No Smoking, “No Smoking” sign is hung Disney for all your movies whose rating is recommended for children 13 years old and suitable for all audiences. “It will be absolutely no smoking in the movies of Disney” said Bob Iger, CEO of Disney. This measure will also affect the studios working with them as Marvel, Lucasfilm and Pixar.
In movies, means that for example we will not see the heroes of Marvel or the Star Wars smoking a cigarette. It also means that the characters that you create from now on will not have the habit of inhaling snuff. Therefore no longer possible to see new characters like Cruella de Vil, the villain of the film 101 Dalmatians, always with a nozzle cigar in hand.
The Marvel study and apply this kind of ” smoking ban “since 2001, since when he tries not to show his characters smoking in comics and now have to apply in future films in the cinema. This standard of Disney not affect heroes like Wolverine (Wolverine) that although it belongs to Marvel, their rights to take the film are from Fox Company, therefore Huhg Jackman, who plays Wolverine in theaters still have license to smoking those pure as iconic mutant claws and adamantium skeleton.
Disney only make an exception for ban may see characters smoking in films that focus on a historical character that will be known a great fondness for smoking, which is what will happen in the upcoming movie about Abraham Lincoln.
As of now the debate is open. For some this is a way to whitewash the company Disney, for others reflects a strong commitment to the young audience not to show bad habits at an early age.
Others see it as a form of marketing more. In Internet already a debate in which many opinions are poured, but the decision of the company’s most famous mouse in the world seems very firm: smoking prohibited unless history (real life character) allows
