Went to see a special screening of Saving Mr. Banks on the Disney Studio lot today. They've only opened the studio to the public for a movie exclusive twice -- once for The Princess and the Frog and for this movie. It was an incredible night. I've never been on the Disney lot before and it was certainly an unforgettable experience. As you watch the movie, you see the buildings you JUST walked past as locations for the film! And there's nothing more magical than watching a Disney movie inside of the Disney theater.
It's almost midnight so I'm trying to fit this entry in but definitely more photos to come. It was an incredible movie and an even more incredible experience made possible by Disney.
( Photos on the lot! )
1. I watched Queer as Folk episode 101 last night and the nostalgia hit me like a ton of bricks. I had a lot of warm and fuzzies and I can't wait to marathon the series when I have a little more time!
2. I also got sucked into a tumblr vortex for the past few days where I did nothing but get connected from tumblr to tumblr to tumble. Of course, ran into some gifs that I think are worth seeing. I'll start with a safe one and then dive into the not so safe for work ones.
Who doesn't love this speech? I believe in this.
( Other QaF related gifs. )
I'll be back with a tumblr list.
3. I also totally became obsessed with Tangled the movie and got sucked into 10,000 Disney/Disneyland tumblrs. My favorite line from the movie?
"You're being strangely cryptic as you wrap your magic hair around my injured hand."
I seriously died laughing.
I'm also probably going to do a Disney meme. One's a regular Disney themed meme and the other's a Disneyland meme. I do love them both so much. I'm Disney deprived, sigh.
Hope everyone who celebrates had a great Easter! This is the first Easter that I missed The Ten Commandments. I forgot it was on Saturday and I still don't own the movie. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
cindergal, I hope you had a very happy birthday! Everyone have a great week. :D
I am a Disney fan to the end ...
Apr. 8th, 2009 10:25 am... but the latest trends of High School Musical, Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers is absolutely driving me insane. I cannot wait until these fads are over so we never have to hear about them again except from the former teenyboppers who used to idolize them.
Sorry kids. Believe it or not it is a fad.
That said, this was an interesting article on the Hannah Montana Movie. I like to remain well informed. Now I have a question for those fellow Disney fans or just opinions in general: Why are Disney characters not allowed to have mothers AND fathers?
Some do. Princess Aurora had parents. But they didn't raise her or anything or I don't know if that really counts. There's still a giant disassociation that she has from them. Um, let's see. Anyone else? Oh! Mulan had a mother and a father. That was rare.
I know that generally these ideas stem from their original stories like Briar Rose and those stories stem from old folk stories. So, what is it about folk stories that took the children away from their parents. Was there a moral in there somewhere?
But newer, original Disney stories are also kind of lacking in family representations like Finding Nemo (the Mom was eaten), Meet the Robinsons (wanted to find adoptive mother), etc. I'm not asking that the nuclear family is represented in every film but you know ... at least some of them would be nice.
