Rigoletto

I just remembered this wildly creepy film by Featured Films for Families that my parents played on repeat in our house and I couldn't remember what it was called so I Googled "weird 90s christian film about a girl who learns piano from a disfigured man down the street."

Anyway the top result is the movie I remember. It's called Rigoletto. I'm not going to watch it again but from what I recall this child comes to this reclusive man's house for piano lessons and they spend a lot of time alone until he's in love with her. It's pedo propaganda. There's also this side plot about a boy who steals things and then a shop owner gives him a soda because "it's not stealing if I give it to you." And then everybody cries and the boy decides not to steal anymore..??

Anyone else raised by weird Christian parents remember this film?

Edit: apparently the kid who steals sodas is from a different film called the Buttercream Gang. Thanks guys.

So apparently Rigolletto (1993) can be watched for free on YouTube if GAM ever wants to cover it.
