This movie Killed me

No joke.
Kids made me Netflix it with them.

Its stupid, and tacky as hell...

But when that little girl started singing at the end of Act 2, I fucking lost it.


Should I be concerned?

haha, your testosterone is dropping.
People say they all want the truth, but when they are confronted with a truth that disagrees with them, they balk at it as if it were an unwanted zombie apocalypse come to destroy civilization.

^ No, that movie is honorable, a legit tale. I read the book to my daughter when she was young but she doesn't remember

But 'Santa Paws' is Disney trash, I shouldn't have been manipulated so easy, lol

I am actually a pretty bad sucker for movies I have to admit, if they play the right themes with the right timing I usually buckle. But talking dog movies are embarrassing lol


Was interesting though, my daughter noticed the words XMAS around in the movie, and asked what that means. I told her it was short for christmas, and that some christians take offense to it because it takes 'christ' out of it. I predicted that as a Disney movie you wouldn't see any religious themes in it... I explained that often you will see a Christmas about spiritual and religious themes turn into an Xmas about capitalist and material themes (Santa, etc).

- but soon sure enough, there was soon several visible CHRISTMAS spellings.

My daughter jabbed me; "See?" lol

Then I was proven wrong again, as the song I referred to in the OP was 'O Holy Night'.
Rocked my world.

^^ The animation on Donald Duck's HAT in that gif is amazing, lol

what is that, like 8 frames at best
hilarious

I won't deny Disney has no shortage in its history of wonderful art and master storytelling

Some things about it are just weird though. Look at the other media networks Disney owns/is partners with etc and the politics of that content. I think its naive to think that Disney runs creatively independently than the rest, and that such politics wouldn't also be infused in the Disney dept. Think of how many kids you can target, year after year. You can shape entire generations.

That is power I frankly doubt is not being taken advantage of.
