Every Disney-obsessed little kid—both past and present—knows just how much magic each movie crams into 90 minutes. And although you’re probably a grown-up now (hopefully…but if not, step away from the internet, kiddo!), even just the faintest whisper of a Disney classic playing in the background still has the power to tug on your heartstrings. Disney movies taught us so much about friendship, love, loss, bravery, and, of course, how to go on an epic adventure and face your wildest fears. In short, behind the adorable animation and occasional fairy dust hides plenty of valuable life lessons to take into adulthood.
