The goal of any good dystopian story is to warn us about the future that we could end up with if we're not careful. But they're usually inspired by something that's happening right now. Which means that while most of us are watching some cool new show in which future people live in pods and are haunted by cyber ghosts, a few unlucky SOBs are out there already living it. Much like America, Japan's middle class is shrinking thanks to the upsurge in contract-only and temporary work.
There are certain items that we keep around because of their perpetual usefulness. For instance, most of us probably have a flashlight (in case the power goes out), or a broom (in case you accidentally break something after the power goes out), or a hammer (in case you need to hammer something after the power goes out, or you are the one who has cut the power and need a blunt object to facilitate your home invasion).
These old Disney movies are a little bit like your aging Uncle Frank. Honestly, he means well when he points out that Will Smith is "well-spoken." It's just that he, like the assemblage of clips below, dates from a time when people were unfairly characterized by their ethnic background (the acceptable methods are, of course, religion, geography, sexual preference and income).
