5 teachings from Disney characters

In addition to being responsible for amusing complete families in different parts of the world, Disney animations also have important life lessons that are transmitted to the public since the first film.

With that in mind, Recreio separated 5 great lessons that we learned from Disney animations. Check out!

1. The value of family

In “Lilo & Stitch”, Lilo and her older sister Nani are at war with one another. With the arrival of Stitch, new confusion ensues. However, despite everyday disagreements, they never abandon each other and are always around for when they need it. As the alien himself says, “Ohana means family, family means never abandon or forget”.

2. The value of friendship

Just like family, it’s also important to cultivate your friendships well — and that’s one of the main messages of “Toy Story”. Throughout the franchise, in addition to the friendships between toys, we also follow the beautiful friendship between Andy and his dolls throughout his life.

3. Never give up

As much as difficulties can discourage you, it’s important to never give up on your goals – just like Marlin, from “Finding Nemo” teaches us. In the film, the clownfish circles the ocean to find its son, facing attacks from sharks, fishermen, super dangerous sea currents, in addition to having to swim through the unknown. However, after a lot of effort, he does not give up and manages to reach his goal.

4. Always have a good heart

As a demigod, Hercules is an extremely strong man. During the film, alongside Pegasus and Phil, he decides that he needs to end Hades once and for all, however, he ends up realizing that his physical strength will not always solve everything. As his father, Zeus, said, “A true hero is not measured by his physical strength, but by the strength of his heart.”

5. Every lie has its consequence

During “Pinocchio”, we learn that lying is not a good option, and will always have its consequences, whether it be your nose growing, or even hurting someone you care about. As taught by the Blue Fairy, the important thing is to be “courageous, sincere and altruistic” to achieve your goals.
