Disney Values
What good values do Disney movies teach children?
Snow White, because someone mentioned it, would be "Don't let fear rule you." The biggest lesson she learned was not to be fearful and let that rule her to run away. As soon as she conquered her fear, things became better.

My daughter loves Toy Story for the friendship between Buzz and Woody, she won't ever put one without the other.

The Incredibles I would say "Don't Hide Your true self.'

Meet the Robinsons is "Always move forward" and don't be afraid to fail, exalt in failure (this was also in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.)

Lion King is about responsibility and family. Same with Mary Poppins too.

The Three Lives of Thomasina would be about family, letting go of mourning, and opening yourself to new happiness.

So Dear to my Heart is about hardwork and perseverence even when it doesn't seem like you'll ever win.

The Sword in the Stone is about education being the true power and strength, the strength of kings.

The Black Cauldron is about friendship, loyalty and responsibility.

Tarzan is about family and melding worlds.

The Great Mouse Detective is about using your brains to figure out the hardest problem, no matter how little and insignificant you think you are. Oh, and positive training the dog because let's face it, no mouse could train a dog using a choke chain. :P

Old Yeller is about loyalty and giving your life for your family, as well as responsibility and doing what must be done even when you hate it.

Dumbo is about finding your own special talent to succeed in life.

Pinocchio is about being good and not shaming your family.

Finding Nemo is about not being afraid of a little adventure, and don't count your parents out.

Robin Hood is about doing what's right even if it goes against the government rules.

The Cat From Outerspace is about friendship and loyalty.

The Princess and the Frog is about working hard for what matters, and recognizing what really matters

    Children's films are especially good at catching the attention of their audience and are far more memorable because kids enjoy watching movies more than enduring the serious reality that is school or church. It allows them to escape into a fantasy world where adventure and excitement are moderated and consumerism can be fully suggested upon them.…

    The legend of Robin Hood has been around for nearly one thousand years. For the past several hundred years, Robin and his Merry Men have been known for stealing from the rich, particularly tax collectors, and giving to the poor; however, because this is still stealing and Robin had also killed at least one of the king’s deer, Robin and his men were known as outlaws. While they may have been outlaws, Robin Hood and his Merry Men were more like knights in the way that they dealt honorably with opponents in battle, defended the weak and helpless, and protected women and children.…

    Most customers, or Guests as the Walt Disney Company calls them, who visit Disneyland call it, “The Happiest Place on Earth.” While that may be true for them, some employees, also known as Cast Members, do not think of it as “The Happiest Place to Work.” Many Cast Members who work at a Disney Park, such as Disneyland in Anaheim, California or Shanghai Disney Resort in Shanghai, China, are onstage making the magic happen for families from all over the world. They do tasks that range from the most glamorous of roles, like being a Disney prince or princess, to the most unappealing roles, like scraping the built-up sludge off of the “it’s a small world” ride. However, they complain of long work hours, little pay, no flexible scheduling, working holidays, and no help from the management; and because of these grievances, Cast Members feel unappreciated. Walt Disney Company employees do not feel valued…

    From the day we are born we are faced with challenges. Some may require more effort than others, which in turn acquire memorable achievements and goals. The challenge of coming to terms with the effects of our actions towards loved ones and our future as a result of selfishness is a key theme which has caught my eye through a few texts I have been introduced to this year. Such challenges are seen through the narrator's story in Big World by Tim Burton and Cell One by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Key comparisons made included the similarities shared by the main characters, and how they both evolve around a teenage boy who is somewhat lost and needs guidance from his parents or mother. I also discussed the similarity they share which makes them appear more fortunate than others they are involved with in society. I also contrasted the difference in where the stories are set and how this differentiates their backgrounds, and how the pair faced their different challenges.…

    This is often achieved by the main character of the story being a child themself, making it easier for child viewers to see themselves reflected in the characters/story. This however is not seen in Toy Story. Andy, a child and the owner of Woody and Buzz, is not the main character of the film.…

    In conclusion, Finding Nemo is an exceptional movie that helps educate young children about strong and true character education.

    Toy Story

    I believe you presented Toy Story to us to show the personalities of the toys are a lot more complex and for the class to relate what we have been learning in class. The film uses a constructed text in order to put across a theme of two very different characters learning to work together beyond their rivalries to rise above a common enemy and work towards a common goal. I believe the team work that Woody and Buzz created can be applied to how two different people can work together to achieve a goal and or obstacles. Also inside the neighbor’s house the movies presented another set of toys that weren’t as “pretty” and “shiny” as the toys in Andy’s room. Woody right away assumed they were cannibals just by the way they looked. Because Woody judged the other toys right away it restrained him to ask for help thinking he was going to get eaten. This can be applied to the saying “not judging a book by its cover” and in class we discuss how our opinions of others can affect how we work with one another. The film uses characters and imagery very cleverly to portray this theme. The music used in the film is also different to other Disney features. Rather than the characters bursting into song themselves as in Aladdin or Hercules, the songs are played and sung by an outside person and reflect the mood and emotions of the characters in a particular scene. For example, the title sequence song “Friend in Me”, when Woody and Andy are playing together, and the scene where Andy’s room has been made over to a Buzz Lightyear theme, “Strange Things” where the song reflects Woody’s confusion and fear not only about the change in his surroundings but also the change in his friends and his own character and self-confidence.…

    Case 20 - Robin Hood

    • 1246 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Robin Hood faces a myriad of problems that can potentially influence the changes that are crucial for Robin’s organization, as well as affect the effectiveness of the insurrection. As the CEO of his organization, Robin has the responsibility to act in the best interest of the Merrymen as a whole and not let personal grievances compromise his judgment. Robin Hood’s opposition to the Sheriff and Prince John make him the face of the revolt, and consequently, cause the ranks of the Merrymen swell. With so many men and too few tasks or jobs, a majority of the Merrymen lounge around the camp talking and playing games—not vigilant as their training teaches them to be. As part of Robin Hood’s organizational structure, Little John keeps discipline among the men; however, since the number of Merrymen keeps growing it is increasingly difficult for the lieutenant to discipline the men. Likewise, the growing band exceeding the food capacity of the forest, game is the forest is scarce, and the band is purchasing supplies from outlying villages to account for the forest’s deficiencies. The cost of buying food and supplies drains the financial reserves of the band, and considering that revenues are declining as travelers start to avoid Sherwood, there is the possibility that the band will burn through the reserves quickly. Additionally, the Sheriff is growing stronger and recruiting more men. For Robin Hood, this means that any decision he makes needs to happen…
