Thanksgiving 2022 season is upon us all! Cue all the family get-togethers and dinners that you just can’t avoid no matter what. This is the one time of the year when one’s clan sits down despite all previous family dramas that may have unfolded. And nothing can prepare you for the emotional ride awaiting you on family night.
One factor that can still bring all your relatives closer is a fun movie night. Choosing a specific movie to satiate the collective likes of the entire posse can be an exhausting task, but good for us all that Disney movies are here to save the day. The one best highlight of such movies is that they appeal to audiences regardless of one’s age group due to their feel-good vibe contained in a family setting.
Get your meals ready and prepare for the film fest on your family night. If there’s still something holding you back, or if you’ll be spending the Thanksgiving night alone, then these Disney family dinner scenes will take you on a nostalgic trip, reminding you of all the dysfunctional incidents of second-hand embarrassments shared with your family.
6 Disney Family Dinner Scenes to Prepare you for Thanksgiving 2022 Hullabaloo
Brave (2012)
Major points of discussion when a family sits down for a meal are the future prospects of the young members, related to their professional front or the marriage horizon. When Merida’s red-head family gets together for their hearty appetite in Brave, her mother can’t help but raise the issue of her daughter’s marriage with one of the suitors from the neighbouring clans. However, Merida, “the Princess”, has different plans regarding this matter, thus giving rise to the conflict between the mother-daughter. Meanwhile, her triplet brothers unleash their shenanigans and her father can’t help but narrate his glorious battlefield stories of the past.
Encanto (2021)
Holding on to secrets isn’t everyone’s strengths, especially when it comes to Mirabel’s aunt in Encanto. On top of that a potential marriage proposal awaits her sister. Everyone in her family is dealing with someone as her house cracks open, literally, due to the internal fissures in their relationships with each other. Maintaining your family’s notable reputation in moments like these can’t be easy, and if you’ve had some relative almost spilling your dear secrets to your parents or the head of the family, you may relate with Mirabel’s dilemma.
Turning Red (2022)
Wanting to avoid a grand family dinner and subsequent rituals is no foreign idea to teenagers, especially when a concert of your favourite band is being held almost next-door. Mei-Mei is gathered by her mother, father, grandmother and aunties as they prepare for the red moon ritual in Turning Red but all she can do is think about her friends having a blast at the 4*Town concert. Hit a bit too close to home?

The Incredibles (2004)
We’ve all encountered such a dinner moment with your family once or twice. The animated Incredible superhero family comes together for a dinner and the mom discusses her son’s trip to the Principal’s office at school. The siblings clash while the sister’s crush is revealed and the new born infant is having a gala watching this this family face-off. However, as soon as the door bell is heard, all calm is restored as if nothing ever happened and they weren’t just screaming at the top of their voices.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)
Ever remember telling your parents not to embarrass you in front of a new friend you’ve brought back to your place for the first time? Well, this is exactly what happens when Shang-Chi is accompanied by his sister and friend, Katy back home, where, one of the greatest MCU villains, the Mandarin awaits them for a family dinner. You saw it coming, his father can’t hold back from telling Katy about the legendary stories of his life, while Shang-Chi and Xialing wonder about having their dinner in peace. The usual parents-kids banter.

Avengers (2012)
Possibly the most iconic Marvel post-credit scene ever! After their major showdown against Loki and the Chitauri army in Avengers, the OG 6 heroes of the MCU decide to push back and relax at the Shawarma Palace recommended by none other than Tony Stark. With their bruises on full display, the heroes hunch over while grabbing a bite and trying the food for the first time. It’s amazing how the Shawarma place still stands tall after the battle, of course, with some rubble marking the location here and there. This is nothing but your regular family feast scenes after and gaining your energy back after fighting the one of the gravest fights of your life. Been there?
