The Gospel According to Disney: Christian Values in the Early Animated Classics

Summary: The irony is that Disney was not a Christian....
Review: The irony of this book is that the author, and the readers, have completely misinterpreted the intentions of Walt Disney. Disney entertainment was never intended to "promote the ideas of Jesus Christ" it was intended to present an alternative to the Bible as a source of morality.

Disney used pagan imagery and stories to present stories of moral guidance that of course have much in common with stories in the Bible because the they are parables used to teach a moral lesson.

So, I just find it ironic, that Walt Disney, who was not a Christian and who intended to present an alternative to Christian based morality by providing non-Christian moral stories, is being hailed as a promoter of the Gospels. His whole point was to show that Chrisitians don't have a monopoly on morality.
