Disney Movies..

     Since I was a little girl I have always loved Disney movies. Every child has their favorite movie that can't compare to any other ever seen before. For me, it would be The Lion King. When I got older my mom would tell me stories about when we would come home and I would race to the T.V in hopes that I would be able to watch The Lion King or the times that she would turn it on and I would come running out of my room to the theme song of Lion King. I haven't lost my love for the Lion King, and I probably never will.


     Being now that I'm older, I don't watch a bunch of movies. With work, and taking care of Zach and Koda, and being a responsible teenager I find most of my time either at work or cleaning the house or something else that I need to get done. Maybe that's why I am so in love with Disney movies. It gives you a place to run away in your mind, just to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.  I watch those movies for the exact reason for why I read books or write stories.


     Recently, I watched Frozen. Hearing everyone' story about how amazing the movie was I just had to get it. So tonight, I sat in bed with Koda in my lap and Zach dozing off from the day since he had worked so hard today at work. I sat there and imagined myself as a little girl, watching a movie that really made me think. Crying at certain parts of the movie made me realize something. No matter how old you get, the one thing that will never change is that in fact you are somewhat like the little kid your parents remember and hold close in their hearts.


     I skyped my mom today and talked with her about what's going on in her life. She broke down crying when we talked about Frozen and the relationship she has with my aunt in the past. Frozen reminds her of the relationship she had. I couldn't help but to cry after she got off the call.  Is it truly amazing that a movie can bring up feelings from the past?


     I remember when I was a little bit older, say maybe sixteen and still wanting to watch The Lion King. My parent's thought it was kind of funny that being older I wanted to watch a kid movie. There is something about the message behind The Lion King that always gets to me. I cry when I watch that movie, it's something that is very special to my heart. When Simba is looking into the sky and sees his dad and his father asks him.. " You have forgotten who you are, and so forgotten me. Look inside yourself, Simba. You are more than what you have become. You must take your place in the Circle of Life." When I'm really down in the dumps, and believing that I can't succeed at anything I remember that moment in the movie.

    


     It doesn't matter what age you are, Disney movies will always have an affect on your life. The moment you first watched the movie that you will remember for the rest of your life. You may have many or you may just have one. Whatever the case, Disney Movies are a true inspirational movie company that teaches you that you don't have to be afraid of life, or that you are the most creative person you can be if you put your mind to it.
