How Disney Uses Religion | A Video Essay

Disney has represented Religion many many times over its course as a film company, but sometimes they don't quite get it right...
Let's explore the history of exactly how Disney uses religion and why.

Also... I caught the mistake in the title screen literally 2 minutes before this video uploaded to YouTube. I was not going to throw away 40 minutes of waiting. sorry...

The Hunchback of Notre Dame is one of the most complex novels ever written. This is the how the book ends and be warned it is shocking. Quasimodo gazes off into the distance, he sees the figure of La Esmerelda in a white dress hanging from the scaffold. He bellows out in despair and grabs Frollo by the neck. Holding him up in the air, Quasimodo sighs with grief and then throws Frollo down to his death. Looking at La Esmerelda hanging off in the distance and Frollo's wrangled corpse down below, Quasimodo cries out: "There is everything I ever loved!" Quasimodo is never seen again. Years later when a gravedigger stumbles across La Esmerelda's remains, he finds the skeleton of a hunchback curled around her. Religion in the book is part of the problem, not the cure. It is a complex novel and I am amazed Disney even tried to bring it to the screen. Follo's song Hell Fire is brilliantly done.

I like this positive view of Disney movies. I seen too many videos that Disney movies are on the occult.

There are so many times throughout watching this video when I’m just like: “wait woah, back that up, you need a citation. WHERE ARE THE CITATIONS. Where is the research coming from?”

How about the Aladdin live action remake where the main characters got married in a white Christian style instead of Middle Eastern Islamic style?
