Is Disney harming?

Disney is great for kids, it helps their imagination grow and it is entertaining. Yes, it has violence and romance in it but so does everything else, so no disney is not harmful to children. Anime is not bad either because like i said everything nowadays contains violence and romance.

I agree. :D
Depending on the age.

Bet you didn't expect that. Or maybe you did. lol

I don't see anything wrong with Disney. If there is anything harmful, only adults or teenagers would catch it, if they are paying enough attention to catch it at all. If children have no prior knowledge to that 'subject matter', they won't notice anything potentially 'harmful.'

Um, yeah, the rating thing. If it's PG-13, there's a reason, especially if it is Disney. Perfect example, Pirates of the Caribbean. 'Eunuch' is mentioned more than once and if anyone knows what that is, it's obviously not appropriate for children. EVEN SO, what child is going to know what a eunuch is anyway?

Okay, I'm done .^_^.

Disney, huh? Is it bad for kids? I have no idea. I was raised on Disney... and look at me! I punch children for fun!

I don't like Disney all that much.

Grumble grumble ... Oops!

Mea Culpa time... I stand corrected.... Still Chronicles of Narnia is a powerful work of literature that can stand as a equal against 'The Lord of the Rings'...

I know which website you are talking about, the link you posted isn't working though.

I think the penis on the cover one can really be debated too. Not that it was drawn by a disgruntled artist, but it really does look like a dick.
