The author said that Disney has give an implied messages to corrupts children such as racial stereotypes, everything is fluffy, satanic imagery, beauty is moral, ugliness is immoral, importance of social status, sexual harassment is acceptable, subliminal messaging, extreme thinness, and historical inaccuracies.

According to the anonymous author, "...visible evidence exist which suggest Disney uses subtle themes of Satanism in their films." What the meaning of 'themes of Satanism ' here? Satanism is type casted by the media along with witchcraft and paganism, as something evil to be hated and feared whereas satanism does not promote violence, animal sacrifice or racial hatred in any manner. Satan keeps the church in business (MoonRat, 2004). So, when the author say that Disney has give a satanic imagery, i think that is contradictory with the meaning of satanism. Because Disney doesn 't make any character is totally like Satan. The author said that the beast from "Beauty and The Beast" is describe how Satan looks like. I think that is not true, because the beast from "Beauty and The Beast" has a kind heart. So, that will disprove the author 's statement about …show more content…

Dr Holmes also said that in the "Let It Go" song, Elsa talk about the pressures being the perfect and there is been a long history about anorexia developing as 'perfect ' girls and that is associated with societal and parental pressures. "They were saying things like 'Omg I identified so much with girl and her desire to not have to be the perfect girl and not be the good girl that you always have to be '", said Dr. Holmes. Bases on Dr Homles 's statement, the disney princess is not always describe an anorexia or eating disorder. Elsa, the princess from "Frozen" movie can make a woman more confident with

Like with most fictional Disney characters, Queen Elsa’s, powers are both a gift and a curse, and they are the epitome of Elsa’s being; without her “gift” she would not be the character that represents the overall theme of overcoming such intrapersonal turmoil.
