good times

when i was little, my favorite movie was Beauty and the Beast.
I still love it to this day.
Apparently I would pretend to be Belle, and i would hold the movie cover as my book and sing the opening song, and then tell my dad that he was Gaston and then he would come in and sing his part. i'm sure it was adorable ;)

but that's besied the point.

As we were listening to disney songs in the car the other day, my youngest brother (Drew, age 6), asked who Gaston was.

I just about lost it.
MY little brother didn't know who Gaston was?! I was horrified. This must be remedied at once.
Well, I was out and about this evening but Emily and Drew stayed home and watched Beauty and the Beast. As I was getting them set up, Emily had to ask me what end of the VHS went into the player first. (has it really been that long since we've used VHS's? ...I remember buying our first DVD player. yikes.)
Also, as I was getting ready to leave, a preview for Aladdin came on.
oh. my. goodness. a preview for something i'd known my whole, entire life. in fact, it even had the date, that Aladdin was coming out in 1992. yup, it's as old as me. And it's still good.
And it had that male voice that announced practically all the Disney movies.

Later tonight, I watched Tarzan. also an excellent movie (and more violent/gory than i had thought as a kid). which led to an analysis of disney movie villains and how they die. we came to the conclusion that Disney has some weird fascination with people falling to their death. If you think about it, if a villain dies, it's usually falling to his/her death.
fascinating.

feeling a tad old at the moment.
and i don't even turn 19 for 3 more days!
