Disney and Pixar have been major influences in my life, and many others as well. No matter how old or new, these companies know how to toy with your emotions. You can laugh, cry, understand the adult jokes, and most importantly see the underlying message. These films have taught me more life lessons than my parent's if we're being honest.

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did.
