This is the very last movie directed by Walt Disney. If you were wondering what is the reason for global inequalities now you have an answer: cleanliness. Because in the capitalist understanding only the individual can be responsible for personal unhappiness. All other markers of oppression (racism, classism, heteronormativity, patriarchy and their explosive combination) dissapear in a process that this cartoon engages just in order to reproduce oppression and to erase all the signs of its production. The Western viewers are reassured that their consciousness is clean and they have nothing to do with the poor people's misery: it is only their own own choice to stay unclean.
