Day 30

Day #30- Your favourite theme park show.

Do you even have to ask?! :-D

... Beauty and the Beast (Disney's Hollywood Studios)

Day 29 1/2

Day #29 1/2- Your favourite ride.

Yup I'm changing the rules again! I thought as it said favourite attraction- it was only fair I include my favourite ride. And then as I sat and thought about it, I actually have 2 favourite rides! So as I'm changing it up by including 2 new questions, I can have 2 answers :-P

... Soarin' (Epcot) and Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin (Magic Kingdom)!!

First time I rode Soarin' was actually quite a terrifying experience. I stood in the queue with my Mum, Aunt and family friend (her family were also in Florida at the same time, but only she liked Epcot), and there was a lady in front of us with her grandchildren. The kids were asking her what the ride was like, to which she replied "Oh it's very exciting, you come whooshing up a cliff and then plummet off the other side! And you come down over Golden Gate Bridge almost into the water!" Then I saw the sign about being afraid of heights and such.. and although I'm fine with heights, I'm not so great with turbulence.. so I got spooked. It was basically a fear of the unknown. So when we boarded the ride I walked straight out with the exiting guests! When Mum came off the ride she reassured me, and now I go on it as many times as I can!

Also you have to love Buzz Lightyear, it's such a fun game really. There's nothing like some family/friendly competition and comparing scores at the end! Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to go on the Toy Story Midway Mania at Disney's Hollywood Studios as the queues were insane. It's definitely on the to do list!

Day 29

Day #29- Your favourite theme attraction.

... Mickey's Philharmagic!!

Honestly, every time I come out of there I just want to turn round and go back in. The music is fantastic, the effects are brilliant and the smell -Oh My Lord- is mouthwatering! Big, big thumbs up from me!

Day 28

Day #28- Your favourite park.

... Epcot!!

I guess as I love travel it's always held a special place in my heart. I love to learn, and experience new things and Epcot is perfect for that. Plus I get to work there for the next year... how exciting!

Day 27

Day #27- Your favourite quote.

This is a really tough one, there are so many wonderful quotes in each and every Disney movie it's hard to single one out.

First I thought of Pocahontas, and basically most of the lines from "Colours of the wind"
Then The Princess and the Frog... but again I love the overall message of the movie.
Hercules, again most of the lines from "I can go the distance"

So in the end I'm going to go with a classic, from a film I don't think I've mentioned yet in this challenge.

... "Have faith in your dreams and someday, your rainbow will come smiling through. No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing. The dream that you wish, will come true." (Cinderella)

Day 26 1/2

Day #26 1/2- Your favourite scene from any movie.

Ok I'm going a little off plan now.. but when I saw "My favourite scene" I instantly thought of one.. and then when I read "from your favourite movie" it went out of the window!

Of course I still love the scene from Beauty and the Beast as mentioned. But as this one was the first to come to mind I wanted to mention it.

... Lantern Scene/ "I See The Light" (From Tangled)!!

Also I was lucky enough to see this in 3D and it was absolutely stunning.

Day 26

Day #26- Saddest death.

... Ray (From The Princess and the Frog).

May have been naive, but I kept expecting him to be OK. :-(

Honourable mentions- Mufasa (The Lion King), Bambi's Mother, Ellie (Up), Coral (Finding Nemo).


Day 25

Day #25- Your favourite scene from your favourite movie.

Ah, here I am going to have to repeat myself..

... the Transformation scene (From Beauty and the Beast)!!

Day 24

Day #24- A movie that makes you cry.

Definitely... Up.

You all know the sequence I'm talking about.
I went to see it while I was at Uni. We organised a big group of us to go (mostly girls I think) and we all sat in the row in tears. One of my friends actually sobbed out loud. A wonderful, moving sequence that portrayed the beauty and tragedy of life.

Honourable mentions go to the classics too- The Lion King, Bambi and Dumbo. The latter two I cannot watch they make me so sad.

Day 23

Day #23- A movie that makes you laugh.

I would ideally put the same film for the film that makes me laugh and cry.. but as I've said before I want to try and avoid repeating too much.

Because of this I'm going to say... Lilo and Stitch!!

Day 22

Day #22- An underrated movie.

... Sword and the Stone!!

I think it is so often overlooked as dated and slow. But in actual fact it is a brilliant film! I remember watching it when I was really young. And when my aunty accidentally taped over my copy, although I didn't watch it often I was really upset! She replaced it.. and when it came out on DVD she bought it for me as a somewhat running joke :)

Day 21

Day #21- An overrated movie.

I really didn't know where to go with this question. Is it a film I feel got too much hype for what it was?
Am I limited to animation? I've only done animation so far... so I'll say one animated one not. I must say though that I don't hate any of these films, just in my opinion they weren't as good as others.

Animated... Lady and the Tramp.
I think I had to choose this one, looking at lots of  Disney films this is one I felt brought least to the table. There are moments in the film where I feel genuinely uncomfortable and as a result I don't really ever have a craving to watch it.

Live action... High School Musical 2
First I though of HSM, I held out a long time before seeing it. But seeing it a few times since it has grown on me a bit (Not to the extent of some lunatic fan). So when the sequel was on TV I gave it a watch.. and didn't really see the point in making it. I have yet to see the third installment. Ha!

Out of these two I think HSM 2 would be my choice as most overrated.

Day 20

Day #20- Your favourite sequel.

I sat here and racked my brain for all the sequels, but still came back to the same one. I think it is probably the most successful sequel/ trilogy.

... Toy Story 2!!

Plus my old college lecturer looks EXACTLY like Al! EXACTLY!

Day 19

Day #19- Your least favourite Pixar film.

Would have to be... A Bug's Life!!

I guess it would be because *shock, horror* Antz came out around the same time. I think I saw Antz first, and I guess it just eclipsed Bug's Life. I may have to go back and watch it...

Love Heimlich though!

Day 18

Day #16- Your favourite Pixar film.

If this was asking the Pixar films that I watch most regularly... then I would have a hard time deciding between Cars and The Incredibles.

But my favourite would have to be... Wall-E!!

Day 17

Day #17- Your least favourite classic.

... Snow White!!
Afraid it never was my favourite, I haven't seen it in about 10 years.

Day 16

Day #16- Your favourite classic.

Does Beauty and the Beast count as a classic?? I think it does, but I've mentioned it quite a lot. So I'm going to choose one that really is a classic that I love... Sleeping Beauty!!

 

Day 15

Day #15- The first movie you saw.

Right, I had to ask my Mum about this one. As far as she can remember, the first Disney film that I probably went to the cinema to see was...Aladdin!!

Day 14

Day #14- Your favourite kiss.

Most definately... Beauty and the Beast!!

Just after the transformation. Lovely.



Yet again, honourable mention to Aladdin and Jasmine, after "A Whole New World" too. 

Day 13

Day #13- Your least favourite song.

I wouldn't say it was my least favourite song, but as I've said in a previous post, I just can't listen to it without tearing up. And that song is "Baby Mine" (From Dumbo)

But as I've talked about "Baby Mine" before it would have to be... "I'm Wishing"!! (From Snow White)
