For those of you who have yet to see Disney’s Brave (I’ll admit, it’s a slightly more niche one than some of the others on this list), you need to rectify that ASAP. Not only does it offer up a beautiful story about mother-daughter relationships, but it also gives us a flame-haired hero who fights for her own hand in marriage, utterly defies stereotypes, and teaches us that our fate lives within us – we just have to be brave enough to see it.

Is it any wonder, then, that the tale of Merida comes complete with a seriously motivational song? One which would, in my humble opinion, be the perfect accompaniment to any jog, cycle or outdoor workout?

Don’t believe me? Check out the lyrics below:

I will… be as strong as the seas are stormy
And proud as an eagle’s scream.
I will ride, I will fly,
Chase the wind and touch the sky, I will fly,
Chase the wind and touch the sky.

Exactly.

“Strangers Like Me” – Tarzan
