Someone's journal entry on deviantArt got me thinking about this. I think a lot of us had certain movies that we would watch over and over as children. They may not be particularly good movies, looking back at them now, but when you were a kid there was something about them that you liked.
When I say kid, I mean... hmm, 10 years and under.
In my case, these are the movies I watched TOO MUCH:
The Adventures of Milo and Otis: This is a movie I pretty much had memorized as a kid. I looked it up on Wiki today--and found out it's actually a recut and dub of a Japanese movie! I had no idea! Anyway, the narration really was excellent. And I still enjoy this movie as an adult--who can dislike a movie about a kitten and a puppy running around in the wilderness? What I remember most if Otis helping Milo out of a pit in the ground with rope--and Milo stuck in a box, drifting down a stream. CUTE BABY ANIMALS YEAH
Bambi: I think I just liked movies with animals. Sometimes I wonder if I was an insensitive kid, because I never cried at the part where Bambi's mom died. I think I didn't really get what exactly happened to her, lol. The only parts I didn't used to like were the romantic parts (Bambi and that... girl deer (did she have a name?), Thumper and the yellow rabbit) because I thought that kind of thing was stupid and embarrassing when I was little.
Homeward Bound: (See? Animals.) I think this movie reminded me of Milo and Otis, and that's why I liked it so much. Domesticated animals having an epic journey through the wild. And I liked Chance's voice acting. And the big fluffy cat's attitude. The parts I remember best are when the cat got washed down the river, when the one dog got smacked by a porcupine, and when they are all at the pound and have to find a way to escape.
Rock-A-Doodle: Don Bluth movies are always good, but I think this one will always be my favorite. It's also the silliest, lmao. There are so many great things about this movie--the characters (mouse with a lisp, evil owl, rooster who is clearly supposed to be Elvis), the voices, the dialogue, etc. Whenever I think of this movie, I think of this one quote from it: "Adequate pipe."
Also, there was singing, which is always good when you're kid.
Dumbo: Do I have to explain why I liked this movie? It's an adorable baby elephant with big ears who learns to fly. It's so silly/dumb a plot, it's genius. Also, props for highlighting the way the circus tends to treat animals--although I wasn't thinking about that when I was little, of course. My favorite part was always when they were drunk and blowing odd-shaped balloons... which of course was followed by that trippy-ass Pink Elephants song. wtf.
Also I just realized that the leader crow in that movie is named "Jim Crow." WHAT'S GOING ON THERE
Fantasia: The original one. I watched that shit so many times. Pretty moving pictures to music? Hell yeah. My favorites were the dancing mushrooms, the segment about Pegasuses and super-pretty centaurs, and the ballet with hippos and crocodiles. I would never watch the very last segment with the giant demon thing summoning ghosts and stuff. The big demon guy didn't scare me so much--but the ghosts did. D:
...I want to rewatch this now.
Jurassic Park: Who didn't like this movie? Fucken' classic. I always liked the T-Rex, despite the fact that he is horrifying... but he's still not as bad as the Velociraptors. I think this was the scariest thing I would watch when it came to movies as a child, lol. I scared easily (I would hide when they showed a close-up of a lobster in Milo and Otis because I thought it looked weird and scary...). I hated the scene with Newman and the poison-spitting dinosaur.
The Three Caballeros: LATIN AMERICAN CULTURE IN A DISNEY MOVIE? It happened.
Oddly enough, the thing I always remember about this movie is the guy who played some sort of very small instrument by holding one end of it with his teeth. I know that sounds very odd, and that's because I can't for the life of me recall a detailed picture of it to my head. Was he tapping something against his teeth, or plucking a rubber band? Whatever it was, it made a cool sound.
I'm glad Donald was chosen to do the one Latin American movie Dinsey did. I always liked Donald best.
An American Tail: Fievel Goes West: For some reason I never saw the original An American Tail movie until I was older, but I got into this movie just fine anyway. I liked the songs and the animation. Especially the animation--for some reason there are a lot of moments from this movie that I can recall in my head with perfect clarity, the way light hit the water, or the drying ground cracked, or little movements the characters did.
I still laugh when I see "The Laaaaazy Eye" bit.
So, those are some of them! I need to get back to work soon, so here are just the titles of some movies I watched a lot as a kid:
We're Back!
The Land Before Time
The Little Mermaid
The Rescuers Down Under
Fern Gully
As you can see, I didn't believe in watching Live Action movies when I was little unless it centered on cute animals or Dinosaurs Trying To Eat You.
