From the first post until the eleventh post, we can include the Disney film are wise, funny and visually stunning that is perfect for the family. Or maybe.... they are sappy and sentimental and brainwashing kids with all American values? Everyone has their own opinion regarding of the all movies that released by the Walt Disney Company, beginning with 'Snow White' in 1937 and hitting new heights with last year's box office bonanza 'Frozen'. What cannot be denied is how loved these films are in every corner of the globe. But which Disney movies deserve a place on your DVD shelf and which are best forgotten?
There's lot of new things we can learn from Disney movies like Cinderella taught us that a dream that we wish will come true. Snow White taught us that hard work is easier to finish with a smile and songs. The Little Mermaid taught us to get out of our comfort zones and learn new things. Beauty and The Beast that we need to look past appearances in order to truly love someone and Frozen taught us that love can thaw a frozen heart.
Starting from Snow White, we can see that princess was imagines as a weak person. They need prince to help, protect and escape them from any obstacles. This shown to children that every girl needs a man who can protect her. But, this common view been changed on Brave. Merida is imagined as a very tough girl that can face her problems by her own self. Frozen had also changed the common view from the kids where Elsa and Anna work together to find the solutions for Elsa's problems. They don't even need a prince to settle it.
Other than that, in Disney movies show the stupidest person in the house are the parents while the smartest are the children. In the movies every main character is either an orphan or their parents die in movie. So, their message is clear. Kids are best when the parents are dead or gone and the logical conclusion is not to listen to your parents. Also the movies show that something completely unbelievable with every child owning a phone, computer, TV and of course the latest mall clothes while you will NEVER see anyone with pimples, in a wheelchair, or ugly unless they are the nerd who is recognized by wearing sunglasses and ugly clothes.
All in all, like what had repeated in every post, every good has it's own bad, every pros has cons, every nice has bad. All of these are getting different perspective from each different person. It's depends on person on how they see it and on how they control it. The most important is, children need parents guidance when watching all Disney Movies and the most important is parents need to pay attention on what their children watch and correcting any bad perspective from their child. If you already usually hear 'every good has it's own bad', now you can remember new thing, 'every problems have it's own solutions'.
