watching the Proud Family’s Kwanzaa episode and man were they on some cultural awareness shit.
first they celebrated Kwanzaa, a holiday Disney hadn’t covered yet.
then they talked about homelessness
then they had vegan characters who took the time to explain what that meant
all in a show already progressive for it’s time.
man disney needs to crank out shit like this nowadays.
They also had an episode on Islam and Ramadan!
Penny wore the hijab and everything and they even mentioned how the hijab is a choice!
At the end of the episode the Muslim family’s house is vandalized. You spend an entire episode loving these characters and then see their home ruined with ‘go back to where you came from’ scrawled over their garage. A very powerful episode.
What i love about this artist’s depictions of women is even the sexualized ones the woman is always genuinely happy and enjoying herself. Frolicking or making funny faces, she’s living her life and looking sexy while doing it, not sitting in a sexual pose for the audience’s view.
I always forget about Hilda and am so pleased when she randomly shows up on my dash. Always makes my day
I love Hilda so much and I want her to be happy
more Hilda!
I freaking love Hilda, there’s needs to be more art like this.
