This seems paranoid to me - quite tame for RR, but still fundie.

Because they all would have been screaming about Jay-Zuz in pre-Christian era Scotland!

Scared that a new (and well-animated) piece of fiction is going to savage your prized piece of fiction? Some faith.

Is it just me or is it possible to interpret the OP's name as Piss take.
Is this person just baiting the RR's?

Um, it's pre-Christian Scotland. What did you THINK they were going to be talking about?
Jeez, these people have almost no concept of any time before Christianty bulldozed its way into the wider world.

How dare they have religions other than Christianity in pre-Christian Scotland!

"It's taught that you should trust the wisps to lead you to a safe place and you can trust them."
It sounds like your mythology, which is filled with spiritism and stupidish thinking.

I wanted to see this movie, and now i want to see it even more.
Honestly pistache, the only thing christianity didnt steal from pre-christian cultures, is the notion that all people are worthless scum that deserve to be tortured forever.

I'm shocked and appalled that a cartoon set in pre-Christian Scotland portrayed religious beliefs other than Christianity! Boycott! BOYCOTT!!!!

Pistache has clearly never read pre-20th century fairytales. They are FULL of magic and "occultic" things. She'd probably wet her pants if she ever read anything like The Goose Girl or The Six Swans.

Fundy is frightened and threatened by something that every sane person in the world knows is pure fiction #910293847583958903958382717383949112484850843

"darkish"? Dark ... ish? Isn't that just a little stupidesque?
...
So anything that appears to validate some other superstitious fiction is heretical? Is that how it works? Do you have the same trouble distinguishing Pinocchio and the Blue Fairy from reality?

"to the point that I felt it was preachy."
You people lost the right to comment on anyone's preachiness long ago.

Oh come on. Fairy tales (at least the modern versions) are all like this. Honestly, at this point I'm surprised he doesn't care that the movie has a strong female lead character. I would think a fundie would be siding with Elinor up until the spoilers happen.
Also... why, in the name of all that is good and holy, did the Ruptured Retard feel it necessary to describe the hair of an adolescent, animated fictional character? What does that tell us about him?

The CGI on her hair is really, really good. It's just an aesthetic appreciation, I wouldn't read anything sinister into it.

Human hair is very difficult to do properly in computer animation. That's why it took Pixar so long to do their first film with primarily human leads (The Incredibles) and even then, the hair was often kinda Ken doll-looking.
In Brave, though, Merida has absolutely gorgeous, flowing, curly red hair. It would be impressive work from the stylists if it were a live-action movie, and for a CGI movie, it's jaw-dropping.
Oh, it's also a darn good movie.

While I like a good fairy tale,
Well, fairy tales, yeah, but not necessarily good ones, you bet your bippy, Christer.

He likes redheads. So do I. I'm still in lust for Jessica Rabbit.
I plead insanity.
Insanity?
That's right, insanity. I'm just crazy about that stuff.

I'm surprised they went to see it at all.

I can't imagine how awful it must be to live like these people, where you can't enjoy freaking anything because it's "occultic" or has gay people in it or whatever. Why would a person voluntarily imprison their own mind like that?

I never cease to be amazed by how hard it is for you folks to tell the difference between fantasy and reality. Every - and I mean literally every movie, book, play, whatever that has any sort of non-Christian theme is taken by you as a sign of indoctrination. To the rest of us, it's perfectly obvious that it's just fiction, and a part of storytelling. We realize that there's no wizardry school in England teaching children to cast spells, or attempts to get video gamers to worship goddesses, or movie makers trying to make small children follow druidic beliefs - they're just stories.
Why can't you accept that?

Really? Really? It's a STORY. A fantasy STORY. Why do people like this always pull out "the occult" stick out of their ass whenever it pleases them?

I was expecting a more spittle flecked rant for the first fundie review of "Brave". This one leaves me vaguely unsatisfied.
I'm sure we'll see better over the next month

It seems to me that pistache really enjoyed the movie but had to throw in some weird caveats because it wasn't explicitly pro-Christian. It's kind of sad, really.

You must think eight year olds are amazingly stupid to think wispy lights will lead them to a safe place because it said so in a cartoon.
