We call those "disobedient movies" and we don't do Disney anymore, except the old stuff from when Walt was still at the helm. Diana, you are so right.

It deals with a lot of voodoo. I know that a lot of Disney movies deal with magic bit this one seemed dark. My 8 year old had bad dreams. Not one I would recommend. The music was not up to Disney standards either in my opinion. I have to tell you I saw this movie and was appalled. It deals with a lot of voodoo.

I've never seen such a bad attitude towards authority as the Little Mermaid. I have had to explain to my kids on several occasions while watching a Disney movie, "Now, kids, that's not the way a child behaves. That child will find nothing but trouble when acting like that!" But what is it about Disney that keeps drawing us back? My issue is with the fact that they have a rebellious child that fails to obey or honor the parent that remains.

If you read the original tales they would make your hair stand on end. Really, why blame Disney when they are just maintaining the gist of the original? Really, I take more issue with the fact that Disney completely changed the original Princess and Frog story.

I never thought about it before but you are so right-- Disney has major mother issues. Also go figure that a brand that is all about fantasy would steer away from functional families...where would the drama be? I mean let's face it, you take out the fairies and princesses saving poor helpless victims and what's left?
