Pixar’s Female Problem: Please Stop Asking Me, “What About Jessie?”

[MADem]

13. I was an aging adult when they first came on the scene.

I just knew they only had one female Smurf in the lot--that, and the one old guy, I found odd. They'll never be able to add any "Smurfettes" with that demographic, unless they manufacture them!

I grew up on the Three Stooges (with their woo-woo-woo-woo-woo foolishness and eye-poking, head bopping dangerous practices) and cartoons that are, viewed through adult eyes, horribly racist, sexist and intolerant in many instances, with adult conversations and themes that went totally over my head as a young kid, but with, as a factor in very slight mitigation, fabulous soundtracks culled from the classics. Of course, we didn't always have a television, so I'd sometimes only see them before the movie started.

Everything old is new again...they've remade the Stooges, too!
