Hocus Pocus Movie Repeats the Word Virgin Around Kids

Hi, this complaint is about that 1993 movie Hocus Pocus. It contains extremely inappropriate words like "virgin" and what kids call the H word. It's about a boy moving to Salem I think and there are these 3 witches that were put to sleep for 300 years. The only way that they could possibly come back is if a "virgin" lit a candle. They continued to repeat that word for 4 or 5 more times.

What made it even worse is that a 6 or 7 year old character knew what it meant. When they mentioned it my 6 year old baby cousin asked what that meant and of course I couldn't tell him. Last of all, there are references to the devil, fire, and hell in the movie a lot. Disney, are you serious? This experience made me forget how Disney channel used to be for children.
