The streaming platform has greenlit production on a new German original series called \u201cPauline.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to <em><a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2023\/04\/disney-greenlights-german-original-about-pregnant-teen-who-falls-in-love-with-the-devil-how-to-sell-drugs-online-fast-netflix-1235318430\/\">Deadline<\/a>,<\/em> the series follows an 18-year-old girl that becomes pregnant after a one-night stand with the devil. The series\u2019 creators, who are behind Netflix\u2019s\u00a0\u201cHow to Sell Drugs Online (Fast),\u201d said the project is \u201cvery close\u201d to their hearts. Philipp K\u00e4\u00dfbohrer and Matthias Murmann noted, \u201cFor a long time, the series has been and remains a project very close to our hearts. We\u2019re thrilled that Disney+ loves this coming-of-age story as much as we do and that we\u2019ve been able to begin filming with such an amazing cast and crew.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Disney\u2019s \u201ccoming-of-age\u201d movies have been out of touch with what parents want their kids to see, pushing content with themes surrounding violence, witchcraft, and sex. Last year, Disney lost over $100 million each for their animated films \u201cStrange World\u201d and \u201cLightyear,\u201d which showed on-screen same-sex relationships.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8R8HDKbeeaM\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>MovieGuide founder and chairman Ted Baehr wants parents to petition Disney+ to stop the release of \u201cPauline\u201d on the platform. He shared, \u201cWe can\u2019t let this twisted and disturbing content corrupt our children\u2019s values and beliefs. Baehr added, \u201cLet me be clear. Pauline is not just another piece of entertainment,\u201d Baehr added. \u201cHorrifically, this series even portrays Satan as a romantic partner! By normalizing and promoting such a relationship, Pauline sends a dangerous message to young viewers that associating with demons, Satan, and evil is acceptable and even desirable!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Baehr added that MovieGuide is collaborating with Citizen-go to stop the series from premiering on Disney+. He warned, \u201cIf released, there will be millions of young viewers who may perceive this twisted and disturbing story as desirable and exciting. The show\u2019s attempt to normalize and even promote demonic association is a blatant attempt to blur the lines of morality and make evil desirable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cWe must act now to petition Disney to reconsider their decision to platform this evil show. We need to inform the studios that there are still discerning viewers and parents who won\u2019t allow this content to be viewed by our children.\u201d Baehr said \u201cPauline\u201d might not be released yet, but the group can still stop the show from progressing any further if they act fast.<\/p>\n<p>Disney+ should do what it can to prevent this show from continuing its production to protect children from being exposed to a series about Satan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MovieGuide, a family-friendly entertainment organization, recently sounded the alarm regarding a new campaign against an upcoming Disney+ series featuring a teenage girl\u2019s love affair with Satan.
