the story of a life of deprivation

I have a confession.

its shocking.

I haven't seen most of the classic Disney movies. ever.

sad right?




my mom wouldn't let me see Lion King because Simba (or whatever that guy's name is) talks to his dead dad, and she's all "you can't talk to dead people. EVIL!!!!!"

I think my mom is against imagination.

anyway,
when I walked into class this morning and sat my stuff down, Nova called me over and said "we're discussing Disney movies"

me: I haven't seen like, any of them.

nova: I know, but come here anyway!

*walks over"

kenzie: you haven't seen the Disney movies? like not even the princess ones?

me: no....

keenan: Snow White?

me: no

keenan: Sleeping Beauty?

me: nope

keenan: Cinderella?

me: no

keenan: Beauty and the Beast? Aladdin?

me: no and no. I have seen Mulan, though. and I think I saw some of Tarzan....

keenan: what about The Little Mermaid? Pocahantis? (I don't even know how to spell that one)

me: no. I haven't.

keenan: not even Lion King?!

me: um....I think I've seen one of them....? not sure which though.

keenan: there's only 2. and that one with timon and pumba.

me: yeah! the 1/2 one. thats the one I saw.

keenan: *wide eyed stare*

me: *overhears Nova and Kenize talking about something to do with Bambi* oh. haven't seen that one either.

*everyone gasps and freaks out completely*

kenzie: you haven't seen Bambi?!

me: no.....I just said that.....

bethany (I think...there were too many people talking at once to keep up w/ who said what): I like that one that had the fox.....

me: the fox and the hound. I used to love that one.

kenzie: good. at least you've seen that one.

nova: they made a second one, fox and the hound 2. worst. movie. ever.

maran: what was that older one....? with talking.....oh yeah! the little toaster guy!

bethany: I don't think was even a Disney movie

phoebe: I think it was the first one Disney and Pixar made together....

the conversation kind of drifted after a while, but you get the idea.

the worst part is, I want to work at Disney/Pixar one day, making movies that everyone loves, even years later (except people like me, I have no clue if I like them)

they probably won't even hire me because of my lack of knowledge about their classics.

Nova is planning an intervention. we're gonna watch all of them one day of spring break, and knowing her, it will be straight through with no breaks for popcorn or drink refills. or bathroom breaks o.o



I also haven't seen Lady and the Tramp, Pinocchio, The Sword in the Stone, Alice in Wonderland, 101 Dalmations, Peter Pan (though I have seen the live-action version of it), Jungle Book, or the Hunchback of Notre Dame; just to name a few....

Oh good, I was going to make you list a majority of the ones you haven't seen but you did it for me.

And psh, you have the conversation completely out of order! :P

well its not like I can remember it perfectly, I was just trying to get the gist of the conversation.

I love popcorn, btw, so you better buy lots of buttery kind for movie day.
