I had put off seeing this until recently, when some friends forced me to watch it, refusing to believe that I had not seen it in over fifty years of movie watching. I figured it would be pretty sappy, but I found that there is some substance to it after all.
Traveling to a magic and colorful land might be exciting, fun, and interesting, but for most of us I think it's the daily experiences that give us our stability and satisfactions. Turning to an all-powerful being to solve our problems is a misguided effort--that god will be exposed as a sham. We had best turn to ourselves to make our way in this world.
