I was eating dinner and kinda futzing around on Disney+ when Liz ended a phone call and came to join me…
And 3+ hours later, we watched the opening and René’s Little Mermaid scenes, all of Beauty and the Beast, all of Aladdin, and the opening of The Lion King.
Y’all…that stretch of 5 or 6 years that Disney had with those four films is, well, crazy. Those movies are SO GOOD. Not all of the gender stuff holds up super well in the first two, but Aladdin is an absolute romp, and we didn’t even watch Lion King and I was tearing up at that opening.
We decided that Cooper thinks he’s the beast, but he’s more like Abu, especially when Abu is an elephant 😂 he’s also Raja. Tommen is like the ottoman in Beast. And Coco is kinda like the rug, or Phillipe the horse.
Anyway…do yourselves a favor and watch those movies. They’re really spectacular. Hopefully we get to watch Lion King sometime soon. Every time I watch that movie, it makes me want to write a SciFi epic based on it and its source material…a Shakespeare in space, if you will 😊
That’s all for tonight. What a wonderful evening.
