The excitement surrounding the world of Disney never seems to waver. Some grew up watching the original cartoon films and some queued up outside the cinema for the release of a new live-action remake, but whatever got them into this magical world, Disney fans are loud and proud! When the credits roll however, it can be sad to walk away from the world of Disney. Luckily, there are many ways to keep the Disney spirit alive in your day-to-day life!
Brand-new films
As much as we love re-watching our old favourites, there are plenty of new Disney films to look forward to! With new blockbusters constantly breaking box-office records there is a lot to look forward to in the cinematic world of Disney! The craze of reanimating our favourite Disney originals has many of us flocking to the cinema. The remake of The Lion King was a roaring success and Beauty and the Beast brought a tear to everyone’s eye. But, that’s not all! There are plenty of live action films to look forward to over the next few years, including:
- Mulan (release date 27th March 2020,
- Cruella (release date 28th May 2021)

- The Sword in the Stone (release date TBC)
With all these films to look forward to, even the most fanatic Disney enthusiast will be kept happy over the next few years!
Party like a Disney princess
There are plenty of Disney essentials to get you through your day to day, but what happens when you want to incorporate the magic into special occasions? Any party or event could be made a whole lot more magical with some Disney touches. Birthday cards are a great example — what better way to wish your loved one a happy birthday than with the face of their favourite Disney character? The ‘Disney Faces’ range from UK Greetings, a leading greeting card supplier, recently won the ‘Best Paper Products and Stationery’ prize at the Licensing Awards. The range is simple yet bold, perfectly encapsulating the essence of some beloved Disney characters. These cards provide a perfect way to commemorate a big day, or even a very happy un-birthday!
A Disney product for everything
Disney fans will be relieved to know that there’s a Disney product for every occasion. It’s easy to keep the magic going, from the moment you wake up to the chirp of your Disney alarm clock, to when you snuggle into your Disney pillow to get a good night’s sleep. When the Walt Disney Company first opened its doors in 1923, it was a film house with one main aim: creating cartoons that would entertain and delight. Today however, Disney is so much more. Expanding from filmmaking, Disney opened its first theme park ‘Disney World’ in Orlando Florida, in 1971, and then it’s shop franchise the ‘Disney Store’ in California, 1987.
Disney is such a big brand and they really have created just about everything! Spruce up your interior design with Disney printed fabric, designed for curtains, sofas, and armchairs. Make sure your workplace has some Disney touches by bringing your favourite Disney themed mug to the office. Think of a product you use on a daily basis, and I guarantee there’s a Disney version of it somewhere. You can even get Disney branded coffee and tea; they really have got all the essential bases covered!
It is easy to make sure your birthday is centred around the magical world of Disney. Choose from a wide range of Disney themed balloons, party bags, invitations, and other goodies. Whether you go down the dainty Disney princess route, choose a superhero theme, or create a party around your favourite Pixar film, you can make sure it’s perfect. All you have to do is crank up the Disney music and make sure everyone gets the fancy-dress memo!
Endless singalongs
Your daily soundtrack can completely alter your mood. Walt Disney famously said: “There’s a terrific power to music. You can run any of these pictures and they’d be dragging and boring, but the minute you put music behind them, they have life and vitality they don’t get any other way.” So, why not take his advice? Add vitality to your daily routine by compiling an uplifting Disney playlist.
In recent years, some Disney songs have completely transcended the films themselves. Many of our favourite tunes have had chart-topping success. In 2013, Frozen’s epic song ‘Let It Go’ by Idina Menzel, reached number 11 in the UK charts and was loved by all. Elton John’s The Lion King smash hit ‘The Circle of Life’, was another favourite, also reaching number 11. In 2019, Zayn Malik and Zhavia Ward’s version of ‘A Whole New World’ (featured in the live action Aladdin) has been a particular favourite.
Between the age-old classics, and the modern chart-toppers, there truly is a Disney song to complement every mood! Start your day with “Heigh-Ho” from Snow White and fall to sleep with the soothing melody of Pinocchio’s ‘When You Wish Upon a Star’ — you’ll feel inspired and ready to face the world!
