Children’s animated movies

Did you watch the video? Especially the clips FROM ACTUAL DISNEY MOVIES?

The Luciferian film "Fight Club" alluded to exactly what Disney did in his films. Splicing in sexual imagery in order to corrupt children. In "Fight Club" Brad Pitt's Satanic character, representing the global elites/Luciferians and with the all-seeing eye burned on his hand, works as a projectionist in a movie theater and for fun splices porno clips into the kids' movies.

it's an addiction.

My intention is not to be condemnatory or come across as belittling but TV/Movies aren't necessary in a Christian's life and if you have somehow convicnced yourself of that, take it to the Lord in prayer. It's not an easy fight.

I would further caution anyone that sees that "one frame" that exists in MANY films. There are 20,000 other frames.

I understand, I’m heading towards that destination of not having tv. Myself personally I’ve reduced my viewing by perhaps near 75% over the last year. I used to binge watch terrible shows along with the family all the time. Wouldn’t be out of the ordinary to spend 4-6 hours watching tv in the evening and early mornings . I’d absorb hours of local and national news. I can’t do it anymore. Wife had her shows, I had mine. Neither of us could really stand the shows the other liked to watch and one or the other of us would go find busy work to do elsewhere in the house while the other watches tv so I can’t say ive lost any healthy family time together. I’m practicing what is called benevolent detachment from that stuff by Gods grace . Wife on the other hand, she is still very much into binge watching things like (the office) ( murder mystery reruns) etc. she allows my son to binge his shows.
I’m a 90s kid and Power Rangers was beginning to be a thing back then. Well I bumped into the old original (terrible) quality original Power rangers on Amazon prime last week and watched one episode with My son thought it was neat, ok that’s a cool thing that doset happen too often,the show I liked as a child his age he liked as well… kinda had a nostalgic daddy moment. But now…. when I’m coming home I’m finding my wife allowing him to binge watch it…. So My cool daddy/son moment is Not so cool now and created a binge watching problem . About the time I put one fire out on this stuff another one pops up. Leaning heavy on Gods grace with it because I’m not sure what to do. But yes I agree they absolutely are NOT necessary and I think the shows on them became idolatry for me.

Sorry I didn't get back to you very quick. I feel like it's a long process for most people to follow the Lord in this area.

I'll think about sharing my personal history with films because that might be beneficial for some but for me it's difficult.

My view has developed over the the last 7 years or so and it's not like it happened overnight so I don't really want to just put forward the whole "stack" of all the insights that I've gained because I feel like it's overload for the most part.

I will say that I've gorged deeply on films and yet always (since I was a child) felt conviction about it. I'm not sure that most people put themselves inside the movies the way that I do and have what I would call a "filmographic" memory. They "seed" in my mind in a way that nothing else really does and can be coupled with sin in a way that I don't know of anything that really can besides maybe dreaming. I don't want to get into that much other than to say that they compliment MANY sinful states and one might wonder why that is.

I suppose part of me (and this part I'm uncertain about) doesn't want to "ruin" movies for people as they are ruined for me. I guess because I feel like God may operate within them on some level and that is part of a person's walk and I don't want to cheat anyone out of him working in his timing and somehow benefit the enemy in condemnation, etc.




Anyway, this is requiring a bit more out of me than I planned but I encourage you to just keep praying and be mindful about becoming pharasaical or judgemental in any way...for me that is something to guard against because the enemy seems to take to a different tactic.

Look for little openings and use those. It used to irritate me greatly when my parents would ask "what did I watch" and I didn't want to tell them for guilt or because I wanted to keep it private. Maybe try to start a dialogue about a particular show that you are familiar with without encouraging someone in fandom. Fine line really.

So like you mentioned Power rangers. What did you (your son) like about this particular episode? What is your favorite character? Why? Do you see any parallels to biblically moral principles? I personally would couch that last if someone weren't obviously receptive.

The goal would be to stimulate thought instead of someone just "zoning out" or becoming a "zombie" in front of a TV set. Where are they zoning out to?

If they don't want to talk...why not? Pay close attention to any working the Lord is doing in casting it down...sometimes it's really subtle.

Why does a person want to be private about it?

People are similar with sermons though. "How was the service on sunday?" ...."it was good". "oh, it was an hour long, maybe a few more words on it?" "What did you think of when he talked about this?" It's uh...a challenge sometimes to do that but you can also do it with films in order to make use of the time potentially. These are just suggestions though, I don't know your child and I don't really you know you either. Could be that little of this is useful but pray about it and if I can help further let me know.


I don't know what will work for you or how far God wants you to go. Balance and being choosy with what you watch is a good place to work from. There are a lot of ways that I navigate the psychology of it but it's too much for me to type right now.

It's a hard fight like I said, everyone fights it differently and some things may be totally unnecessary to understand. We don't need to know everything about evil in order to war against it. Some people only need to know that a thing is wrong or is leaning toward idolatry in order to make changes...others want the reasons for turning made exceedingly clear. I think God blesses the former though and the latter is about submission which transcends to every facet of life with our wills and is a MUCH harder fight for me personally.

Commonsense media rated Encanto quite highly.

I know theyve rated books/movies like Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Captain Underpants quite low. When Jeff Kinney and Dav Pilkey, the authors, were questioned about this (everyones a critic!) well, I think the sales of their books tell them that children themselves like what they are producing. Plus, children can relate to flawed anti-heroes who dont know everything.

If its just a generation gap thing (oh no, children like NEW stories Ive never heard of!) I think parents really need to get over this hurdle and stop living in a timewarp. Childhood has not stopped after they grew up.

I Completely forgot how children’s imaginations works with this stuff and they don’t focus on the little nuances like my adult brain does.

and yet you don't think it still affects them subconsciously?

I see the problem yet when I check myself against other people I can’t stay firm on my convictions with it.

sorry Mowgli...it wasnt Tarzan...that was a different story.

In the bible, there is a story about the witch of endor. Very brief but she does play a part in Gods narriative.

Roald Dahls book, the Witches was basically remade into an american film recently
Of course the witches are horrible in that one and the hero is a boy who gets turned into a mouse.

Theres also, before even Harry Potter, the popular classic film The wizard of Oz.

so its not likely you are going to ever escape children fantasy stories that feature witchcraft and wizardry. They are everywhere, even in Narnia.

BUT if you have. firm grounding in the Word I would not worry so much about other fiction.
I cannot dictate to children what I would like them to read. If a boy likes captain underpants and thats the only book that they can read or want to read...well its a a start, They are not going to read captain underpants forever. Am I going to object because I personally believe superheroes need to wear their undies on the inside?
