No more fairy tale movies from Disney—this was the headline in an internet site that I read yesterday. It was only a few days ago when I posted an entry that talked about my fairy tale dreams. Undoubtedly, my fondness and belief of such happy endings are products of Cinderella and other Disney movies when I was a kid. I mean, all little girls know Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty right? Nonetheless, I do get the point of Disney anyway.
Ultimately, the main goal of a business establishment is to earn profit. Having said that, I think that Disney’s decision to stop (or perhaps refrain from) producing movies that would only cater to most little girls is valid; they wanted to cater to a bigger market instead. And yes, who did not love Russel from UP or the lovable monsters from Monsters’ Inc. right? But still, the little girl inside me longs for more happily ever after endings. Likewise, I also know that such endings might be really (or are really) impossible in real life. Others would even criticize those movies for creating a “false hope” for its viewers especially to those children who would get to watch it. Yes, life might not be perfect and we might not get our fairy tale wishes. But I don’t see anything wrong with the euphoric feeling that we get after watching such beautiful endings. At least it gives us hope, at least it provides us with a feeling that yes, this is possible. And that a spark of magic from love won’t hurt.
