'So Dangerous': Pastor's Warning About New Disney Pixar Film 'Turning Red' 

One of the things I appreciate about my pediatrician is his advice. No screens before age 2. No more than an hour per week up to age 5. Books. Read every night and no TVs or devices in the bedroom because the bedroom is for sleeping. I always told mine. Guard what you read, watch and listen to. It'll drive your thoughts and thoughts drive your actions.

When it comes to your children, in my life I know, I seen they listen to me sometimes but I didn't see any change for a couple of years, I have 2 daughters and a son. I knelt down and brought them to the Lord , I gave them to Jesus. I started praying for them and confessing their salvation, no matter what I seen, I would say Lord I gave them to you and I was so sincere. They wasn't teenagers but they were still young. My son and one of my daughters were on drugs, and my other daughter was an alcoholic. My son came home one day and he was really messed up. As he walked into the house, I was out side , I stood up and raise my hand to heaven and tears in my eyes , I said Lord, and the holy spirit spoke to me and said God Knows. And a total peace come on me, and I was not upset any more. Today my son is saved, my daughter that was an alcoholic is saved ,and my other daughter is on her way in You know I think about that scripture that say , The prayer of a righteous man availth much. In another way of. Saying it is , the prayer of a righteous man has great power. This is so True, zGod can reach people ,and deal with their ❤. God will keep them safe , until they surrender to him. They may have to go thur some things, but you'll know God knows .praise God he is so faithful.

The problem with deception is that people don’t realise that they are deceived…

Disney films are full of this stuff and have been for years. Interesting that he seems surprised by the content. Mulan is helped by a dragon sent by her ancestors, Tiana deals with voodoo and Elsa was a bit of a witch who got more powerful when she got more emotional. There is always magic involved in their films. Most Christians in America are totally clueless when it comes to recognizing these things and they always want to believe they can live their own version of everything and dismiss what the Bible actually says about it. Just like "Christian yoga". When anyone from India finds out Christians here do Yoga they cannot believe it since Yoga actually means to yoke with ...to join with and unite with the Gods of their religion. Totally forbidden in the Bible. But never mind because if you stick Christian in front of it that totally erases the origin , history and meaning of the whole thing and now it is an American version of it...smh.

i will say as a chinese christian a lot of local chinese ppl now feel that “communicating to ancestors” and more traditional chinese religions are now just idol worship, so much that it’s beginning to decline in my country.

Disney makes millions off what our bibles tell us to not be involved in. Nothing new... There is a RU-vid channel called Little Light Studios that does a great job breaking down Disney content and other entertainment to show its hidden meanings and comparing it to biblical teaching. Highly recommend.

As a Chinese Christian, I believe that it is important for parents to educate their children about Chinese folk religion and ancestral worship rather than outright telling them you should not watch it. This is just the same thing as yoga, new age, voodoo, tarot cards, and many other stuff that is ungodly

Tbh there’s a ton of Disney movies like this it’s no different

I never understood Christians watching cartoons with witchcraft / spells. If it’s not ok in tv or movies, why a cartoon? 🤷🏼‍♀️

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6:12‬

I really love Mike’s ministry and perspective. He absolutely doesn’t mind telling the truth of Christ to anyone and I love that about him. ❤

As a CHINESE born Christian (a very faithful one at that), I've seen my fair share of ancestral worship within my community (which I don't practice since I'm a Christian) and I do know for a fact that the Bible condemns such practices so I can understand where he's coming from. However, as a western man, I guess he's just not used to the normal practices of the Chinese (and mostly Asian) culture which places our ancestors at the top most. This practice of ancestral worship is very common in Asian households.

Honestly thank you because even as a 21 year old the eyes are the window to the soul! I believe especially as believers we should be careful what we let our eyes and ears take in! So this is good honestly! Warn the children warn the Adults🤷‍♀️

Dude's offended that they made a veggietales for Chinese people and he BIG MAD

I was raised Christian, and the church wonders why I stopped attending

He talks about menstruation so much but will never know how it's like to have it on a monthly basis from start of puberty to menopause. You do not speak for us women. Stop basing it upon you boy and especially your one and only religion and culture.

Thanks for having me on to discuss such an important issue parents face!

I’m Christian and I wouldn’t be opposed to showing my children any movie that highlighted aspects of different cultures with different religious beliefs. It’s important to not live in an echo chamber, allow your children to experience other cultures as they are, and to be respectful of the differences.

It definitely resonates more than ever the Bible verse that says, “There’s is a way that seems right to a man but in the end, it leads to death.”

It's Chinese culture. In the movie they are Chinese and ancestors are a big part of their faith. I don't see an issue with it.

imagine your whole personality revolves around your religion

This guy has lost his marbles. It's just a movie. If you don't like it or are not interested then don't watch it.

Who would listen to this guy

Do people forget that there is more than one religion?

it centering around that "I don't wanna listen to authorized attitude" you can't tell me what I can and cannot do etc We need to be bold and compassionate but also taking our stand to say No to these things. Don't be silence and except what the world is telling us to believe.

I have no TV at home. I don't take my girls to movies. I read to them classic Christian value based stories. They memorize Bible verses on a regular basis. I told them many wordly movies and music are demonic, so they don't really crave those things. What a blessing to abide in the Word of God from a young age.

These dudes are terrifying. They actually believe and actively promote their stupid beliefs to others. Who tf thinks menstruation is demonic. Menstruation is something that ALL little girls should know about at their age so how tf is that inappropriate its literally their body. Did yall not tell your 15yr old about menstruation and sis was just confused when it happened? And then he over here demonizing spirituality. This is someone's culture sir and you clearly don't care to understand it because you couldnt even understand a children animation around someone else's culture. You didnt watch the movie. You dont care to understand others. And you are a menace to society. People arent perfect but you preach it like it's nothing and thats frustrating. Why dont you stand in someone else's shoes for once

Good job pastor, about time someone spoke up about these unchristian movies that Christian parents are allowing their children to watch. It does matter and it does give kids ideas.

all of that company is dangerous

The whole thing of " I'm going to do what I want to do" harkens back to the 1970s of " If it feels good do it". It feeds into the world think of sexuality and that whole mess. On another note was this movie supposed to inform girls about their cycle. Mamy girls are starting as young as 10. My daughter started 1 year before I did, I started 4 years before my mother did. Many girls start with little to know information, that's a scary moment even when you know what it is. The pain can be on the same level as early labor. It is a very sad fact many parents are not teaching their children the fact of basic human bodily functions. They are relying upon the schools and the internet. Or they are so uncomfortable they wait until there is a crisis of sorts, such as an infection or pregnancy. Forgive my rant. Ignorance causes so much unnecessary pain.

It's a children's movie with roots of Chinese religion. I'm sorry the work displayed a culture other than yours. Christians like this are a trip

The sad thing about people who are religious is that they are adults who still believe in magic, or they are adults who believe that fear can control others to their subjugation.

I feel bad for any child that has a parent that takes this seriously. You will push your kids away from you and religion with this kind of rhetoric.

If you’re watching this video, your discernment from the Lord kicked in….And that should answer your question on if you should stay away from this film. You watched this because you had questions and were uncertain. Trust what the Lord is telling you and simply skip it.

I'm glad we still have pastors with discernment exposing the truth. May the grace of God be with him.

If this set him off imagine the movie Coco

Now this is amusing. I have not seen the full film yet. However, I worked at Pixar as an intern in Summer 2019. I was part of the animator department. I am sure they are all getting a kick out of the news and laughing. All I can say is, Pixar was the most life changing and amazing experience I went through when I worked there. I was living on my own for the first time ever, and living in the San Francisco Bay Area that Summer. The scenery was beautiful there. It was also filled with lots of repugnant, bad things. Unfortunately, I saw lots of thieves in stores and homeless on every street. Pixar was like a little golden puffy cloud surrounded by all of that bad. I am someone who grew up bullied, angry, and lacks trust. During the final day of the internship when the interns were saying goodbye to each other, I went into the restroom on the second floor and I almost had a mental breakdown because I did not want to leave back to boring Texas, which is where I am stuck now. Pixar was filled with so much talent and amazing people. It felt like the super home I never had, and the only thing higher than it is Heaven. Also, the screenwriters and story artists are the ones who develop the overall story. There are over 1,000 employees. You can't blame them all if there is something you don't like about the film. It takes lots of work to create a film. Tons of hours that most people don't know about. Pixar was the greatest place I experienced in this life so far. All of the employees I met were cool. The inside of the Steve Jobs building looks like a giant playground. Kids were running around in the cafeteria during lunch hours. This is because there were hundreds of visitors there everyday. Most of them were friends or family of employees. Lots of outdoor activities and games as well. It's really not what you think unless you have been there. It's like a huge campus. But this is all I can legally say. You can see pictures of the outside area on the internet. Everyone is working there remotely now. I am currently at a game company though.😁

If you're not that Christian who your brethren, family, and co-workers "hate," then you probably aren't telling the truth and shaking up your community. Why are we afraid of pushback? Didn't Jesus promise us that we would not often be accepted, if we're actually preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom, seeking to make disciples, and calling to repentance? Were the prophets well received? I'm glad this man is being a watchman. But let's not be apologetic about it. If other believers are upset because I'm being too Christian for them, then I'm not the one who's wrong.

War, hunger, violence against real people and he is concerned about an animated movie? A fictional animated movie at that. One should not take themselves so seriously because he is actually boosting the movie. Also, he is probably enjoying having his name in the news. Too bad it isn't for a real effort to battle the real evils of the world and really helping his brothers and sisters in God.

Bro you are like the pastors who protested Harry Potter. Your kids, our kids need to know how to deal with Fiction. Your repression will only equal rebellion.

There are so many of these "kid" movies and I am glad to see you speaking about this. We seriously do as parents use discernment. I was shocked to see how many Christian people were good with Harry Potter.

I’ve seen Turning Red three times with the family. Great movie. Would recommend it to anyone, 10/10.

Okay so 1. You obviously missed the part of the film where Mei sees her mom as a teenager and tries to help her out. Showing that while Mei wants to be her own person, she wants to love her family. 2. Our bodies change over time. Women go through their times of the month. We all develop new interests. 3. The whole trying to be an independent character plot has been in numerous Disney films dating back to Pinocchio.

Wow…does this guy see marvel films and think their real????

I wonder if this hypocrite is wearing two different types of fabric right now

It's just a different culture

5:58 Captain America: "Am I a joke to you?"

If you are so worried about 'out side influences' having too many effects on your children, you not only don't have enough faith in your beliefs, but are also setting yourself up for your kids to abandon that religion later. Instead of blockading off your kids from society, talk with them about how different people believe different things, and how you don't believe those things.

It would be wise to do research on the history of Walt Disney.

The word says in 2 Timothy 3:1-2 {NKJV} 1. But know this, That in the last days perilous times will come 2. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanders, without self- control, Brutal, despisers of good, traders, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, These verses were not talking about the unsaved, it was talking about the church, because it says they had a form of godliness, but denying its power. The unsaved do not have a form of Godliness.. just those pretending to be Godly or lack thereof.. in other words Rebellion will be rampant even in the church.. rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft.. That’s what the world is teaching our children, rebellion against God. And we all know where that comes from.. That’s the root of the matter..

I seriously don't understand why this is the kind of thing on a news channel. This ain't news, this is a Joe Rogan Podcast. Go touch grass instead of staying in an echo chamber.

Wait so your daughters shouldn't have autonomy over their bodies?

I saw a 10 second promo for this movie and instantly decided not to watch. I can't understand why so many people I have known from church are absolutely in love with Disney. They watch everything and anything that's popular with no discernment. We very rarely watch any "new" movies because there is so much trash in them.

In my opinion, it’s a really good movie.

There seems to be two sorts of people on the comments section (since I think this is a Christian channel, directing only for those who follow the Messiah): those who have the oil and those who have used up their oil or have quenched their spirit. Some can only see the worldly narrative of the story, but for others they can see beyond the storyline and discern what the enemy is doing, it's called *Spiritual Warfare* and they're after your kids and the next generation. Remember that the senses are the doors or portals where they can creep in. Protect yourselves, don't compromise. The mythologies and traditions and stories of old were based from real events and beings around the world in all cultures like the titans and chimera or half animal creatures. They were the *Nephilim* or Gibborim, the mighty and renown beings that ruled humans who also had knowledge and technology. They were offspring of the fallen ones before the flood and also after the tower of babel when all nations dispersed carrying similar stories down the generations.

anyone remember the "Satanic Panic"' of the 80's? totally made up. i guess it's hard to grift money from people without fear-mongering.

The ridiculousness of this segment is astounding. I personally didn’t think the movie was good but there’s no harm in learning about another’s culture. This is just like Christians to try and snuff out every other culture and religion to try and make theirs seem true when in reality theirs is just an amalgamation of hundreds of other beliefs from different religions 🙄🙄🙄

Thank you for this.

I remember 20 years ago we were trying to find something for the kids to watch so we could have an adult conversation in the kitchen. Disney, Nicolodian, every children's channel or program had a magical element. The most common theme was the main character having a supernatural edge over others.

If your kids are watching a movie 2-3× (6hours!) per day! You need parenting help. Kidd have too much screen time cause parents are addicted to their screens. We need help

You nailed it… we as Christians are becoming desensitized by the world and thus tolerating things we should not! God is holy so we should be holy. Way to help God’s people with your discernment!

All for people's beliefs but this news is just stupid

The irony of christians hating things that even lightly hint at magic and human worship will always be funny to me.

Did anyone else notice the eye in the background behind the pastor

I have been a christian for 46 years and have heard thousands of sermons in many churchs. never once have I heard a talk on the cults or learning the doctrines of the bible. I've had to learn all of it on my own. Every christian needs to know their bible completely. If all your learning about the bible is only from your pastor, then you'll be in kindergarten forever. If your church does teach about the cults and doctrine, your very fortunate. the mormons have said that many of their converts come from the churchs.

The average age of menstruation is 12 years old. That is a child. Children have periods. Why would it be inappropriate to show menstruation in media? Maybe it would be easier for young girls to feel less alone if we stopped pretending like they don't have periods.

As soon as we see a person talking to the dead, we should know that is against God's commandments. Unfortunately most Christians are not familiar with God's commandments.

Teen Vogue had an article containing 50 spells, for which some called for menstrual blood as an ingredient

This is so dangerous. It is written my people perish for a lack of knowledge. Parents guard your children. God bless. 🙏

Praise The Lord for you, Pastor! “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” ‭‭II Timothy‬ ‭2:15‬

The comments here illustrate how the statement "I am Christain" has become today. Jesus said, in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. Either that's true, or it's not. If you are really a follower of Christ, that is the truth!

In general saying that there isn’t open Christianity in this movie comes off disrespectful, there are hints of culture, tradition, and religion in this movie, just because it doesn’t relate to yours doesn’t mean it’s wrong

It's mindsets like this is why we keep going back on the times

I actually really enjoyed this movie. I personally wasn't offended by it at all and it dealt with a lot of concepts (e.g. ancestors, spirits, superstition) that are relevant to many Asian cultures. I am not offended by those cultures and their beliefs, so I wasn't offended by the movie. I suppose if I viewed everything in life through the lens of a devout Christian, maybe I would share this person's views more closely but I was raised Christian, my ancestors on one side of my family were Buddhist and the other side Catholic, and I don't claim to know the true nature of reality, so I don't look at everything purely through a Christian lens

It is odd to me that you would watch the whole movie after deciding it was not of Christian teaching after the first 8 minutes. Supposedly becoming more horrifying with every scene. Minute 15 this is really not of God, but I have to finish it to make sure I was correct in my first 2 assertions. Am I missing something here are you and your families being forced to watch Disney movies in some kind of freaky evangelical version of a Clockwork Orange scenario? If you are that’s not right. Nobody should be forced to watch something or be made to feel inferior or unworthy of God’s love and redemption for their movie choice’s or religious beliefs. People worry about your owns sins offending your God and don’t point out your brothers until you are without.

Ffs, it is a cultural grounded movie, an animation about Chinese root and culture. What does it have to do with North American Christianity? Smh. How much does this ignorant pastor know about Chinese culture to even criticise the movie in the first place? 🙃

This is absolutely ridiculous, just listening to him I can tell he doesn't care about any culture, religion or experiences that he can't relate too and/or aren't his.

Churches should be issuing these warnings but if they were doing their job right, our country wouldn't be in the sad shape it is. Parents should be in their Bibles with a relationship with the Lord if they expect their kids to escape this toxic culture intact spiritually.

Put it on rumble and bit chute

THANK YOU! I've passed this on to my peeps! Keep it up, brother... ~Houston Kat

I had no idea that's what this film was about. Thank you for standing up and speaking out! God bless you! Jesus is coming back soon!

oooh wow. This is over dramatic

Thank you for sharing.

DreamWorks is so bad !!!!

I’m proud to be a christian… but are y’all just saying everything is demonic. When there are a lot of movies just like turning red and y’all haven’t spoken about it. 🤨

Idk this is just crazy paranoia and fear that Christian’s love to spread reminds me of my paranoid mom

Old Testament speaks against it AND New Testament speaks against it. Rev 21:8, Gal 5:19-21, Rev 9:20.

Was it removed because they didn't want to be exposed?

most of the movie was about chinese culture. you forcing your christian ideals on a movie about chinese culture is blatantly disrespectful

Most of Disney's new shows (the last 15 years) have been leading up to this perversion that their pushing

Thanku this is so helpful thanks g for sharing

If you don't like it don't watch. Just because something does not reflect your narrow Christian world view does not make it evil.

Wooo hooo!! Couldn’t agree more with pastor MIKE! Praise GOD for exposing the darkness👏🏻🔥

Parents have become so uninvolved, uninterested, and carnal in how they chose to raise their kids. 😩😩😩

At one point during the movie, there wa s a scene where the mother goes “ instead of honoring God we honor our ancenstors” …like ?? Did anyone else catch that:/

My son loves this movie he's 3 and we've watched it 15 times already and I don't see it

Matthew 24:4 And JESUS answered and said to them. Take heed that no one DECEIVES you. The fields are ripe unto harvest. Pray therefore to the LORD of the harvest to send more laborers. REPENTANCE-We the CHURCH And SALVATION to the WORLD. John 3:16-17; Acts 2:38, 2 Chronicles 7:14. GOD bless ALL who hunger and thirst after His RIGHTEOUSNESS. No more compromising Christians/Church It’s RIGHTEOUSNESS that exalts a Nation. JESUS Forgive me of ALL my SINS🙏🙇‍♀️

You're being ridiculous. I'm 57 years old with 2 grown children & 2 grandkids & I have to say, we all love the film & recommend it to everybody.

Thank you !

Thank you!!!
