Disney Moves

I love Disney movies. I have always loved them, and I always will. But this weekend all I wanted to do was curl up with my blanket and some hot chocolate from the K-Dit, and watch The Lion King, or Toy Story, or The Land Before Time. But NO! I'm a college student who doesn't get enough sleep as it is (ok, I do sleep a lot, but I need it!) and don't have time for it. But what I really love about Disney movies is the simplicity of the intentions, and the message they really send. For example, The Lion King. What's the point of the story? Good conquers evil. Plain and simple. But what about Cinderella? I get from that movie that a girl can follow her dreams, no matter what kind of background or person she is. She went from the lowest lows to a princess! But the main reason I love Cinderella (and Beauty and the Beast, and Aladin, and Sleeping Beauty, and any story that has a princess) is that there is always a prince charming waiting for them who is their soul mate. In the real world, this never happens. I ran across a quote on Facebook (yes, I am a Facebook creeper), and it said something like: "Disney movies give girls hope everywhere that there is a prince charming waiting for them." I know I just got that wrong, but I don't feel like looking it up. You get the point. But anyway, it was just meaning that no matter who you are, there is always someone out there who you can be with the rest of your life who matches you perfectly. Well, I want to believe that, and I might believe it one day, but right now, I don't. I feel that a girl can spend a whole life searching, but maybe because she didn't go to the store one day because she was feeling sick she won't meet that person. I just feel as a little girl, we believe that there is always a prince out there with all our heart, but when we grow up, we face the truth. And right now, the truth is my prince is still out there somewhere, waiting...
