Earlier I was watching the Zenimation episode 'Nature'. One of the clips, and my personal favourite, was seeing Kenai and Koda from Brother Bear riding on mammoths. Kenai has a hopeful look on his face as he is nursing Koda, and as we pan out to reveal the Northern Lights, we see Sitka's spirit, an eagle, watching them. Seeing Kenai this way promotes hoping and feeling for others, as one of the messages in Brother Bear is 'feel through another's heart'. Zenimation not only calms and unwinds, but also silently brings forth messages without verbally expressing them that we can all take to heart, such as hope, inclusivity, kindness, understanding others' feelings, family, sacrifice and more. It's not just Zenimation who'll calm kids and help them understand mindfulness. Youtube is getting in on the mindfulness craze too, with episodes of well-known shows and songs and films that promote feelings and understanding. With these, you'll be just like Kenai during the clip, or any other Disney character.
