Down the Memory Lane with Disney

"And at last I see the light, and it's like the fog has lifted."

Walt Disney has impacted a great amount of lives. There are different opinions about Disney; therefore, you can love or hate him because it will not change how Disney matters to me. My blog is here to provide some informational history about Disney as well as acknowledge the racial discrimination and sexualizations of both genders in Disney films.

"Oh, I just can't wait to be king!"

The Lion King came out in 1994, which was the year I was born in. So since it came out, I watched it constantly. Therefore, my Grandmother, who was visiting from India, ended up memorizing the movie and singing the songs because of how many times I watched it. Disney has been a part of me since the day I saw The Lion King. 

"Everybody wants to be a cat because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at."

One of my personal experiences as a kid was to watch the Disney movies and sing-along. I found myself being spontaneous because of such color in the films, the catchy songs, and the story line. Of course, growing up I heard and noticed a lot of issues with Disney films and why many people opposed Disney.

"We are Siamese if you please."

Controversy about the movies have stirred many. A lot of movies included racial discrimination and sexualizing genders, which will be discussed throughout the blogs. 

"Under the Sea, darling it's better, down where it's wetter."

Disney also has a lot of hidden messages in his films and illustrations. My mind continues seeing these films from a child's point of view so my feelings are conflicted. I do understand the films were made for adults, but I feel as some children get influences in a wrong direction by Disney.

"I won't say I am in love."

Some people hate and some love Disney; however, no one can be perfect and loved by everyone. There is always someone who hates or opposes. I personally know Disney has inspired me and helped me see the light in the darkest times. 

"Look for the bare necessities, the simple bare necessities." 

I value Walt Disney because he has given us inspiration and dreams. Watching the movies, I always felt as if I was the main characters, battling through struggles of life. Disney has always been there for me when I needed it the most because Disney has always uplifted me and made me smile.

"Someday my prince will come."

I feel as if Disney spoiled people because most people felt special and precious through his films. Children watching certain films, dreamed of being princesses and princes, even in Disney theme parks. There is a joyful and thrilling feeling Disney gives off because of the breathtaking beauty and joy of the movies and theme parks. 

"Never had a friend like me."

Going to Disneyland, I felt so electrified! My brain could not handle the excitement. I was going around meeting different Disney characters, enjoying the lovely scenery, and rides. There was no better place than Disneyland for me. 

"I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream."
To add, Disney has given hope to many children and has brought things to life. Movies, music, art, theme parks, and toys of Disney have a certain charm which anyone could enjoy and get excited.

"Cruella De Vil."
When I was little, my Dad took me to McDonalds and he used to get me the Happy Meal. I would always look forward to them because I would get Disney toys; nevertheless, Disney was everywhere when I was growing up. 

"Poor Unfortunate Souls." 
I just wonder why Walt Disney made the movies for adults, obviously the children enjoy them, but did he ever think he would trigger children or was this all a beautiful accident? I honestly feel everyone should enjoy Disney because it uplifts your spirit. You can be a kid or an adult, but it doesn't hurt to enjoy a terrific Disney movie. Hakuna Matata!
