This movie is awful. However, for reasons unbeknown to me, my kid likes this movie.
*Spoiler* You have been warned.
To respond to a few of the reviews, in the context of the movie, it makes sense that the old guy would hide the book in the church, given that most people in previous generations went to church - even if they weren't 'believers'.
People are correct when they say that all viewers aren't Christian, but it is also correct to point out that a lot of Disney viewers are Christians and support the Disney brand because they tend to be family-friendly.
It's a delicate line movie makers walk to tell their stories. I'm not sure how you'd tell this particular story and exclude the church and the "good/evil" element. It would have lost a lot of its 'punch'.
Honestly, I thought this scene w/the old man and the kids in the church was the best part of the movie. Besides the end.
