Disney also an anti-smoking add staring Eugene Levi in front of any Disney related picture that has smoking in it. Just watch Adventureland and you will see what I am talking about. I run a theater and that is the rule with Disney.

This makes me want to watch all the old Disney movies I used to watch as a child. I had no idea they were promoting smoking so much back in the day, it's a wonder I never picked up the habit.

"Remember when Disney characters were allowed characters to smoke on film?"

Weblogs are fucking retarded.

I am pretty sure that the Seven Dwarfs are the effects of drugs. Just think about it...

"In 1966, Wlat Disney, a life-longsmoker, died of lung cancer at the age of 65. In a fitting tribute Walt was cremated and his ashes scattered."

I don't know about you guys, but that line made me chuckle, and it's interesting to note that all those characters who did that but is not like the cool characters did it, it was mostly the bad guys, when Pinocchio did it he felt sick...the only exception here is Peter Pan.

Yeah, but Pan was smoking weed from a peace pipe, and just like Pan, too much weed has kept me from growing up, as well.

the fact that there will no longer be smoking in disney movies is ridiculous. i child cant go out and buy a cigarettes or weed. i smoke now (in the quitting process), and when i started i didnt think, "well if peter pan and pinnochio do it...", absolutely ridiculous, it adds to the characters.

So I watched all these movies throughout my childhood. I'm now 21 years old, and I can honestly say I have smoked a cigarette once, when I was 14. Why does smoking in films cause such a problem? I'm living proof it doesn't effect children.

Same here. I've only touched a cigarette once, however I do smoke cigars, although only on special occasions. Can't say I've been too affected by these movies.

Yes, but did you smoke cigars because of Disney movies? :P

Because as it is said in the last words of the song Blame Canada in the South Park movie (which is sung by the parents):
"We must blame them and cause a fuss, before someone thinks of blaming us!"

are these still in their respective films, or has Disney pulled a dick move and white washed their history?

haha that was cool.

This was kind of funny, sort of rude. I agree with the other post. For the most part the characters shown smoking are "bad" guys, or there is shown to be some adverse effect. And Peter is only smoking because he is a friend to the....ummm, Native-"Neverlanders". I get sick of the anti-smoking stuff. If they spent half their time and energy on more pressing social evils we could be living in a utopia by now.

what "more pressing social evils" you think deserve attention.

Trolls on blogs.

yeah, plus don't forget how that smoking caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland (the 1951 Disney animated feature) was portrayed as evil and scary.

I think most of those were either character traits or anti smoking scenes. But yeah, so were a glamorization of smoking. Doesn't mean it should be gone in relation to the character traits of older people, just acknowledged in rating.

I read somewhere (I think it was Cartoon Brew) that they are trimming it down because of sensitive feelings towards Walt's death from lung cancer.
