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.
