From doe-eyed Bambi (what other kind of eyes would he have, he’s a deer, after all) to the classy cast of the Aristocats and all the Princesses, Disney characters sure are quotable and citable. Unlike you’d expect, though, not all Disney quotes are tooth-achingly sweet; some of them also share some pretty wise insights on life, love, and friendship. Especially when considering the newer Disney movies - Soul, Frozen, The Incredibles, for instance - as they were more aimed at moral values and broadening kids’ understanding of the world. So, we’ve gathered all of those wise, inspiring, and motivating quotes that come from Disney movies and put them all into this one thorough collection made for you.
Although you might think that Disney is just for kids, remember that the creators of these movies aren’t kids themselves (and here I thought...). They are wise professionals who care about their audience’s education on life and morals. They provide subtle nudges onto the right path by inserting these intelligent quotes into their seemingly lighthearted movies. So, even Dory, the amnesiac happy-go-lucky fish, has a thing or two to say that is of value, and don’t even get us started on Rafiki’s wisdom or 22’s intelligence. Some of their smart quotes have wedged into our hearts, and we will keep them there forever.
Want to read the beautiful words for yourself? Then scroll on down below as these Disney quotes are just within reach of a lion’s tail-tip. Pick the quotes that fit your outlook as well as the glass slipper fit Cinderella, and don’t forget to give them your vote. Also, share this article with anyone who needs some motivation or just good old reassurance that everything will be swell!
