FMK - Sleeping Beauty

So your first Disney movie is Sleeping Beauty. And it's your first bluray as well. But, really, that's for mommy and me since it came with a dvd copy for you. ANYWAY, I hope you like it. I wonder what type of Disney fans you will be. Considering the lady your Mema is, I don't think it's an option for you not to like Disney. She might disown you and me if that were the case. No, I wonder if the two of you will like the same type of Disney; or if one will like one type and one the other. Or, will you be like me and cherry pick your favorites. (Robin Hood, Pete's Dragon, Sword in the Stone, Jungle Book in no particular order for me) I like a wide range of movies but if I had to guess, I would imagine that both of you will be little Tink fans. That seems to be where the market is headed and that is cool with me. And I imagine cool with your mom as well because she can then steer you into the world of Brian Froud and things like Labyrinth and Dark Crystal. And Faeries are cool enough. And Tink is cool enough. And if you girls end up being fans of whatever, it won't matter to me. I'll buy you the dress up shit and let you pretend that the dogs are ponies or bad guys or whatever. There is a certain magic to that damn mouse that is undeniable. Even for me, the theme parks hold a certain amount of awesome that I cannot fully explain. You ladies will be sick of them by the time Mema gets done. She is going to take you there, a lot. Whereas I got the train station, you get the mouse. Not that I am complaining, the train station is still one of my very favorite places, just noticing the difference. Some people will spend their entire lives saving for a once in a lifetime trip to the land of the mouse. They will spend copious amounts of time, money, and energy in the planning and execution of this trip. It will be the talk of that family for the rest of their lives. You will go to see the fireworks on a Tuesday because why the fuck not? You will be spoiled by this and while I should tell you to take this opportunity to be thankful for what you have, and I will, I mostly just think that those people should move out of their crappy country and work for free passes like everyone else. Plus, you are my kids dammit and you will be spoiled.
