Picture this: A sheltered child that is locked inside her entire life. (Just work with me here okay). The only movies this child is allowed to watch her whole life are Disney movies. What would this child think of society today? It would be a pretty great picture right? The world would be a beautiful, non violent place, where everyone has wonderfully proportioned bodies and gorgeous faces and long, flowing, silky hair. Everyone is kind, except for the villain, but in the end the villain is always caught in the end so its no big deal. Here are reasons why this child would be scarred for life if she were to walk out in public for just a day. (And she probably would not even last that long.)
1) In Disney movies, everyone is beautiful and skinny- UM HELLO! Not in real life. Look at all the Disney princesses. Are any of them curvy? NO. (well if you count have an abnormally small waist that looks disproportionate to the rest of your body making it look big then yes.) Disney should make a normal weighted princess instead of always making them stick thin. I am not stick thin, so therefore it is hard for me to relate to Disney princesses. And I'm not a princess so that makes it difficult as well.
Okay okay, I know beauty is different to everyone. But even if one person is pretty to you and not to me, there will be another person who is pretty to me and not to you. What I am saying is, not everyone is as gorgeous as a Disney princess. AND DEFINITELY no one is as beautiful as the Disney prince charmings, so (imaginary, fictitious, just-to-help-get-my-point-across) kid, you will have another thing coming if you think that you are gonna find a guy as handsome as, say Prince Eric or even Flynn Rider.... sigh.
2) Villains are always caught in Disney movies... Unfortunately in real life, the villains are not always caught. In real life, some villains, a.k.a. criminals, actually try to hide their bad deeds instead of singing songs about them to the main character. So if this kid were to go out and see a crime, what would she do? Probably go sing a song about how bad the person was, only to get shot in the leg or something tragic like that. Granted some criminals do get caught, BUT a lot of them don't. SO don't get your hopes up.
3) In Disney movies, everyone sings beautifully. Which actually is true in real life as well! Everyone who opens their mouth to sing has a heavenly, angelic sound that flows out of them like a waterfall. It is so wonderful I just want people to sing to me all the time...... SO ANYWAYS enough with the jokes. There are only a few people on this planet that God has gifted with a beautiful singing voice, me being one of them of course (ummm.), so if life really were a musical I'm pretty sure that people would either wear earplugs 24/7 or cut their ears off. Believe me, I do community theatre.
In conclusion, IF a child were to watch Disney movies their whole life, they would be in for one heck of a shock when they entered the real world. So either Disney needs to make a movie where a chunky princess who can't sing drives around an old battered up van in a rainy, dreary city where everyone is mean and calls her fat and ugly and then the villain steals her identity and car and house and all her personal belongings and then gets aways with it, or children need to understand that Disney is just fiction.
Stay Happy :)
