It expands the imaginination! It tells kids to look outside the box, cause you'll never know what you might find.
You could say the same thing for people that grew up in a non-religious home, and become a Christian. Then they are the crazy ones that don't believe something(like there is no God).
It tells kids that you can believe what you want to believe and with that belief

And what about the negative opinions and poor treatment of those that doubt belief?

That gets it in the kids' heads that if they challenge a belief, they will be looked upon poorly by others, therefore they just toe the line and go along with everyone else.

That mentality creates fearful sheep. It does not open minds.

I disagree completely that these movies stifle curiousity or instill fear to challenge beliefs. On the contrary I think they encourage kids to open their minds and think of things that society would tell them is nonsense.

Kids know the difference between fantasy and reality. If they didn't, the news would be filled with kids jumping from apartment windows daily, or making magic

Again--taken out of context instead of addressing the actual issue. Why does that seem to happen over and over on this site?

Of course believing and trusting in one's self is important. Yes, my children strive to achieve goals, even one's some think are impossible. But they don't climb up into a tree and jump out because they 'believe' they can fly like Peter Pan! <

Oh, but belief is a power that all children and adults should have. Too believe in something, anything is what makes it real. Without belief you remain stagnant and achieve nothing.

Henry Ford was correct when he said, “Whether you think you can or think you can’t – you are right.”

Belief creates, belief achieves, belief in yourself and the impossible is what makes
