RANT: Disney is Getting Stupid: Ralph Breaks the Internet and Childhood Sermons

"You're too needy and clingy?" It's like watching that stupid C-bear and Jamal episode where they use the hilariously stupid song "I Got Jamal," to convey the same idea. I'm just getting really tired of these hard lesson movies Disney keeps spewing from the back of its *ss. I mean, I get a movie is supposed to have a message nowadays, at least that's what the industry tells you to do when you go to college for such, but c'mon man! There ways to teach such things without Mickey putting his crack on the camera lens, showing how disgusting "being too close" can be "evil." Honestly Disney, your writers could have used their imagination better than that. It just overall ruined the movie, thus wasting my time. I know many people are going to say, "You're 28, the movie isn't for you in the first place," but do you really think your kids are going to remember this lesson in the future? When they look back, will this be a memorable movie because it taught them not to be "too clingy?" Most likely not. Your kids are going to remember a kinder talk with you rather than an insecurity virus.
