Long-Term Disney Marathon

Hello there! I've decided to take this opportunity to watch all of the Disney films. I'm watching Pocahontas II at the moment. I am a very ashamed Disney fan to say that I hadn't seen quite a lot of them until now. My mum thought that they were too scary for me growing up. My excuse is that it's improving my language skills (I'm watching them in French). All of the songs are translated, too! "La vie est super, mieux que sur la terre, je te le dis!" (the little mermaid, under the sea). There's also "L'air du Vent" instead of colours of the wind... just little things like that. They didn't change John Smith's name is Pocahontas, though, and it's super English. I still think they're just absolutely adorable... and Arièl has an accent, just like Sébastien.

I really don't know why, but I'm incredibly attached to Disney films. I didn't grow up with them (except for Winnie the Pooh) and I didn't meet Tiana, Ariel, Pocahontas, or Rapunzel until this year, but I still love them. Who says an independent-world-travelling-young-woman can't like kid stuff? I have to admit that I haven't seen Aladdin (gasp) or Beauty and the Beast (double gasp).

HOWEVER, I used to watch Sleeping Beauty at my babysitter's house. I wasn't completely deprived of Disney. Don't tell my mother. The film scared me so much that I would hide behind a cushion for half of it, but I begged to watch it every time because I loved being scared. Sleeping Beauty is a horror movie for five-year-olds. I was such a weird child.

I also found a fantastic Disney parody song- If you ever wonder why Disney tales all end in lies, here's what happened after all their dreams came true...

If your mother deprived you of essential education when you were younger, leave a comment below! (or just tell me your favourite kid thing that you still do...)

So... yup. That's about it.
