Why We'll Never Be Too Old For Classic Disney Movies

Blame the nostalgia or blame my mother's endless array of old Disney films. Either way, I'll never give up on classic Disney. These were the shows that made up our childhood and broke ground for the hit shows that we have today. No matter how many times they remake these movies, Ill continue to watch the original and occasionally give the replication a chance.

At 22 years of age, I am still the same little girl who calls her big sister to quote Hercules, surf through Netflix to re-watch Beauty and The Beast for the millionth time and cry at the sad parts while smiling at the sappy love scenes. Here are the reasons why I would never give up on classic Disney.

They give us something to hold on to

When watching a Disney film we all feel a little piece of ourselves slip back into the hands of time. This is a time where we can laugh carelessly and enjoy the warm feels of honey and joy.

Valuable lessons are always instilled

Giphy

Whether it be Mufasa's infamous "Remember who you are" or Timon to Pumbas' "Hakuna Matata" .. You'll never forget a Disney quote.

Love always wins

Giphy

Of course you have the classic love story, one person is swooned by another ... and they live happily ever after... This always gives us something to look forward to. The little girl awaiting her prince charming or the woman who purchases the Cinderella gown for her big day. We're constantly inspired by the love of these animations.

Crank up the closed captioning and lets get moving! Most of us don't need it but you can admit that it heightens a great deal of excitement within us!

Even the grumps are adorable 

Giphy

Oh grumpy you dwarf , you. How could we ever not like you? The epitome of someone mean wrapped in a ball of love is usually what these characters are. Deep down, they are all the same.

The Epitome Of Story-Telling

Giphy

Classic Disney has a way of telling a story within a story. They captured viewers by making us believe that these stories were true! We all believed that a boy could be raised with love in a jungle, that a mermaid could marry a human and live life freely and ultimately that genuine heart could turn any beast into a prince. This my friends is the beauty of classic Disney.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
