H is for:
HERCULES: Doesn't this movie have the best soundtrack? I mean, seriously. The Muses are AMAZING! But as far as the movie itself goes, I always related to Hercules. He grew up knowing that he didn't fit in, no matter what he did. He went through a lot of dramatic changes but still remained to true to himself. In the end, he realized that the only person he had to please was himself, which is how I try to live my life. I love myself even though I know that I'm different from everyone else and I'm perfectly fine with that, just like Hercules did. He realized that his differences made him who he was and made him special. And he was also able to find someone else to love him for who he was, just like me. Good things do happen, sometimes they just take a little while. But it enables you to really appreciate them when they come along. :)
I is for:
ICE PRINCESS: This isn't a movie that I absolutely love but every time that it's on ABC Family, I can't turn it off. The story follows Casey, a young girl with a lot of academic promise who wants to do her physics project on ice skating. She ends up falling in love with the sport and becomes quite successful at it. In the end, she ends up leaving her physics career behind and pursues ice skating. Basically, it taught me that sometimes we don't always want what we think that we want but that's okay. We just need to be open to new things and experiences. Doing so may lead us to discover new passions that we never would've known about. Plus, she had to go against her mother's wishes to get what she wanted, which taught me that people should always stick up for themselves and what they want. It may be tough at the time but in the end, it's worth it.
J is for:
JUNGLE BOOK: This one is another classic Disney tale that everyone knows, or at least they know "The Bare Necessities" lyrics. The story is the marvelous tale of the young boy that grows up in the jungle with his animal friends and the adventures that they have together. But at the end of the movie, Mowgli, (the boy) finds a nearby village and goes to live in it with other people, leaving the jungle behind. Even though his friends would miss him and they loved him very much, they knew that they had to let him go. It's a heart-breaking realization but that's what makes it so beautiful. This movie taught me that letting go is hard but if you really love someone, you'll want what's best for them, just as Baloo wanted what was best for Mowgli.
That wraps up this post! Thanks for sticking with me so far! I can't wait to post more of these!
Have a great weekend!
