Before Disney's popularized Dias De Los Muertos as a family and memories holiday it was mostly seen as
>Woah those wacky mexicans sure love death and skeletons

that's basically the same thing
anon, day of the dead IS characterized by death and skeletons, and mexicans sure as hell do love em
hell youre giving an example from a cartoon worked on by mexicans
sure they might not have understood all the day is about, but death and skeletons are a big aspect of it
>Before Disney's popularized Dias De Los Muertos
Somehow I doubt it was some weird obscure ethnic thing until 2017
that's the thing, it was seen as an holiday where people met a living skeletons and fought it and things like that.
Now it's whole deal is about memories and family.
>Before Disney's popularized Dias De Los Muertos as a family and memories holiday
M8 they had cartoons talking about this as early as the 80s and the 90s and 00s were full of them, Disney didn't popularize that shit at all. You sound like you're too young to actually remember the culture of the time.
tell me 4 cartoons from 80s-200s that talked about Dias Muertos as a family holiday on remembering your ancestors and wasn't just skeletons masks
the skeleton masks ARE our ancestors you racist
Spiderman 2099
The Wild Thornberries
The Halloween Tree
Third thing
Jackie Chan
>The Halloween Tree
My nugga
>The Halloween Tree
>The Halloween Tree
that's Halloween, moron
>He hasn't seen the Halloween Tree
It's about different related celebrations all over the world you giga moron, there's an entire Dia de los Muertos celebration at the end.

Anon you're a fricking moron. Most likely you were raised in some gay family that actually bought the concept of "Latinx".
maybe you're latinos but for the ones that aren't brown our only exposure of Dia de Muertos was just "they love skeletons in an halloween ripoff that doesn't have candies".
We didn't know of candy skulls or any of the remembering ancestors thing.
I'm an American born-and-raised with no hispanic background. No, there were a lot of things that were specifically meant to teach about this at the time. Maybe you, personally, were not exposed to them, don't speak for the life experiences of others.
>don't speak for the life experiences of others.
or else?
I'm not, I'm not even from a particularly Latino part of the country and all the major Latino hubs near me were Puerto Ricans and Carribean-types. My regular experience with Dia Del Los Muertos was tv shows and maybe some gay class assignments. Like fricking Venture Bros had a throw away line in the Mexico episode and even that mentioned it being about the souls of the honored dead despite having nothing to do with the overall plot. I think you just had limited personal exposure and assume that's how it was for everyone before you were introduced to something.
The whole point is they're basically inedible because they're built for display not for eating. You're supposed to have fun making the thing not eating it. I think maybe just get some edible gingerbread and then if they want to eat some give it to them while building.
No, I’m white. I dunno why you think I’d have to be brown to watch The Wild Thornberries.
Not Cinemaphile BUT it was Disney, Beverly Hills Chihuahua does actually explain the meaning behind the holiday during a festival scene and touches on other aspects of Mexican culture like having coyotes smuggling people across the border represented by actual coyotes kek.
Before hyenas became thugs for the big bad they were stereotyped as
>ahah these animals laugh and nothing else!
Now they are futas
Your disgusting fetishes don't count
This was a pretty fun episode and I like that it dealt with the fact that Grim is literally the Grim Reaper. However it came out long after millennials stopped watching the show so don't expect them to recognize the pic.
Millennials don't even know what this show is
Ares was always seen as the brute of the greek gods (and Wonder Woman's villain) in recent times it got full blown villain that wants to destroy the universe for his own complex.
Ey man, you can't have Hades be the bad guy all the time
Dumbass Zoomer OP
Billy and Mandy is a zoomer show so it's fitting
I don't know if this fits the thread but nowadays it's incredibly easy to tell if an anthropomorphic character was drawn by a furry.
Zootopia effect
how can you tell?
Nah, I remember stuff like an episode of The Wild Thornberries and that one movie, The Halloween Tree, depicting Dia de Los Muertos as a family holiday about memories and venerating dead family.
Coco didn’t really change anything. It was probably just your personal introduction to the idea, not everyone else’s
All my enthusiasm of that holiday died when I read online that Sugar Skulls taste like shit
They’re not that bad, they’re just also not as delicious as you’d expect them to be.
Aren’t they just all the same stuff as those sugar panoramic easter eggs?
>Dropping all care for a holiday because the candy is crap
No, you just want an excuse. That's like having one mediocre Candy Cane and writing off Christmas for it.
I’m so glad king cake didn’t disappoint me. In hindsight, it seems like something I should have been wary of, but it’s just as good as I was hoping so I lucked out. I’m just disappointed no one up north here respects the tradition so I can’t have a proper king cake party with them.
really? oh no 🙁 . I guess americans have a similar concept of "don't eat this delicious theoretically thing" with gingerbread houses, but those disappoint me too
Haven't had a gingerhouse in over a decade
How badly disapointed would my child self be if I try one today?
What constitutes Disney Popularizing it? Do you mean Coco? Because even when I was a kid in the early 00s the "Family and Memories" aspect of the holiday was always mentioned in the few instances where it would come up.
To this day, and mostly 'cause cartoons and comics, we portray Vikings wearing horned helmets. Even Cartoon Saloon does this. In reality they rarely did that. If fact there's no actual concrete evidence of they doing it at all.
What about Hagar the Horrible?
Do they?
Now they're doing the new age homoerotic viking leather armor.
Vikingskool is doing it too, horned helmets are over, it's time for tattooed leather homosexual vikings.
Homoerotic Vikings, finally true representation.
My fav part about your picrel example is that episode does explore the family aspect of the dia de los muertos celebration. Of course in the sardonic fashion you'd expect from Billy & Mandy, but still, it does it.
does it? The episode says the reason the holiday was created is because a conquistador stole a nose israeliteel and the natives dressed up as skeletons to retrieve it.
In the episode Billy had a joke lost long brother El Uglio but wasn't related to the holiday and was a gag.
>Oh right. The crazy dead people Christmas you people celebrate. What, is that supposed to be today?
>dead people christmas
easter?
That's the one with the rabbits.
>Person assumes that their experience in life is universal and when multiple people point out that this isn't the case, they get defensive about it and try and claim that they're from a very specific background to maintain the idea that what they experienced is what everyone experienced
Why is this so common, holy frick you're not the only person in the world and it's more likely than not that you've missed some part of popular culture somewhere along the line. That's fine. It's ok. When you start acting like this can only be the case of others having lived in a niche situation and not yourself though that's just silly.
That's completly fake; way before Disney did their movies, and just going by Cinemaphile related stuff since we are here anyway, there were plenty of references, movies, and explanations. Your pic related is just a very bizarre show that was never serious, nor did it intend to be.
what's with Cinemaphile and falling for the shittiest most obvious bait imaginable? even the most braindead of fish could see this is bait
Sort of related... Rabbits do not naturally eat carrots, they only eat the green leaves. They can in fact get diabetes from being fed too many carrots. The only reason people believe rabbits want carrots is because of Bugs Bunny, who was actually just referencing this popular(at the time) movie scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyWMOt11ceU That scene is also why so many cartoons had the "toon pulls up his leg skin to reveal a woman's leg to get a car to stop" gag.
It's probably one of the most influential rom-coms ever made and still highly watchable nearly a hundred years later. I'm surprised that they aren't making a shitty Netflix remake of it or something.
This has nothing to do with what the thread is about.
Rabbits eating carrots are now a popular concept, with rabbits being depicted with carrots in toys and drawings all over the place. So sort of related.
If you had a new modern stereotype of rabbits that replaced the carrot eating one then it would make sense for the thread.
Well then I guess it's sort of related because it's wrong just like OP.
Its not but it was still interesting
About rabbits I can say that they're FINALLY replacing the cat nose with the actual soft triangle nose. Simon finally made me see a real cartoon rabbit nose.
I know it's annoying when we accuse other cartoons of shit but Bugs Bunny and Bambi really made cartoonists think rabbits had these weird button noses.
Elinor Wonders Why is still guilty of round nose but I can try to excuse it for the artstyle.
I'm mexican, living in mexico and dia de los muertos is not that important at all. Only a few cities in the south care, to the point that the mexico city parade was invented by james bond for the movie spectre and was kept for tourism. Other countries like it because some of the imagery is unique, but cartoons and movies exaggerate it a lot. It's not a holiday anyone looks forward to, not even a bank holiday and those b***hes take the day of the virgin off.
