And now we bring you the musings of Phyllida Archer-Dowd, co-founder of the Children’s Protectorate Council:
It is my sad duty to report that the Disney organization has spiraled even further into the depths of degradation, shattered family values, and outright poor messages that have epitomized the organization’s animated features over the past years. One cannot help but have low expectations for a company that endorses sodomy, after all. (How else to explain the appalling company policies which have led to the quite-proper boycotts organized by our Baptist friends?) Certainly Disney’s recent animation outings have underscored the continued erosion of the once-family-friendly foundations that once epitomized the company. The Hunchback of Notre Dame, with its intense perversion of religious imagery and relentlessly dark tone, was absolutely horrid. Hercules was a film focusing on the adventures of ancient and discounted deities who have no relevance to today’s Christian society and certainly can only cause confusion in young children who are presented with the story-book Olympians as “gods.” It is left to the parents to try and clean up after Disney’s mess, and the company’s disregard for the difficulties of modern-day parenting is nothing short of horrendous.
But with the advent of Mulan, I’m afraid that we must truly take exception.
