What's the Pastoral Verdict on 'Frozen'?
A Christian film reviewer says that contrary to one pastor's claim that Frozen has a "homosexual agenda," Disney's popular film actually offers a "responsible and family friendly" message.
Paul Asay, who screens films for Focus on the Family's Plugged In ministry, said that in his eyes, the hit film was one of the best he'd seen from the studio for some time.
"When you think of a Disney cartoon, you tend to think of true love, love at first sight, love's first kiss, all that sort of stuff," Asay told The Christian Post. "Frozen really plays around with that but in a really delightful way to turn it around and say 'This romantic love isn't the only one that is available.' You have this really strong love between sisters, between family members and even when things go wrong between them, they still find, in the end, that they would really do anything for each other."
For all that Asay sought to praise, Pastor Kevin Swanson, the host of a weekly program on the Colorado-based Generations Radio, strongly censured the film - even though he admits he had not seen it - suggesting that it was a tool of Disney, which he described as "probably one of the most pro-homosexual organizations in the country."
