You wake up at seven, take a shower, eat breakfast, get dressed, and head to work or to class. You work on your seemingly endless tasks until whenever it is you finally get to punch the clock (not quite as literally as some may like) and make your commute to home or a dorm. Now, what is it that you do with your evening? You should probably scrounge something up for dinner. Maybe you want to crack open that novel that has stared at you from the bedside table for the past week, but your eyes are tired from staring at words and numbers all day, so maybe another time. What is there to do? Maybe you want to watch some TV, but what is there on that is good to watch? I would have to suggest children's movies.

"But Faith, you're nineteen and in college, what do you still watch children's movies for? There is better, more mature content out there, like "American Horror Story," or "Orange is the New Black," try watching those shows instead of "Nightmare Before Christmas" for the 1,000th time."

My answer will always be no, children's movies are the best movies, here's why:

1. There is always a happy ending.

I don't know about everyone else, but the world kicks me down now and then. Watching the news simultaneously depresses and angers me to no end, school work piles up to a mountain that becomes harder and harder to climb, and balancing a social schedule absolutely kills me. Every now and then, I just need a happy ending, one that I know will be there. Sure, nine times out of ten, most television shows and movies have happy endings, but there is never the guarantee that there will be (unless it is Nicolas Sparks, but even then, he has his one in one hundred deaths). For instance, with the movie "Up" (which is about the accidental adventure of a grumpy old man and a boy scout) you know that, despite their differences, in the end, they will be the best of friends. This is a good, wholesome, children's movie I can count on that there will be a happy ending.

2. The plot twists will be held at a minimum.

While a good dose of suspense now and then is sometimes what makes or breaks a show or movie, it is not always what my heart can handle after the suspense of my life. After the drama my day has already been, the last thing I really need is to be thrown into the plot twists and turns of the latest violent and sex-filled movie that is out there. What I really need is some ice-cream and the gentle predictability that was my youth. Now, there is still excitement in children's movies, as well as the occasional adult joke thrown into the mix to amuse parents who are dragged along, and there are times when characters will die. But I can be safe in my knowledge that it will always be for the better, and that it will never include my OTP (one true pair, a.k.a. my favorite ship). "Mulan," the action-packed classic, proves this point well. The straightforward plot line is predictable in its twists and turns. Part of you knows all along what is happening.

3. There is always a moral.

In today's society of grey morals and ever-changing ideals, it is nice to see a clear right and wrong every once in a while. It is refreshing to see a hero from humble beginnings start on his or her journey for the sole purpose of it being the right thing to do. It brings tears to my eyes to watch an originally evil main character change his or her ways and see the light of the good side of life. At the end of the day, I always walk away with a long-forgotten moral from my younger years on how hopeful and beautiful the world can be if I just make it that way. After the anger and after the pain, after the sadness and after the evils, there is always good, and there is always hope. Netflix's "The Little Prince," draws such morals in stone through the adventures of a girl on her way to becoming the best adult she can be in a society obsessed by production and production only. (Sound familiar?)

4. Everyone gets what they deserve.

Good. Bad. Indifferent. It does not matter. In the end, your just desserts are just what you have bargained for and quite often ironic in theme. There are never loose ends to tie up (unless a sequel is being pitched), and even then, you can always live without the sequel when it comes to children's movies. They are not the young adult trilogies which leave you needing the next three hours of the movie right then and there without potty or food break. The endings to children's movies are simple, heartfelt, and conclude everything with a beautiful bow on top. The latest children's movie I have seen, "Kubo and the Two Strings," (which is still out in theaters) executes this ideal well. While what everyone deserves may not be what you have in mind at the beginning, you will surely understand that everyone got their just desserts by the end of the movie.

5. They are cute.

The world can be ugly, and it can become difficult to see the beauty in it now and then. There is no shame in the fact that, now and then, you may need the simplicity of a children's movie to open your eyes to it and stop being so cynical. Cute characters and loving relationships with little to no problems are littered everywhere. Even if the bad-guy is the evilest of evils, you can always count on the fact that you will not be able to completely hate him or her because he or she will have that side-kick you cannot help but adore with unrelenting sarcasm and comic relief. Just like Gru's minions in "Despicable Me." You cannot help but just love the little guys, violent tendencies and all. Sometimes, you just need more cuteness in your life.

6. Love conquers all.

No matter what, the OTP ships. You know the love triangle will sift out the clearly evil counterpart for the goofy one who is clearly in true love. Even the love of mother and father, the love of brother and sister, conquers the evils of the world. The true love that is clearly present is the rose-colored kind of love that children always have. Sometimes, we need to remember that we once had that. Sometimes, we need to remember what it was to love to unflinchingly. The Fox and the Hound, my childhood favorite, is the perfect example of that unflinching love. In the face of danger, in the face of their very natures, Todd the fox and Copper the dog become best friends and stay best friends to the end. Children's movies paint that picture for us with clear-cut line and vibrant colors. It is something the world needs.

So, the next time you are looking for a movie, what are you going to do? I hope you will get some ice cream, pull up whatever movie carrier you possess, and scroll through the children's section. I promise you, it will help your soul if you only let it.
