I didn't realize that this was for newbies to introduce themselves, so I came on here when I wasn't much of a newbie anymore.

Nice stories. I'll admit I haven't ready many, only like...five. I'll try to read all of them eventually, okay? What a cute story Fidget. I like romance and it's cool you both share the Disney passion. So now for my story...

Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum, and I'm so glad I'm finally a member! First off I'll let you know that I am a boy. A guy. A male human. My Disney story starts with me at three years old. My parents were at a party, and the house they were at had a really nice, big jungle gym. I was on those rings that dangle and you go from one to the other (sort of like monkey bars). When I was reaching for one of the rings, I missed it, and fell. I broke my arm. I ran crying to my mom, and to cheer me up when I got home, they rented some movies for me. Now, I was three, so I have trouble remembering, and I can't ask my parents to remember every movie they rented for me, but my mom thinks she rented The Wizard of Oz and Walt Disney's Cinderella for me. According to my mom, I was enthralled with both movies. I think I can remember having my arm in a cast as a sat on the couch and seeing a scene in Cinderella where the stepsisters are practicing music(which is a pretty funny scene, and I love Lucifer the cat's reaction!). So from then on I LOVED and was OBSESSED with Cinderella,as well as The Wizard of Oz. I constantly watched those movies, and I remember that all the scenes with Cinderella and the Fairy Godmother were my favorite, and they still are today. I drew lots and lots (maybe hundreds) of pictures of pumpkins with huge curling vines and Cinderella in her ball gown. I was so obsessed I tell you I must have memorized the whole thing and nearly memorized every frame of that gown transformation! I WAS OBSESSED! I later learned that Cinderella was a common story the Disney movie was based on, and even though I read, watched, and liked many other versions, Walt Disney's was and is my favorite. And as for later Disney movies, I remember seeing Sleeping Beauty at my grandmother's house, and many fond memories of seeing that and other Disney movies at my aunt's. In Sleeping Beauty there are a few scenes where the fairies change the color's of the dress from pink to blue. I liked the dress blue and my cousin liked it pink, so we argued over that in good fun. I remember that along with seeing The Little Mermaid and other Disney movies with my aunt, my cousins and I watched the old Disney shorts, like The Skeleton Dance and Music Land, which are REALLY nice shorts. In theaters I remember seeing Aladdin, which I love, and later one of the rereleases of Snow White with my parents. The reason so many of these memories were with my aunt was because my mom had to work a lot so my aunt was a good choice to take care of me while my mom worked.

As you can see, I really love the Disney movies that involve lots of magic. Genies, fairies, witches. I really liked how every time there was magic there were always lots of sparkles. I LOVE SPARKLES (come on, admit they're cool...or at least pretty to look at). Later I gradually kept collecting the books that came out for my favorite Disney films and I kept watching the movies all the time. I read Disney Magazine(which unfortunately now has ended). I saw The Little Mermaid On Ice which was fantastic! And after dreaming and wanting to for so long I finally got to go to Walt Disney World in the summer before I entered 6th grade. IT WAS AWESOME! I saw Tarzan there and thought it was pretty good.

Now that I'm older I appreciate animation more in general. I really think that so far Disney is the best. Miyazaki's is very good and I love his films but his characters don't look quite as realistic as the old classic Disney films. One thing I wish about animation today is that it would try to be more like the classic Disney films in having more naturalistic looking characters. I can't believe that Rapunzel Unbraided, which could be the next Disney classic film based on a fairy tale, is going to be in CGI! But, back to my story... I really like Disney and I can't wait until Cinderella Special Edition comes to DVD this October. I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!! Walt Disney's Cinderella is my favorite movie. Not just my favorite Disney movie, or my favorite animated movie. It's my favorite movie.

Thanks for listening to my really long story. YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!! I hope to make many posts, as well as many friends, on this forum.

By the way, a little note: I read in the book Disney's Aladdin: The Making of an Animated Film this quote, "Back in 1939, when Disney was making Pinocchio, Oskar Fischinger, the abstract film-maker from Germany, designed the hilations that come from the Blue Fairy's wand where she gives the gift of life to the little woodenhead. They were composed of an animated pattern of wavy lines in white ink. In later years, magic wands gave forth what has come to be known as Disney dust." Thus, my name. Oh, and my real name is Michael.

I think I got it. Welcome to the forums Ma'mm!

Welcome to the forums Disney Duster! Great Story. I hope you have fun posting on the forums! I joined just a few weeks ago, and everyone has been very nice to me. I'm sure you'll be welcome here.

Thank you very much Pasta67! Your story was one of the few I've read. You had a pretty great story. It was so cool how you discovered your favorite Disney film in the attic and at first didn't even think you would like it! I'm glad you like Aladdin. It's also one of my favorites.

Well, thank you for reading my story! If you read that, then you must have read when ChayChay thought I was a girl and I corrected her. Is that why you wrote you were a boy three times at the beginning of your story? I don't want to put you on the spot or anything, I just thought it was funny.

Well, to be honest, at first I was in a hurry to get through a bunch of stories before I posted mine, so I skipped a lot of comments on stories and pretty much skimmed them. But now that you told me about that comment, I'll have to go back and read those and the other stories too! That's pretty funny. As to why I told you three times I'm a boy...I just did it to be funny but also make sure there was no mistake what gender I was. And your "ma'm" comment on mine was funny.

Also, would it be safe to say that Aladdin is your favorite movie just like Cinderella is mine, as in not just your favorite animated movie or just your favorite Disney movie?

Greetings to the Disney Duster. Sorry, but I have a feeling that everything is clean and we will not need your services after all! No, I'm just kidding--you know, the Duster and your favorite movie is Cinderella.

Anyway, I'm really happy you're here and I really like that your posts are long and informative. Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to UD, Disney Duster!

Very interesting name. We got Disney (_fill in blank_) on this forum!
Enjoy the forum, and if you'd like to make friends friends friends, there's the chat. Then again, you can also make enemies...

Haha, just kidding!

Hi there! I just joined, but I have been lurking here since March or so. I finally caved and joined.

My name is Katie... I'm 21... and from Minnesota. I'm finishing up my associate degree for paralegal, so I'm really excited. I have 9 cats... yes, 9.

I have been a huge Disney fan since I was a little girl. Sleeping Beauty is my all-time favorite Disney movie. It was my first Disney film and it was gift from an aunt I was very close to before she died. So, I know that film by heart. I feel the same for the movie, Pollyanna... lots of sentimental value too.

I also love Lady and the Tramp, Bambi, Robin Hood, Beauty and the Beast, Little Mermaid, Lion King, Aladdin... anything by Pixar... geez, I can't think of more off-hand.

I also love pop music... BSB, Britney, Christina, *NSYNC, Kelly Clarkson... and especially Clay Aiken!

Well, that's a lil bit about me. I hope to get to know all of you soon!

Welcome to the UD forums katiekat!

That's a really nice story. I hope you have a good time posting here.

Glad you registered, katiekat! We can never have too many forum members who are eloquent, as you appear to be. As you've been lurking a while, you might already know this, but, as a registered member, you join the ranks of at least two other 20-something female Minnesotans who also happen to be fond of cats (and Disney movies too)! They post regularly and I hope you will too!

Now I stand back and await the Minnesotan mods' special midwestern greeting.

Welcome to the forum katiekat!!!!! Cool story.

Welcome to the forum, katiekat! I very much hope you enjoy being a part of the small yet substantial group of Minnesotans on UD! 9 cats? I can hardly handle one!

Welcome to UD.com Disney Duster! I enjoyed reading your story!
You've come at a perfect time!! Cinderella is to be released on DVD for the first time this October!

Hey katiekat, welcome! We share something in common because Sleeping Beauty is one of my favourites as well! It's nice to see you've decided to join! I assure you you won't be disappointed!

As you're from Minnesota and possibly have Scandanavian origins, all I have to say is this:

добро пожаловать

Wait, that's Russian. Silly me.

Anyway, a serious welcome to the forum katiekat, and also to Disney Duster for that matter! Great forum names! Anyway, I hope that you both enjoy posting at Ultimatedisney.com. It so makes me sad when newbies who are good at posting don't return to the forum after a few posts. It's worse than bad newbie posters posting all the time.

WOW! Everyone is so nice here! Thank you guys so much for the great welcome!

chaychay102: Thank you very much for the welcome, and that cleaning joke was really funny! Also, I'm really glad that you were alright with my long posts.

RJKD23: Thanks for the welcome and the comment on my username! I would love to chat with people, but I don't know how. I don't see anything about a chatroom. I'll try looking for it more...

katiekat: That was a nice short but informative post. I liked how it was sentimental and how some of your favorite movies are special to you because of the people in your life who had something to do with them.

DisneyFan 2000: Thanks for the great welcome, and I'm glad you enjoyed my story. And yes, I'm really glad I'm getting on to UD around the time Cinderella's coming out and as a Platinum!

Wonderlicious: You know Russian?! If you do that's so cool! I actually have a friend who has a Russian background and is fluent in Russian. She's my neighbor and my best friend. Thanks for the comment on my name, and I hope to not disappoint anyone and make great posts!

I hope to make great posts for you guys, and once again thank you all so much for the really awesome wlecome! Oh, and please let me know whenever you think my posts need to be shorter or less critical or just however they can be better.

Actually, I don't really know Russian. I just typed "welcome" into a translator online and that's what it came out as. It was a tiny joke, as I am certainly one to play pranks.

And yes, that is true about everyone here being nice. I haven't been on many many forums and message boards, but of the ones that I have visited, this is the most lovely, especially compared to the house of personal attacks, IMDb.com.

EDIT: Oh, and here's the Chat Room: www.ultimatedisney.com/chat/
I go in there sometimes, but remember that you'll have to set up another mini-account to use that! Also, the Chat usernames can't be longer than 10 characters long, so you may have to shorten your username slightly (I have to become Wonderlici, for example.)

Disney Duster wrote:Also, I'm really glad that you were alright with my long posts. Oh, and please let me know whenever you think my posts need to be shorter or less critical or just however they can be better.

Don't worry, we encourage long posts here. Long posts breed discussion and that's what a message board is for. Post as long as you want!
