i've realized how much i've been hooking for disney cartoon since i was a kid...

oh my god, i haven't actually thought about how much of a disney girl i was until i took this flixter quiz from donna, about identifying these classic disney cartoons.

i've just realized how much i've been hooking for disney stuff since i was a kid. i actually remebered all of my video cassette recorders before in my bedroom, all of which were disney cartoons. from snow white to the little mermaid to beauty and the beast. i really couldn't believe that i've outgrown them and i couldn't believe that these classic films are until now, still loved by kids.

ok, here comes my DISNEY CLASSIC NOSTALGIA! bring it on!!!

The Rescuers
who could forget about these two cute mice named Bernard and Bianca from the Rescue Aid Society who came to rescue the poor Penny from the evil Madame Medusa. I've remembered how much I've cried all throughout this movie and I couldn't forget the time when i always sing "Don't cry little one.." as penny's tears came falling to the waters.
awww...really nice movie. i think it was released around 1990 something.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame
i haven't actually seen this movie on the big screen but i've seen this on video before. i didn't actually like this one but still, i watched it since it's disney. haha!

Pocahontas
i knew about vanessa williams because of this movie. i've seen it here in davao when i first got here last 1995. i even have a T-shirt with meeko and flit along with my cousins who were also crazed by this movie.

Mulan
i think, aside from aladdin, this was one of the asian disney classic that i've seen. released on 1998, i think. i've loved her character in here and of course, who could actually forget about cricket and mushu, the great dragon?
i've also loved its OST and this was the time when i first liked christina aguilera.

The Lion King
released in 1994, i think. i remembered, i was still in manila when i watched this. i even thought that lions really were sweet talkers like the lions in this movie. i've memorized all their songs and yeah, i have a complete album of it.

Peter Pan
this was probably the oldest movie that i've seen. i haven't actually seen this on cinema (except for that one with jeremy sumpter). i've only seen this on video that was given by my aunt from the united states. so yeah, like most kids, this also made me believe that flying could actually be achieved if you think of happy thoughts. haha! silly me!


The Fox and the Hound
one of the best movies that i've ever seen. also seen this on a vcr because it's also an old film. i really loved tod and cooper so much for they have been great friends despite their differences. this movie also built a gap between me and my friend before because he actually lost my vcr when he borrowed it from me. but we're ok now. just reminds me every time i see this picture. haha!

Aladdin
i remember watching this film with my sister while she was still pregnant with my nephew. i think i was around 6-7 years old that time, it was an awesome movie. this one really had me hooked because of those genie and magic carpet things which you can't actually see often in other fairy tale movies.


Sleeping Beauty
and did i mention that peter pan was the oldest film that i ever saw? well i think this one comes second. haha! wonder how on earth was i able to watch this? well i've seen this on disney channel way-way back when they have this nice SLEEPING BEAUTY anniversary thing. well i bet princess aurora's dubber was already dead, may she rest in peace. hehehe...


Cinderella
oh my god! and as if peter pan was enough! haha! this film was released early 1950's. probably the most classic among the famous disney princesses. and i am truly amazed that even though it has already been 57 years old, cinderella is still famous among kids younger my age and it was also often revived on live action movies with a twist, of course (think the cinderella story). haha!
glass slippers, anyone?


Lady and the Tramp
awww, another classic animal movie. hehehe... i really loved the sweetness of this film and who could actually forget the sweet spaghetti dinner by moonlight that gained a lot of imitators? sweet eh?


Bambi
now, i hate this movie! haha! oh i don't actually hate it, i just didn't like it that much. i was also able to watch it on video since it was released in 1940's something. well, old movies really don't appeal that much to me, eh? haha!

Dumbo
know what, i have a feeling that i am the only one who actually knew about the existence of this flying elephant. anyone knew about him too, please raise your hands! haha!
well i loved dumbo. i loved his mom, i loved his ears, i loved the stork that brought him to his mom. i love the sadness of this movie. i also love the way it was ended. indeed, despite the differences, someone can still do something.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
alright, i didn't know that this movie was released late 1930's. haha! oh my god! think about that, that's exactly the childhood years of my grandmother! haha!
oh well, i remember having a huge story book based n this movie and my mom used to read it to me every night. yes, pabalik-balik! haha! weird, eh? yeah, i'm actually weird! haha!

Pinocchio
aww, i forgot his cat's name here but i can't quite forget his father, gipetto who lived inside a whale while in search of him! haha!
and jiminy cricket who became his only conscience while he was being turned into a bad boy by the evil stromboli! weeee! did it ever amaze you how those names retained in my mind for so many years? haha!

alright, those disney features i've posted above were only a few from what i've actually seen. they were examples from the quiz which i took on flixter from my friend, donna. hehehe...i've actually got the perfect score of answering which disney movies were those made me think that hey, i really did grow up as a disney kid! haha!
