''It's the circle, the circle of life''
Oh wow. How i miss being a carefree child---watching classic Disney movies all day!
*SIGH*
I think the lessons those movies thaught us were INVALUABLE!
I mean, consider the children of today, having to grow up with role-models such as 'Ben 10' and 'Bratz'---i feel so sorry for them! That's exactly why they are so..aggressive? rude? mature?
I can tell you, my role-models were Jasmine (the independent princess who refused to have an arranged marriage--but rather--followed her heart), Ariel (who was so determined to be a human---she never gave up, even if it meant sacrificing everything she had), Cinderella (who was treated to badly by her own family, but perservered through it and never gave up) and ofcourse, Poccahontas (who stayed true to her culture and background and defended her people, even if it meant she was treated as a 'savage'). They are true representatives of the 21st century women, whom every young girl should strive to be like.
My favourite movies were definately 'The Lion King', 'The Little Mermaid', 'Alladin', 'Cinderella' and 'Poccahontas' to name a few.
I think that even though it is seen as naive and ignorant to think that 'Happily Ever Afters' really do happen, the possibility and hope that Disney movies gives every child is priceless--and, well, how can we be suuure that happily-ever-afters are impossible....
