When it comes to the horrible life lessons from Disney movies, there are a lot of them. Some are philosophical, hitting the core of human morality, while others are simpler. Disney movies can instill these harsh and even awful lessons through fun and colorful images. From kids to online users, some of the best Disney movies and their lessons can, and should, be avoided by everyone.
A life lesson from these movies should not be taken literally. For example, if you were to take Aladdin, one of the classic Disney movies, you can see it shows an easy way of opening up a melon — crack it with your knee. In reality, it is almost impossible to do it. Luckily, their movies do what they want, and it is left to us, the viewers, to judge the lesson’s application in real life.

“From Aladdin, I thought melons could easily be cracked open over my knee.
Some tears and a very bruised knee later, I found that this was not, in fact, a real thing.”
Puck-Ey: “This is the most specific and the most tragic.”

“Just repeatedly bludgeon someone with a cast-iron skillet, so hard that they black out. They’ll be fine, don’t worry. And it’s funny!”
user comments: “Hey bud. I’ll have you know it was a frying pan!”
BTLOTM replied: “You know it could also be… a drying pan.”
heartlikeabomb comments: “We just talked about this in our staff meeting this morning (I’m a social worker) because we have a teen girl who was hitting her sister and eventually upgraded to using a cast iron skillet. Some coworkers were talking about video games but I said she probably learned it from Tangled.”

“Don’t be ugly.”
treemu comments: “You could shower your crush with affection and they still won’t see you the way you see them. The key is to deal with it and move on.”
BlushBrat replied: “And that’s what a lot of people miss and Hunchback of Notre Dame. Esmeralda is used to comparing Quasimodo’s character, and Frollo’s character. Frollo wants to possess her, and can’t fathom the idea of her choosing differently, where Quasimodo is like if she just wants to be my friend, then I’m okay with that.”

“Falling in love at first sight with the first possible suitor. At least Frozen poked fun at it.”
Maiclopedia replied: “It poked fun at it, but it didn’t do a very good job. It was wrong for Anna to marry Hans, who she had known for 2 hours, but it was OK for Kristoff to try and save her with true love’s Kiss after knowing her for… 20 hours! What a difference! I know that in the end, it was Anna’s love for Elsa that did the trick, but I always found that part funny.”

“Just keep dreaming and wishing, it will come true. I like that Princess and the Frog took that idea and added the concept of working toward your wishes/dreams too.”
Ellausy replied: “I love this movie, severely underrated. It shows how hard work is necessary for life to prosper, even when your circumstances are not the best. And that sometimes, you don’t have to do it all alone, good friends and hard work make things so much better.
I find that the more modern movies don’t rely on this wishful thinking as much as the older ones.”

“Stay with an abusive arsehole long enough and he’ll eventually stop being a monster.”
start_the_mayocide replied: “The real lesson of this movie is at the beginning. The witch cursed everyone for something one person did. The lesson being is that collective punishment is real and will happen to you if you associate with the wrong people by chance. All those servants in the castle were cursed for having a job and associating with the Beast. It wasn’t their fault but were cursed and the only way to lift the curse was to hope that an a*shole fell in love.”

“Everyone in a castle has a different shoe size.”
Silver_Yuki replied: “If you read previous editions of Cinderella there is a reason for this.
She was locked away in a dungeon by her stepmom with a bunch of rats who ate her toes off, so her shoe size was way smaller than everyone else in the realm.”

“That if you want to learn English, all you have to do is listen to the colors of the wind.”
PukefrothTheUnholy replied: “Oh, you listen with your heart to learn English, not the colors of the wind. You paint with the colors of the wind. And sing with all the voices of the mountains. I watched that movie way too many times because it has the best music.”

“A man you’ve never even talked to, only admired from afar, is worth selling your soul to the devil for (no Ariel, no).”
LeafyQ comments: “Ariel already wanted to live on land long before she ever saw Eric. She sang ‘Part of Your World’ about all the things of human life that fascinated her, not about Eric at all. I’m 100% sure she’d have made the deal even if she’d never seen him.”
