Rewatch your favorite movies all over again on Disney+ when you #PayWithGCash
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 available in the Philippines, easily pay
