What You Need To Know:
PROP CULTURE, a new documentary series streaming on Disney+ that follows host Dan Lanigan as he hunts down props from some of Disney’s more recent iconic movies. The show is both whimsical and nostalgic, reminding younger viewers of childhood memories associated with movies like THE MUPPET MOVIE, MARY POPPINS, TRON, and THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE. Each episode focuses on a popular Disney movie. Dan reunites the props with the actors, musicians and choreographers who brought the props to life.
PROP CULTURE features a strong moral worldview overall. As the Disney actors and filmmakers discuss the props, viewers are transported to scenes from the original movies, which sometimes include churches, steeples or crosses. One episode even contains a positive reference to Heaven. The bulk of the episodes are very lighthearted. However, some scenes from THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS and the first PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN movie are a little intense and may scare small children. Light occult elements are seen in footage from one movie. Overall, MOVIEGUIDE® recommends discernment for younger children for brief scary scenes and a few light profanities.
