Yeah, Fayte...

Through my interest in mythology and secret societies, I found out a lot about Walt Disney and the symbols all over his cartoons. The Little Mermaid is one of the biggest "culprits"...

basically, if you know what to look for, you will see a lot of messages in the dialogue, the background of the cartoons, etc.

When I started watching them as an adult or though the eyes of someone who knows these symobols, I was amazed....

Many stories meant for children do indeed have their much deeper meanings and symbology/metaphor. Lewis Carroll is one author who comes to mind. And The Brothers Grim original stories are much heavier than the cutsified versions.
However those videos are simply parodies.

Oh people... You know what they say; You are bound to see what you want to see even if its not there.

I mean if we are to apply the same reasoning to say... Tim Burton's films, we could be speclating that he is out to turn all of us towards the infinte dark cult societies or something Lol!

Which would be a total shame since I enjoy Tim Burton's rendition of Sleepy Hollow (Mind you he ain't exacrly one of my fav. directors but that is beside the point.)

Xodian... It depends.

Some of these symbols, actually, most I have seen, are a reminder of "who we were/are", how much power we have within, and a sort of memory jogger of how one can release that power.

Like, the symbols Disney uses are usually the Atlantis related stuff, of "a past Golden Age" etc... He and his team of society were just letting the public know that there is more to life than this.

(Fayte... like that Lex of the Alphabet I did... that's what Disney usually talks about, but more...)

But, if people can infuse positive messages, they can also infuse negative ones, but... the question is: Which are good, and which are bad?

Personally... I dunno. But I know that there is a lot between the lines.

Like "Pan's Labyrinth"... the mexican/spanish movie...

It also uses Brothers'stories formula... the repitition of 3's... three dimensionality, multi-dimensionality.. karma, levels of consciousness etc. but... yeah, you see that if you want to, I guess.

To a child, it's just a story about fairies.

P.S. Fayte... you'll email me when you can receive mail, okay?

I don't like the rule of threes that some storytellers adhere to.

I often ask "why" there has to be three brothers, princesses, princes, wise men, three tests, the third path being the right one, etc.
Why?

Why the huge emphasis?

Disney not only produces children's movies but it also produces adult porn movies. In fact it makes a great deal of it's billions of dollars assets off of the production and sales of adult porn movies.

Apparently the internet is not the only place for porn.
