couldn’t abulea marry a old man
What about sim as mother it might be th #1 secret
Soul should have been included in this list as it talks about life
I’d submit the first Frozen movie does a good job of illustrating why you need to be wary of some people and how being naive can be very dangerous.
Emily this is really good I really just love you your so adorable and speak nicely
I think Bambi 2 did a decent job of exploring the topic of a child adjusting to the loss of a parent as well as how a workaholic parent is tasked with adjusting to live of raising a child on their own

15:12/Finding Dory
Although this MAY sound out of context for the first one, but I feel that one thing that MAY be relatable to this is:
Being a Son with Autism/Asperger's with neglectful parents. (or nowadays, neglectful mother) Forcing me to be self-reliant, maybe to a fault.
(in case anyone would ask for examples)
In short, even though my mom's well aware of my condition, she never supports me, due to her narcissism+laziness. Heck, she even tried to "suppress" it. (as if there was an on/off switch for me to hit/flip…)
Brave: "Gender roles" Are you serious? Brave is about a mother and a daughter learning to connect and listen to each other. Brave is also set in old times, where women were expected to be married off and have kids. Royals would give their daughters to other royals for alliances. That is happening in this movie. This movie deals with a connection between two family members and of course an alliance between a group of people that the princess doesn't want. The "gender role" is NOT an issue in this movie. It would have happened in that time. It's realistic.
This movie is not set in modern times so our ancestors views were a lot different from ours today, so Brave's characters would have the same views has our ancestors.
If you were a woman, born in the time where this movie was taking place, you would also be expected to marry and have children.
Encanto and Mulan were my favorites. The expectations in Encanto and the children's struggles to escape them. And the fact that Mulan didn't outmuscle the men and was able to defeat Shan Yu with her brain instead. Both were brilliantly performed
7:49 Childhood always sticks with us no matter what. You’re never to old to play.
Number 6 should also include autism
Number 10 should be included gaslighting
This just shows that animated films aren't all just for kids. Especially when it's comes to disney.
I think I can see a bit of myself in Dory.
Abuela Madrigal is actually sympathetical, I mean, everything she went through, who could blame her? 😢😢😢
Mr Incredible: They keep creating new ways to celebrate mediocrity
(Bob hit the nail on the head with that line really sums up the world today.)
I Had A DVD Cover Movie Of Cars 2 And Up Back At My Father's House As A Teenager Plus I Also Watched Lion King,Big Hero 6,Toy Story 3,Wall-E,Pocahontas,Tangled,Finding Dori,Lilo And Stitch,
I’d give pretty much anything to watch Pocahontas for the first time when I was 6
The villains in cars 2 were oil tycoons? Wow that makes a lot of sense
Tangled becomes even more messed up when you watched the series and you find out that Mother Gothel abandoned her own child Cassandra before she kidnapped Rapunzel
I think you also forgot to mention that Encanto also dealt with the topic of disowning family members seeing as Abuela disowned Mirabel for not getting a gift and she also disowned her own son Bruno
Conservatives & evangelicals clearly haven’t seen The Hunchback of Notre Dame or dismissed it as a baby movie for babies, when it’s more than that. Encanto, Turning Red, & Zootopia/Zootropolis are some of my favorite modern Disney movies with A Bug’s Life and the Toy Story movies are my favorite classic Pixar movies, yes Toy Story 4 is there too. It’s not a classic yet, but will be in the future, especially with Toy Story 5 in the works.
