[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent I would be annoyed if a teacher showed this movie unless it were a rainy day during lunch or the last day of school or maybe even if there were a substitute. The teacher claims:

“Barbee said the movie focuses on humans' relationship to the environment, which was why she chose to show it to her class after a section on ecosystems, plants and animals.”

There are so many amazing Natgeo documentaries on Disney+ it’s ridiculous the teacher wasted time showing this movie. It is not based on a novel the students read either. She sounds like a lazy teacher. And not too bright if she works in Florida and thought no one would complain. If you go to common sense media there are a bunch of complaints from wacky parents.

Good lord you sound like a scrooge. The kids had just taken a standardized test. It's a Disney film for crissake.  Lighten up.[/quote]

Just because it is disney, doesn't mean there isn't a message.

Old disney movie, gay implied characters are evil characters.  The Lion King uncle lion, little mermaid sea witch, evil vizer in aladdin, Robin Hood prince John lion etc. All over the top campy characters.

On other hand, Disney movies say ignore parents,  they know nothing (but parent's turn out ot be correct) so subsersive in another direction.

Also, more recently, very pro LGBT messaging.

We think disney ok, but may or may not agree with the values of some people.[/quote]
