Moana (November 23, 2016)
Did you guys know that John Musker and Ron Clements think an animated movie should be like a treehouse—“playful and imaginative, but showing you something that’s always been there, like your backyard has always been there, from a fresh perspective?”
Because people want to go up in a treehouse. They like it, it’s fun. Even adults see a treehouse and something in them goes “I want to check it out up there.” And then they’re not seeing a reality that wasn’t there before. They’re seeing reality which was always there, fresh, thanks to the treehouse.
John Musker and Ron Clements did these movies.
What have we learned?
Stories are not about escaping reality. They’re are about escaping the lies we’ve started believing by seeing reality from a fresh perspective.
Use this to beat the snot out of any argument that goes “it’s just a good story, not everything has to have a message” like those two things are somehow opposed to each other, when actually, “good story” and “message” can’t exist without one another.
The message just has to be about something true. Not “a truth.” The truth. Not a fanciful idea that can help you escape reality—a new way of phrasing reality so that you can accept reality a little easier, and even be hopeful about it.
