6 Nostalgic Lines from Movies on Disney+ that Make Sense as an Adult
We
all had our favorite movies when we were kids, along with scenes and characters
we will never forget. But sometimes, even stories meant for kids hide a few
lines that may not have made sense before but hit harder as an adult.
Rewatching all your favorite movies from
your childhood on Disney+ is now made convenient and easy when you
#PayWithGCash. From iconic Walt Disney Animation Studio movies like Beauty
and the Beast or Disney and Pixar’s Toy
Story to the original Star Wars
trilogy, you can enjoy these favorites on Disney+ without having to use a
credit card or a mobile plan.
If you’re in the mood to walk down memory lane while picking up some pearls of wisdom, here are some lines from movies on Disney+ that really make sense after hearing them again:
“Oh
yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or
learn from it.” - Rafiki, The Lion King (1994)
The Lion King (1994) had a lot of lessons on growing up and acceptance, especially the concept of ‘Hakuna Matata’ or as translated from Swahili, “there are no problems.” But perhaps, this is one of the greatest pieces of advice from Rafiki and applies to many challenges in life you might have had.
From getting over a heartbreak to
unresolved arguments with loved ones, it’s up to you to avoid and forget these
memories or to examine what you can learn from them and move on.
“Well
there’s the usual things: flowers, chocolates… promises you don’t intend to
keep.” - Cogsworth, Beauty and the Beast (1991)
Cogsworth had a funny reply to the Beast
asking him what he could do for Belle, but in hindsight, this is an interesting
take on romance and relationships in general. As you grow old, you might have
realized that people might make promises they don’t intend to keep because they
want to impress or woo others.
This line is both a warning for you to be
wary about grand statements people make but also a reminder for you to only
make promises you know you can fulfill.
“You
never forget kids like Emily or Andy, but they forget you.” - Jessie, Toy Story
2 (1999)
Have you ever thought about how much you
might have impacted someone’s life? When Jessie mulled about how her owner
Emily eventually forgot her, it feels just the same with people you lost
contact with over the years.
You might have met a teacher or a random
stranger who left a big impression on you only for them to fade away, but there
are people too, who you’ve greatly touched that you might not even remember.
It’s times like these when it’s important to hold onto our memories rather than
dwell on the person we’ve lost.
“Do
or do not. There is no try.” - Yoda, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
You may have written it off as a funny
figure of speech after hearing Yoda say this for the first time but Yoda is
wise in his own ways. Success and failure are realities of the world, and all
you can do is your best to have more successes than failures.
“Trying” implies that you doubt you can do
something and that you aren’t wholly committed to it.Here Yoda reminds us that
there will be failures in life but that should not stop you from committing to
your goals rather than always keeping one foot out the door.
“Your
overconfidence is your weakness.” - Luke Skywalker, Star Wars: Return of the
Jedi (1983)
Similar to Yoda’s famous phrase, Luke’s
reply to the Emperor during the finale of Return of the Jedi, might have
appeared as a simple retort but has a lot of meaning when you look back on it.
Confidence
is important to prevent doubts from clouding your ability to do things
but being too confident can also lead to failure. You may miss out on details,
like important instructions or extra requirements, refuse to accept further
knowledge or fail to see the harm your choices are causing others.
“Don’t
be ridiculous, Andrea. Everybody wants this.” - Miranda Priestly, The Devil Wears Prada (2006)
If you’ve watched The Devil Wears Prada, Miranda Priestly tells Andrea how privileged she should feel about living such a charmed life. However, living a life of luxury where everyone does whatever it takes to get ahead is not everyone’s cup of tea.
Success can have an ugly side at times, and
some people will do anything to meet their goals at the expense of others.
However, seeing Andrea walkaway after getting out of the car, we realize not
everyone wants to have to drag others down to get what they want and you
shouldn’t have to go down that path to find your fulfillment.
Hopefully, with time comes a little bit of
wisdom and you can find it in the most unexpected places. With Disney+ now
