A local Christian primary school is doing a production of Cinderella.
... but without the magic!
No Fairy Godmother!
No pumpkin turning into a coach!
It seems there is an anti-magic movement within Christianity that is gaining ground.

I also know of Christians who got very upset over the film "The Passion of the Christ".

Originally posted by divegeesterI thought it was a great film, I was in tears watching it. I don't see why Christians would be upset with the film.

Originally posted by divegeesterAs I recall, mostly jews were upset with that movie.
The film was highly controversial for a number perspectives, I'm surprised you didn't hear about it.
Here's an excellent review of the movie:

Christians really should be more upset with the movie, if it's not true to the gospels. I guess that goes to show the ignorance among christians about their own gospels.
Anyway, I love the end of the review:
Many years ago I met with Ernest Hemingway. In a remarkably frank conversation, the Pulitzer Prize winner confessed to me that there was something about Judaism that he admired more than any other religion. “From my understanding,” he told me, “Judaism, unlike the Christianity in which I was raised, is a religion of life, not a religion of death.”
That brilliant insight is what I wish Jews would stress as the ultimate reason why we can’t relate to a film that is preoccupied with nine hours of dying. “Choose life” is the cardinal message of our religion. A movie that celebrates death, produced under the Icon Films label, can only make me regret as a Jew that Gibson didn’t take to heart the Biblical prohibition of the Second Commandment: “Thou shalt not make for yourself any icons.”

Originally posted by robbie carrobieThe graphic violence was only one controversy with the film. There were many other far more interesting topics than what is already depicted in the Bible, although I'm not surprised this is the one you would pick up on.
