    I don’t feel comfortable with Disney indoctrinating my children with controversial christian beliefs. I would like to choose the time and place where I speak to my children about the problematic christian lifestyle.

    Disney already had a well-executed openly Christian character, Claude Frollo from the Hunchback of Notre Dame. He had a whole song about Christianity.

      Finally, the most oppressed class getting representation for the ten millionth time.

      Also, you have to go all the way back to Roman Emperor Diocletian to find a time when Christians were an oppressed class. Since then they have often been the oppressor class.

    Disney will never top their best Christian character, the priest with a boner while officiating the wedding in Little Mermaid.

    Is it a story about escaping the cult, moving to the big city and cutting off contact with your psychotic family??

    Oh, not like that? Can’t relate then.

      This country has goldfish memory, it’ll be flushed before the film even leaves theaters.

    It seems like there’s a few threads going on.

    I think pulling the openly trans storyline is bad.

    I think having the “openly” Christian character is totally fair and reasonable.

    We shouldn’t be in the attitude of pushing out character identities, except whole cloth bigots. I’m not a Christian, but having openly Christian characters is fine with me.

    I’ll add a caveat that it could even be a good thing if they actually bring up Christ’s words. You know: caring for the poor, giving shelter to aliens, loving your enemies. I think a lot of Christians would benefit by having the words of Christ more present in their lives.

      It would have been cringe and counterproductive

      Disney isn’t a company capable of creating good art anymore. No matter who they try to pander to, it will be shallow, tired, and insufferable.

    Ah Disney showing their old ways again. They never changed but the mask has. Disney will always be an awful company.
