Walt Disney didn't like blacks or people with too dark skin.
Walt didn't like Jews.
Walt didn't like women working in the studio except the ink and paint department, where he would send people to stand over them and look for shaking. 1 shake and there were fired. He then would fire the women 30 and over becase they were shaky.
The Disney strike was a big deal. He became paranoid and joined a Government agency to seek out spies and he falsly accused many people, including the leader of the strike. He was fired and I believe his life was ruined. There is a lot to this one, and it is pretty deep. What I said barely scratched the surface and was VERY summarized.
One of the more interesting ones in this topic was "The Disney parks are environmentally wasteful, and should be abandoned in order to prevent the waste of finite resources (water, petroleum products, etc)". If you can dig up facts and support this, or give suggestions to make them greener, it could be really interesting.
Sevral of the ideas really aren't THAT good, because with logic you can back them up, or they are fake.
Disney dosn't support gays in their feature films. - Disney's animated films are largly made for families with young kids. There already is VERY little kissing in the films, normally one or two from the main couple at the end of the film. To have gay characters you would either need them to announce it, and that would be horribly akward for a family movie, or they would need to kiss. The only way they would kiss is if they were the main couple, and seeing that there are not any popular fairlytales featuring gay leads, I don't expect one any time soon.
Disney dosn't support other races in feature films. - I never understood this one. Roughly 18/50 of the Disney films feature human stars. ALL of them come from fairytales, and all but one is true to the roots of the story, The Princess and the Frog. These are all the countries Disney has represented in their films, or most of them: Germany, China, America (including American Indians, Inuits, and African Americans), Greece, Muslim Nations, India, France, Brazil, Mexico, Pacific Islands, Italy, and Africa. Dinsey is not racist, and if you use this one you are picking a losing battle.
The Princesses promote female sterotypes - Again...there is no logic here! First Disney didnt make there stories up! They were around for hundreds of years before and DIsney took them and made a movie. The characters are the same (except one, Tiana) for the stories. What do you want a Sleeping Beauty who dosn't sleep? A Snow White that dosn't eat the apple? And also what about the many female pricesses that go against this? Belle saves the Beast, Pocahantas saves John Smith, Mulan saves China, Areil saves Eric after Eric saves her, and Jasmin conridics many Aribic traditions. Awful topic.
Disney Princesses exclude boys - I guess Pirates ecludes girls, as does Aladdin, Tarzan. The movies are geared to families, the merch is geared to boys. For the Princesses, the movies are geared to the families and the merch is geared to girls. I didn't think this was even an issiue.
The Disney parks are inherently classist, and emblematic of a de facto class structure in America. - This is very personal opinion. I think this needs more than that.
The ones I gave you were topics I showed my college English Teacher. I ended up not using them because they were really deep, and the teacher wanted something light and fluffy. She did say they were good topics though, so I would consider them. The others don't make much sense with critical thinking and that won't fly in a College COmp. class.
