The Disney Movies

I knew I suppose to do some SAT practice in these days, but today I just watched all the Disney movies (well, not really "watch" but like scanning over for the plot and some particular music). Some of the movies are older and some are just as old as I am. Watching these movies as a teenager makes me have a pretty different feeling toward these movies than when I watched them as a kid. I used to think Disney movies are all about love and romance. But now I feel that they also address another topic --teenager rebellion. In Litter Mermaid (all 1, 2 ,and 3), Ariel wants to be a human despite what her dad had said; Melody never listens to her mother's words. In Lion King 2, Kiara is tired of Simba's overprotective parenting and want to be together with Kovu, the heir of Simba's enemy, Scar. In Pocahontas, the Indian princess Pocahontas keeps hanging out with John Smith even though she already has a fiance. Pocahontas 2 makes everything in the first episode a lie. Pocahontas just broke up with John Smith so easily despite they saved the American Indians and prevented a war in the first episode.

Other movies have great plot and great character. Aladdin is my favorite. Mulan is also not bad. The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules, Alice in Wonderland (1951), The Aristocats, and so on, all are great movies. Walt Disney presents the old stories in a whole new way. With great imagination and music, he built our childhood with hopes and dreams. There is A Whole New World Under The Sea. Hakuna Matata, A Friend Like Me will be Part Of Your World. When The Bells of Notre Dame ring and When You Wish Upon A Star, You've Got A Friend Like Me.
