Toy Story Main Theme (Disney) Teaching Values

Teaching Values through Disney Movies.

What Are Kids Learning From Disney Movies?
Disney movies have become a hallmark of children's entertainment because of their enduring themes and values. These movies have mixed imaginative worlds with real-life problems and applications. Each movie's plot and characters are specifically designed to impart an important value to the audience. From classics to modern Disney movies, children could gain a lasting lesson from these movies which they will carry with them to adulthood.

Love and Friendship
o Disney consistently reinforces these timeless values with every new generation of children. Every few years, Disney creates live action and cartoon movies which portray main problems being solved by the power of love and friendship alone. Other values include teamwork and perseverance against adversity. Examples of movies under this category include classics such as "The Little Mermaid" to re-imagined stories like "The Princess and the Frog."
Value of Education
o Disney has regularly promoted the value of education; in addition to their shows teaching children comprehension and academic skills
Disney has also used the success of their mainstream children movies as a platform to create educational tools such as "Toy Story" pencils and "Cars" rulers.
Character Judgment
o "Do not judge a book by its cover" is a recurring theme in many Disney films. Classics such as "Beauty and the Beast" emphasize the importance of character and attitude over physical appearance. Other Disney movies may even feature characters who initially start as villains but ultimately turn into heroes
Contrast: The "Good" Image
o Researchers point out that most Disney villains such as Cruella De Ville from "Dalmatians 101" or Ursula from "The Little Mermaid" are ugly. This equation of beauty equaling good and ugly equaling bad is a prevalent stereotype: People tend to trust good-looking people more based on their attractiveness alone.
Teaching Children Values
“There is no such thing as absolute value in this world. You can only estimate what a thing is worth to you”.—Charles Dudley Warner
Life is not what it used to be. Yesterday’s child grew up, lived, and died within a small community. Today’s child, on the other hand, faces a kaleidoscope of choices. And tomorrow’s child will enter an even more diverse world.
Among the most important things you can provide are the tools to build a set of values.
Values: the cornerstones our values are the ideas you have about what is important and what is not; what is good and what is bad; what is right and what is wrong. You may, for example, think the most worthwhile things in life are honesty and friendship. Or you may pursue wealth and power.You may never even stop to think about your values.
Nevertheless, they are there, standing behind your beliefs, attitudes, interests, and goals. They affect: •what you do with your free time,
•how you spend your money, •what friends you choose, •how you dress, and •what you eat.
In other words, your values give meaning and direction to every part of your life. Experience: the bricks cost of your values have grown out of your experience within a certain family and culture.
Some families, for example, place a high value on learning. Others think physical fitness is more important. Some cultures stress group cooperation. Others reward individual ambition.
But, most likely, the values you learned as a child have changed over time. As the world has changed, so have your values. As you have grown, so have they. You probably have found, too, that it is not always easy to decide what is good and bad, right and wrong, true and false. The best time to start clarifying values in these ways is in a child’s earliest years. Parents: the architects
Your values will have a great effect on your children. But your children also are picking up other ideas about values from everything and everyone around them. Your children may have found that some people hold values that seem strange or even wrong. Without some help from you, your children may be confused about what to believe. They may put down values that are different from their own.


• You've got a friend in me You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles
From your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me Yeah, you've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me You've got a friend in me
If you've got troubles,I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and can see it through
Cause you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

Some other folks might be
A little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them will ever love you
The way I do, it's me and you
Boy, and as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see it's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
