9 Classic Kids Films That Taught Us All Terrible Lessons

5. 101 Dalmatians

101-dalmations I have long been of the opinion that 101 Dalmatians has perpetuated a fiscally and environmentally irresponsible agenda. There's this whole smokescreen with the cute animals and the terrible Satan lady who wants to turn them into a coat, but no one addresses the real issue in this seemingly innocent Disney movie: what's going to happen with all those puppies? Presumably Roger and Anita were serious about keeping all of them. But there's no way they're going to be able to get 101 dalmatians spayed and neutered. Think of the expense! Some of those pups are probably pregnant already, anyway. So essentially, what we're saying is that overpopulation is not an issue that we need to be concerned about. Let those animals keep knocking each other up, because you'll always be able to provide for them and their offspring, right?
