Additional activities may be assigned, such as worksheets and trivia questions to enhance the student's learning and understanding of the material. Finally, the instructor will be available for any questions and to provide feedback to each student. 

No prior knowledge of Disney movies or history is needed. This course is designed for those students who have a passion and love for all things Disney, and for those who are new to the Disney canon of films.
