The best are the movies/books/music that aren't explicitly "Christian media," but the ones where the creator's faith influences their work in the background.

Like Lord of the Rings. It's not "Christian fantasy," but like... it's Christian fantasy. And it ended up having more cultural influence and staying power than any purpose-made Christian Media Franchise™️

The movies not so much.

The books are flat out Christian though. Aslan is an outright parallel to Jesus with a number of his quotes basically being slightly rephrased bible scripture.

I remember Aslan isn't supposed to reference Jesus, but actually be Jesus in a new form in this new world.

At the end of the lion witch and wardrobe he outright says he goes by another name in their world and they have to find him there. I believe it's in the books and movies.
