The Disney Downers is a rare emotional state, most likely experienced by optimistic idealists. During a bout, one feels like that they can accomplish their dreams, and become the person they always wanted to be, emboldened by a Disney movieâs positive themes and messages. But, during their flight of fancy, they hit an emotional ceiling called âLife isnât fair.â And âNot everyone has a happy ending.â Shot down from their lofty state of mind, they crash and burn. Depression sets in, by dint of being caught in limbo, between wanting to believe, and Reality saying otherwise. Whether these life morals actually exist or are just mental constructs created to justify the Disney Downers is up to debate.
"Man, I watched Wreck-It-Ralph, and now I have the Disney Downers."
