...release The Prince of Egypt, the Moses musical that DreamWorks insiders have drolly tagged The Zion King. To build early support for his chancy project, which has no merchandising tie-ins, Katzenberg has shown clips to religious leaders, from eminent rabbis to rabid Evangelicals like Jerry Falwell and Donald Wildmon. The real test, though, is to make The Prince of Egypt not like Sunday school but powerful and fun. "If you're a disbeliever," says a crew member, "you can see it as a fairy tale." DreamWorks then moves from the mountain to the anthill for a computerized comedy, Antz...
...brought predictable applause from the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, which is building a national "Come Out with Ellen" day around the episode; and predictable denunciations from the Rev. Jerry Falwell, who referred to the star in gentlemanly fashion as "Ellen DeGenerate," and from the Rev. Donald E. Wildmon, whose American Family Association has issued barely veiled threats to boycott Ellen's advertisers. A stalwart ABC says it nevertheless expects that Ellen will be fully sponsored, although two occasional advertisers on Ellen, J.C. Penney and Chrysler, have announced they won't continue to sponsor the show. This can't have...

Conservative groups accuse him of devil worship. Two weeks ago, the band's Oklahoma City concert was picketed by Donald Wildmon's American Family Association...
...conscience that forced Klein to end the campaign. Stephen Watson, chairman of Dayton Hudson's department-store division, asked that his stores' names not be associated with the ads. At least one major magazine, Seventeen, refused to carry the campaign. Donald Wildmon's American Family Association wrote to 50 retailers, threatening a boycott of their stores. Pickets were expected at the opening of Klein's flagship emporium in Manhattan on Sept. 7. That was enough for Klein to conclude that his message--"the inner worth of today's young people"--wasn't flying...
...Newt and his -oids resent PBS's small measure of independence from "market forces"--from corporate and hence, ultimately, political control. More important still, the Republicans want a carcass they can toss to their extreme right. The Christian Coalition and other Fundamentalists, such as the Rev. Donald Wildmon's religious hit squad, the American Family Association, believe PBS is a factory of pinko, homosexual, you-name-it agitprop and want to see it abolished for love of censorship...
