POV: You’re an Egyptian Teenager at the Time of the 25 Jan Revolution

Today we will explore how Disney often portrays heartwarming friendships between characters from vastly different backgrounds, such as the unlikely bond between Remy the rat and Linguini the chef, or the friendship between Judy the bunny and Nick the fox. Even human characters like Ralph and Vanellope, who are vastly different, share a strong friendship. While these heartwarming portrayals can inspire children, they may also set unrealistic expectations about friendship. Children might struggle to understand that forming deep connections in the real world can be more challenging, especially when individuals have little in common. Hosted your favorite psychologists and analysts by Lily, Khadija, and Radwa!
