‘Mummy’ Christian activist group One Million Moms has branded new Disney cartoon The Owl House ‘demonic’ for depicting a child wanting to learn to become a witch.

The Owl House, which launched in the US last month, has been slammed by the Christian group who posted a warning about its contents online as ‘making light of hell’.

The show follows teen girl Luz Noceda who falls through a portal into another world, and decides to go on adventures there.

Befriending Eda the Owl Lady, she soon becomes an apprentice to the mage in her Owl House, in order to come into her abilities and help fight evil that comes her way.




But One Million Moms thinks that the cartoon was ‘inundating young minds with secular world views that reflect the current culture’ and that Disney was ‘stepping into the darkness’ by promoting it.

The post on their blog reads: ‘The Bible tells us clearly in Isaiah 8:19-22 that there is a spiritual realm that is not of God.

‘It warns us not to participate in witchcraft or consult with mediums but to call on God.

‘Deuteronomy 18:10-11 also warns us to avoid witchcraft in all forms.’

Just short of 16,000 people have signed the petition in a bid to get it cancelled – because people care that much about a cartoon fantasy show.

Disney have yet to publicly comment on the petition, but the show has already been renewed for a second season.

Metro.co.uk has contacted Disney for comment.
