Th think a lot of 'newer' Disney films lack the Warmth of the older ones?

[Hoebag]

I'm sat watching Aladdin , the end always gets me sad git emoticon
and I saw Dumbo the other and got a 'they don't make them like they used to'

moment, apart from Up thats magical.

AIBU to think some of the new ones lack the warmth and spirit of the old ones??

I believe the main difference between "old" Disney movies (Pinocchio, Snow White, Bambi, Dumbo, Lady and the Trump, Peter Pan...) and the "newer" ones (starting with Little Mermaid) is the "cheekiness". Old movie characters lacked cheekiness, they were just sweet and innocent. There was no cheekiness in Snow White or her Prince, in Sleeping Beauty, in Bambi... Even Thumper's "cheekiness" was sweet an innocent, that of a child. There is lots of it however on Ariel the Little Mermaid, in Bella, in Aladdin and the Princess (whatever her name was), in Tangled. I love both styles, but I appreciate there is a line that started with the Mermaid and that has never been "crossed back".

Disney is a bucket of festering diarrhoea anyway, it was then and it is now.

Sickly, nauseous shite

Ha, ha not a fan then chicken I take it?!

Not really, no. I'm still bitter about the £800 I paid to get into Disney World on the promise that it would be "a magical experience".

It was hot. Crowded. Disgusting Food. Corny shows and the rides were better at universal studios.

And yes, I do blame disney for the weather.

You have love the terrifying cardboard pop up of the wicked witch in snow white ride. I felt I got my money worth there.

Did you also notice there were a lot of parents helping along the "magic" with cans of Budweiser?

I watched the first 20 minutes of Nemo (my first Disney film, and last), when DS2 was about two weeks old (so hormonal wreck). His mother got eaten if I remember correctly, then he was forcibly separated from his remaining parent and at that point I couldn't watch any more.

Yes I really am that wet .

Starwisher - I was actually jealous of the budweiser sporting folk! That may have helped improve the experience for me.
Then again, I swear those guys in the costumes were on LSD. Or speed at the very least.

fails to mention that we quite enjoyed epcot

Ha ha! The most traumatic bit was the seagulls outside the bloody Nemo ride

"mine, mine, mine, mine, mine"

If I close my eyes, sometimes I still hear them

haha! oh god don't get me started!

The small world ride - "it's a small world after all ...... repeat ..... repeat ...... repeat ...... " I swear I came off that bloody boat a shadow of my former self. What's worse is that the whole affair was caught on video camera and now whenever we watch the Florida videos - I have to leave the room for 10 minutes whilst the words "It's a small world after all .... " are repeated over and over again. Like a bad nightmare in my own living room. Evil bastards that they are.

Princess and the Frog and Tangled are firm faves in this household! Also Up is fantastic!!makes me cry every time!

My worse memory Disney is a boy asking when my baby was due.
I wasn't pregnant.

pmsl Starwisher - sorry but that really made me laugh

(which considering I'm suffering a mood swing from hell today, is pretty impressive!)

I can laugh about it now chicken.
Only now.
A little bit.

YANBU... I blame Shrek. Great film but, since then, too many filmmakers feel the need to give traditional stories the ironic... 'we're slightly bored with the original so let's take the piss'... treatment. Forgetting, of course, that children don't know the original story.

Robin Hood is my favourite.

The DC (2 & 5) watched Snow White this weekend and were terrified - Both sobbing by the end of it. Think we might be sticking to CBeebies for a while longer!

I love snowwhite

Oh dear Ms Kitty, lets hope they dont see the dark crystal , thats wierd stuff.

yeah I like robin hood, basil of baker street is underrated.

I get more cross because they make everything too fluffy.

I taught The World's Wife to my 6th form a few years back, and in it, lots of the characters are drawn from traditional fairy tales. I got fed of up of kids saying, 'but that in the film it wasn't like that!'

They were horrified when I re-rold them THe Little Mermaid.

I wonder is bluebeard would ever be a disney film aha

ZUKIE: I hate Toy Story

HOW!!!! I even like it, the bromance between buzz and woody! when jessie gets thrown away! ken are barbie! HOW!!!!
