I noticed that some of the old disney movies like the jungle book, they dont make much reference to the movie being in India, since there is no indian music playing, and the indian girl at the end is stereotypical, and the architecture is stereotypical. Then in pinocchio, I would have not known it was in Italy, cinderella, snow white and sleeping beauty, i dont know where they are. The later movies, like the little mermaid make european references, the hunchback and beauty and the beast make french references, aladdin makes arab references, pocahontas makes both english and native references, and mulan makes chinese reference. And i have noticed disney songs like arabian nights, bells of notre dame, belle, be our gest, steady as the beating drum, virginia company, fathoms below, and to bring honor to us all seem to sound more like the culture they represent, verses music from the older movies.
