Be Prepared!

So most of us grew up with them, the Disney movie, the classic Disney movie is what I am on about here. The 2D animations, with fantastic characters we all loved and songs we knew every word too! It seems though they are moving away from this trend, instead sticking with the Disney Pixar animations, which although I love, aren't quite the same. Maybe it is just me being nostalgic and silly, but I really don't think they compare.

I remember doing some work in English at GCSE about Disney and how they films were 'sexist' and also 'out dated'. Well every girl wants to be a princess when they are younger, and this was even before Disney. Just look at some of the literature from before, A Little Princess, anyone remember that one?

It just seems strange to me that children enjoy both of these types of movies, the traditional Disney musical and also their work with Pixar, yet they choose only one. My little cousins love a bit of Jungle Book or Cinderella (ok so Connor doesn't like Cinderella so much it too girly for him xD) but they also love Finding Nemo and Monster's Inc, as do I.

I just think that Disney are narrowing themselves down too much and everyone is after all going in the direction on 3D animation. By staying 'behind in the times' and creating movies that sell big, have brilliant soundtracks that also lead to the good ol' sing along versions, aren't they actually staying ahead by really appealing to the kids? After all kids love to sing, dance and make a noise, not sit there and just watch.


On a side note, I don't want to post personal things here too much but I HAVE FINISHED ALL MY COURSEWORK. That is all :D
