Disney movies

It was Disney all the way this weekend.

First I saw The Rescuers and The Rescuers Down Under back-to-back. I’ve really liked TRDU for years with its glorious animation and Bernard and Bianca are so cute and Jake is a cool…whatever. And Marahute is one amazing eagle. The whole sequence when she is flying with Cody through the clouds is one of my favorite scenes.

The Rescuers is not really liked in my family. (In my mom’s case she thinks it is because she saw TRDU first and was spoiled by it.) I always liked the opening credits, how it was just a series of stills and the song was nice. Seeing the movie again, I realized it was better than I remembered. I really like the style of the animation used for the movie. The story was very good. The characters were good. And there was a lot of chemistry between Bernard and Bianca.

Then PotC (1) set sail (I hadn’t seen it in ages). I have to see the second movie now. Johnny Depp was brilliant as Captain Jack Sparrow, pure and simple. He deserved his nom for best actor for that role. He had the coolest entrance of the characters in the movie. Norrington is way cool. Jack the monkey is so cute. And the music is pretty good.

And lastly, High School Musical closed out the weekend. I’d heard a lot (mostly good stuff) about the movie and was interested in seeing it. Well, I liked it very much. It was a story, cheesy I know but also loveable. The cast was all good; I liked all the characters. The choreography was awesome, especially in Stick to the Status Quo and Getcha Head in the Game. Despite the bad lip-syncing, some of the songs were very good. Numbers that stood out for me were: Start of Something New, Stick to the Status Quo, When there was Me and You, and Breaking Free. All inn all, it is a delightful film and landed on my fav. movie list.

Norrington wins at life.

Oh! Last night there was an advert on TV for a special linited edition DVD release of The Little Mermaid, and you just popped into my head. Rosa and Ariel have become synonomous in my mind - that scares me. :)

Wow, that is scary...but cool too. :D My brother actually went and bought the special edition DVD for me even though I was going to try to wait for my birthday; he knew I wouldn't last that long. :)

High School Musical is one of those movies I didn't expect to like, but liked anyway. Keep an eye out for the sequel!

Yay for Disney weekends!!

I must say, High School Musical is one of the best pieces of utter rubbish I've seen in a long time. I loved it MUCHLY. I can't stop singing the songs! How good is the Status Quo one?? Hehe ^_^

I agree with you 100%! It is corny and yet so likable! The songs were awesome. I have all of them going in my head. Hehe.

I need to download them all! I've got 'Breaking Free' so far, just because on my geography field trip everyone kept singing/playing it on the coach. Sometimes the only way to get a song out of your head is to listen to it!

I completely agree. You have to listen to it over and over again until you grow sick of it!

Where do you dpwnload your songs?
