Why We'll Never Be Too Old For Classic Disney Movies

In This Article:

Blame the nostalgia or blame my mother's endless array of old Disney films. Either way, I'll never give up on classic Disney. These were the shows that made up our childhood and broke ground for the hit shows that we have today. No matter how many times they remake these movies, Ill continue to watch the original and occasionally give the replication a chance.

At 22 years of age, I am still the same little girl who calls her big sister to quote Hercules, surf through Netflix to re-watch Beauty and The Beast for the millionth time and cry at the sad parts while smiling at the sappy love scenes. Here are the reasons why I would never give up on classic Disney.

They give us something to hold on to

When watching a Disney film we all feel a little piece of ourselves slip back into the hands of time. This is a time where we can laugh carelessly and enjoy the warm feels of honey and joy.

Valuable lessons are always instilled

Whether it be Mufasa's infamous "Remember who you are" or Timon to Pumbas' "Hakuna Matata" .. You'll never forget a Disney quote.

Love always wins

Of course you have the classic love story, one person is swooned by another ... and they live happily ever after... This always gives us something to look forward to. The little girl awaiting her prince charming or the woman who purchases the Cinderella gown for her big day. We're constantly inspired by the love of these animations.

Crank up the closed captioning and lets get moving! Most of us don't need it but you can admit that it heightens a great deal of excitement within us!

Even the grumps are adorable 

Oh grumpy you dwarf , you. How could we ever not like you? The epitome of someone mean wrapped in a ball of love is usually what these characters are. Deep down, they are all the same.

The Epitome Of Story-Telling

Classic Disney has a way of telling a story within a story. They captured viewers by making us believe that these stories were true! We all believed that a boy could be raised with love in a jungle, that a mermaid could marry a human and live life freely and ultimately that genuine heart could turn any beast into a prince. This my friends is the beauty of classic Disney.

AI music threatens creativity

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.

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.
