Last week I caught a trailer for this movie coming out in March. (Thanks to Ina)

And quickly quite a few people went to the internet to voice their opinioins. Notably this conversation back and forth
Person.A said:
Looks like Disney is finally coming out of the closet with their not so secret agenda of satanic worship and black magic practices. Countless years of brainwashing and trying to reprogram how the most vulnerable think, feel, and view the world through Satan's eyes not God's. I will leave Disney with this:
Isaiah 29:14-16 Therefore behold, I will once again deal marvelously with this people, wondrously marvelous; And the wisdom of their wise men will perish, And the discernment of their discerning men will be concealed." Woe to those who deeply hide their plans from the LORD, And whose deeds are done in a dark place, And they say, "Who sees us?" or "Who knows us?" You turn things around! Shall the potter be considered as equal with the clay, That what is made would say to its maker, "He did not make me"; Or what is formed say to him who formed it, "He has no understanding "?
God clearly warns you about this.
When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD, and because of these detestable practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you. You must be blameless before the LORD your God. The nations you will dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery or divination. But as for you, the LORD your God has not permitted you to do so (Deuteronomy 18:9-14)
Person.B said: Matthew 7:12
"Therefore, however you want people to treat you, so treat them, for this is the Law and the Prophets."
How would you like it if someone from a hundred different religions kept trying to convert you and tell you christianity was wrong constantly? To tell you how horrible you're going to suffer for being so foolish?
Respect other peoples beliefs, and don't belittle them. And we won't belittle yours. That is what Jesus would do.
Person.A said: Are there not already people world-wide who say these things about Christianity? God's word does not belittle, His words show you the truth, the way, and the life that is Jesus Christ and what he did for all of humanity through the workings of the cross. No where here have I disrespected others beliefs. They may not like God's truth but by no means is that disrespect on my part for witnessing His words. It is out of love that we go forth and witness. We want ALL people to have an eternal life with Him. His words were breathed out from the beginning.
Person.B said: Yes you are belittling people's beliefs. I'm not telling you that you're wrong because we're all entitled to our own beliefs and that's just another opinion. Don't try to say, "But someone out there already belittles me." as a response because I'm talking about right now and treating others how you want to be treated. That has nothing to do with any past behavior of the secular or non-secular, it's about setting an example for respect for other's beliefs.
Jesus is about loving/respecting your fellow man and respecting the beliefs of others, not condemning them. You are going to have to accept that people don't believe what you believe and learn to respect that.
What do you guys think? There is a lot of powerful imagery in that trailer; is Disney taking another step into desensitizing our kids towards sorcery and witchcraft? Is this just harmless entertainment? clearly we need more epic KH3 worlds so they added this

Most of the bosses in KH are pretty pathetic, its not supposed to be a hard game. I mean, Sephiroth will wail on you if you go in there underequipped, and some of the other arena bosses were a challenge, but the main story difficulty was weak.

I've watched this trailer a few times now, and all I'm thinking is, "This is a brilliant live-action movie from Disney..."
Am I missing a deeper meaning? Do I care? .-.

The original sleeping beauty was dark, this is just modern.

Had to level to beat the Phantom. If you were too weak you just couldn't beat him.

I always thought of Maleficent as being closest to pure evil out of all the Disney villains. I dunno if they'll try to bring sympathy to the character, but I almost hope they don't.

Jafar, Malicefent always where my fav. baddies when i was younger (last few disney movies i added Falicier to my top 3 :P) anyway I'm not a verry big fan of angelina jolie (i always think she looks like a ... well... >_> not gonna use the word here lol) but she looks good in this movie XD (even though i'm not to wild on her playing my fav. baddie).
I'll never get why people always need to get their panties in a knot over everything these days... the original Malicefent was an evil witch too... ._. what did people expect?
I'm personally sceptical about the movie though ^^; i like disney animated movies alot more then their live action once... . :3 but i'll prob. go out and watch it anyway one of my best friends is a big angelina fan).

If Salem had tried to burn a witch like Maleficent at the stake, I'm pretty sure she would've wiped the town off the map....

I fear this is a problem with modern society. No one knows the difference between art and propaganda. This movie simply presents an artistic take on a classic Disney tale; it's not telling kids that they need to make pentagrams in their basement and slaughter goats. Besides, the crap on television is much worse. I honestly fear more for those unlucky souls who are exposed to 24 hour "news" channels like Fox News.

Well, those were lumped in with my generalized, sweeping statement of news channels. I didn't forget, I just didn't use them in my list of examples.

Just to put this in perspective....
Christian-Right Attacks on the Girl Scouts Go Big Time
Quote: In 2012, Family Research Council leader Tony Perkins suggested that liberals use Girl Scouts to indoctrinate kids because they're "not having kids so they want to make sure they can get our kids." Radio host Kevin Swanson denounced the Girl Scouts in 2013 for not providing a model of "godly womanhood" and equating support for the Girl Scouts with support for lesbianism, Planned Parenthood, and abortion.
If people like this are bashing a move I am going to buy two boxes of girl scout cookies to eat while I watch it.

is Disney taking another step into desensitizing our kids towards sorcery and witchcraft?
Simple fix, if you don't want your children exposed to such things, then don't take them to watch the movie.
It's not up to the entertainment industry to ensure the wellbeing of the nation's children.
Not saying the OP thinks that, but it's tiring seeing people blame one industry or another for the failings of parents.
With all that said, I'm more apt to have my children watch Disney movies than the evening news. I'd rather them be desensitized to witchcraft/sorcery than to murder, rape, war, drug use, and inaccurate weather reports.

Disney movies have always featured or revolved around magic/sorcery/witchcraft. This isn't new.
The first ever animated Disney movie featured a witch that put Snow White into a sleeping death. That's pretty witchcrafty.
