The Truth About Disney.

 "Dig a little deeper. Think of something that we’ve never thought of before” – Winnie the Pooh.

So I took Winnie’s advice and I’m shocked to say, I think that he was trying to tell us something. Winnie the Pooh gave out a cry for help and we all ignored it, thinking he was just being a funny little, somewhat philosophical bear!

Everyone loves a good Disney film, is there anything better (unless that is you have a social life) than snuggling up in a blanket with food and watching ‘ The Lion King’? For me, no. But when you really think about it, when you read between the lines of our much loved Disney films, the truth spills out. The truth needless to say is not pretty!

Today’s society is constantly moaning about ‘our future generation',  they worry about what will become of our world because of today’s children.

Hold on just a minute! Times are changing and so should expectations.

So don’t tell us to grow up or behave! Peter Pan didn’t have to!

As a child I saw Tarzan running around practically naked, Cinderella sneaking in - from a party she wasn’t allowed to go to - after midnight, Snow White left home to live in a house with seven men, Flick picked a fight with the biggest bugs in town, Aladdin was a thief, Pinocchio lied all the time, Ariel made a deal with ‘ the devil’, Alice ate magic mushrooms and drank from a mystery bottle whilst her Caterpillar friend smoked a shisha pipe and on top of all of that, a stranger kissed Sleeping Beauty and she married him!

Do you see what Winnie the Pooh meant now? Don’t blame us for doing reckless things, we were taught to rebel from a young age.

After all, “Children have got to be free to lead their own lives. ”  –  Sebastian the Lobster.
