Narnia and the SBC Disney Boycott

The American Familiy Association announced last month that it had ended its 8-year long boycott of Disney, citing, among other things, the upcoming production of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe as evidence that the boycott had been effective. Now the governing body of the Southern Baptist Convention has likewise overwhelmingly voted to end its own long-running Disney boycott. A spokesman for the SBC did note that the denomination will continue to keep a close eye on Disney, particularly watching to see if Disney has messed with C.S. Lewis' seminal children's story.

I guess the Narnia film is just going to be this year's must-see for Christian conservatives.

Our detailed comments on the boycott and Disney have already appeared on this blog.
