[edit] Philip Anschutz

I think something should be mentioned about Philip Anschutz and his ties to right-wing religious organizations and christian activism, given he's in charge of making kids' films. McDanger 16:14, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

I made just such an addition. Any article which makes eleven references to teaching and education demands to have at least one mention of the agenda behind that education. The reference was removed by a frequent editor of the page (Dbthread), his/her argument being that they were changing it to describe what Philip Anschutz does. It seems clear to me that what he does is promote a conservative Christianity through Walden Media; that's his choice, but I feel that to describe the company without any reference to this would be misleading. For this reason I will reinstate my description. (Neilgall 14:51, 13 August 2007 (UTC)).

While I don't disagree that Anschutz's religious views are relevant to the films he chooses to make (Bridge to Terbitihia and Narnia being obvious examples), I feel the article tries to shoehorn it in by saying that "family values have been deemed out of date "; and the lead character chasing the fairer sex" are examples of some sort of Christian agenda. In fact it's actually embarrassing that someone is suggesting that the removal of family values from a film is somehow right-wing Christian propaganda. Surely there are better examples than this to link his beliefs to Walden's business model. Like examples of promotions of films to Christians, etc?(mark_davo 01:15, 18 September 2007 (UTC)).

[edit] The Upcoming Releases List

Is that list to 2023 accurate? I don't mean to doubt whoever added it in, but I've never seen a movie company with quite *that* level of releases planned so far in advance, much less giving that information out to the public. It's worth double-checking to see if all of those are correct, at least beyond 2012. Apologies if the info is fully verified and correct already, but it struck me as a little strange to be so thorough and so far into the future. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.46.200.76 (talk) 14:18, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

If anyone can not disagree should it not be deleted?
