My dad had his favorite Disney movie, I remember mom telling us that when my brother played "The Bare Necessities" in seventh grade concert band. The movie was "Jungle Book". My mom never really mentioned her favorite but she would always watch "Lady And The Tramp or Bambi" with my nephew . When we were young, dad took us to see "The Rescuers and Robbin Hood (animated in animal characters). My favorites "Cinderella but The Little Mermaid" mostly because of the music. My daughter loved "Mulan" When I was a sophomore in High school I did a report on Disney Animation. It had always intrigued me how "Snow White " was the first full length animated motion picture. I always wanted to go into animation but never seemed to catch on to the technique. Now everything is done on the computer, not hand drawn like it was in the early years.
You know I think we really never loose that connection , whether its between our parents and us or our children and ourselves. They are wonderful memories and as we grow older they become more precious. That we never outgrow, I know Mom and dad still share memories from their childhood.
Ironically, I remember when my late husband Jeff and I were dating, I bugged him to take me to see "Beauty And The Beast" when it first came out ( an artist thing...right?) he grumbled but indulged me. After we were married, the film was one of the first VHS movies to come into our collection, I still have it ,although, I haven't played it since the kids were real small.
I like to remember the good times, I know so much has changed, some of those in our lives back then are gone. I know more good memories are out there Schizz, if it hadn't been for you, I think I would had never been able to through my husband's death and I mean that in a good way. You encouraged me to forge on to the future and made me realize that I had so much to live for. There is life still to be lived, I thank you and love you for that..You have always kept your wits about you. Over the years I have been able to appreciate you much better! I do love you so very much, they aren't just words, its the truth!
