I can’t boycott a company I rarely patronize. I will continue to watch General Hospital and the Disneyland 70th Anniversary special on 9/21. Otherwise I don’t watch ABC and rarely watch anything Disney produced beyond the year 2000. I do own a significant amount of Disney stock so I’ll stay in touch...

I understand The Sound of Music will air again on TCM on October 1 at 8 pm (commercial free as always) to commemorate Dame Julie Andrews’ 90th Birthday!

I saw TSOM yesterday afternoon and tonight. Fabulous as always but to be honest the 4k print (if indeed that’s what our theater showed) didn’t look any different to me than the version we saw in theaters for previous anniversary showings. That aspect of the presentation would have to be rated as dis...

In front of The Sound of Music:
Blue Moon about Rodgers and Hart
I definitely want to see that in October.

Recently I just finished 3 biographies of several of my favorite actresses: Eleanor Powell Marilyn Monroe Joan Crawford by Donald Spoto (the only author I can remember without getting the books) I enjoyed each of them. My upcoming reads are biographies of: Patsy Cline Ethel Merman Vivien Leigh Judy ...

Miracles DO happen!!

We went to see Sunset Boulevard 75th Anniversary earlier this month. Fabulous as always!
Looking forward to The Sound of Music 60th Anniversary in 3 weeks!

It’s a shame that dubbing has gone out of favor. I’d rather have a good actor in the role even if he or she lacks the musical talent.

Totally agree with your assessment, Farerb. When you put it that way, I guess I’m not really a Disney adult as fits the current definition. We have a classic Disney night once a month where we watch something before the year 2000, usually something celebrating an anniversary . Whether it’s an animat...

I’m definitely more of a Disney adult when it comes to the Walt era and much of what came after it in films and the parks until about the year 2000. I hate watch much of the post 2000 film releases and my boyfriend and I don’t go to the parks nearly as much as we did in the ‘90s and early ‘00s. The ...

Imo, Beauty and the Beast.

I really don’t mind all the recycled animation, but recycling Snow White’s legendary iconic A Silly Song dance for Maid Marian’s dance in the Phony King of England is blasphemous, imo.
I’ve never accepted it.

And Marni was seen as well as heard in The Sound of Music 1965 as Sister Sophia.

In Romania, we do have it on Disney+. I'm still holding on to my DVDs though, cause with today's sensitivities, you never know what episodes they will begin to cut next. Such a pity they didn't release more substantial editions, with bonus features similar to Seinfeld. Vlad, isn’t the episode where...

Sleeping Beauty was # 1 at the box office for the weeks of February 25, 1959, March 11, 1959 & March 18, 1959. Sleeping Beauty was # 10 in theatrical rentals for 1959 grossing $4.3 million. Even though it never ranked # 1 at the box office, The Shaggy Dog was # 2 in theatrical rentals for 1959 w...

I have the 1957, 1958 London cast with Tommy Steele, 1965 & 2013 CDS. Also a karaoke version of instrumentals that I love to blast and sing along with in the car. However, nothing, imo, tops the 1957 Julie Andrews version. I absolutely adore it even though the Lesley Ann Warren version is the on...

The only new version of R&H’s Cinderella I would watch was if they stuck to the original Hammerstein book and didn’t try to “update” it for “modern” audiences. I could also accept the 1965 changes if they used that Joseph Schrank version. But I know in Disney’s hands there’ll be “improvements” s...

I ordered all 3 Kaufman books (Snow White, Pinocchio and Fun and Fancy Free as well as his book on the True-Life Adventures) from Amazon.
I pre-ordered his Fantasia book from Amazon also.

I pre-ordered this and Kaufman’s Fantasia book. Thanks, Sotiris, for the heads up!

My friend saw it yesterday and she texted me that it was good and she enjoyed it.
But I have to say she’s a 71 year old straight female with limited gaydar.
I must ask her how many were in the theater on a Sunday afternoon of a holiday weekend...

Update: She said the theater was practically empty...
