'Tale as old as time...'

The old Disney movies are just the best. They hold equal amounts of love, fun, laughter, joy and tears. A beautiful princess, a charming prince, a malicious villain, catchy songs, and laughs all along the way. What a wonderful way to spend the weekends as a child.

During the large gaps between my exams, I was YouTubing all my favourite Disney movies. The Lion King still makes me cry. Colours of the Wind makes me want to jump out of my chair and run into the nearest rainforest. The Jungle Book helps me find the 'Bare Necessities of Life'.

Its really surprising how I outgrew watching all these movies. Lots of life's lessons were in those movies. Lots of nightmares too. E.g: Ursula the Sea-Witch. If there's one Disney villain I NEVER want to confront, its her. And Scar (only because he'll push me off a cliff). And Jafar (he's one creepy cookie). And...you get my point.

Even the songs are so heartfelt, and timeless. Everyone knows 'Can you feel the love tonight' and 'So this is love'. My all time favourite is 'God help the outcasts' from The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Its such a selfless, and wonderful song. A song that holds great importance in today's world.

Old Disney movies are just awesome. Revisiting my childhood was never more enlightening.
