"Good and evil meet and do battle in the fairy tale world as much as they meet and do battle in our world, but in fairy tales the good live happily ever after. That is the major difference." I think for the most part, everyone enjoys a good fairy tale, it really doesn't matter what your age is. Fairy tales and happy endings, allow us to escape from the real world, and enter into a realm where anything really is possible. Personally, I am fascinated with fairy tales for that reasoning, I just wish that my imagination was a great as it used to be, when I was five. Sometimes people ask me, "Aren't you a little old to be watching cartoons and Disney movies?". Well, no I am not, actually. There is no age limit to imagination and creative thinking. I like to watch Disney movies and cartoons, because they are very much inspiration to my own artwork, and the kind of artwork that I would like to create as an animator. Not to mention, I do enjoy watching a good animated movie, just for the entertainment. :)
In the book, it says that "the gospel is the meeting of darkness and light and the final victory of light". The gospel kind of sounds like a fairy tale, when described like that, huh? I mean, think about it, it's the good and the evil battling it out, and in the end the good side wins. I feel like that to some degree we all want to live in a fairy tale like that, where everything goes our way, and the good ones win in the end.Well, it seems to me that fairy tales really are true, just open up your bible and read about it. :)
I think that's one of the reasons I love Disney so much is because it really is an escape from the real world (or homework, like I am going to be avoiding with Finding Nemo this weekend...) and for 2 hours just have a good time watching Flynn Rider get hit with a frying pan...it's that simple!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, there is no age limit to Disney :)
