Alright there is no presentation of the Gospel in the Disney movie, but anyone that has ever watched the cartoon version as an adult can recognize some hidden messages, paradoxes, and allegories - especially allegory.
David Jeremiah had a radio spot where he discussed the Cheshire Cat. You know that creepy, decieving, but mysteriously wise (or perhaps not) cat with huge eyes that meets Alice in the forest:
Isn't the cats message true here? That we all know we need to get somewhere, but most generally don't know where that "somewhere" is, so in essence, it doesn't matter what road you choose. Popular opinions say that all roads lead to the same place. Some say all religions are the same, inherintly. Some say all religions have the same message. Only the Christian religion preaches love, boasts a savior, and claims atonement for sin. I dare anyone who reads this to provide me with these provisions in any other religion or theological viewpoint.
Accordingly, Jesus Christ was the only one to claim that he was the Son of God, and that he alone could forgive sins. Islam preaches Jesus as a mere profit, Buddhism says he was wise, and there are over 20,000 gods in other religions. But Jesus is the only person in history to claim "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one can come to the father except through me" (John 14:6), even among all three Abrahamic religions.
There are many signs in the world pointing down many paths.
