Why this petition matters

Started by Seth LaFrance

Disney has a well known personal tradition in animation: show closeups of bare feet from various characters in TV shows and/or films. Some closeups might include toe wiggling, hula dancing, dipping in water, pedicures, etc. For example, Rapunzel from Tangled had a closeup of her feet when touching the grass. Another example is Donald Duck from Mickey Mouse Roadster Racers stepping on the gas pedal with a closeup of his foot because he's always barefoot in his racer suit. Even another example shows Ariel from Little Mermaid wiggling her toes after becoming a human.

Just to honor this tradition, the song Barefootin' by Robert Parker should be added to the Disney media. This song became very popular in the 60s, other types of media wanted to use it for their own reasons like music videos with various concepts. Some music videos of that song might have different types of settings like the beach, the forest, or just any place imaginable. For example, Kidsongs performed the music video set on the beach just to show benefits of feeling the sand on bare feet.

The absolute problem with foot focus is that animators are sometimes obsessed with it; even fan artists intend to take full advantage of that problem and post various pictures on the internet. Those pictures haves concepts such as showing feet, sexual content, and just roleplaying. To make good animation, foot focus needs to be officially used only at the right moment and for all the right reasons.

In conclusion, this might be a glorious opportunity for Disney Animation to add Barefootin' to their media, because of their well known personal tradition of showing closeups of bare feet and/or paws. They can either make this kind of music video to happen either on films, television, or digital streaming networks. To make a really good music video with that song, you have to come up with a well organized concept as best as humanly possible.
