mcityJust because The Princess and the Frog has voodoo in it does not mean it actually glorifies it. In fact, the primary voodoo-using-guy is the main villain, and the ultimate consequence of his actions is that he's dragged into Hell after all his deals and schemes catch up with him. Yes, he dealt with familiar spirits, but this is clearly portrayed as a Bad Thing. Also, the average American kid isn't going to be able to walk down Main Street, into a shop, and get their Hoo-Doo on.

Dear LoTR fandom,
There is an analysis page for the series on TVTropes. Does it have anything about the themes of responsibility and duty in the series, or the Messianic archetype Frodo represents? Nope, it's about how Frodo and Sam were totally in love, y'all, no matter what Tolkien himself said. Not that their relationship isn't slashy, but don't you have anything more substantial than two short passages from a series that clocks in at over 1000 pages, both of which can be explained away in about five seconds by someone without slash goggles on?
This is why we can' have nice things.
