Disney, Christmas and Monk

I haven't written in 15 days, this post is overdue. I don't really feel like updating you on how I am feeling. The cast is off. I will say that.


I am writing today's post for a few reasons. 1. I wanted to update you on my Disney watching adventure. 2. I want to tell you how excited I am for Christmas music and 3. I want to tell you how completely sad I am that MONK is over for me. So without further-a-do...

1. As some of you may now, I have made it a mission to watch every single Disney and Disney/PIXAR movie (with a few exceptions, such as Halloween movies and others). I will never reach this goal. Here is a link to all of the movies: http://www.disneymovieslist.com/disney-movies.asp
I thought that I had watched a lot of Disney movies, but as I look at the list, the ones I have watched was shorter than the ones I haven't watched, excluding sequels...because just no. I just want to watch the ones on Disney Scene It so that I can crush people.
 This week I did watch several Disney movies, and most of them I deem completely inappropriate for children. There is some pretty heavy stuff in these movies. I will admit that my heart was racing a few times. So I am giving you a short list of Disney movies that my children will not be allowed to watch, nor will I ever show to a child.  

1. The Fox and The Hound- what some view as a cute movie about friendship, I view as the director setting your heart up to be broken, multiple times... in the first 2 minutes and then the rest of the movie. I seriously wanted to cry and this is a cartoon, it is made up. I will not put my children through heart break that young.

2. The Great Mouse Detective- OKAY SERIOUSLY. I have some really strong feelings about this movie. I wanted to punch the screen. I had to turn it off at one point because I seriously was terrified. There is this creepy bat that has red eyes and a serial killer voice that jumps out and I kid you not, my heart stopped. I WILL NEVER LET A CHILD WATCH THIS MOVIE. It is not just the bat. The villain is a complete creep who gets even worse at the end when he literally looks like a crazed rat who could eat human flesh. The fat mouse gets drunk, there is death and a slutty little female mouse at the bar where there is a huge bar fight, and more drunken mouses (get over it, I don't like mice ;) see what I did there?) The Great Mouse detective is terrifying and it should be burned for forever.

3. Atlantis- while I enjoyed this movie, I feel there are some elements that may be unsuitable for children.

4. The Hunchback of Notre-Dame- if you think that my #2 reason is long, let me tell you a few things about this movie. 1. I know that it is a classic book, good for it. It should have remained a book. 2. I know that it is teaching children that it is what is on the inside that counts, and that's a good lesson and all, but seriously this adult book should not have been made into a children's movie. I really enjoyed it, and I found myself tearing up. There were parts of it that made me go awww and then there were parts of it that made me want to smash my television because I could not stand the corruption. I do not think that children could even understand the plot of the story, and maybe that isn't the point, but they didn't do a good job of turning a heavy book into a light and cheery children's movie. There were some parts of it that were just so demonic and then there were parts that were downright creepy. I recommend it for adults... never, ever, ever children though. Also if you want a song about how the body of Christ should truly be, listen to the song Esmeralda sings while she is in the Cathedral, seriously it is intense.

5. The Rescuers- I love the Rescuers Down Under, but the first movie was a tad disappointing, first off the villain is scarier than Cruella DeVil, and we all know that she is the devil in cartoon form. The Rescuers was just creepy. And a mouse gets drunk, and the villain dress provocatively.

Now that I have told you about the horrible movies I watched this week, I rewatched the Emperors New Groove, and I love that movie. Then I watched Kronk's New Groove and it was like 5 times funnier. So go with those movies, or Peter Pan if you want to watch a Disney movie.

Point 2- I watched the Christmas episode of Cake Boss and now I just want it to snow and I want to listen to Christmas music all day and watch Christmas movies every weekend. But also, fall just began and I love fall, so I don't want to rush it out the door.

Point 3- My mom and I began to watch Monk this season, and today closed that chapter. To begin, I have never been a fan of crime shows, but I really liked Monk. Like I loved Monk. I cried, I laughed and I fell in love with Dandy Disher who is literally my new fictionally boyfriend! (sorry Peter Pan) I really enjoyed the series and I was really sad when it was all over. I honestly can say that it is one of my favorite shows. You know when you watch the final episode of FRIENDS and the door closes on the last scene and a little part of your heart breaks inside... that is what happened to my heart today. Monk was a great summer series.

So that concludes my blog. I went to a wedding today for a friend, who is more like my sister and it was wonderful, then I finished Monk, whined about my pain a lot, took my first online History test and watched Whose Line Is It Anyways. I am a tired girl tonight. I had a hard day, and I won't be going to church because of the pain. So Hello to all of my lovely RiverValley friends!! Praise Jesus extra hard for me ;) Just kidding, He and I will have some praise time tomorrow :) Thanks for checking out my blog and feel free to ask me my opinions on anything Disney, actually on anything at all :) I'm bored! Goodnight!
