(OPINION) There’s been no shortage of conversation and debate surrounding Disney Pixar’s new animated film “Turning Red.” The movie, a coming-of-age story about a 13-year-old girl named Meilin who starts magically turning into a giant red panda, has one pastor warning about its themes and asking, “Is it demonic?”
Mike Signorelli, the senior pastor of V1 Church in New York City, recently released a video on social media taking parents through his spiritual concerns over the film and the reasons he concluded it’s simply not a kids’ movie.
“I believe that every parent — not just a pastor, but a parent — has a mandate to actually screen material,” Signorelli told CBN’s Faithwire. “Because every single device you have in your home is a portal, either a window into the things of God or, unfortunately, things that I believe are demonic.”
The preacher said he is the parent of a young child and wanted to screen “Turning Red” to understand its contents better. Watch Signorelli detail his warnings:
