I’m curious…
What are your 5 most loved Disney Movies you grew up with? And why…?
I’ll start:
1. The emperor’s New Groove - felt Kusco related and loved Kronk. For me THE ADHD (and autism) related Disney movie. And: adventure without princesses.
2. Hercules - how to be a “real man” / NOT to be a toxic dude? (for me unconsciously non-binary/trans related)…and YES! Hades rules! And: adventure without princesses.
3. Mulan - failing on being a “good girl/women” / “wedding material” (for me unconsciously non-binary/trans related) And: adventure without princesses …I know, Mulan is listed as Disney-Princess, but tbh: that’s so false.
4. Mary Poppins - feminism, “how to revolt against stupid men, stupid adults and social norms” and: adventure without princesses. Also, always wanted to live the streetartist/chimney sweeper-life of Bert.
4. The Lions King - how to handle death, loss and growing up “on you’re own”. Big Rafiki-love! And also…yep you got it!: adventure without princesses.
Edit:
YES I’m a 90s kid! 😆
I’m aware of many problematic traits of Disney (cultural appropriation, bad working conditions etc.) Nevertheless I grew up with the movies, they've got good sides too though. And they gave and still do give me much comfort.
Also haven’t listet “A nightmare before Christmas” because it’s NOT a Disney movie! (Otherwise it would on the top of the list.)
