And the amazing, animated movies you gave us

While 2018 can't be a mix bag of a year for some people, for me, it was a very special and important year for me. I massively got over my anxiety (for the most part), got into uni, I got into different fandoms and (the most important part) WINNING THE CREATIVE MEDIA AND ARTS AWARD AT THE AUTISIM HERO AWARDS SHOW!!! WOOOOOO

But still, I don't think I would have gotten over my anxiety by leaving the real world and entering the worlds of the animated movies that came out this year, three ones being major helps for making me come to terms with triggers of my anxiety, helping me understand said anxiety by showing the main protagonist(s) showing simular symptoms or, in the case of the last one, both.
These three movies are the toughest for me to pick which one is my favourite, (one is the least contaversal, but the other two are contaversal...for one not being a 2018 movie and the other being Illumination which is apparently the worst company next to Sony)
But, I wanted to pay tribute to the trio of movies by drawing a celebration pic for my final pic of the year!

Coco (November 2017/January 2018)
Coco was the first movie I saw of the year and like my other favourite Pixar movies, it came out at the perfect time to teach me something to help in my life. Apart from Hector himself who's plush helped me sleep more, there was a major part of the plot that got to me deeply. In case you forgot, around the time of the film's release, news came out that the head of Pixar, John Lassenter, was accused of sexual misconduct with the female workers at Pixar; as both someone who saw this guy as my personal hero but someone who was verbally sexually harassed by people, this news deeply hurt me and left me confused, stressed and depressed... So when I finally saw Coco, and got to the point where Miguel found out his hero was a murderer who murdered Hector and in his distressed state having Hector comfort him, it personally got to me but was important to teach and remind me that just because your hero turns out to not be a perfect hero, doesn't mean you should give up on your dreams and keep on working. So I thank Coco for the important message at the perfect time

The Grinch (November 2018)
My most hyped movie of the year, it did not disappoint with lovely winter scenes, interesting double stories that did not annoy me when they interchanged between one and another. The animation was great! The relationship between Cindy and her mum was relateable for me. but of course, the grinch himself was an amazing new portrayal that to me really deeply connected with me and my anxiety.
Throughout the movie, the way he interacted with the twin of Whoville really reminded me of how I go day to day with my times of going out with friend/family or myself at college. But the main scene that got to me was the scene he was wanders through the Who crowd, being ignored as he freaks out silently as flashbacks of being a child played. This scene nearly made me cry not just from seeing my fluffy green son sad, but recognising the behaviour of the grinch as anxiety since I did experience that exact same behaviour before which made me grow extremely close to this version of the character! Plus the party scene was another good example of the grinch having anxiety but more calm and neutal like mine currently. So I thank The Grinch for giving me another way to show my family what my anxiety feels like.

Ralph breaks the internet (December 2018)
The sequel to my favourite Disney movie, it was actually pretty fun and a great reference dump of internet jokes and a loving story being about coming to terms with a long distance relationship, featuring a ending I'm both shocked but glad they went through with it completely with no copout unlike most other kids movies! But I was very surprised with the added stuff to help with my anxiety cure.
In the start, they show Vanellope and her glitching powers after Sugar Rush is shut down being her visual cue for anxiety, glitching as she talks when she's stressed espeically after their eBay disaster; being the same of a anxiety person stuttering and freezing when in stressful situations which i can deeply relate with. And Ralph, becomes the "villain" due to his anxiety and insecurity of losing Vanellope to the world of Slaughter Race and no longer having a best friend in the arcade. And while I'm more used to this scenario than Ralph, I understand his feelings and made me understand how my anxiety can make me think overboard.
Then, we have the dark web scene... As you know, the DW is a MAJOR anxiety trigger for me thanks to a major threat given to me back in 2016 so hearing that Disney did include it (and none other than FEAR HIMSELF LEADING RALPH TO IT) made me feel extremely anxious of watching this movie. And even in the cinema, I felt my heart freeze and my body begin to panic when the scene finally came on; but, I held my mum's hand, she held mine, I cuddled my grinch plush, imagined my favourite fictional characters and husbandos protecting me and just replacing Double Dan as that book eater meme from early this year, I got over my fear of the dark web and was able to enjoy the movie without rushing out the cinema from PTSD. So WIR 2, I thank you for both showing two Disney characters I love with relatable anxiety to show my family, but also helping me get over a major trigger of my anxiety face first with support from loved ones....

So
THANKS TO 2018 FOR THESE AMAZING MOVIES
AND HOPE FOR 2019 AND THEIR MOVIES TO BE JUST AS AMAZING!
