The Social Side of Health is an interesting educational Disney cartoon
tavm31 March 2009
Just watched this educational short cartoon from Walt Disney Productions on YouTube as linked from Cartoon Brew. In this one, the narrator tells of the three sides of health represented by a triangle with the physical side at the bottom, the mental side on the left, and the social side-the subject of this film-on the right. There's a song about how we all need people that begins and ends this short that has some politically incorrect lyrics like how an Indian who makes beads needs tourists! Still, it makes its points effectively and entertainingly when it focuses on a couple of teens-one male and one female-and how different they looked in various eras with fashions and hair not to mention the emergence of certain clicks in separate circles. There's also some mention about how sex and drugs can be destructive-complete with some psychedelic imagery-so obviously this short isn't meant for small children. So on that note, I'd recommend The Social Side of Health as an interesting Disney curio.
