We dedicate today's article to some animated films about friendship because friendship is as important for our health as a diet rich in fruit and vegetables, gymnastics or meditation. Friends inspire us to be better people, they energize us when we need a boost. They support us in critical moments and are close to us in moments of joy.

Friendships complete and fulfill different stages of our life. There are school friends and friends-colleagues with whom we share job responsibilities. Not all are the same: each friend is unique, his company gives a different color to parties, difficulties and even moments of boredom.

Why is friendship important?

As the years go by, our friends teach us to interact with others. From marriage to business relationships, communication is the key to success. The way we make our friendships changes over time. Adults don't make friends like children. This change, however, is made possible by the constant practice of communication and interaction offered by our friends.

The basis of all successful interpersonal relationships is friendship.

Cultivating friendship helps us protect our mental health, to manage stress. In addition to this, sharing positive situations with one or more friends increases the feeling of happiness.

Unfortunately, friends cannot cure our loneliness or depression, but they can give us strength. In difficult moments, through friendship we discover the value of care, of unconditional affection, the joy of sharing our emotions.

Finally, friends allow us to look at our problems from the right perspective. They don't let us drown in sadness. They will always want our happiness and will try to push us in the right direction. Here are some great animated films about friendship.
