Knights in Pop Culture

                                            

For this assignment I wanted to link examples of knight references to Disney movies such as Mulan. Mulan is a warrior hero. She bravely took the place of her father to save him against all Chinese laws because it was the right thing to do through following her heart.  This, in my opinion, makes her the Knight in the movie.  She could have died at war but her quest was one of bravery and courage where she came back to save all of china. Along her journey, she ended up making loyal friends, bringing honor to her family and finding true love!.. sounds like a good knights tale to me.


The second movie I looked at was Finding Nemo. I had mentioned in a previous post that parents are the unspoken hero's/knights of our culture today. Well, Nemo's dad was the knight of this tale when he ventured out to find his abducted son. He set out alone and determined to save his son at any and all costs. Along the way he made friends(Dori!), and bravely went where no overly protective clown fish had gone before.
