When it comes to the horrible life lessons from Disney movies, there are a lot of them. Some are philosophical, hitting the core of human morality, while others are simpler. Disney movies can instill these harsh and even awful lessons through fun and colorful images. From kids to online users, some of the best Disney movies and their lessons can, and should, be avoided by everyone.
A life lesson from these movies should not be taken literally. For example, if you were to take Aladdin, one of the classic Disney movies, you can see it shows an easy way of opening up a melon — crack it with your knee. In reality, it is almost impossible to do it. Luckily, their movies do what they want, and it is left to us, the viewers, to judge the lesson's application in real life.

"From Aladdin, I thought melons could easily be cracked open over my knee.
Some tears and a very bruised knee later, I found that this was not, in fact, a real thing."

"Just repeatedly bludgeon someone with a cast-iron skillet, so hard that they black out. They'll be fine, don't worry. And it's funny!"
user comments: "Hey bud. I'll have you know it was a frying pan!"
BTLOTM replied: "You know it could also be... a drying pan."
heartlikeabomb comments: "We just talked about this in our staff meeting this morning (I’m a social worker) because we have a teen girl who was hitting her sister and eventually upgraded to using a cast iron skillet. Some coworkers were talking about video games but I said she probably learned it from Tangled."

"Don’t be ugly."
treemu comments: "You could shower your crush with affection and they still won't see you the way you see them. The key is to deal with it and move on."
BlushBrat replied: "And that's what a lot of people miss and Hunchback of Notre Dame. Esmeralda is used to comparing Quasimodo's character, and Frollo's character. Frollo wants to possess her, and can't fathom the idea of her choosing differently, where Quasimodo is like if she just wants to be my friend, then I'm okay with that."
