Brush up on your Disney

Aladdin, Pochantas, Mulan, Peter Pan, The Little Mermaid, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty- all are classic Disney movies that have touched millions of not only children’s hearts, but adults.

Walt Disney once said, “Movies can and do have tremendous influence in shaping young lives in the realm of entertainment towards the ideals and objectives of normal adulthood.” These films are not just made for entertainment; they are made for learning as well.

I think everyone should brush up on their Disney movies every once in a while. They bring back the feeling of being a kid again, of wishing on a star, finding the beauty in a beast, never wanting to grow up and being a best friend. Disney movies have helped shape my childhood. I’ll never forget going to my first movie at the movie theater when I was 5 years old and seeing The Lion King. I was frightened, scared yet, happy at the same time singing along to Hakunamatata.

When you watch them it takes you back to that place when you were 5 and had no cares in the world and you wanted to be Princess Jasmine on the carpet singing your heart out. It’s good to re-watch these movies because they ALWAYS have a happy ending, so next time you are sad, you should probably watch a Disney movie.
