As any regular listener knows, we often find ourselves confused by Disney's choice in movies when doing this ill-advised dive into their filmography. But this week's confusion has a bit of a different tone to it. Because in 1958's THE LIGHT IN THE FOREST, rather than romanticize the rugged individualism and rough-and-tumble attitude of colonial America, they almost seem...critical of it? Don't get us wrong, that by no means excuses them casting people of every background EXCEPT Native Americans as said peoples. And their villainizing of the evil Uncle Wilse is probably a bit too effective. And there is something off-putting about telling a clash of cultures story through the eyes of a white kid trying to reintegrate into white society after being raised by a tribe of First Nations people...but there's some intriguing ideas put forward here. Plus, James MacArthur has a curly blond mohawk.
