Is "Lilo And Stitch" Jw propaganda?

I heard a rumour that Prince actually contributed some incidental music to the Disney flick Lilo And Stitch . Is this true? Apparently, the screen writer is a JW friend of Prince's, and Prince agreed to score some of the film (anonymously) because he thought it sent a message about "the truth" to young people. Is this film pushing the JW agenda?

Me and my kids went to see this movie when it first came out. Only message I got was "family-stays together" as Lilo and her older sister are orphans. Stitch is cute.

I read something about that before... I didn't know if it was true or not. The article said that the "Stitch" character's conversion from a destructive monster to a loving friend was a metaphor for his conversion from his Catholic faith to being a Jehovah's Witness.

The article also said that the Elvis songs were Prince's idea and that Prince was a huge fan of "The King" and wanted to share his love of Elvis as well as his love for the "one true god."

Oh my Jehovah! My friend Jessie is buying this movie for her little girl. I must warn her. I can't believe Prince is trying to brainwash harmless innocent children now.

Ohana means family? or does it have a much darker meaning?

Due to Prince's involvement with the movie, "Ohana" could have a tie-in to Prince's "fam" community, better known as the Jehovah's Witnesses, therefore "Ohana" means "one who worships the one true god and calls him by his rightful name."

I heard through my friends' horse's ass that Prince was a "gaffer" for the movie "Home Fries" with Drew Barrymore and that he contributed all the religious references in the movie because he's such a crazed religious fanatic, don'tchaknow?

Geez, I wish Prince would just stop throwing this stuff in my face!

who cares if he did or not? and also saying his ideas of God, whether they're pushy or not is not brain-washing. if parents don't want their kids to see that, then they can deal with it. if they don't notice it, then I don't think it makes that much of difference. personally, I doubt that Disney would dare risk aligning themselves with JW. considering that everyone thinks they're satan incarnate. sad huh? oh that's right, to most of you that isn't sad. sorry, this upsets me.

That would only be true if Stitch was holding a briefcase of some sort. smile

But really, if Prince was gonna contribute some music to a movie, I hope he gets a chance to do an extra soundtrack for Star Wars Episode III. Imagine the lightsaber duels and the extinction of the Jedi Knights with Prince's gut-wrenching guitar solos in the background.

What do you think? John Williams orchestra soundtrack, and a second disc w/Prince music in the last installment of the prequel? That would be something to behold...
