Why I Didn't Let My Daughter Watch The Minions & Monsters Movie

Witchcraft in a trailer built for six-year-olds. So I went and watched the whole thing.My daughter wanted to watch the new Minions movie. I pulled up the trailer to check it first — and less than two minutes in, I felt it. Witchcraft, in a preview for a film rated for six-year-olds.I could've stopped there. Instead, I sent my daughter to camp and went to see the whole movie myself — phone notes in hand — because I wasn't going to build a public conviction on a 90-second clip.In this episode: what's actually in Minions & Monsters, the spellbook and summoning imagery I documented frame by frame, the alcohol-soaked "good life" the film keeps selling as happiness, and the scripture that names both of those patterns plainly — Deuteronomy 18:10-12, Isaiah 5:20, 1 John 2:15-16, and more.This isn't a boycott call. It's a method — how to test a gut reaction instead of either dismissing it or running with it blind. Take it with you to whatever's next on your kid's watch list.Scripture referenced: Deuteronomy 18:10-12 · 2 Corinthians 11:14 · John 8:44 · Isaiah 5:20 · 1 Peter 5:8 · Ephesians 6:12 · 1 John 2:15-16 · Philippians 4:8 · Psalm 101:3So let's go ahead and dive right in.About the host: Whitney Kay is a content & sales strategist in brand partnerships with 15+ years as an entrepreneur and 6+ years leading discipleship and small group ministry.
