Why You Should Not Take Your Children to See Frozen 2

You read that heading right; you should not take your children (or little brothers and sisters or even yourself) to see Frozen 2.  Let me explain why:

It Is Filled with Paganism

Frozen 2 begins with the kingdom of Arendelle being attacked by “spirits”.  These spirits are explained to “be” air, earth, fire, and water and are embodied by likable and even adorable creatures, some of which are tamed and befriended by Elsa.  The elemental spirits are enraged when Elsa’s grandfather, King Runeard, attacks the tribe of Northuldra and consequently the spirits create an impenetrable wall of mist around the country of Northuldra.

The fact that paganistic nature deities are included as a main part of Frozen 2 should put every parent on edge.  This alone should cause them to shield their ever-impressionable children from such exposure to the idea that there are elemental spirits that influence and even control our world.  Children should be taught that God and only God controls nature and that nothing can be done without His knowledge and assent.

Talking with and Conjuring up Spirits is Portrayed as Good and Even Necessary

In the beginning of the movie, Elsa continuously hears a mysterious siren song.   This song “leads” her to discover her true self.  She makes this discovery by commanding a spirit to show itself.

This last sentence is very concerning because it can teach children that conjuring up spirits is good and often essential to discover important things.  Children should be taught that summoning demons, or in this case, as they are called, “spirits”, is evil and always wrong.

Continuing…

Elsa learns that she is actually the fifth spirit of the forest who connects the other four.

Woah, there.

Elsa having a “spirit” inside her that calls to her is very disconcerting.  It almost gives the appearance of possession.  While Elsa still appears to have custody of her mind and body, she has no control over when the “secret siren” calls to her.  This is very scary and, again, teaches children that possession is not an evil to be avoided but rather an alluring and even empowering attribute.

Elsa is also allowed a glimpse into the past at a “river of memory” where she receives answers to some of her questions.  Again, this is very dangerous as it teaches that sorcery is a good thing.

Finally, when Elsa is frozen for a time and her powers extinguished, Olaf the snowman dies.  As he is connected to Elsa’s magical powers, when Elsa saves Arendelle, the magic likewise resurrects Olaf to life.  This is another small but, in a sense, not-so-small power Elsa has over life and death.

Indigenous Cultures Are Oppressed By An Old White Guy

Oh, Disney, you just couldn’t pass this one up, could you?  Elsa’s grandfather, the former king, Runeard, at one point establishes a treaty with the tribe (note the use of that word) of Northuldra and builds a dam on their homeland.  However, King Runeard’s real reason for building the dam is to deplete Northuldra’s resources because the king dislikes the tribe’s connection with magic.  King Runeard initiates a war with the tribe of Northuldra by killing its leader, and King Runeard himself is eventually also killed.

This really speaks for itself; the old bad white king hates anything to do with magic connected to the earth and thus tries to rid the world of a tribe who is connected to nature worship.  Why, oh, why does Disney have to throw in racial problems, and what I really can’t stand is that Disney is teaching that anyone who opposes nature worship is at best an outdated, prejudiced individual who really doesn’t deserve anything less than elimination.

Reparations to Oppressed Cultures Is a Must

To save the day, Anna discovers that she must destroy the dam and thereby allow Arendelle to be destroyed (Arendelle does end up being saved from destruction in the end).  The reason this must be done is to “appease” the spirits and to atone for her grandfather’s transgressions against the Northuldra.

This side of the movie attests that reparations for the sins of past ancestors must be enacted, even at the possibility of death.  I mean, how liberal-minded can Disney get?!

Civilization is Bad

Ultimately, the Northuldran tribe is shown as superior to the civilization of Arendelle.  The tribe of Northuldra wants only justice and adheres to the desires of the spirits of the forest (supposedly a good thing).  The people of Arendelle, at least in the past, are in turn the aggressors and build “civilized” dams that hurt the poor indigenous people.  If Disney was trying to make Western Civilization look bad, it sure did a good job.

Elsa Is Not Dressed Modestly

A lot of people are not going to agree with me on this point, but I nevertheless feel compelled to bring it up: Elsa’s dresses are not modest.  It was the same in the first Frozen movie, and it is still a problem in the second.  The main image I have seen of one of Elsa’s dresses in the movie shows the dress not even covering her shoulders.  This can easily affect little ones’ minds into thinking that way of dress is “attractive” and “cool”.

Do NOT Take Your Children to See Frozen 2

I know it can be hard for your little ones to be the seemingly “only ones” not to see the new Frozen movie.  Among my little sisters’ friends, they are almost the only ones who are not going to see it.  But what is more important: allowing your children to see a movie just so they can feel included or protecting their impressionable and precious little souls from a movie full of paganistic spiritual nature worship and immoral messages?
