Disney Movies are able to place viewers in a wheel of feelings and emotions, from happy to sad, funny to sympathetic. As a big fan of Disney animated movies, I have watched many movies and until now I realize that sad scenes leave a deeper impression in my memory.
Do you think what often moves us? Is it a misunderstanding, a breakup, a loss, or even death? You can witness all these situations in every Disney animated movie.
