Disney’s Cinderella has some extremely dark moments. The stepmother is the most evil character in the Disney movies, and she is made far more frightening by the fact that she speaks so kindly to Cinderella that Cinderella doesn’t recognize her evil. Yes, you may go to the ball, she says with a smile. But first Cinderella must finish some chores… Moreover the stepmother is beautiful, unlike her children, and that can hide her wickedness. (Many movies make the evil characters obvious by making them ugly.) Cruella de Vil is so obviously villain that she is not nearly as formidable or frightening.Cinderella’s stepmother teaches that you need to beware of seemingly nice people.I would say that the wicked queen in Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is a close second, although she turns ugly before she does her most evil deeds.

A 12-year-old boy wanted to live with his father instead of his mother. The judge had already made a decision before the case was called. Nonetheless, he wanted the 12-year-old to explain his request (paraphrasing), “It’s so much fun with my dad. He lives on a sail boat and travels all over the place writing about it. He lets me stay up as late as I want, we get to go to all kinds of neat places and I don’t have to do a lot of stupid chores.” When he finished the judge said, “Your dad loves you so much he has come here today asking to have you be with him all of the time. You love your dad and have a lot of fun visiting when you are out of school on vacation. I know you would like nothing better than living with him full time. It says here your grades are good and you don’t get into trouble . You are progressing very well in karate, and are liked by other children in your church’s youth group. Your mother does admits she makes you do homework and chores.”The judge commended the parents for going beyond the court ordered visitation and successfully co-parenting. At this point the parents exchanged knowing looks, each confident they would get the decision they hoped for. The judge continued, “Son, I know you are going to be disappointed now, but when you get older you’ll be thankful for my decision. Young man, you will remain in your mother’s custody (the boy starts to cry)”. His final comment was something to the effect of, “I think this decision is in the best interests of all parties” Both parents were thrilled with the ruling and went to comfort the boy.
