WELCOME
Disney has occasionally been known for its use of religious themes in their movies and stories. It is not uncommon to see comparisons of things such as Snow White's poison apple to Eve's forbidden fruit [0.1]. Disney gets a lot of inspiration from their surroundings such as the common thought that The Lion King is the equivalent of an "African Hamlet" [0.2]. This website will be showcasing the clear Christ-figures in some of Disney's most popular children's movies: Hercules, Tangled, Frozen, and The Lion King. I will also explore the theme of sacrificial love that goes hand in hand with Christ-figures. As always, Disney has a reason for using these characters and themes and this website analyses the examples and questions their purpose in the Disney company.
