While many books have been written about the Disney media machine, this book is the first to chronicle and document the Disney Company's trends and tendencies--even policies and agenda--in the light of the Bible.
Being a mom and grandma, I am often shocked by what my grandkids have access to compared to what my sons had. There is a lot of innuendo in cartoons, Disney animation included, that I find unnecessary. I sat through countless cartoons or movies and was never disappointed in the fact that there wasn't innuendo to keep me entertained. I found the topic interesting. Then I opened the book. Gaston, from Beauty and the Beast, acts too much like a gay man when he talks about decorating with antlers. Scar's manner of speech and hand gestures, are seen as homosexual. I know quite a few men/metrosexuals who have effeminate ways about them, who are straight. The priest on Little Mermaid has an erection during the marriage ceremony. It looks like knee knobs to me!! Even Bambi takes a hit. When Flower the skunk receives his kiss apparently his whole body is an erection. Who knew? The writer and his helpers examined frame after frame while watching some of Disney's films. This didnt seem like investigatory, it was more like an inquisition. I still feel that children are exposed to things at far too young an age, but this book isn't really helpful. The author set out to look for sins, innuendo, sublimity, anything else anti-bible/christian and found it because that's all he was looking for.

I read this book after reading CHAOS by Tom O'Neil & Hollywood Babylon by Kenneth Anger. This was the perfect book to read next. It fell in line with everything I've already read and known about Disney. It was eye opening on somethings. If you want to know the truth about Disney, read this book.
Honestamente no estoy segura si es una especie de versión resumida de "Rompiendo el hechizo de Disney" o si realmente hay dos libros con diferentes autores con el mismo contenido. No tiene siquiera algo nuevo, es exactamente lo mismo que presenta Martín Careaga en el libro que mencioné anteriormente. Realmente recomendaría que, a todos los interesados en este tema, lean la obra de Careaga que se encuentra más completa, y contiene imágenes y ejemplos que ilustran mejor la mirada del autor.
I, personally, found this to be a hilarious read. However, I disagree with a lot that the writer had to say about Disney, it has almost as though he only wrote the book to make a quick buck instead of to 'enlighten' anyone of anything of any importance.
Con pocos datos interesantes sobre el imperio de Disney, todo está basado en especulaciones y tiene una cristiana insoportable. Léalo bajo su propio riesgo.
