Disney Knows Best?

Two decades of watching Disney movies...

I don't think I'm alone when I say that Disney classics generate a warm and nostalgic feeling when you dust off the old VCRs in the 21st century and wander back into your childhood.

It's almost magical how these movies take you back to the innocent state of mind in which you existed when you initially watched these movies. 

Disney came out with Tangled in 2010, and clearly I hadn't seen it until last night when my sister and I decided to order some pizza and get cozy on the couch.

There were many things I noticed about this movie...

Firstly, I want to address the odd and slightly uncomfortable attraction I have toward Flynn Rider... I don't understand it...

Second, I'm in love with this movie. There is a certain je ne sais quoi about Disney classics that give it a whimsical feeling. Tangled definitely brought that magic back. That authenticity cannot be reproduced easily and they did an amazing job of executing that, and it is crucial, especially when producing a fairy tale like Rapunzel.

Thirdly, I felt single as f*ck watching this movie. Flynn Rider would go to the end of the world and back for Rapunzel. They only knew each other for a day, or two, if even, and they were madly in love. 

...excuse me...

I was so weirded out by how much faith they put in each other, and how much they cared about each other. It made me wonder if the other Disney movies I had watched as a child would make any sense in that aspect if I had seen them for the first time after two decades of being alive, and not to mention logical.

In The Little Mermaid, Ariel sees Eric on a ship for a full sixty seconds. And then she loves him and she's willing to give up everything she knows to be with him even though he may or may not express an interest in her.

Fellas, when girls are chasing after you like a dog and it's tail, you can blame this movie.

But I don't think that guys would appreciate the frying pan much either...

I am totally prepared to blame Disney for my unrealistic standards. And I'm sure other movies have a similar effect.
