She hired a witch to make a potion to poison her Mom, in an attempt to avoid an arranged marriage. I felt like the princess came across as unsympathetic and quite frankly, sinister.

It didn’t do too well in theaters (compared to other Disney Pixar films) and I don’t think the toys sold well either.

Toy story can give little kids nightmares. But the tropes of facistprogressivism (I think I have just coined a word) are woven throughout the new stuff.

Give me road runner or bugs bunny. Beep Beep.

Finding Nemo was adorable!

Also, I liked the movie from last year (I don’t think it was Pixar though), Wreck it Ralph. That was adorable as well.

If I had little kids, though, I’d be wary of Disney. I’m a bit oblivious, but even I can notice their blatant marketing ploys. Lots of irrelevant plot-devices that serve no function besides being a tie-in toy. Magic wand/necklace/enchanted jewelry box. & don’t forget the soundtrack!

But, we can blame George Lucas and Star Wars action figures, for the push for tie-in toys.

I think if you don’t cook for young men, they won’t eat well. Especially not guys in difficult science classes! (When I was hospitalized for an autoimmune liver failure complication a few years ago, I used to seek out the medical school students ’cause they always had the lowdown on the good Hospital vending machines. There was this one machine on the third floor with chocolate pudding).

There was also the rumors about hidden phalluses on the Little Mermaid DVD cover, which triggered a similar outrage.

“SSM agrees with you”

No she doesn’t – she thinks Elsa froze her country on purpose and expected men to fix it. Elsa made the storm, but she wasn’t smart enough to realize the valley below would be effected (like I said before, rather dull for a Disney princess). & technically she was saved by a stone troll; IDK if that qualifies as a man. She also didn’t want anyone to save her – she just wanted to stop accidentally freezing people.

Too bad Elsa didn’t like in the Adventuretime World; she could’ve married the Snow King (he is looking for a Queen, lol).

Protien increases concentration and doing that is ethical: neuromodulating his biochemistry to make him smarter (yes, I know what compounds could work) is not.

being some crazy plot to force women into domestic servitude? Example A: http://www.amazon.com/Cinderella-Ate-Daughter-Dispatches-Girlie-Girl/dp/0061711535

I think if American Christians spent more time thinking about Jesus’s
teachings and being decent people, instead of inventing new outlandish
boogie-men to fear (evil Care Bears, manhating Disney Princesses) –
American Christianity wouldn’t be the laughing stock that it is today. I
come from a generation of young adults that were constantly told the
above nonsense. Unsurprisingly, Millennials are abandoning the church
and think Jesus is a weak God and generally have a poor grasp of the
gospel.

I saw the movie and agree with both you and SSM. Oh, and the gay couple? Can’t tell from the .5 second the other dude is on the screen… he’s behind a steamy window in a sauna. -eyeroll-
