Disney Movie Marathon: Pinocchio

We finally finished Pinocchio! This movie took us FOR-EV-ER! We had to force ourselves to watch it. I never realized how much I did not like this movie. It is bad! I think this might be one that we don't introduce to our kids really. The whole pleasure island thing is just depressing. What was Walt thinking. For it being his 2nd movie it's surprising that he made it as big as he did.

So now to our favorite parts, I (Courtney) love the beginning, it is such a happy movie. Them dancing around wishing a stars. It's a nice family feel. The middle I just want to skip and then the end of the movie is nice to. Not much of a critic, but I just don't get excited about this movie.

Next up is Fantasia

Disney Movie Marathon: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs:

We finished our first movie! Snow White was great! Obviously we have both seen this one before, but it is definitely one to watch more than once. It has great laughs and for me is better as an adult, I was always scared of this one when I was young.

Courtney's favorite part: I love when they are cleaning! It is just a bunch of funny scenes and I'm laughing throughout. "And I'll do the sweeping." I love when the deer is just licking the plates clean. HAHAHA! Also, I never realized until now how funny Grumpy is! I always thought that Dopey was the funny one, but man everything Grumpy did was making me laugh. To make things more entertaining, Grumpy isn't even trying.
My beef with this movie is the spell is broken with true love's FIRST kiss. So if I were to have the poisonous apple I would be screwed because I have already had my true love's first kiss. (Note to self don't take delicious apples from strange hags!)

Chase's favorite part: My favorite part has been my favorite as long as I can remember. When the dwarfs hear that Snow White is in danger with the queen disguised as the cackling old hag, (note that they find out by a bunch of animals harassing them) the first person to respond is of course - Grumpy. He valiantly wastes no time, mounts up on the deer closest to him and leads the brigade in chasing the old hag queen to her death off the cliff. Grumpy riding on the deer for a mutual cause in Justice for Snow White is by far the goose bump trigger on my body.

Next movie is Pinocchio!

Disney Marathon...

Ever since we finished watching the Smallville Seasons (can't wait for Season 10 in November) we haven't had anything to do. You know that time when it's too late to really do anything, but too early for bed? We don't have TV watching capabilities so we are kinda stuck. We recently decided to do a Disney Movie Marathon!



What is a Disney Movie Marathon you might ask? Well, I don't know if it already exists, but our version is watching all Disney movies from oldest to newest in order. We are basing it on the list here . We will either watch them on youtube or borrow the movies from others since we only have a few. We may skip some that we have no interest in or can't get a hold of since this would be nice to be no expense. And I'm not sure if we've decided to only do cartoon ones. We're kind of making this up as we go.

We started Tuesday night with Snow White. It is so much fun to see where the movies all started and to see how it's changed since 1937!

Hopefully this will help us be entertained at night and get us pumped for our Disneyland trip the end of this year.

We'll keep you posted on our journey through Disney. And do it with us if you would like. I wonder how long this will take us??

Next up Pinocchio!
