Brother Bear -

Mary Poppins, the whole DVD.
Julie Andrews <3 is wonderful! I liked the music bit with Dick Van Dyke, Julie, and Rick Sherman.

"Chimpanzoo" I wished they would've added that; would've been cool to see what it looked like with the actors!

Finding Nemo

The Lion King.

After Mufasa's death, Scar tells Simba, "Run away and never come back.

Near the end when Simba returns to Pride Rock and Scar is on the ground, Simba tells Scar the same thing

Lion King: Still my favorite Disney movie!

I had to watch the, "Be Prepared" scene twice!

Beauty and the Beast - What can I say? I'm a sucker for great love stories...

Toy Story & Toy Story 2
I couldnt help myself

I recently saw Howl's Moving Castle.

Fun & Fancy Free

I had never seen it before. It was quite interesting- like two stories in one. I had actually seen the Mickey & the Beanstalk sequence on the Treasures (MMinLCvol2) and on the Disney Channel when I was younger. I thought the Bongo sequence was very cute and reminded me of all the old Disney cartoons I used to watch as a kid.

Pretty fluffy but a cute addition to my collection

The Many Adventues of Winnie the Pooh

I watched it today after reading the Paul Winchell R.I.P. thread, and I enjoyed it. Sterling Holloway and Paul Winchell gave excellent performances. The way they delivered some of their comedic lines cracked me up. I forgot how good the characters were. I liked Gopher's random fall-down-the-hole moments.
7/10

Sleeping Beauty

We are watching
Herbie goes Banannas

Hmmmmmm. Take a wild guess.

This time I watched it on the TV instead of messing around with it on my computer. It's great watching it with surround sound especially with my system because I got 2 tweeters and mid-range speakers plus one massive 10", 400 watt. sub-woofer (that gets the whole house shaking). Just makes the moive watching experience a whole lot better.

The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh

I enjoyed it. I have the commemorative editon on VHS and I won't part with it. At the beginning a couple of the people who did the voices talked. I also liked how the gopher kept falling down the hole. Tomorrow I'm watching Pooh's Grand Adventure: In Search Of Christopher Robin.

Heidi, which I am wrapping up a review of right now.

Really good review. This is my favourite of the Heidi movies. I had the VHS but upgraded to DVD. The VHS copy came with a copy of the book when I bought it.

Nala, you gave me the idea to revisit this from my old VHS that I haven't watched in forever, and I'm sure glad I watched it. This is, hands down, my favorite DTV sequel after the Aladdin ones. Since the Pooh voice actors have been passing away, I've been watching all my Pooh movies for the nostalgia and I've been really getting back into some of them. I stopped watching Pooh when I was like 9, because I got the impression that it was "childish" or "girly". This movie turned me around. This DTV sequel is the real thing. Anyone who hates DTV's, watch this and I guarantee you'll get a ton of respect back for them.

The characters stay true to their original selves excellently. You'll think Walt Disney himself helped with the plot and character development. Pooh and Christopher Robin's friendship is shown so beautifully; you really believe that these two love each other so much and you just know that Pooh will do whatever it takes to find his best friend. I give this DTV a 8/10, a higher grade than I gave the original Pooh movie. The only problem that I had with the movie was that Christopher Robin was just randomly at that deserted cave at the end of the movie instead of being at school like he said he would be. I know that Christopher was probably looking for Pooh and the others, but c'mon; that just seemed a little too convienent for our bear of very little brain. Oh, well.

Oh, and the song "Wherever You Are" is the best, and I mean the best, song I've ever heard in a DTV. That song is right up there with the Fab Four's songs in terms of goodness (not a word, I know). That song alone is enough of a reason to get this movie ASAP. It is the most touching song I've ever heard (that's including every Disney song I've heard); I felt so sorry for Pooh when he was singing that song. It almost moved me to tears and I actually remember being moved to tears when I saw this as a child. Watch this song. It is excellent.

As far as the voice actors go, I thought Paul Winchell was much better than Jim Cummings as Tigger, and John Fiedler pwns as Piglet. I kept trying to tell who was the better voice for Pooh, Jim Cummings or Sterling Holloway, and throughout the movie, Sterling just seemed to be better than Jim as Pooh. He just gave the character a little more "lovable dope" thing that we all love from Pooh. But when Jim sang "Wherever You Are", I figured out that he's just as good as Sterling.

Now, I'm off to watch that song again.

I justed finished watching Aladdin. I love the summer holiday, so many Disney movies I can see within days!
