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

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? .-.

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.

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.

It taught me some good values such as that apples are bad and that I should hate old people.
