Disney animations provide some of the most memorable scenes from childhood.  This workshop will introduce educators to a sampling of how Disney (and Pixar) film clips relate to economics.  Featured titles include The Little Mermaid, Up!, and the Lorax.  The scenes are short, targeted examples designed to illustrate concepts such as supply and demand, financial planning, and scarcity.  Lesson plans are provided for each featured movie clip.
