-> I noticed that, too, the heavy reliance by the author upon a single

->  It's fun, for example, to watch Fantasia, but then, also, we need

-> the slippery slope to alcoholism and witchcraft.
I respect what you're saying and the fact that you have looked m;mat
these things very closely with a Christian eye, but I honestlt cannot
see how Fantasia could ever be said to lead to alcoholism and
witchcraft. I have never seen or talked to a person that said they
became involved in alcoholism and/or witchcraft as a result of seeing
ANY film - much less Fantasia.
-> said before, Disney isn't perfect and as long as we Christians
-> realize it and are careful, we can enjoy what is good about things
-> Disney.  There's enough PG-13, R and NC-17 being done, so I agree
-> Disney should  focus on G and Family entertainment!  A very good
-> example of what is good  about Disney, from the
Disney makes the vast bulk of it's money making family movies released
through Walt Disney Motion Pictures. They should stick with that and
stop trying to make money off of movies like "Priest" and "Chasing Amy".
They should sell their other companies (such as Hollywood and Miramax
and Touchstone) or turn them into companies that make wholesome, family
entertainment. Disney is king when it comes to making great,
entertaining family movies - they should stay with that and get OUT of
the sleaze business.
-> entertainment!  A very good example of what is good  about Disney,
-> from the Christian perspective, was their Candlelight  Processional
-> program at EPCOT. My wife and I really enjoyed that Christmas
-> program!
Yes, the book, Disney and the Bible incorrectly reported that Disney has
stopped the Christian reading of the nativity at it its theme parks, but
it is still going on. It's still going to happen at Disneyland this
year.
