Especially cause I was thinking about Alice in Wonderland and how the caterpillar is smoking a bong. A BONG? Really?! Honestly folks! We all thought Disney was for kids. Not so...<br />Aladdin tells Jasmine to take off her clothes in the balcony scene, and in the Cave of Wonders Abu swears as he's standing on the rocks. However, with all of that said, I will admit that I still absolutely LOVE Disney movies!Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04596431400448420847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4292067611225626785.post-7686555055780892172009-07-01T22:05:08.563-06:002009-07-01T22:05:08.563-06:00One liners in Disney movies are pretty funny.

Apparently childbirth and new babies make me emotional cuz I got teary-eyed while watching. Tristan was also gone on a 4 day backpacking trip so I was lonely and even more sensitive, but I love that movie. <br /><br />Now the Disney movie that has changed the most for me watching it as an adult vs. watching as a child is The Little Mermaid. Jane loves this movie so I have had opportunity to watch it several hundred times in the last year. LOVED it as a kid and will always love it because of that, but as an adult I really have to wonder what children are learning from this show. 16 year old girl thinks she's old enough to fall in love and marry a prince after never having talked to him. She has only observed him from afar for a few minutes and rescued him from drowning. In order to marry him she disobeys her father and sells her soul (aka voice) to the devil (aka the Sea Witch). Then it's her father who ends up feeling guilty for chasing her away when all he was doing was being a loving and protective father. Then he has to take the fall and gets turned into the ugly worm thingy.And in the end even after all she has put him and everybody else through Triton still gives Ariel what she wants.

We went through a spurt where we watched it every weekend, remember? Thinking about it now, I picture Marie (then Becky, then Jessie) in the Belle dress Mutti made. So cute! By the way, 2 weeks ago I watched Little Mermaid. By myself. For fun. It was great!

Maybe somebody already said this but there's the scene near the beginning where the lady with the six kids is bemoaning her fate as the mother of so many kids b/c it is so expensive--my sister was really upset when her little girl saw that (she's almost your age now) and made the comment that she wasn't going to have any kids when she grew up b/c it costs too much money. One thing I dislike about cartoons in general is that it is always the "kid" who rescues the parent.

(Thank you 10 years of french class and growing up in Canada.) You can buy ragu sauce in the jar in Canada. It is common. Like a glorified spaghetti sauce with meat and veggies added.<br /><br />ANYWAYS, I think a lot of the times Disney adds the snide remarks for the adults as comic relief to keep us entertained along with the kids!
