see Little Mermaid. I was like, "Really? A cartoon?"

We watched it and I remember being slightly amused by the movie but didn't see why all the girls in the group were raving about it.

Then over time, I started to see the same behavior by BYU coeds towards any Disney movie. I always thought it was kinda weird.

I know several Mormons and non who don’t like Grease’s central message

I wouldn't guess religious people would love Grease.
