Stereotypes can be used for statement, effect, and to illustrate a point. Disney uses them for all the wrong reasons, and tries to be stealth about it.
I can think of lots of cartoons that used stereotypes that still have artistic integrity. Just look at Ralph Bakshi, Bob Clampett, or Osamu Tezuka.
Disney lost it's way some time in the 50's and has continued in a (mostly) downward trend. To worry about the word "Frog", and the name "Maddy" is pathetic.
