| Question:
Do you consider Disney movies [Snow White, Aladdin, Beauty & Beast,
etc.] harmless entertainment or something that we should keep away from
our kids?
|
|
Response:
I think that each video has to be judged on its individual merit. My
kids have seen many of the "old" Disney films, and I don't really have a
problem with the content, although they often include witches and
faeries. However, I have not allowed them to view the more recent ones,
such as The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Lion King, and Pocahontas, because I felt that the content was NOT
appropriate. Even the old Disney video Fantasia is not allowed at our
home because of its portrayal of evolution and Hell.
If we can't watch those "old" videos, can we read the books? Grimm's
Fairy Tales? Tales from the Arabian Nights? Aesop's Fables? Hans
Christian Anderson? The list goes on and on. Again, I believe each
book must be dealt with individually
Another reason that we don't purchase these anymore is because we have
boycotted Disney products across the board. I would love to take my
kids to Disney World, but "Gay Day" bothers me too much.
Perhaps this answer is a "cop-out", but it is my view. Judge each video
or book on its own basis.
