Disney Peeves

Ever since I became a Disney geek the one thing that has bothered me more then anything is when people call Spaceship Earth a golfball. IT IS NOT A GOLF BALL!!!!! IT'S A ROUND SPACESHIP! Anyone else bothered by this, or am I a freak?

Movie Review: Sleeping Beauty

So this week a huge DVD release occured: Sleeping Beauty: 50th aniversary on HD-DVD and Blue-Ray. I don't own a Blue-Ray player but I did buy the DVD version and was really impressed...kind of.

Let me start by saying that this is the first ever traditionally animated feature to be realesed on Blue-Ray, and I know it was the film's 50th aniversary, but I think they should of released a more timeless film as the first release. I'm not bagging on Sleeping Beauty, but it kind of lost its luster over time, and this Halloween, you'll probably see more Cinderellas then Auroras (and even more Hannah Montanas) and ask a class of first graders what was the name of the princess in Sleeping Beauty? Most of them wouldn't know Aurora's name, or how to prononce it.

So onward, I must say I hadn't seen Sleeping Beauty in some time and really didn't know how they made a feature film about a sleeping princess. I did like the movie but I think the Fairys (Flora, Fauna, and Merriweather) got way too much screen time and the prince didn't get enough screentime (and he looked too much like Johnny Quest)

But I digress, I liked this movie, it isn't (and it will never be) my favorite Disney film. Even if Aurora is my favorite princess. So I give this release a B+ and I reccomend everyone go and buy this release before IT IS SEALED INTO THE DISNEY VAULT FOR 7 YEARS!

Disneyana Yard Sale

Yesterday I was out checking out yard sales around my neighborhood and stumbled upon a yard sale FILLED with Disneyana. It was all run by a woman who was an avid disneyana collector and a member of the NFFC (my mom thought I didn't know what NFFC was) but let me tell you I got some pretty awesome stuff! I got 3 posters that were put up in stores to promote different Disney stuff, one was for Melody Time, another was promoting The Spirit of Mickey, and the last was to get people to join the "brand new" Disney Video Rewards Club. I also got two little wind-up toy cars with Donald Duck in them (Your never too old for a wind-up toy driven by a duck!). But coolest of all were 3-Demensional ads for stores! I got one of Mickey & Donald at the beach (Not advertising anything in particullar), part of the 3-D ad for Beauty & The Beast: An Enchanted Christmas, and coolest of all was a 3-D ad (The entire thing) to promote the relese of Lady & The Tramp on VHS! I'll post pictures later if you want to come see them.

Sorry for the lack of humor here folks! I'll be funny in the future.
