I Wish Disney Would Show Me the World Again

"Wands are only as powerful as the wizards who use them. Some wizards just like to boast that theirs are bigger and better than other people's."

~ Hermione (Deathly Hallows 415)

After reading that whole wand thing a while ago, where they point out all the various ways wands are used, I couldn't help but laugh at this. I'm almost certain that, if DH got one of those SUPER WAND RECAPS OF DOOOOM, this made it in. It just had to.

It goes without saying that this is what I spent my day doing - reading Deathly Hallows. I did my compulsory chores, and then sat down on the couch, or the kitchen, or the bathroom floor, or the toilet, or in the laundry room, and read. I have very little else to report about my life, and yet I feel as if this must be documented FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. By that, I mean ME. It's important for me to remember how I spent my summer because, when school starts, I forget everything.

I've forgotten most of 7th grade, if you can believe it.

Something that I was thinking as I watched Hercules the other night: I love Disney movies. Really, that's not such a novel idea - everyone loves Disney movies. I still do love Disney movies, despite all the crap everyone harps on about how the Golden Age of Disney has ended. That's a horrible thing to say - if Walt saw the new stuff, he'd be incredibly impressed. He'd beat himself up for not having matched the level of current Disney artists.

I just wish Pixar would include songs. I loved that about Disney, how great it was to sing along with the songs.

Now that I read it, none of that's new at all. I think everyone would love Pixar even more if it mixed a little of Disney's love for Broadway and Musical. Would it kill them to put in a few musical numbers? Is that too much to ask?

Maybe it is, and I'm just being whiny because I want to sing with my movies. Which is weird, since I've never really been a big musical fan, not really. Not live action, anyway.

STILL. Don't tell me this doesn't make your litte child heart flutter and your vocal cords move of their own accord.

It makes mine. Excuse me while I sing and cry fat tears of joy.



And the references to other Disney films. It makes me weep a little harder.
