Here we are at the beginning of the Holiday “season.” All parents know that these breaks bring with them pleas from children for some extra time in front of what my priest refers to as “the magic lantern” and my husband calls “the devil box.” There is truth in each of these labels, but most Moms call it ”an hour and a half of peace and quiet to get a few things done.”
Yes, I am speaking of the television. While it can be argued that watching TV is an inferior way to spend time, it does play a role in the lives of most — OK, pretty much all — families. I would argue that not all TV viewing is the same. Movies, because of the absence of commercials, are far superior to anything that you can find channel surfing. Commercial free-PBS is not much better. While it does not show many product commercials, it is often worse than network or cable television due to the obnoxious amount of politically correct messages and indoctrination into the leftist agenda by puppets and cartoon characters. Movies, if they are any good, have the ability to hold a child’s uninterrupted attention and convey a message in tact.
So, what children watch does make a difference. For example, does anyone want their daughters learning teen morality from Hannah Montana or her evil twin Miley Cyrus? Since we will sit our kids in front of the TV at some point, I have compiled a list of the top ten kid’s movies with hidden conservative messages.

I am David is a great movie. Too bad it bombed in the box office.
I know some hate it, but the Harry Potter movies are loaded with conservatism. Old fashioned family values, where people mistrust a powerful government and instead count on friends and family for the help they need. The overreaching intrusiveness of government and power. The fifth book is huge for the second amendment.
I am of the opinion that all those kids that read Harry Potter are going to be ripe for conservative ideals.

I just watched 1984 with the teenagers last night. That made them pucker.
One that makes my list is Shiloh:

Michael Moriarty is just excellent in his part.
“Kung Fu Panda” The lesson of the magic scroll is the same one the noodle shop owning adopted father tells. There is no magic ingredient,
I like the treatment of good an evil, at least in the first Harry Potter film. I think I agree with you. :)
Another unintentional conservative movie is the Star Wars movies especially III and IV, even though I knew that in III George Lucas wanted it to be allegory for the EEEVVVILLL Bush, but the Clone Wars, Palpatine’s rise to Power and the oppressive Empire are all tricks that LEFTISTS use. In episode IV their is a deleted scene where one of Luke Skywalkers friends talk about the Nationalization of Commerce and how that will drive his uncle out of business.
How isn’t “The Incredibles” #1?
And I contend that all who know the background of Harry Potter should run as far away as possible from this satanistic programming. Conservative values? No, more like witchcraft, which the Bible forbids.
The woman who wrote the series is involved in the occult. Please don’t suggest this crap to families.
Teaches that actions have consequences, hard work does get you somewhere, and respect is earned. Also teaches that the world doesn't give anything to you just because you show up and want it.
The Lion King may be about monarchy, but it does a great job of showing how bad a selfish, unresponsive, and incompetent regime can be for the overall health of a nation.
The Lion King has powerful conservative themes.
Scar, the bad lion, tells Simba “Truth is in the eye of the beholder” during the climax of the movie. This statement of relativism is clearly portrayed as wrong.
Also, the resolution to the problem in the storyline is that Simba has to grow up and face responsibility.
In general, the ideas in the movie are contrary to notions of egalitarianism.
Good point about the Lion King, to me an the attempt to bring the hyenas in as a partner is an allegory about Communism, where they try to give the lower class masses the illusion of power, in order to use them to achieve their aims.
How did Mary Poppins get on there? She’s a witch and she made the hard-working father into a goof-off who shirked his job at the end of the movie.
A better choice would be The Sound of Music.
Kiki’s Delivery Service
““Kung Fu Panda” The lesson of the magic scroll is the same one the noodle shop owning adopted father tells. There is no magic ingredient,”
The Chinese really liked this movie and then complained how their own film industry can’t produce anything that good.
It’s kind of a paradox. They’ve moved towards capitalism, but are still a socialist nation that can’t make a decent movie, while we’ve moved towards socialism but are still a capitalist nation that can make great movies.
The Thunderbolt
Harry Potter is well known for his thunderbolt scar on his forehead. The scar is described as: “...a curiously shaped cut, like a bolt of lightning.” (Philosopher’s Stone, p. 17). As Harry grows older he eventually learns that the scar on his forehead came as the result of a powerful evil curses from the evil dark wizard, Voldemort (Philosopher’s Stone, p. 45).
The startling thing about the thunderbolt, is that it is often used in occultic imagery, especially in Satanism. Anton Szandor Lavey, the founder of the Church of Satan, often wore a medallion of an inverted pentagram with a thunderbolt through the centre of it. Thunderbolts also appeared as the ss symbol of Hitler’s special forces (bearing in mind that Hitler was into the occult), and in various Heavy Metal and Death Metal bands.
People need to dig very deep into what this series of books and movies is really about. It has nothing to do with conservative values, and everything to do with the occult.
