Day 11 – Your favorite love song

“Can You Feel The Love Tonight” from The Lion King (1994)

Image result for can you feel the love tonight

I’m pretty sure this is one of the first songs I memorized from a Disney movie. My parents still have The Lion King soundtrack on CD, and I have fond memories of listening to it and singing along with my mom in the car.

This is one of those songs that gives me chills at the start. I’m pretty sure I learned to play it in orchestra class at one point, too. It’s hard to believe this year is the 25th Anniversary of the movie!

This is one of the most fun and entertaining Disney songs. It’s a feast for the eyes, too. And, it’s Robin Williams, for heaven’s sake. I miss his talent every day.

Snow White!

My parents still have the VHS copy of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) This was the movie I watched over and over when I was younger. I know I had a Snow White dress, and I daydreamed about living in the forest and taking care of all the animals.

As a girl, I wanted everything that Snow White had: The cottage in the woods, the pretty dress, the singing voice, the animal friends. The dwarfs were mostly sweet, but quite a handful! I was scared of her stepmother, the Queen, and the dark scenes. I don’t remember having nightmares over it, but it still scared me every time I watched it.

Day 8 – Your favorite villain

Jafar!

Aladdin (1992) is by far one of my favorite Disney movies. I watched it over and over as a kid, and my parents still have the VHS tape.

If I remember correctly, Jafar was one of the first characters that I was truly scared of. His voice got into my head, and I had a few nightmares, too.

I didn’t know who Jonathan Freeman was for years, but his voice haunted me. I hated how mean and evil he was! In my younger years, I recognized pretty quickly that he was greedy, power-hungry, and wanted Princess Jasmine all to himself. Not cool!

I remember watching The Return of Jafar (1994) a few times, and I think we had it on VHS. But it wasn’t as great as the original movie.

Day 7 – Your favorite sidekick

Mushu!!

I think he is one of the best characters Disney has created. I can’t imagine anyone else voicing him other than Eddie Murphy. Mulan (1998) is one of my favorite Disney movies in large part due to Mushu.

I mean, this BuzzFeed article title says it all:

“Dishonor on you! Dishonor on your cow!”

Day 6 – Your favorite animal

Ooooh, this is a tough one! Disney has so many animals that I like.

Tigger!

“Bouncing is what Tiggers do best.”

I loved watching re-runs of The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1988-1991) TV episodes when I was younger. I remember wishing I had a tail like Tigger, although I certainly did my share of bouncing around.

I haven’t seen many of the animated movies, but I did see The Tigger Movie (2000) after its theatrical release. Most recently, I saw Christopher Robin (2018) in theaters with Al and two of our friends. It’s one of the best movies I saw in 2018. If you haven’t seen it, I recommend it (but have tissues handy!).

Day 5 – Your favorite hero

Frozone!!

I loved The Incredibles (2004) and Incredibles 2 (2018). If you haven’t seen the sequel, I highly recommend it. It’s not as good as the original, but it was worth the 14-YEAR WAIT.

Lucius Best, a.k.a. Frozone, is one of my all-time favorites! He’s smooth, funny, and awesome! His moves look, ha, incredible, in both films.

“Where is my super suit?”

Hahahahahaha!

Mulan is another one of my favorite Disney movies. I couldn’t wait to see it in theaters when it was released in 1998!

One of my favorite songs OF ALL TIME is “I’ll Make A Man Out Of You.” I know every word! And it’s so catchy. It’s one of my favorite scenes / montages ever.

Yes, I know, the movie is definitely NOT historically accurate!

But, given that I live about 45 minutes from the Jamestown settlement, when the movie was released in 1995, it was the talk of school! A family friend made me a special Pocahontas dress, and I definitely had the toy jewelry set from Toys R Us!

And I wanted that waterfall in the movie to be REAL!

But, Pocahontas is one of my favorite heroines. I love the movie! She shows courage and strength!
