| − | |A brave young Christian man stands up to his [[atheist]] bully of a professor (played by real-life conservative Christian ([[Kevin Sorbo]]) and demonstrates the strength and wholesomeness of Christianity while exposing the folly of [[professor values]]. Furthermore, it illustrates atheists as people who acknowledge that there is a God but refuse to have faith in Him for [[Causes of atheism|any number of reasons]]—in this case, self-hatred and spite; and it features conservative celebrity cameos such as Willie and Korie Robertson (of ''[[Duck Dynasty]]'' fame), plus the Christian rock band The Newsboys. Liberals were shocked when it stood strong in the box office, being in the top 5 in its opening weekend. Of course, all the world's atheists were furious because they felt unfairly portrayed, which only proves the film's thesis that atheists are more animalistic and less rational than Christians. | + | |A brave young Christian man stands up to his [[atheist]] bully of a professor (played by real-life conservative Christian ([[Kevin Sorbo]]) and demonstrates the strength and wholesomeness of Christianity while exposing the folly of [[professor values]].

Three sequels follow this film: ''God's Not Dead 2'', ''God's Not Dead: A Light in the Darkness'', and ''God's Not Dead: We the People''. |

| − | |A teenager named Max (whose family moved from Los Angeles to Salem, Massachusetts) ends up summoning three evil devil-worshipping witches, who plan on absorbing the life essence of all children until they are young, beautiful, and immortal. Max, his sister Dani, his love interest Allison, and an immortal human-turned-cat named Thackery Binx work together to stop the witches before the end of Halloween that night. The movie portrays family values like the love between siblings in a positive light, from Binx trying (but sadly failing) to save his sister from dying to Max drinking a deadly potion to draw the witches' attention away from Dani; Winifred in contrast (played by very liberal actress Bette Midler) callously doesn't do the same for her own sisters. Heaven is shown at the end of the movie when Binx reunites with his sister, and their spirits walk to Heaven together. A novelization/sequel of the movie was published in 2018, and a more liberal movie based on the novelization/sequel was released on Disney+ in 2022. | + | |A teenager named Max (whose family moved from Los Angeles to Salem, Massachusetts) ends up summoning three evil devil-worshipping witches, who plan on absorbing the life essence of all children until they are young, beautiful, and immortal.

| − | |Set in the fictional Japanese city Megasaki, Mayor Kobayashi issues a decree that all of the city's dogs - whether they're pets or strays - are to be quarantined and taken to Trash Island until a cure for "dog flu" comes around. The mayor's nephew and ward, Atari, heads over to the island to find his dog Spots and is befriended by five dogs (Chief, Rex, King, Boss, and Duke), who all decide to help him find Spots. Along the way, they discover that the mayor has hidden sinister motives behind banning all dogs from Megasaki. Totalitarian rule is rightfully condemned, with Mayor Kobayashi arranging for the death of a scientist when said man finds a cure for dog flu. The movie also condemns animal cruelty, as shown in the case of Kobayashi's anti-dog propaganda and Gondo's "cannibal" pack, who have been subjected to scientific experiments until an "act of God" rescued them. It also shows family and redemption in a positive light, for Mayor Kobayashi has taken Atari in after his parents were killed and decides to abandon his anti-dog plans once he sees how much Atari has gone through, even donating a kidney once the boy's remaining kidney fails. | + | |Set in the fictional Japanese city Megasaki, Mayor Kobayashi issues a decree that all of the city's dogs - whether they're pets or strays - are to be quarantined and taken to Trash Island until a cure for "dog flu" comes around.

The movie also condemns animal cruelty, as shown in the case of Kobayashi's anti-dog propaganda and Gondo's "cannibal" pack, who have been subjected to scientific experiments until an "act of God" rescued them; the cannibalism even happened only once when Gondo and his pack ate their leader to survive the harsh island life, a task that none of them are proud of doing.

| | In the first installment, the world's first computer-animated theatrical feature, pull-string cowboy doll Sheriff Woody grows jealous when science fiction hero action figure Buzz Lightyear, who initially believes he is a real space hero, becomes young Andy's favorite toy among the toy community. Woody's efforts to make himself Andy's favorite toy again cause both him and Buzz to be separated from their owner, but teamwork allows them to find their way back to Andy just before he and his family move to a new house. The film's overall development was especially notable due to then-Disney Animation chairman [[Jeffrey Katzenberg]] initially ordering for ''Toy Story'' to be made significantly more liberal in its values by being more "adult, cynical, [and] edgy". This included depicting Woody and the other toys in a significantly more mean-spirited light, with Woody going so far as to actually attempt to murder Buzz with no remorse whatsoever (instead of accidentally knocking Buzz out of the window, as he does in the final film). This caused Toy Story to be almost canceled and Pixar itself to be nearly shut down until the company was given a second chance.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2010/07/07/we-love-pixar-how-hollywood-cynicism-almost-ruined-toy-story-and-pixar/</ref> | | In the first installment, the world's first computer-animated theatrical feature, pull-string cowboy doll Sheriff Woody grows jealous when science fiction hero action figure Buzz Lightyear, who initially believes he is a real space hero, becomes young Andy's favorite toy among the toy community.

| − | ''Toy Story 3'' sees a nearly-grown Andy ready to leave for college and leave most of his toys except Woody in a garbage bag to be stored in his attic, but his mother mistakes it for a bag of real trash. Woody follows the toys as they make their way to a dreadful daycare center, unable to convince them of the misunderstanding. Nihilism and totalitarianism are portrayed in a strongly negative light in the form of Lotso the jealous teddy bear, who denounces all toys as being "destined for the scrapheap" and acts as a brutal dictator over the daycare toys. It also was the third animated film ([[Beauty and the Beast]] and Up) to be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. | + | ''Toy Story 3'' sees a nearly grown Andy ready to leave for college and leave most of his toys except Woody in a garbage bag to be stored in his attic, but his mother mistakes it for a bag of real trash.
