Soaring Simpson Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 But they are classics, it says so on the box cover Hunchback: 1996 Hercules: 1997 Mulan: 1998 Oh wow, yeah, 1996- that's practically prehistoric If you young people are gonna disagree with each other, I guess I'll go back to only calling films made when Walt was alive classics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They call it "bringing it out of the vault." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mandilambi Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Basically the word "classic" can be defined in a multitude of ways. Random story: my childhood friend and I were hardcore fans of Disney...and when Aladdin came out we pretended that my mom's rug was the magic carpet and that we were Jasmine and Aladdin. He gave me a kiss on my cheek and my two older sisters were spying on us and making fun of us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soaring Simpson Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 FOX AND THE HOOOOOOOUUUUUUND. When I was a kid I was never that into it, because I was also more into princesses and being lost on adventures and finding love on the way (Beauty and the Beast has to be my ultimate favourite, next to The Little Mermaid and Aladdin. However, when I was younger, The Lion King was my favourite so I did like animals, but at the time that film didn't do much for me). I guess as a kid - for me at least - I found the concept of love easier to understand than a deep friendship. Of course I never knew what love really felt like, but I got the whole "boy meets girl, girl meets boy, they like each other, get married and live happily ever after" but the whole friendship thing never struck a chord with me until I was a bit older and understood more - when you're older you find it easier to put yourself in someone else's shoes. Also when you're older you understand the value of true friendship, and that's what that film was about. And it was so sad. Guess I'll put it on my rental list then. I really liked Sleeping Beauty, but in general I grew out of princesses very quickly- and I can't remember any of my friends mentioning them- though everyone (except me- my mom always managed to talk me out of it) raced to watch all the animal ones. Though possibly that's because we were pretty much tied to what was shown in the cinema. Bedknobs and broomsticks being the most exciting, apparantly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gave me a kiss on my cheek and my two older sisters were spying on us and making fun of us! Oh my goodness, I had plenty of moments like those. My eldest sister and I used to sing duets, especially A Whole New World. I always got the male part My sisters are quite a bit older than me though, so I never really hung out with them that much when I was a kid. I just remember being at home singing along to my sing-a-long tapes with my mum at home doing housework. I was always singing Disney songs, I guess it was my first inspiration. It's what got me drawing. Also, because my sisters and I were/are performers, there were always costumes and props. I remember getting changed into this gold dress and walking down the stairs the same time Belle did in the video (I used to put on the tape and act out the story at the same time). Even at the beginning of the film I'd grab a little wicker basket similar to what Belle had and parade around my living room pretending I was in France and pretending I was her. And of course, singing the song. I practically lived in Disney videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also remember watching Songs of the South. OH!! Oh Lord!!! You can't forget Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Put that on your rental list as well. I recommend that one highly.

Soaring Simpson Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I didn't mean you were arguing! Just that you didn't agree with each other! And that if there isn't an accepted definition of "classic" I might as well go back to my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least, I think I've seen it- I might have just seen a million clips I always felt like Roger Rabbit was more for mature audiences. I wouldn't let me little kids watch it. I remember seeing it when I was fairly young, but I didn't catch onto the sexuality really because I was just oblivous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CazGirl Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Jessica Rabbit is not your classic Disney heroine IMO. Who Framed Roger Rabbit isn't exactly your classic Disney film lol, IMO it's in a different league altogether and not one to put next to...say, Snow White or 101 Dalmations. I think it was more aimed at adults than children...I haven't seen it in years, but there are quite a lot of adult themes from what I remember.

It's funny- it made quite a big impression on me, but I haven't the faintest idea what actually happened in the movie- maybe I started watching but was interrupted or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
