Summary

Bruno Humbeeck, psychopédagogue and researcher at the University of Mons, presents a conference on Walt Disney as an unexpected educator. He argues that Disney films, when watched in a cinema with adult accompaniment, offer profound lessons about life, death, and emotional development. He contrasts the original cinematic experience with modern solitary viewing on DVDs or streaming, which he believes can be traumatic without adult guidance. He analyzes specific films like Bambi, Blanche-Neige, and La Reine des Neiges, highlighting how they address themes of abandonment, resilience, and emancipation. He also critiques the evolution of Disney princesses from passive to assertive figures. The talk emphasizes the importance of shared viewing experiences and the ‘realistic magic’ that makes Disney stories resonate with children and adults alike.
