I think it's better to keep religion out of a Disney movie. It serves no purpose in a kids movie

I always heard that Disney had a problem with Jews for some reason?

I think people should just worry about themselves instead of what others choose to believe or put in movies.

No need to force religion, no need to go against it.

No, Disney is for money which means its going to try and not offend or rile up religious peoples or non religious peoples if it can help it, and squeeze money out of both. The controversies/criticisms section in Wikipedia has some notes about certain religious groups, but those groups do not speak for all religious organizations and groups, and remember some religious groups/individuals believe Harry Potter is sinful and blasphemous for its depiction of warlocks who should burn in hell. So with as loose as criteria as that then everything including religion is against religion.

I definitely see how Dogma would offend Christians; that's the one of the two mentioned that I've seen. However, I didn't know that Disney was associated with Dogma and had taken a political position on a controversy issue such as the issue that Wiki referenced. I thought of Disney as sort of specialized in it's own niche of nursery rhymes that only recently tried to expand out with Marvel comics and Star Wars.

Spoilers. Dogma has a creature made of feces running about, Wisconsin is worse than hell according to God, and God is played by a Canadian woman. It also has Ben Affleck and Matt Damon in it. I can definitely see how Americans, men, people from Wisconsin and people who are adverse to toilet humor and c%^p, and people who are adverse to seeing Ben Affleck and Matt Damon chum it up on screen would be offended as well. Then again, given how many Christians there are… funnily enough Dogma was also written and directed by a Catholic.

I don't think so. Disney movies don't really seem to be for or against religion.

Why would you add in religious themes to movies dealing with children's stories? There's more than one religion in the world and children are highly impressionable. Doing so would be a PR disaster for Disney, unless they're okay with cutting their demographic from all families, to the families of a particular faith.

More important, why do people care about a corporation's religion?
