Mulan's father prays to his ancestors
==Occult==
==Occult==
While most of WilsonB's edits have been reverted, I have taken a look at the article based on one of his criticisms and he seems to have been warranted in his objection to this (though not his rudeness). This is a Disney film about ancient China - it makes no more sense to call this "occultic" than it does to decry The Beauty and the Beast for having a talking clock or candelabra.

:Wilson was bad-tempered, and I don't believe for a minute that he was ever a conservative, but his point is well-taken.
:*The Ancestors are deceased members of the Fu family that, in a ghost like form, still have very real connections with the living world. In fact, Mulan's father prays to them. [http://www.christiananswers.net/spotlight/movies/pre2000/i-mulan.html Christian Spotlight on the Movies]
:It may be a bit heavy-handed to associate [[ancestor worship]] with the [[occult]], but a bigger question is whether the Chinese "veneration" of ancestors goes this far. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 09:34, 20 January 2010 (EST)
