Disney Fairy Tales Vs Reality Once upon a time there were two universes. One universe contained every female child’s dream, while the other universe contained the harsh reality of life. They both showed all the signs of a functioning mankind. People roamed the streets, couples meet up to talk about their day, and the environment around them carried on without a glitch. All of these signs were completely different in these two universes, though. The first world was one created by…
celebrations of holidays. Walt Disney and Hans Christian Andersen visited the Tivoli Gardens many times, both enchanted by the wonder, excitement, thrill, and happiness all in one interactive place. The Tivoli Gardens decorate for each season or holiday with music, costumes, activities for all ages, festive lights, fireworks, and more. Everything is all in one place for everyone, very conveniently. Ages young, old, and in the middle can enjoy a trip to the gardens. For many, the…
whether or not I fit the stereotype of the only child. I have been asked if I was spoiled and bossy more times than I can count. In a way, I feel that I did fit this stereotype as a child, but I also feel at one time or another every child believes the world revolves around them. My family has described my younger self as being very defiant and strong-willed. I regularly did not listen to any of the tasks authority figures asked me to do, and instead I would stare at them and continue to do…
dedicated to God and his saints; to the bloody hammer and sickle designed to strike fear into the enemies of the USSR; Russia and its close neighbors are a land decadent in history and culture. Eastern Europe has had a mighty place in the history of the world. It has seen the origins of the Turkish Empire, the Russian royalty of the Dark Ages, the Byzantine Empire, the United Socialist States of Russia. Its current nation-states include: Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Moldova,…
attraction for people from around the world. Its audience ranges from infants to adults, truly embracing the mantra, “there’s something for everyone.” Coming from South Florida myself, I am fortunate enough to have taken nearly annual class trips to this amusement park throughout middle school and high school. Even I, the opposite of a roller coaster fanatic in just about all senses, am guaranteed a fun time whenever I go there (although my heart does reside in Disney World). Aside from some…
Character Education in Up Disney-Pixar is the undisputed king of the animation film industry. Each of their productions is synonymous with “Top Grossing” and commandes raving fanatics and 5 stars ratings. “Up” is no exception. As the title suggests, “Up” is a movie that with each viewing seems only to bring the enjoyment and fantastical pleasure gleaned from this movie up. One of innumerous Disney films that are regarded as instant classics, Up was created in 2009 and to the surprise of no one…
While watching the Last Lecture, I could not but feel happy and sad at the same time. During Randy’s speech, he talked about overcoming brick walls and achieving your dreams. Randy gave examples of him wanting to become a Disney Imagineer and going to the NFL. Me personally have not had major brick walls like him, but have had my share of brick walls. From overcoming deaths of close friends and family, to overcoming adversity in sports, I am always doing the best of my ability to achieve my…
While watching a movie maybe like Disney or Pixar have ever noticed little cameos of pervious characters in new movies. Some appearances might be a mere nod to another story just for the sake of a reference. While others seem to confirm the existence of a timeline shared by several movies. There are various theories about how Disney movies are connected. But there is a network of connections between Frozen, Tangled, Beauty and the Beast, Tarzan, and The Little Mermaid. So how are the movies…
Sights, Sounds, and Smells of Sandy I remember waking up that October morning. It was unusually cold and windy outside, especially for Orlando, Florida, where I was vacationing with my family at a Walt Disney World resort. We weren’t going to let a little cold weather stop us from enjoying “the most magical place on Earth,” so we bundled up in layers and headed out for another day of fun. After a long day full of memories and laughs, we returned to our hotel room and turned on the…
Snowballing faster, the originally small courthouse performance troupe grew into a non-profit organization with a theatre sitting just over 320 patrons. Today, Shaw seems to be continuing that growth spurt, being acknowledged by the Cambridge Guide to World Theatre as the “home to one of the finest acting ensembles in North America”…
