Lauren Windle shares her thoughts on the latest of Disney’s thought-provoking animated movies.
Disney has long been associated with flowy-haired princesses being rescued by valiant men on horseback. Don’t get me wrong, I loved a bit of Sleeping Beauty when I was kid, but this new batch of films from the media and entertainment conglomerate have far more depth.
Where previously we learned not to make deals with witches or eat dodgy apples – we’re now learning about community (Raya and the Last Dragon), handling our emotions (Inside Out) and not putting ambition before relationships (Soul). Who needs therapy when you have a Disney + subscription eh?
