Hello again, I have no idea where to begin on how much I absolutely love Disney!  For my college English class, I am presenting a final project about how Disney films help people cherish morals, art, and music with good values and how the films reflect on the time periods in which they were made.  For the final essay, before the presentation, we have to tie in nine different sources to our paper.  This was very difficult for me to find scholarly sources since most topics on Disney movies are little silly or full of criticism.  To help me find scholarly sources, I used key words like; Disney lessons, morals, family morals, Disney movies, fairy tales, etc… Some of the more negative papers talked about how Disney does not have good variety on the visual side of the different princes and princess’, how Disney teaches bad life lessons(always getting your Prince Charming), or that there are subliminal messages in their movies.  I try to focus on the positive side of Disney, how they teach positive ways to deal with different situations, for example; most Disney movies begin with a tragic plot or unfortunate circumstances, but the point of the movie is not how the effects affected the main character, but how the character moved forward and grew.
