|Fitting satire of an unfair (and likely liberal) professor, senseless academic research, paganism, and a villainous EPA regulator. Sample line by one of the stars (Dan Aykroyd) when asked to shift from the public to the [[private sector]]: "I don’t know about that. I’ve worked in the private sector. They expect results!"  Followed by a sequel, ''Ghostbusters 2'' in 1989. Remade in 2016 as a liberal revisionist and pro-feminist piece (with the four main character all female) which bombed at the box office.

|A fitting satire of an unfair (and likely liberal) professor, senseless academic research, paganism, and a villainous EPA regulator. One conservative sample line by one of the stars (Dan Aykroyd) when asked to shift from the public to the [[private sector]] read like this: "I don’t know about that. I’ve worked in the private sector. They expect results!"  Followed by a sequel, ''Ghostbusters 2'' in 1989. Remade in 2016 as a liberal revisionist and pro-feminist piece (with the four main character all female) which bombed at the box office and had a trailer almost universally panned on YouTube.

|The main message of the movie is about the power of the individual and the triumph of faith, friendship, hope, and heroism. ''The Lion King'' also features subtle Christian messages, such as honoring thy father and reconciliation. Its story takes partial inspiration from scriptural text found in the [[Old Testament]] and [[New Testament]]. On a side note, the film features the power-hungry main antagonist Scar, who kills his own brother, the ruling Lion King Mufasa, in order to usurp the position of King, then manipulates his nephew, Mufasa's young son Simba, into thinking that Simba was responsible for his father's death and forces him into exile. Once Scar becomes ruler, he favors [[Communism|Communistic]]/[[Fascism|fascistic]] big government, pushes [[liberal values]] and destroys their Pride Lands territory. In addition, when rallying up the Hyenas to aid him in killing Mufasa, he vows that under his rule, they'll "never go hungry again", mirroring what various Communist and other leftist insurgents often vowed when trying to get people to aid them in taking over their government. The song "Be Prepared" also showed the Hyenas doing a [[goose step]] routine and turning to Scar as he looks down from a cliff in a clear reference to Nazism. At several points in the film, Scar also is shown to delusively believe he was still a very good king, even claiming "I'm ten times the king Mufasa was!", which is similar to liberal delusions of their own skills in governing (i.e., Obama's later claim that he would have "won" reelection into a third term if he was able to run again, despite never being legally qualified to run in the first place, not to mention his being legally barred from running for a third term even if he were legally qualified to run in the first place per the [[Twenty-Second Amendment]] to the United States Constitution.). He also unsuccessfully attempted to orchestrate the assassination of Simba by using hyena minions, and even attempted to kill him himself, in order to ensure that he will be King and remain so forevermore, but is thwarted in the attempt by the now-grown Simba, who becomes King and restores the Pride Lands after Scar, who tries to save his own skin by accusing his hyena minions of being responsible for everything he orchestrated himself, has the hyenas turn against and kill him. There is also a slight condemnation towards anarchy in the film as well, as during the song Be Prepared, the hyena Shenzi, after learning that Scar is planning to kill Mufasa and Simba, celebrates the possibility that there won't be a king at all, claiming they don't need one before Scar sternly tells them that he intends to be the king. There's also a condemnation towards hedonism, as the characters Timon and Pumbaa, while overall depicted as genuinely heroic at times, engaged in a philosophy of having zero worries called "Hakuna Matata", which is shown overall to be a negative.

|Based mainly upon the Shakespearean play ''Hamlet'', the main message of this box office smash hit is about the power of the individual and the triumph of faith, friendship, hope, and heroism. ''The Lion King'' also features subtle Christian messages, such as honoring one's father and reconciliation. Its story takes partial inspiration from Scripture, particularly the stories of [[Joseph]] and [[Moses]]. On a side note, the film features the power-hungry main antagonist Scar, who kills his own brother, the ruling king Mufasa, to usurp the throne, then manipulates his nephew, Mufasa's young son Simba, into thinking that Simba is responsible for his father's death and forces him into exile. Scar is a model liberal because, once he becomes ruler, he favors [[Communism|Communistic]]/[[Fascism|fascistic]] big government, pushes [[liberal values]], and lets their Pride Lands territory fall to ruin. In addition, when rallying up the Hyenas to aid him in killing Mufasa, he vows that they will never starve under his rule, mirroring what various Communist and other leftist insurgents often vow when trying to get people to aid them in taking over a government. The song "Be Prepared" also shows the Hyenas [[goose step|goose stepping]] past Scar as he looks down from a cliff in a clear reference to Nazism. At several points in the film, Scar is shown to delusively believe he was still a very good king, even claiming "I'm ten times the king Mufasa was!", which is similar to liberal delusions of their own skills in governing (i.e., Obama's later claim that he would have "won" reelection into a third term if he was able to run again, despite never being legally qualified to run in the first place, not to mention his being legally barred from running for a third term even if he were legally qualified to run in the first place per the [[Twenty-Second Amendment]] to the United States Constitution). He also unsuccessfully attempts to orchestrate the assassination of Simba by using hyena minions, and even attempts to kill him himself, to ensure that he will be king and remain so forevermore, but is thwarted by Simba once the cub reaches adulthood. Simba effectively becomes King and restores the Pride Lands after Scar, who tries to save his own skin by blaming his minions for everything he orchestrated himself, has the hyenas turn against and kill him. There is a slight condemnation towards anarchy in the film as well: during the song "Be Prepared", the hyena Shenzi, upon learning that Scar is planning to kill Mufasa and Simba, entertains the possibility of a kingless society before Scar sternly tells the laughing hyenas that he intends to be the king. Finally, the film condemns hedonism, as the misfit meerkat and warthog comic reliefs Timon and Pumbaa, while depicted as genuinely heroic at times, engage in a philosophy of "Hakuna Matata" ("No Worries" in Swahili), which is shown overall to be a negative.
