Intteresting. Of course someone just had to make the comparison to evangelicals. I can honestly say that evangelicals do not think that Tom and Jerry is a conspiracy of any sort. Just mean little cartoons. I did read some o fthe comments. Intteresting. Of course someone just had to make the comparison to evangelicals.

Shows you the quality of research these people put into concocting their swill. Tom & Jerry was the work of Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera when they were working for MGM's animation studio, before they went on to create The Flintstones, Yogi Bear, etc. Disney had nothing to do with it. “… ascribed to Walt Disney” ??
