This joke has a lot of layers. Especially if you know the history of animation. Here's a summary: 1. Walt Disney's antisemitism 2. An American Tail was a Don Bluth movie and was Disney's major competition in the 1980s & 90s 3. Maybe a small reference to McCarthyism
Disney wasn't anti-Semitic - he worked closely, on multiple movies, with Jews who worked in his company and had very good relations with them all. He did however have a problem with Communists and was very much in support of them being removed from the film industry. Well, alot of Commies in Hollywood happened to be Jews. Heck, the first people executed for spying on behalf of the Soviet Union in the US were the Rosenbergs, an American Jewish couple. So you can see how his anti-Communist views got changed to Disney being an anti-Semite, despite multiple Jews working at Disney and working with Disney and none of them ever having any problem with him
Yep, and I found out that Freeform (a Disney-owned network) is going to be airing the episode this clip is from, on Friday, June 28 at 12 AM. I'm not joking.
I easily burst out laughing @ 0:11 for simply mentioning one of my favorite characters in pop culture, which I was hoping they’d do for quite some time!
@@mr_indie_fan Did you ever hear the tragedy of blue sky studio? I thought not. It’s not a story the mouse would tell you. It’s a a former Disney animator legend
@@jrickducking6685 They had one iconic movie Ice age in 2000 and the rest of their movies have been mediocre. I hate Disney monopoly but saying Blue Sky was some incredible studio is revisionism. It was only a matter of time they got the axe
This scene reminds me of Disney getting revenge on Don Bluth for leaving them. Best revenge they ever did get Disney was actually buying off fox and now his movies that were on 20th century fox are now officially part of Disney
It's really cool to see Fievel from An American Tail to be in a popular animated series like Family Guy. Other popular series has some reference of An American Tail as well, like South Park parodies Somewhere Out There and in one of the new episodes of the Simpsons, when the Simpsons go to New York, Homer referenced Fievel. It's refereshing to see a really great under-appreciated classic film being pop cultured reference in these shows.
The hidden Joke is the guy who did the voice of Frank Maxwell is the actual current voice actor of Mickey Mouse for Disney. And Seth played Mickey in this bit.
@@mastereditor3483 No he's not, Bret Iwan is Disney's official voice actor for the mouse actually. Only other guy I can think of that they allow to voice him is Chris Diamantopoulos which is a whole nother thing. Not to be rude or to start an argument or anything, but where did you get your information?
@@FreeSpiritPaulette Chris Diamantopoulos is one of the official voices of Mickey Mouse. Bret Iwan is just in the parks. But Chris is in the shows, the shorts, Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway ride, the firework shows at Disney parks. So I would say that makes him an official voice of Mickey Mouse. They have two right now. Look it up.
@FreeSpiritPaulette Frankly he does a good job at being a new, funny, more Walt like(in the Voice), stylized version of Mickey Mouse. Everything I said is accurate. I never said Bret wasn’t. But he’s only currently on the kiddie shows.
Mickey Mouse is just jealous that An American Tail beats a major Disney movie in the box office back in 1986. So of course Mickey has a hate against Fievel Mousekewitz, thus this scene happen in Family Guy.
I love how deep this goes since Walt was racist ass hole and people compared him to Hitler so family Guy made Mickey hate Jews just like Hitler heh good one FG good one
"Hi, I'm Peter Griffin. Under parody law, in order to use someone else's character in an unlicensed fashion, we have to provide something called commentary. The commentary here is that Mickey Mouse hates Jews." I'm not a big fan of Mickey Mouse either, so I find it funny that he kills another pop culture mouse in this way. What I find funnier than that is the part where Peter explains the commentary parody law.
Fun fact one of the voice actors for micky mouse was asked to voice this micky but at the time Disney had no rights to family guy and the voice actor was not allowed to voice any micky that’s in a show that Disney doesn’t own
That scene was based on Disney getting revenge over Don Bluth for leaving them. Of course they didn't kill him but still he was the one animator that's fought against Disney. Eventually inspiring others like DreamWorks to be in the same boat as him he used to just release his animated movies the same day Disney animated movies would release. His final two films completely bombed I'm talking about Titan AE along with Anastasia those are the last movies he ever made. Ironically some of his movies part of 20th century Fox are now owned by Disney guarantee you he probably must be crushed.
Disney was one the very few Hollywood studios started by a Christian Gentile. Many Jews fled to to Hollywood because they were locked out of other businesses due to antisemitism. Many Irish and Italians are also influential in Hollywood for similar reasons. Paramount, Fox, Universal, Warner Bros., MGM, and almost all other major Hollywood studios were actually started by Jews. Although many of them were very conservative in beliefs compared to today. Disney was not an anti-semite, and worked with many Jewish producers and actors.
Further context , Seth refuses to stop making this joke despite the fact its been proven that Walt Disney wasn't a nazi or hated jews, at worst he was just as anti Semitic as anybody else from that time period....but Seth hasn't had an original joke in years so why bother
Actually, Walt wasn't anti-Semitic. He hired Jewish people into his company, some having high-ranking positions. One of his daughters, Diane Disney-Miller briefly dated a Jewish guy and he had no issues with it, even saying he's happy the guy's family accepted her. He also donated to much to Jewish charities that he was named Man of the Year by the B'nai B'rith chapter in Beverly Hills, which is a Jewish service organization.
Same first one too that means Simpson’s and one of these other fox cartoon films universe together are on the verge to referencing our childhood I think Simpson’s might on the verge to reference the land before time soon noooooo!!!

@@vahidhosoda6614 The Simpsons did do An American Tail reference. In an episode where the Simpsons take a trip to New York so Bart will look for Mary, Homer mentioned about Fievel Mousekewits.

I love how Natalia is honest with Stewie.
To be fair, she's not after Stewie and Stewie has no interest in protecting the mouse... XD
She understands him
No you don't .

Mickey Mouse was the one who killed Frank Maxwell, who is Jewish, and Natalia is Belarusian. What a kind and honest Eastern Slavic woman.
I’m going to assume that since Disney now owns family guy, this is canon

I believe is not a joke but a confession of how Disney got to power, riches and fame
And people say that they’re all about the money and business. Someone like that would NEVER let a joke like this come out to make them look bad.

Apparently 16th season aired in 17-18 and Disney bought Fox in 19
Commentary is expressing a view on something. This is, technically, still counting as commentary, so Disney can't compete with that.
