This is part of my series “Thoughts on Disney movies,” where I’ve gone back to watch all of the animated Disney features, starting with Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs, and then share my thoughts on the blog. Highlights: It’s got lots of Disney charm, and it’s funny too. The “poor people” of Nottingham are […]
Thoughts on the Aristocats
Highlights: I know this isn’t the most popular Disney movie, but it’s one that I really enjoy. It’s fun, it’s cute, and it’s got a decent plot line. It’s just a very likeable movie to me. Take Duchess, our main character. She is extremely easy going and always happy. She doesn’t really get super upset about things, […]
Thoughts on The Jungle Book
Highlights: Overall it’s a cute Disney movie, I liked it, but it’s not one of my favorites. There are some fun characters, like Baloo and King Louie, and two really great songs. I haven’t actually read the stories by Rudyard Kipling, but my understanding is that they are not very similar. Apparently Walt Disney told everyone […]
Thoughts on The Sword in the Stone
Highlights: I’m really into Arthurian legend (my cat is named Merlin), so I have a soft spot for the Sword in the Stone. It’s a cute movie, and stays very close to the book it’s based on, “The Once and Future King.” Merlin is a great character. His whimsy and fun is captured perfectly, and he’s […]
A First Timer’s Thoughts on Walt Disney World
One of my friends recently went to Disney World for the very first time, as an adult – he had never been as a child. Going as a adult definitely gives you a different perspective on things, so I was curious to see what he would think of it. And I thought some of you […]
Thoughts on 101 Dalmatians
Highlights: I may be a cat person rather than a dog person, but those little dalmatian puppies are so cute! I love that so many of them have their own personalities. Lucky is adorable: “my nose is froze. My toes are froze.” And Rolly is constantly hungry. It’s a cute, fun film with a good […]
Thoughts on Sleeping Beauty
Highlights: Prince Phillip is absolutely the man. Armed with the epic Sword of Truth and Shield of Virtue he not only is able to save Princess Aurora, he absolutely destroys a massively powerful Maleficent-turned-dragon. The ending of the movie is really well done, I do love the classic romance and waking her up with […]
Thoughts on Lady and the Tramp
Highlights: I always forget how much I really enjoy Lady and the Tramp until I watch it again. In real life I’m a cat person not a dog person, but the dogs in this movie are just adorable. The two neighborhood dogs that Lady associates with are pretty funny, too. It has one of the […]
Thoughts on Peter Pan
Highlights: Overall it is a really excellent movie. I find it to be quite enjoyable, funny, and emotionally touching. One of the nice things about this movie is that it keeps a good pace. They go on lots of adventures but it doesn’t feel too rushed, and it never really drags at all. Low points: The […]
Thoughts on Alice in Wonderland
Highlights: The series of nonsensical adventures that Alice goes through are cute and captivating. There is a lot of silliness going on here, making it a pretty funny movie. Low points: Well, this was a highlight too, but the movie is just silly. There’s no real consistent plot to it, and sometimes it just gets a little […]
