Propaganda aimed at Children

Rating: Null/10 (27 May 2011)

***** CONTAINS SPOILERS *****
The people who made this are pushing a lot of their beliefs in this movie. The movie is very political in nature. It comments on such controversial issues as gun control, hunting, animal rights and science versus religion.
There is a scene in the movie where the characters attempts to sacrifice a person (and it is a person that is being portrayed here, even if the character's appearance is that of an animal) to God because the lake that they drink from has dried up. This scene was nonsensical anti-religious propaganda. It tries to set up a false conflict between science and religion. While the attempted religious sacrifice fails, the lion character goes and unclogs a "pipe" that was blocking the water. In the end, the religious people look like fools for trying to ask God for help when there was clearly a scientific solution to the problem.
The people who wrote this movie understand nothing about the relationship between God and man. If the lion character had an inspiration to unclog the pipe then it was God who put that inspiration in his head. The ordinary way God does things is by working through human beings, not miracles. Anyway, I'm not going to get into theology here. What disturbs me is that so much of the propaganda in this film is being aimed at children, and most parents don't even realize it.
