Classic
Trying something new here. Want to make more posts but really have no idea what to write about (at least till I get a better camera and start that food blog.) So came up with the idea of doing some totally generic Top 5/10 lists. Fairly simple and quick so hopefully I can do one a week.
Anyway these lists will encompass all things Disney, obviously. So let’s get into it!
Top 5 Classics
Let’s start with the big one. If you don’t know how big of a Disney nut I am, you have not known me long enough. Loved ‘em my whole life; from various VHS tapes as a kid to the 3D movies now. For this list, I’m concentrating on the classics. You know, the ones that everyone loves from the period before Disney started sucking (they’ve totally redeemed themselves now btw.)
5. Peter Pan
Sadly I haven’t seen Peter Pan as much as I’d like. From the still numerous times I have seen it, it’s always a treat. Love the dynamic between Captain Hook and Mr. Smee but then again who doesn’t? Really wish I purchased this on DVD when it came out.
4. Beauty and the Beast
Again another I wish I’ve seen more. It’s been over 10 years since my last viewing. Anyway this is hands down this is my mom’s favorite which is reason enough to rank it in my top 5. Also recently figured out that it’s set in France and they sing about food. Imagine that.
3. The Little Mermaid
Now we get into my deep, deep loves. This one evokes many childhood memories since I used to always watch it with my sister. We watched it so many times together that I still have “Part of Your World” memorized.
2. Aladdin
Robin Williams as Genie? What more could you ask for? Definitely one that appealed to me as a boy with hilarious comedy and intense action. It’s hard to find fault in this masterpiece.
1. The Lion King
Did you have any doubt? I have pretty much every line and song memorized to a T. Superb story, great villain, the best characters, and memorable songs. To me, this is the perfect movie. One I will definitely be playing for my kids and grandkids.
So there you have it! Hopefully I’ll be able to put up my second Disney themed list tomorrow. Also hopefully I’ll update my style sheet to make everything easier to read.
