DuckTales, capitalism
Right after this, Uncle Scrooge tells them that he's going to be keeping a portion of their tips, which is not only unethical but also a violation of federal labor law. It's also something that is not incredibly uncommon in the tipped service industry.
It's amazing how often a cartoon caricature of a wealthy capitalist is just like the real thing.
re: DuckTales (1980s) fun fact, racism
modern comic stories usually portray flintheart as DuckTales did
re: DuckTales (1980s) fun fact, racism
to clarify, there were no racist overtones to the comic character that i recall, the cartoon creators just didn't even want to mention the nation
DuckTales (1980s) fun fact, racism
flintheart glomgold, in the original comics, was south african and lived in south africa. he only appeared in three stories by his (and scrooge's) creator, writer and artist carl barks.
when they decided to make flintheart the main villain of the cartoon, they moved him to duckburg and made him scottish like scrooge, partially to make their similarities starker, and partially because they didn't even want to mention south africa in the heat of apartheid.
toy story 3, gender nonconforming intolerance
compare with bo peep in toy story 4, who pointedly doesn't act traditionally feminine, but is presented as a badass
