If you don't like Disney, you should probably stop reading now. This blog is dedicated to all random musings that pertain to or derived from Disney (movies, shows, products, parks, etc).
If you're still reading, I'll assume that you're like me: you grew up with Disney. If you're a girl, you've imagined being one of the princesses at least fifty times (I'm Belle. Every. Time.). If you're a boy, maybe you grew up daydreaming about one of the princesses, or even pictured yourself as Charming, or have more appreciation for the Pixar flicks that started with Toy Story. Disney has always been there for you, whether it was a movie on a dark and dreary day or a place to let your daydreams carry you while sitting bored in class. You get goosebumps whenever the Disney Logo appears on screen, you giggle every time the Pixar bouncing lamp jumps on the 'I', the first five minutes of 'Up' never fails to make you cry, you can ALWAYS find a reason to reference a Disney movie in daily conversation.
I'm a self-proclaimed (and sometimes otherwise proclaimed) Disney Dork. My biggest accomplishment recently has been getting my fiance to agree to go on a Disney cruise for our honeymoon.
The conversation went something like this via text message:
Me: I think we should do a Disney cruise for our honeymoon.
T: okay.
Me: and then spend a couple days in the parks.
T: Sounds good to me.
Me: <3
The idea for this blog came about when I stumbled across another Disney blog http://simpledisneythings.com/. While scrolling through her almost 2,000 entries, I got it into my head that I wanted to chronologically organize my Disney movies.
So I did.
Then I decided I wanted to watch them. All of them. In chronological order.
So T and I sat down to start.
Something else you should know about me, if you don't know already: I always have something to say. Especially while watching movies, and especially since majoring in English and taking more than a handful of film classes. I've been yelled at more than once for ruining the film watching experience (come to think of it, I've been yelled at more than once for ruining books, too). I'm nit-picky and critical. But also, when something in a film reminds me of something else, I like to point that out. When I really enjoy something, I'm not afraid to get really REALLY excited about it (even in public).
As T and I sat down to watch "Snow White" I began running commentary. And somewhere along the line, the idea for this blog was fully created.
My goal is to watch every single Disney movie created, in chronological order, and to share my thoughts with anyone who wants to read them. You may not always agree with what I have to say and I'll admit I'm something of a troublemaker... I enjoy saying things to get a reaction (ask me what I think about 50 Shades of Gray. That one's gotten me into quite a few arguments). I like comments, so feel free to leave me several. Be mindful that I have something of a life and so if this isn't updated every day, I've not died or forgotten about the blog. Saying that, some of these movies may be a bit difficult to find, so if there's a long lull between entries I'm probably having trouble finding a movie.
Oh, for anyone interested:
The website I found that has all of the Disney movies listed in chronological order is http://www.disneymovieslist.com/disney-movies.asp for anyone curious about what movie is next, or when I'll be getting to a favorite, or who couldn't give a care in the world for my blog but is interested in the Disney timeline of movies.
With all that explained... on to the movies =)
