When we were little, we always wanted to be older, but now that we finally are, things can be tough. Watching childhood Disney movies can bring us back to the time we still believed in fairytales and superheroes.

It is safe to say that Disney movies played a major role in numerous childhoods. Whether it be one of the many princess fairytales we always wanted to experience or one of the action-filled heroic journeys that made us think we were invincible on the playground.

I do not think there is an age limit on good-hearted movies. Just because you are a teenager, young adult, or whatever you may consider yourself, that does not mean that you are “too cool” for some good old Disney. And if anyone tries to tell you that you are “too old,” I suggest that you just walk away and let them go file their taxes.

“Finding Nemo,” the animated Disney movie about a father and son clownfish who get separated and have to go on a journey in order to find their way back to each other, came out in 2003. Since then, Ellen DeGeneres, the voice of Dory, who is a forgetful and friendly pacific regal blue tang fish, pushed for a sequel and she finally got one, “Finding Dory,” which is set to be released June 17, 2016.

I was six when “Finding Nemo” was released and of course, I fell in love with the movie and its characters. Even my mom enjoyed the movie and has a special place for Dory in her heart to this day.

When it became known that there was in fact going to be a sequel, we were not the only ones that were excited about it. I remember seeing a picture of the “Finding Dory” movie poster hung up here at Lane on staircase Z my sophomore year. Everyone was going crazy on Facebook about how awesome the news was.

Thirteen years later and my childhood, as well as the childhoods of my peers, will live on through “Finding Dory.”

Another movie series that touched the hearts of many is “Toy Story.” The movie features animated toys that belong to a young boy named Andy. Throughout the series, they go through challenges to find their way back to Andy. Ultimately, the movies tell a story about how toys would possibly feel if they were living.

In what was thought to be the last installment of the series, “Toy Story 3,” the young boy from the original film, Andy, is all grown up and said goodbye to his childhood toys as he was going off to college. Around the time “Toy Story 3” came out, the generation that grew up with Andy were on their way to college as well. That was a smart move on Disney’s part and a very emotional time in the theatre for that generation.

As I am soon to be off to college myself, I look back to those three movies and think about the role they played in not only my childhood, but also my life.

“Toy Story 3” is no longer the end of the road for these toys.

Now, the story continues and there is a set release date of June 16, 2017 for “Toy Story 4.”

I am hoping to get a happy reunion of Andy with his toys and maybe he will have kids of his own that can play with Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and the rest of the gang. This needs to happen to relieve us of that tear-jerking ending in “Toy Story 3.”

Another plot idea could focus the movie around Bonnie, the little girl who ended up with all of Andy’s toys at the end of “Toy Story 3.” As my generation is “all grown up,” a new one sprouts and will continue to enjoy the movies that we all love.

The next movie that is making a long-awaited comeback is one that had an ending leaving everyone to believe that there was going to be a sequel, “The Incredibles.” This movie featured a superhero family that was trying to live a normal life when they get wrapped into trouble and have to go back to their superhero days and use each of their different powers to defeat the villain as a family.

Instead of there being a sequel that followed right after the first movie, a video game came out called “The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer.” That seemed to be Disney’s way of explaining the new villain that appeared at the end of “The Incredibles.”

Good news broke to Twitter on the night of March 1 and “The Incredibles 2” was trending worldwide. It turns out that “The Incredibles 2” has been added to the list of upcoming Disney films.

One of the tweets I saw read “Older kids should be allowed in line first for ‘The Incredibles 2,’ we waited 11 years for it.”

I think it goes without saying that you will find me at the movie theatre on the days these movies get released.

Rocio Padilla, Div. 670, is going to grasp onto her childhood again when these movies come out.

“These movies mean more to me and my friends because we grew up with them. I feel like we have a stronger connection to them,” Padilla said.

Even though we will still have to do some waiting before anyone of these movies comes out, it is nice to know that we will be able to revisit a part of our childhoods.

I am pretty sure that the movie theatres are going to be filled with a great majority of teenagers and young adults when these movies do finally come out. And even if your excuse for going is that you have to take your younger siblings, nephew/niece, or cousin to the theatre, I know there will be a part of you that enjoys the movie.

“You’re never too old for a Disney movie,” Padilla said.
