16 Ways Disney Movies Turned You Into An Animal Lover
Disney movies are an integral part of most American children's formative years — so it's no wonder that they shape the adult humans we become. We owe a big thank you to Walt Disney and his successors for turning us into forever animal lovers. Here are 16 ways Disney movies turned us all into animal lovers for life.
1. They taught us that literally any animal is basically a dog if you love it enough.

2. They showed us that any two animals can be best friends, no matter how different they are and that’s aspirational AF.
