I believe that all Disney movies are wrong to watch, and try to avoid them as much as possible. Why are you focussing a topic on just ONE of those evil Disney movies? Aren't there other wicked ones that many teens love to watch, such as The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and The Lion King? These have strange fantasies portrayed in them, and should not be watched by Christians.

LadyBaird: True, a death or two is often featured in Disney films, usually minimally (only very few clear deaths, and most implied or happening only in silhouette or shadow, as opposed to full view in some flicks where they mow down people like blades of grass), but it invariably is featured as something undesirable; and violence as such usually is practiced by the villain, while the hero usually triumphs by confrontation without having to be violent per se, the villain's violent end usually coming about as a direct result of his refusal to stop being violent -- quite unrealistically in some cases, but the point is to consider which approach is actually being promoted.
Cousin Ted: You most definitely should keep watching those classic Looney Tunes! Disney's no slouch, but Warner Bros. always did have the funnier range and the wackier reach. I applaud your taste! ~David D.G.

Well, think about it.
Litte Mermaid: Hussy who goes around wearing nothing but a bra. Though at least she doesn't wear pants...on the other hand she doesn't wear a skirt either. Aladdin: Portrays Middle Eastern people sympathetically. Doesn't Disney know we're at war with them? Beauty and the Beast: Gaston, who clearly believes in the Christian ideal of having a wife who is completely under his control and waits on him hand and foot is portrayed as some kind of boorish lout! Lion King: Everybody knows only snakes talk. Heroic, take-charge character Scar, a role model for Rovian politics everywhere, is portrayed as some kind of villain. And none of the characters solve their problems by praying to God and having him magically poof them away. So yes, those movies are very very evil.

Hooray for lists!

1. The Little Mermaid: Any fantastical creature that's not mentioned in the Bible is satanic! Including mermaids. And the heroine's love for a mortal man that her father does not approve of is sinful! She should only focus on a man that her father would want her to marry! She has flowing red hair, which represents her sinful nature. Also, she's inquisitive and imaginative, and often ventures out from her home, and we all know how godless that is.

2. Aladdin: Because heaven forbid we portray Middle Eastern people in a positive light. Why, in the movie, they even mentioned that taboo word, Allah, once! How shameful! Children will be swayed to worship Allah instead our God, even though they're one and the same. Also, Jasmine's unwillingness to be married off to a rich prince shows her defiance of her "natural role." And genies are obviously satanic.

3. Beauty and the Beast: Since this is my favorite Disney movie, I'll temporarily take a break from sarcasm to say...what the heck?! A movie promoting the message that true beauty lies within is wicked? How is that against Christian values? What, are the talking objects somehow instruments of darkness too? Or they can't just bear the fact that Belle is an intelligent, educated, and independent woman and that she willingly rejects the chauvinistic oaf Gaston?

4. The Lion King: Because, since it's partly based off of "Hamlet" it must be wicked, since we all know how wicked Shakespeare was. It takes place in that heathen continent, Africa. And talking animals poison the minds of children.

Seriously, these fundies need to get a life.

P.S. Disney rocks, especially the movies that were just mentioned.
P.P.S. DrWeird. wins!
