One of my most frequently asked questions in my dissection of the arts and culture for motherhood is - what children’s movies do I like?

Today, it is Pete’s Dragon (2016). Whenever you criticize Disney’s joyless and impotent live action remakes I’ll join you, but we won’t forget the close to single anomaly, Pete’s Dragon. It reminded me of a work of C.S. Lewis.
Only the divine can defeat suffering. The amount of biblical themes in this movie shocked me. Was it really only in 2016 mainstream cinema could make something that was not liberal propaganda?
