Countdown to Disney! ~ Day 4

Favorite Scene from my Favorite Movie

I am completely and utterly in love with Captain Jack Sparrow.  All four Pirates of the Caribbean films are among my favorites; however, the first one holds a special place in my heart.  It was the first film that gave us a glimpse into the life of Captain Jack Sparrow, along with many nods to the original attraction.  

Bring Me That Horizon

So, here it is! The moment you’ve all been waiting for: my favorite scene.

Countdown to Disney! ~ Day 6

Favorite Disney Classic

 Alrighty, so this is a difficult category to choose just one favorite.  That’s why I’m going to break it up into two subcategories.  Clever, eh? 

My favorite Disney Classic that was animated by all of Disney’s Nine Old Men is Peter Pan.  I love the storyline and the characters.  I’m a huge fan of pirates (in case you hadn’t picked up on that yet haha :D) and fairies, so this film delivers on both accounts.  I’m also enthralled with the idea of not wanting to grow up and enter the “real” world, which is probably why I LOVE the magic of Walt Disney World and have always dreamed of working there. 

My other favorite Disney Classic is The Lion King.  Simba is so gosh darn adorable, even if he is in trouble.  All of the characters are incredible, as are the songs.  As I mentioned in the “about me” post, this film was my favorite movie up until Pirates of the Caribbean.  Despite its fall from my number one spot, it will always have a special place in my heart. 



Awww, so cute!

Countdown to Disney! ~ Day 7

Favorite Live-Action/Animated Film:  Pete’s Dragon

Pete’s Dragon was released in 1977.  This Disney film combined the magic of animation with live-action.  Where else can you find a young orphan with a 20 foot tall dragon as a best friend?  Oh, and I forgot to mention – he can also become invisible at a moment’s notice.  This is often an overlooked film, which is too bad; there are amazing songs and some great acting.  Helen Reddy does a fantastic job as Nora, especially when singing “Candle on the Water.” 

I am always delighted to see Elliot and Pete in the Main Street Electrical Parade.  It is definitely my favorite part!

This film is absolutely charming and a true classic!  If you have never seen this film before, then I encourage you to watch it.  As a matter of fact, I think I will watch Pete’s Dragon on this brazzle dazzle day!
