    • When I was young I was never too fond of Mary Poppins (I liked some of the music but I did not like the film very much) and I really disliked Alice in Wonderland.

    There is definitely something inimical to Catholicism in the atmosphere those movies create.

    • I like them all, and still do, but I always hated the circus, clowns, and Halloween.

    Oh, come on!  I wish Mary Poppins was the worst ting we had to worry about.  


    You may not care that Mary Poppins is part of the occult, but we care. Perhaps you don't care if something is part of the occult or not, if you like something you won't stop liking it regardless. I can't speak for what you believe, but you should care if something is occultic.


    I do care if something is actually a part of the occult.  This is a harmless kid's move.

    • SpiritusSanctus, you are right to question Mary Poppins. How can we think and occultist will write something that is any good for us? And, Disney's spoon fool of sugar version still  had occult aspects.

    • And to think we were so naive in the sixties to think that Uncle Walt only wanted to entertain us.....shame on us!   :sad:

    • Very interesting points Raoul, and your description of Julie Andrews is spot on. Doris Day is a similar type.

    Although I think "Disney" should be distinguished from the "Walt Disney" company. Wasn't he a Catholic? I think his company went downhill after his death.

    I had a similar memory of Mary Poppins to Elizabeth and Dulcamara. I saw it when I was a kid and she always gave me the creeps. I can sooner believe she was meant to signify the devil than any angel.

    I read a book called Trance Formation of America, and though I question how seriously the book should be taken, the mind controlled slaves would watch Wizard of Oz to reinforce their programming. Supposedly that film is full of the occult.

    The question is whether it is good or bad, not whether there are worse things.

    Try to think.

    • Great response, Dulcamara. I agree completely. BTW, are you japanese? I remember in an earlier thread someone asking you about japan.

    I never heard anything about him being Catholic. Even if he was, he would have been a CINO Catholic, Catholic in name-only. I know Disney was a 33 degree freemason, which therefore excluded him from the Catholic Church.

    I wouldn't be all that surprised if the Wizard of Oz was an occultic movie. Something about it seemed occultic.

    You mean movie right? And it isn't harmless. The movie may be clean of occultic stuff for the most part, but the books aren't and besides the movie was originally written to be occultic just like the book.

    • Wow, I didn't know he was a Mason. And you're correct, he is not a Catholic:

    Quote
    The Religious Affiliation of Filmmaker
    Walt Disney

    Walt Disney was born into and raised in a family of devout Congregationalists. Walt was named after the preacher at his family's Congregationalist church: Walter Parr, a close friend of his father's. [Source: Bob Thomas, Walt Disney: An American Original, Hyperion: New York, NY (1994), pages 24-25]

    From "Walt Disney on Faith, Church, Bible Study, Prayer & God" on Disney Dreamer website (v. 29 April 2005):

        ...I am personally thankful that my parents taught me at a very early age to have a strong personal belief and reliance in the power of prayer for Divine inspiration. My people were members of the Congregational Church in our home town of Marceline, Missouri. It was there where I was first taught the efficacy of religion... how it helps us immeasurably to meet the trial and stress of life and keeps us attuned to the Divine inspiration... Deeds rather than words express my concept of the part religion should play in everyday life. I have watched constantly that in our movie work the highest moral and spiritual standards are upheld, whether it deals with fable or with stories of living action. This religious concern for the form and content of our films goes back 40 years to the rugged financial period in Kansas City when I was struggling to establish a film company and produce animated fairy tales. Many times during those difficult years, even as we turned out Alice in Cartoonland and later in Hollywood the first Mickey Mouse, we were under pressure to sell out or debase the subject matter or go "commercial" in one way or another. But we stuck it out... Both my study of Scripture and my career in entertaining children have taught me to cherish them... Thus, whatever success I have had in bringing clean, informative entertainment to people of all ages, I attribute in great part to my Congregational upbringing and my lifelong habit of prayer...

        [Quoted from Roland Gammon's book] Faith is a Star, New York E. P. Dutton & Co. 1963. Roland Gammon went on a search of famous people for content on his 1963 book about prayer... Walt Disney wrote the article above for this publication. Walt Disney held deep personal beliefs. Elias Disney (Walt's Dad) was a deacon and named Walt after the family minister Walter Parr. (St. Paul Congregational Church in Chicago) Walt's brother Herbert had a daughter named Dorothy and she married a minister, Glenn Puder. It was at Walt's request that the Reverend Puder delivered the invocation at Disneyland's grand opening on July 17, 1955. Represented at the dedication were Catholic, Jєωιѕн and Protestant faiths.

    From: Ronald Bergan, Sergei Eisenstein: A Life in Conflict, The Overlook Press/Peter Mayer Publishers, Inc.: Woodstock, New York (1999), page 198:

        As late as 1946, [Sergei] Eisenstein noted Disney 'as an example of the art of absolute influence -- absolute appeal for each and everyone, and hence a particularly rich treasure trove of the most basic means of influence.'

        ...Eisenstein and the twenty-nine-year-old [Walt] Disney seemed to have got on well, and they corresponded for some time afterwards. (There is another photo taken at the same time, with Eisenstein standing, his arm around Disney's shoulders, staring down at the figure of Mickey Mouse.) Eisenstein did not live long enough to discover that Disney later became an anti-Semitic, racist, union-bashing, anti-Communist right-winger.
