Do you want to build a snowman?
Last night my Mom treated me to a mother daughter outing to see Disney on Ice presents Frozen!
It was adorable! I loved it! She had never seen the movie, but the show did a great job explaining everything for her. I am almost positive we were the only adults there without any children, but that's OK! haha. We're all kids at heart :)
Its such a great story about making sacrifices for the good of others and the power of love! Disney has a great way of lifting up a people's spirits and teaching them a valuable lesson. Here are just a few examples of the lessons I have learned-
- Snow White: Kindness. Snow White helped others above herself, she found dwarfs in the woods and used her skills to help them and in return they tried to save her from the evil Queen!
- Aladdin: Honor. In the begging of the movie Aladdin tells genie he will save one of his wishes to free him. When it comes time, even though Aladdin has the option to make his life perfect he still chooses to honor his word and sets him free. Your word is everything.
- Mulan: Courage. Mulan is focused on defending her families honor and keeping her father safe from harm. She goes to war posing as the son of the family and has to keep a brave face in terrifying circumstances.
- Lion King- Responsibility. You can't run away from your problems. Simba flees the pride after his father dies, but with him and his family gone the kingdom falls to pieces. Once he realizes how bad things are and how much he is needed (even though he is scared) he runs to the rescue and takes his rightful place.
- Beauty and the Beast- Good vs Evil. This movie focuses on the constant battle of right and wrong. The Prince was turned into a Beast because he was quick to judge, angry and rude. He has very a quick temper but with Belles help he begins to try and balance his rage. This movie shows how you treat others even when your struggling with your inner beast.
I absolutely LOVE me some Disney! Luckily I married a guy who doesn't mind (every now and then) watching a kids movie! haha. These movies always leave you in such a positive and inspired mood. Since they end at the happiest moment, ever, they obviously couldnt get any better, right? Well then if it cant go up, it must go down.. At the bottom of this post I have put in the "after ever after" video by jon cozart "paint" . He re-wrote words to a few famous Disney songs and explained exactly how far down our favorite princesses and queens have fallen since their dreams came true.
If the video for both "after ever afters" does not show up here are the individual links for both.
