A couple days ago during Chinese class we each gave an oral presentation on our favorite movie. I of course, shared about American History X (just one of many favorites). One of the other students began sharing about his favorite movie "Beauty and Beast."
As he was sharing about the plot, I began thinking to myself, "Yah, that was a great movie." I had watched it and several other Disney movies as a child and I really enjoyed them. The more I thought about it, the more I realized how deep of an impact Disney movies had on my life and my perspective.
Take Beauty and the Beast for instance, I learned from the antagonist Gaston that looks and physical strength are not terribly important. Probably the reason that I've never been much of a gym rat, weight-lifter.
From Aladdin, I learned that even a street rat can win over the heart of a beautiful princess (in my opinion, the MOST beautiful).
Lion King? Importance of friendship.
Mulan? Perseverance and hard-work.
There are SO many more... I miss the old Disney classics.
