8. Disney’s The Lion King: Why do I class this as a Pagan/Heathen friendly movie? Primarily I do so because so much of the film deals with interconnectedness to the natural world, and moreover with ancestor veneration. We even have a shaman figure. There’s a fine thread of reverence and respect for the ancestors running throughout this film and moreover, when that balance is upset, when that thread is broken by neglect for tradition and the natural order of things, it shows the devastation (in the form of famine and drought) that may ensue. Plus, it’s especially nice in that it’s one you can watch with your kids. That’s not the case with many of my favorite Pagan/Heathen movies!
