Hi, AllEars readers! If you would like to read more information regarding the temporary closures at the Disney Parks, please click here for a list of closures at the Disney Parks, or click here for some of our most FAQs. From all of us at AllEars, our thoughts are with those affected. While the Disney Parks are closed, we will continue to write articles and bring you AllEars TV videos to enjoy and for our readers to use once the parks reopen. 

Hercules inspires us to go the distance, Remy tells us that we can do anything we set our mind to, and Carl reminds us that adventure is out there.

Disney movies have helped inspire many of us grow into the people that we are today. Many students of the Class of 2020 have probably learned a few lessons from these movies too! And, now Disney wants to celebrate their achievement with a special message.

Don Hahn, who is the filmmaker behind movies like Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, and Maleficent among others, wants to tell the Class of 2020 that they are the heroes of their own stories!

Although they might not be getting a normal graduation ceremony, Hahn tells graduates to “meditate on the possibilities of life” going forward and to “celebrate the milestones.”

You can watch Don Hahn’s full Commencement Speech to the class of 2020 here!

 

Congratulations to the Class of 2020! We’re so proud of you! Find out how you might be able to see YOUR graduate’s name live on TV here!
