Disney & Me

Just a warning, this post really has nothing to do with anything I normally post about.

I am wondering, why is it that all the Disney movies my daughter is in love with make me CRY?! Pocahontas, Mulan, The Little Mermaid, Ariel's Beginnings...tear-jerkers, all of them, with the music, the family stuff, the happily-ever-after themes...what the hell? thoughts?

  1. Perhaps you are sad that real life problems and conflict can't be resolved so neatly and finally? And that, eventually, Morgane will have to find this out . . . That's what makes me sad when I read books with my boy.

  2. good point...but I think I'm also just super sappy. I mean, it's EVERY TIME, and she watches them a lot. over and over. clearly it is hitting some nerve. Ah, the power of Disney...
