Hi, I am writing a research paper on Disney movies, and how they teach positive life lessons.  After writing my first proposal essay on this topic, we had people in my class read them and give feedback.  I plan to revise my topic by shifting the proposal and thesis to how Disney influences the traditional arts.  We need to support children’s films that develop a love and appreciation of arts and encourage children to learn and become more involved in arts.  I plan to incorporate into my paper that we need to emphasis Fine Arts in schools, and to point out the different moments in Disney that expose people, especially children, to classical music, dance, and works of literature.  Disney movies teach people great morals and life lessons to live by in their songs and animated movies.  I plan to elaborate on different examples of this positive exposure to the arts in my paper.  In Disney’s original Fantasia (1940), this movie exposes people to pure classical music and traditional fairy tales, stories, and ballets.  As a nation filled with so much culture, we need to keep the arts in schools.  When budget cuts are made they usually go to the Fine Arts programs first.  This is preventing students to be able to find passion and beauty behind the arts.  Fine Arts can completely change a person.  Arts can be a ‘release’ to people’s aggression, or help someone find who they really are when you have a passion for something.  Disney movies expose people to the classical arts and positive life lessons and morals.
