Reasoning…
The reason I chose Disney as my hero is because my original hopes and dreams came from the very classics that the Disney Incorporation has created. They continue to come out with great movies and always put a smile on my face. Disney reminds me that life can be simple and happy just like their characters in the stories they tell.
