    I both disagree and dislike the articles “How Hollywood Killed Death” by Alexander Huls and “You Can Do Anything: Must Every Kids' Movie Reinforce the Cult of Self-Esteem?” by Luke Epplin. I believe fake deaths can be an effective story telling technique, and often fit the plot. Additionally, I disagree with Epplin’s complaints about the “magic feather syndrome” so commonly found in children’s movies. He comes across as if he would prefer a world where all children’s movies encourage kids to simply face the harsh realities of life and do nothing to improve their standing. I believe both articles come across as condescending and overly criticize the movie industry.…

    Nowadays, Disney movies are a hit or miss: it is hard to live up to the motto “a film the entire family can enjoy” with every movie. Yet, Disney made an animated masterpiece when it created a utopia for zoo animals.

However, the main themes of the movie have many parallels to the content that we have been learning in class. “Inside Out” is a Disney Pixar movie that brings to life the five emotions (Joy, Anger, Disgust, Fear, and Sadness) of 11-year-old Riley. Life is seemingly going smoothly for Riley and her emotions.…
