Princess & The Frog

So, Joe and I sat down and watched Princess and The Frog a few nights ago. I want to think that Disney had all the right intentions when they decided to write and produce this movie of an African-American Princess. However, I know the source of evil and I know that his plans can even be interwoven into movies such as these. Matthew 13:25-But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.So, to name a few of a million issues with the movie: I will. And I will say one or two positive things about this movie as well.

For those of you who don't know. TP&TF's setting is in Louisana during the late 1800s or early 1900s. The first scene is in the house of a rich white family, where the mother is the caretaker/maid/seamstress for the family. Her daughter and the rich man's little girl are friends and grow up together. There is such a contrast in this scene. Although we know Tiana is the princess in and of this movie, there are so many arrows pointing to her friend as a princess - lifestyle, etc.

Late at night, the Tiana and her mother leaves the big mansion and nice neighborhood- riding the bus(public transportation) looking out the window panning the changes in the neighborhood scenes; from glamorous to not so glamorous. This is where Tiana and her mother lives. QUESTION: Do all african-american children have to have a rags to riches story? There are plenty who do not.

THE PRINCE: Lord knows I love my brazilian, latino, chicano, mexican families!!!!!! I do find it quite ODD that the prince in this movie was hispanic- however, LA is close to Texas....Lol!!! Since  this ODD to me, why not go ALL OUT  and make the prince African American? Sort of like an innocent....clean.... Coming to America story for kids, with a twist!LoL!!!! There could be many underlying messages, one that sticks out like rudolph's red nose- lack of respect or confidence in the African American male. If that is not the case, then fine, I will accept that it is not. But why rob the African American little girls of a dream of marry a loving, handsome, good to do and go African american man? The image of AA males are so negative- this could have boosted respect for them and the ones growing up today. Ok, enough of that. Oh I will point out the beautiful love story between Tiana's parents!!! Now that was nice even though it was over so quickly.

THE MAIN ISSUE:

VuDOO: Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Much to be said on this. The witch doctor. Witchcraft can be found in almost all princess movies from disney. ...evil stepmothers, or stepsisters, etc. etc. etc.
However, in this movie the Devil, himself is in it! The step by step practice of witchcraft is so open in this movie... I am sure that so of th children who watched this movie could leave the movie theatre knowing how to call on the graven images, sacrifices and seances.

Leviticu 26:1

 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.

  (I.e. the pinning of the doll and the acutal graven image)These were practiced and shown throughout the movie and evil crossed the line of make believe, into homes, and the imagination of many children, in which our future(next generation) resides. It was so HEAVY and IN YOUR FACE.
My husband said that the howling and screaching was so intense- he said his spirit recognized the spirit and he knew that this was real... whether the writers did or didn't. This was not pretend or make believe. He said it scared him.

1 John 4:6

We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

The witch doctor was dragged to  hell at the end! kudos!

Revelation 21:8

But cowards who turn away from me, and unbelievers, and the corrupt, and murderers, and the immoral, and those who practice witchcraft, and idol worshipers, and all liars--their doom is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death."

Galatians 5:19-21

The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discor I will destroy your carved images and your sacred stones from among you;
you will no longer bow down to the work of your hands.d, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions ²¹and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Deut.18:10
"There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices witchcraft, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer,

The Relationship
This is where I say the nice stuff. The relationship between the FROGS was great. A wonderful story of love. If all the other CRAP(Crazy, Ridiculus, Against God, and Pointless) was left out of the movie- it wouldn't been nice. Who would of thunk it? F.R.O.G.s! Fully Relying On God!

That's all for now...
