The day before this post went up I was listening to my Disney playlist and started wondering if I should've included movies like Aladdin or The Little Mermaid and just decided I needed to keep my list as-is. Ha, you're probably right about "I'll Make a Man Out of You," though I'm guessing it also made us feel strong and inspired as we were Laurie Luckinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00456113371420700748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633977426784875178.post-88013057304288212022016-02-10T20:22:54.258-06:002016-02-10T20:22:54.258-06:00I have delayed this post for so long because I hav...I have delayed this post for so long because I have been trying to come up with a top 3 and I have been unable to make a decision!

I've never seen Rise of the Guardians, but it sounds like a very interesting premise. That's neat King Fu Panda touched your son so much. I think the movie that has made my son the most sad so far is Finding Nemo - we have discussed the part where Nemo gets Laurie Luckinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00456113371420700748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633977426784875178.post-51502768710486457352016-02-07T01:37:09.573-06:002016-02-07T01:37:09.573-06:00I just re-watched Anastasia yesterday!

I love that movie (and used to love anything Meg Ryan, back in the day), but wish they had portrayed Rasputin differently. Beauty and the Beast is an excellent movie as well.<br /><br />My favorites would probably be:<br /><br />Megamind - Humorous, with a Melinda Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06068173975292361071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633977426784875178.post-48618793498927771952016-02-06T20:44:47.689-06:002016-02-06T20:44:47.689-06:00Thanks Laura!

I'm glad I'm finding some fellow Dimitri fans :) I was actually really hesitant to include Beauty and the Beast on my list because I figured that would be on everyone's list, but in the end I just couldn't leave it out.

And my sister and I love the Shrek soundtrack. I do have to say, I like the Studio Ghibli movies, too. Ponyo and Arrietty are so unique, and the animation is beautiful.

It is one of my favorite movies (not just animated). :) <br />I also really like Shrek because it's hilarious, and I love fairytales. Another of my favorite animated movies is How to Train Your Dragon. I love the music, the dragons, and the lessons. Plus, we originally saw it in 3D,Spruce Holly Nogardnoreply@blogger.com
