I saw it for the first time last year and instantly recognized it as communist/socialist propaganda. Then I did some research and found out that (although they should not have done so - free speech) the FBI investigated the creators of the movie for communist ties because of the content of the movie.

Are there any movies out there that we can all agree were/are fantastic? Movies that may fit this are: Lion King Lord of the Rings Return of the King Oceans 11 Monsters Inc. Itallion Job Thor Ragnarok What is you think? Are there other movies you can think of that may be universally loved or at least not hated by anyone? 10 Commandments Styln Midwest LDS 1 Quote

I believe his last wife (Janet?) was actually connected to the Church and they wrote a few Science Fiction books together. I actually have the Norby books. I think she may have fell away, but she has roots in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Midwest LDS 1 Quote

It's one of those things where the movie simply uses concepts of a book series' universe to build its own story (the movie uses asimov's character names and the positronic robots and the laws that go with them but the storyline is inspired by the play Hardwired which is not related to Asimov's robots series). There are several awesome movies like this. How To Train Your Dragon is one of them. Midwest LDS and Fether 2 Quote

Speaking of abundant vulgar language, the new reboot TV series is fantastic...except the stinking language. They de-construct the original and make you root for Johnny, but also Laruso, etc., and their new proteges in an extremely interesting way. 4 minutes ago, Vort said: 9 minutes ago, The Folk Prophet said: Raiders of the Lost Ark See "Back to the Future", except more insinuation than language.

Vort Posted October 11, 2018 Report Posted October 11, 2018 Classic Disney is hard not to like. Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Pinocchio are three that I suspect most people enjoy. Snow White, Bambi, and Dumbo are widely loved, but also weird out many people. It's really hard to find universally loved movies. Probably easier to find universally hated movies.
