10 Times Disney Inspired Us To Be Better Humans
Collider

1. The Lion King

The Lion King is the perfect example of rising to the occasion of what you were born to do. A great source of inspiration. Simba never let us down and showed us that we can all become the best version of ourselves and what we are meant to be.

2. Finding Nemo

Finding Nemo taught us that no matter how bad things get, we have to keep going. Eventually, it will get better.

3. Brave

Brave may not be the most popular of Disney movies, but it does teach us some very good lessons. Merida inspires us all by saying that you don't have to accept a fate you do not want. You write your own destiny and make your own path.

4. Mulan

Thank you, Mulan, for showing us that you don't have to be just like everyone else. You can be your own person and be just as, if not more incredible.

5. The Princess and The Frog

The Princess and The Frog reminds us that success takes a lot of hard work, dedication and sacrifice, and sometimes the end result is even better than you could've imagined.

6. Hercules

Girl Power! Meg from Hercules inspires girls everyday to be their own knight in shining armor.

7. Ratatouille

Ratatouille teaches us that it does not matter where you come from or who you are born as. You can be anything you want to be and make it out of whatever situation you are stuck in.

8. Cinderella

Classic Disney. Cinderella reminds us all that if you just stay positive and your heart is in the right place, your dreams will come true someday.

9. Moana

I could not write this list without including Moana. She teaches all of the little (and big) kids that sometimes we are chosen for destinies that seem too great to accomplish. But you are as great as you allow yourself to be. You've got this.

10. Winnie The Pooh

Last but not least, Winnie the Pooh proves to you that you are "Braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think." If you can take his advice you can accomplish absolutely anything.


The inspiration we can get from Disney movies is just another one of the million things that make me love it so much. I hope this article brightened your day just a little bit and inspired you to either go out and do something amazing, or to stay home and binge watch your favorite Disney movies!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
