This information came from another list that I participate on and 
should give some valuable information to parents our there.
 
CHILDREN’S ANIMATED MOVIES

In Pocahontas, Disney censored the historical fact that the heroine in
the story converted from paganism to Christianity. Instead, the film
glorified pagan earth-worship. Furthermore, Roy Disney called Pocahontas
"the most incredibly beautiful and sexy cartoon female Disney has ever
done." 

OTHER MOVIES

Disney signed Martin Scorsese, the director of The Last Temptation of
Christ, Casino, Taxi Driver and many other hard-edged films to a
4-year-contract. Daily Variety, 1/30/96 

Disney hired Victor Salva, a convicted child molester, to direct its
movie Powder. When Salva’s victim, Nathan Winters (now 20), publicized
the hiring, some of the police officers who investigated the 1987
molestation were incredulous that Salva was working again as a movie
director. "It just blows me away," said Officer Gary Primavera. "He has
serious signs of being a pedophile." One Disney official, John Dreyer,
refused to respond to Winter’s demand that Disney fire Salva, saying,
"What’s the point other than you want to make headlines?" That’s
compassion for you. Washington Times, 10/25/95 

Disney considers buying Ripe, a movie about the deflowering of
14-year-old twins. Newsweek 2/12/96 

Disney hired Kevin Smith to produce two movies: Dogma, which attacks
Christianity by asserting that Christian beliefs are little more than
mythology, and Chasing Amy about a man’s pursuit of a lesbian. Daily
Variety, 11/3/95 

Mark Gill, the president of Disney-owned Miramax admitted that his
company thrives on racy, often violent promotion for its movies. Daily
Variety 9/13/95 

Disney-owned Miramax released the homosexual movie, Lie Down with Dogs.
Daily Variety, 5/16/95 

Priest (Miramax) is a pro-homosexual movie which depicts five Catholic
priests as perverts and blames their perversion on Church teachings. One
priest is a homosexual; a second an adulterer; a third an alcoholic; a
fourth demented; and the fifth just plain mean and vicious. The
Advocate, 4/4/95, 4/18/95; Family Issues Alert, 3/30/95 

Pulp Fiction (Miramax) is a seedy, hyper-violent movie starring John
Travolta. It had an
NC-17 rating before editing gave it an R rating. Entertainment Weekly,
6/10/94; Daily
Variety, 6/15/94 

The Advocate (Miramax) is filled with nudity, the movie was rated NC-17
(formerly the X
rating) but on appeal (and after cutting out a 12-second sex scene) it
was given an R. Daily Variety, 8/17/94 

Kids (Miramax) was described by Variety magazine as "one of the most
controversial
American movies ever made." According to Newsweek, "The film follows a
number of barely
pubescent-looking boys and girls around New York City as they smoke pot,
bait gays, beat a black man and engage in graphic sex. "Under pressure
Miramax formed an independent
company to market and distribute the pornographic movie." Daily Variety,
1/27/95;
Newsweek, 2/20/95; Wall Street Journal, 3/30/95; Associated Press,
6/29/95

political rivals, but
discounted by historians) that Thomas Jefferson fathered children by a
13-year-old slave girl. Insight, 12/5/94 

TELEVISION, CHILDREN AND FAMILY VALUES

Disney recently bought Capital Cities/ABC for $19 billion. On March 19,
ABC aired a Dana
Carvey Show program which featured jokes and laughter about alcohol
abuse and cocaine
addiction. The same show had Carvey portray George Washington using
cocaine and Ben
Franklin in bed with another man. The same program had a cartoon skit
entitled "The
Ambiguously Gay Duo" in which two Superman-style heroes are homosexual
lovers and drive
a super car shaped like male genitalia. Finally, a "Celebrity Bloopers"
spoof featured 17 uses of the F-word (bleeped out, of course; but its
intent was clear). 

For the 1995 Christmas season, Disney dropped its 17-year-old "Glory and
Pageantry of
Christmas" display (one of Disney’s few concessions to the fact that
Christmas is Christian) near Disney World in Orlando, Florida, and
replaced it with "Tropical Santa." 

PEOPLE, POLICIES AND THE HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA

Disney helped underwrite the 1993 Hollywood benefit for the National Gay
and Lesbian Task Force. The Press Enterprise, 12/28/93 

Disney hired avowed lesbian Lauren Lloyd for the specific purpose of
developing female and lesbian movies. OUT magazine, a homosexual
publication, praised Disney: "Like it or not, lesbians are not yet chic
entertainment attractions for a lot of America. With Lloyd and Disney on
our side, though, anything is possible." OUT, 11/94 

According to monitoring by American Family Association, Disney has been
one of the top
sponsors of pro-homosexual TV programming. 

In the May, 1995, issue of Buzz magazine, contributing editor Steven
Gaines writes, in an article entitled "Disney Comes Out of the Closet,"
that Disney has the "largest lesbian and gay employees organization in
the entertainment industry." 

In June, 1996, the company hosted the 6th annual "Gay and Lesbian Day at
Walt Disney
World." In a cartoon Disney allowed the homosexual organizers to portray
Mickey Mouse
and Donald Duck as homosexual lovers; and Minnie Mouse and Daisy Duck as
lesbians. 
Disney has extended company health benefits to live-in partners of
homosexual employees
(the policy does not cover unmarried heterosexual couples who live
together). The Orlando Sentinel, 10/7/95; USA Today, 10/19/95; Daily
Variety, 10/9/95 

Hyperion Press, a Disney-owned subsidiary, has published "Lettin’ It All
Hang Out," the
autobiography of RuPaul, a well-known "drag queen" (transvestite)
entertainer. 
Hyperion Press also published "Growing Up Gay." Written by three
homosexual comedians,
the book is written to encourage "gay" young people. 

According to Harper’s magazine (12/95), Hyperion is planning to publish
Daniel Harris’ book about "gay culture."
