I think it's good to have happily ever after endings for kids, since you want a child to feel good after watching a movie, you only get to be a kid once. To me I can get kinda sick of that, but I still watch Disney movies anyways. If the content of the movie is good before the ending, I like the movie. Like Enchanted, the ending was very predictable, but the whole idea of the movie, I really loved that. So that is a good movie in my mind. I also like seeing movie to escape reality, but most movies just make me sad seeing as how my life will never be like that ever (and I'm not talking about just the disney movies, but even movies like Harry Potter when you see the friendships in the movie)

I do think happy endings can inspire people to make their own happy endings. It seems too many people don't bother to dream about them, and that leads to a lot of moody, pessimistic adults (like where I work). They settle too quickly and take mundane, easy to come by "endings". But I think with some trial and error, and maybe a lot of work, a good, if not happy, ending can happen for most people. This is probably why I rarely ever watch anime--a large part of that culture is to never have the "cliche" happy ending. But...now it's cliche not to have the happy ending in anime =P. There's a lot of struggle in many animes, and that's realistic, but then half the time it turns out horribly sad or melancholy in the end. I just can't watch something depressing like that, lol. So I stick with my Disney movies and Studio Ghibli films.

Well, the one people have associated most with Studio Ghibli was "Spirited Away" (if that was aired in India?) because it won a lot of awards. Then there are other movies made under that company, my favorites being Nausicaa, Laputa: Castle in the Sky, , Whisper of the Heart , Princess Mononoke, and the more recent Howl's Moving Castle. All very good and probably worth looking into if you love Disney movies ^^.

Doh! I'm so silly, I forgot Kiki's Delivery Service! It's glaring at me from my CD/DVD rack <_<
And for favorites mine is also Beauty and the Beast (since she's my favorite book smarts gal). Then, as a verrrrry close second, it's Mulan, because she's so kick butt and uses her common sense. And geez, I don't know if this ties or what, but Aladdin was also awesome in it's own way (but I loved Belle and Mulan best for their very strong heroine qualities). But when I was younger The Little Mermaid was my favorite for a long time. Now, today, I know that Ariel was a little silly to deal with a sea witch, and not altogether that bright, but all I was thinking was "ooooooh, a mermaid! I wanna be a mermaid!"
