BellaOnline Forums Religion and Spirituality Wicca Wicca in kids cartoons.

So has any one else seen that in the newer Scooby-Doo animated movies and Simpsons episodes Wicca is "explained". In Scooby-Doo there is a goth rock band comprised of three women that claim to be Wiccan, this band is in at least two of these movies. This trio's version is comparable to the movie "The Craft" Simpsons on the other hand has decided to make Lisa a Wiccan and for the most part I have yet to see anything offensive from the show. If any thing christanity takes quiet a beating.

Sulverna - My kids and I happened to watch that episode of Scooby Doo on Netflicks a few weeks ago. I can't remember the exact name of it but I know Witch was in the title. At first I was like "oh brother, here we go." But I was pleasantly surprised by it. I hadn't heard Lisa Simpson is Wiccan but then again I don't allow my kids to watch that show. There used to be a Druid website years ago that detailed the similiarities between the Smurfs and Druidism. I will have to go try to find it now. I think it is great that we are getting little hints of exposure in cartoons. I think it helps children being raised Wiccan or Pagan to feel like their religion is being accepted a little by the media.

On a side note, I see you are in Ohio. I am in Cincinnati!

Here is the link for Druid Smurf. The background is a little hard on the eyes though.

Ok the band is called Hex Girls and they appearer first appear in "The witches Ghost" and then make a second appearance as one of the bands in music competition in "The legend of the Vampire" The Simpsons episode is called "Rednecks and Broomsticks" To Leslie - Columbus
