This blog post represents the opinion of guest contributor, Jason Crell.
The stories were done to teach a lesson before they were for entertainment. This is why the best people offer knowledge or two pearls. Hell, the first recorded stories were also a hand-prepared cave-painting. And if you move fast from the morning to modern day of storytelling, then we are still handing over some of our best stories and filling them with lessons. The technique has changed a bit, but look at it – we are actually clinging to our roots.
It is fun to talk about the lessons, but it is also helpful to see those who are the most important. After all, the world is flowing with stories. So since we are mostly concerned with animation, let’s stick to our guns and check some best lessons that you can learn from animated films.

Wreck-It-Rralph: People who think of you don’t tell who you are
It was already a talented step to make a film about the world of videogame characters, but Disney made it even better by sticking a good lesson in its heart. Now, some people may say that this is a recycled lesson from Aladdin, but I disagree. Although it is true that the perception of being itself comes in Aladdin, it is more concentrated on romance and materialism. The WRECK-It-Rralph has both the main characters who are struggling to find themselves for themselves (which I think is a better reason), learning to learn that people do not define what they think they are.
This is a great lesson for everyone to see it because everyone faces the opinion of those who really do not know them regularly. And with the experiences of vinelop and Ralph, showing them not to put others in a type of tough box, people who have seen this film can live their lives without any concern what others are.

Lilo and Stitch: Family means no one is left behind
Almost from the beginning, the message of this film has been written extensively on the screen to see everyone. There was no need for subtlety because it was a lesson that everyone could stand to learn. You too probably already know what I am going to say next. Ohana means family. Family means that no one is left behind. In a world where families pay attention to small things all the time, it is important to remember who will always be your back (and whose back you should always have). And the film also shows that the family does not have your blood, either. You can choose whatever you want to your family – even a foreigner.

Wall-E: Live your life in the real world, face to face with your fellow man
I am sure you feel that this entry is going to be about environmentalism. If so, then yes! You were not clearly watching this film correctly. Yes, on the surface, Wall-E is a film about returning humanity on Earth, as they have not learned to behave it like a huge dump. But looking at it in that way, he remembers the forest for trees. That small green plant is important, but the character that bears it is much more. I mean, before Wall-E showed on self-proclaimed, everyone floats around in their own bubbles. Nobody really felt anything now. Humanity became a self-absorbed, emotionally sterile species. And strangely, it took a “lifeless” robot to remind human types of what it means. The real lesson is to try to stay away from staying online in consumerist lifestyle and every time to live your life in the real world, face to face with your fellow man. It is difficult for a person who lives practically and works on the Internet to accept it, but it is concrete advice.

Lorax: Nothing is going to be better
Here is your film with an environmental message. Yes, in fact, Lorax Dr. Cess had a fun conversion of the classic book, which handled its text very well (although there was a good source material to work with it). By expanding the story of-Lear once with Ted’s new story and by jackpapping it, we can see what the environmentally ignorant world looks like. Oh sure – everyone is singing on the surface and is happy, but it is all products of ignorance. It has become very long since everyone lives in a world with nature that people only accept the world in that way. But outside the world’s walls they built for themselves, the world looks terrible (and is) terrible. Now, I am not one of those who think that we should give up all modern suitability for the environment, but is definitely a way to live in harmony with nature. And when I think so, once-Lear’s words echo in my head: until a person like you completely cares, nothing is going to do better. it.

Crudes: Use your head
While the film is a hit or miss with some people, I felt that it was an attractive Rome through an alternative pre-history, a good lesson at its core. Certainly, it can be difficult to look behind all Nick Cage madness (but a good way, this time) – but it is there. You see, when Ryan shows the character of Reynold, everything changes for crudes. Gradually, they learn to see the world in a different way. Instead of hiding, they start living. Instead of being afraid of new things, they learn to adapt. But most importantly, they learn that the world is of those who use their heads. Now, the film has never been clearly said, but the message. And in a world that holds a lot of cultural value when it is large, strong and stable, it is good to get a reminder that innovation and change are those that will help society develop as things to change.

The Lego Movie: Proven You are special for the world
I loved this film very much, because it had something for everyone. Also it was Legos. But even more importantly, it was a lesson that everyone can learn (surprise!). Many of our stories with chosen people and lucky heroes, it was super refreshing that the trop turned to its head. Despite starting as a search to find “special”, it turned into a lesson in confiscating the future, which you want yourself. Or in more simple words, don’t wait for anyone else to tell you that you are special. Prove it in the world yourself.

How to train your dragon: understanding is important for acceptance
Do not be blind by terrible dragons – This film had a serious message that was not seen enough people. It is all about tolerance and learn to have an open mind about those you don’t understand. In this case, people are dragons, but the concept is the same. You see, at the beginning of the film, all the Vikings hate the dragon which is not a reason. I mean, sure, they steal their livestock, but no one ever finds out why. Instead, they react with anger and violence. But when hiccups started highlighting the truth about the dragon-character, the ignorance of hundreds of years flows. Once he started trying to understand what the dragon was really liked, the two groups felt that they could live together and thrive through unity. But all this began with a feeling reaches the hiccups: “Everything we know is wrong about you guys.” So remember that next time you come against doing something new. Understanding is the key to acceptance.

Ratatouille: Follow your dream, you can do anything you want
Depending on how you feel about mice in restaurants, the lesson of this film may seem a bit ridiculous (even the part where a person can be pulled into a puppet by pulling his hair). Nevertheless, it was a cute film with an important message about personal ability. Chef Guestu believes that anyone can cook is misleading for almost everyone in the film, which considers his talent. It is not till the end that Remy suggests that this does not mean that any random person can cook (this means that it is easy), but rather that a good cook can come from anywhere. And when I am glad that rats can’t really cook, this lesson is something that many people should remember. Do not stop your background from chasing your dream. If you work hard and develop the right skills, you can do anything at your wish.

Meet Robinson: Keep moving forward
While the film shares a message with finding Nemo, I love spelling it better by Robinson’s way. From the beginning, however, its clear message of moving forward is almost parrot by every Robinson. For the main character Louis (and even audience), it becomes almost annoying. How, when faced with so many challenges and so much difficulty, can we keep moving forward? But the big twist shows that the Robinson family is the future of Louis, always wins by moving forward, it seems possible. And faced a lot to look forward, it is impossible for Louis not to succeed. Unfortunately, we do not get to see the miracles that we achieve before receiving them. But all the same, all of us should move forward until we are where we want to be.
