Even though I am months delayed, I saw the movie "Frozen" for the first time today. I've heard so much about it, about how wonderful it is, and I have to agree with them completely. It has now become one of my favourite Disney movies. Even though I'm now nineteen years old, I still love Disney movies, and who wouldn't? When I was little, I loved the songs and story, but now that I'm older, I actually pick up on the humour- the script is really funny. It's sort of the same with 'Shrek.' When I was little, I didn't get all the jokes, but now I'm watching it again and I find it even funnier than what I thought it was all those years ago.
My favourite Disney movies would be:
1) Beauty and the Beast
I love the songs, the story, the world in which it is set. I love reading, so I have the 'Belle dream,' which is basically the dream of having that absolutely incredible library that the Beast gives to her. Also, this story (along with all the other cartoons of this genre) hold a moral lesson, which is, that beauty can be found in even the most unlikely of places/ people. I'm just assuming that everyone has seen the movie- but if you haven't please watch it- and we see at the beginning the Beast has a temper and doesn't appear friendly, but with Belle being able to express her lovely nature, she treats him (after she tries to run away) as if he isn't a monster, which ultimately brings out his kinder nature. It is the most beautiful love story ever!
2) The Lion King
Like with 'Shrek,' when I re-watched this years later, I was able to appreciate the jokes, which made it a pleasure to watch. I have a wonderful childhood memory associated with 'The Lion King,' of, whenever I stayed over at my cousin's house (who was older than me) I would always ask to watch it, as I didn't have the video myself. So it was always a special treat watching 'The Lion King' for me. And once again, one of the reasons I love the movie so much, is because of the fantastic songs: 'The Circle of Life,' 'I just can't wait to be king,' 'Hakuna Matata' and 'Can you feel the love tonight,' have all become such classic songs in the world of Disney.
3) Tangled
This came out a few years ago, and being much older when I first saw it at the cinema, I was able to appreciate a Disney movie through 'adult-ish' eyes and pick up on the jokes once again. (I like comedy, as you can probably tell) I just loved everything about this movie, the idea of going on a quest- which seems so mundane, but it ends up being so much more- of seeing the lanterns that are lit in the remembrance of the lost princess. And that is one of the many reasons why I love this movie so much: it turns the ordinary things into the extraordinary. For example, a frying pan becomes the faithful weapon of self defence.
And now it is time for me to welcome the next film into my top four favourite Disney movies:
4) Frozen
I love how I can really relate to the character of Anna. She is clumsy and awkward, which just makes her seem so real. I was talking to one of my friends about Disney movies today, and we both agreed that Disney characters have evolved throughout the decades, moving with the times. If you were to compare a princess from one of the earlier films (like Snow White) with a princess of today, like that of Anna and Elsa, they have so much personality, and seem so real, so you see their motivations and become believable. I got really into the movie, especially with the scenes with Olaf the snowman, who loves warm hugs and dreams about the summer. He was so adorable!
As soon as I finished the movie, I wanted to watch it again, it was that good!
