Wah it was such a major distraction then!

After exams, I took time to catch a few movies. But lest you think I was catching the latest blockbusters, you are sooooooo wrong.

I caught all the Walt Disney movies I watched as a child, like a decade ++ ago.

My peers, do you remember Pocahontas? It was such a beautiful movie with an equally apt soundtrack that is native-indian inspired.

or Beauty and the Beast?

After this movie, I don't know how many girls yearn to be like Belle - that that they can tame the beast within the men they love. Naive, but possible.

Or how about The Lion King?

It was the only 2d animation that got primary school me to weep.
As I re-watch it, I realise the story reminded so much about myself.
Basically, this story's about Simba (a young lion cub/heir to throne) being deceived by his evil, power-hungry uncle, Scar, that he has killed his own father. So, he was told never to return to Pride Rock (his home) to be the King since he caused his father's death (in fact, it was Scar who did it). In the end, Simba realised the truth and resumed his position as King.

Many times, I was like Simba, lied to by the devil that I do not deserve to be God's princess or to be loved because I have simply done too many horrid things against God. I was told to "run, and never return". But this movie reminded me that escapism is not the solution.
No matter what, our Lord is always forgiving and embracing, so I shouldn't run away!

I love Walt Disney's 90s animated films, and how it has inspired so many of my wonderful and exciting childhood imaginations! Walt Disney, I don't care how many seemingly fake happily-ever-afters you have created, the fact that you made my childhood more interesting is already enough to make me overlook the criticisms :)

We love Walt Disney in the 90s, don't we?
