DISNEY’S animated movie Frozen drew over six million viewers worldwide. Disney’s movies are much loved and attract people of all ages. Most of us have, at some point or another, watched an animated movie from Disney’s pool of cartoons for the silver screen. The theme of courage runs through many of these movies. It shows us that character strengths and life skills are essential in overcoming adversity. Courage is not only about fighting dragons and monsters and bad guys! It’s also about standing up for someone, sharing work with others, speaking up for what’s right no matter what or simply being yourself.
Provide a summary of the movie. Then, think of the specific scene that shows how the character showed courage. How would you and your partner apply that type of courage in your own lives? Give one example. (You may also use any other Disney movie not stated here.)
