HAPPY BIRTHDAY spessartine!If I were a better girl I'd've made the 'Happy Birthday' sparkly and crackling and whatnot, but the html boggled me so I just contented myself in making it big. :) I love you, I love you, I love you! I hope you have (or had?) a wonderful day full of pretty gay men and heaps of expensive chocolate and cheap wine. I wanted to write

Oh! ~loves you~

I thought I was the only one with a bizarre fascination for Heaven's Light/Hellfire. Heh, that song was so horribly inappropriate for a kid's movie, but so yummy and twisted. I took a few of the others too. Thanks! :)

Eee hee! *happy* We Disney geeks must band together!

Oh, god, I know, I remember watching it for the first time since I was nine and being shocked at the not-so-subtle...yeah...but it's such a wonderful movie, it's definitely one of my favourites. The sheer beauty of the music, the surprisingly good adaptation of the novel, and the goat - gah, I love the goat! - just makes it perfect.

Yeah, somewhere there is a rational side of my brain fond of reminding me what a sucker I am for falling for the animal sidekicks every time, but I always do. :) ~am so easily manipulated~

I was about 14 when I saw it and was equally startled! Such a cool scene, though. :) I wonder if there is any Frollo/Esmeralda fanfiction around (movie or bookverse)? (Heh, almost wrote Frodo/Esmeralda - now there's some crack! ;) ) Not that I have a thing for creepy-sexy or anything *coughs*, but that would be cool. :)

Didn't you just melt when you watched Dumbo? The very first time I saw those ears, god....love at first sight, it was. It's alright, sasha, we can be mushy emotional animal lovers together, and spessartine can laugh at our geekdom. XD

Would you find me too strange if I said that Frollo is oddly sexy? And Jafar from Aladdin too?

~giggles~ I even like the inanimate sidekicks. The carpet in Aladdin? OMG teh cute!

He is. He really is. I am really, really, really glad that my taste for literary creepy guys does not extend to real life or I would so be doomed. Strangled like Desdemona for glancing at *coughs* JRM, say. ;)

Are you familiar with Cocciante's musical version of the Hunchback at all?

[crazysexy_cool]

Oh, hah, really? I hope you mean that in a nonromantic way, because Frollo/Esmeralda is doable, but as for, say, carpet/Aladdin, I'd have to think about the mechanics of that one...

I've never actually seen a production of Cocciante's version, but I did hear the music awhile back and to be honest, I didn't really like it - not dramatic enough for me, I'm afraid. But, you know, I'd still see it if I had the chance, because - Victor Hugo on stage again! What can be better than that? Which reminds me - weren't there rumours of Disney's Hunchback coming to Broadway?

[sasha_davidovna]

Hah! Great icon. :)

I hope you mean that in a nonromantic way, because Frollo/Esmeralda is doable, but as for, say, carpet/Aladdin, I'd have to think about the mechanics of that one...Er, yes, most definitely non-romantic

[crazysexy_cool]

Oh, haha, I know, isn't it just the most disturbing icon? But I have to say *cough* that I, um, like this one a little better...just a little...

But there's something so terribly tragic about Frollo (well, in the book, at least) that's strangely....attractive? Or appealing, that might be the word.

Oh, I vaguely remember liking 'Belle', I think, but the rest of the music didn't really catch my attention at all. Then again, I wasn't listening closely in the first place, so. I'll have to find the soundtrack again and give it a closer listen.

Wouldn't it be amazing, though? And I heard that they'd do it properly - as in, Esmeralda dies and Frollo's desire for her emphasized even more (even more!) so I don't think it'd be too popular for parents who come with their children expecting another Lion King or whatnot. But, eh, who cares, a hundred children may be scarred for life but I still want to see it. x)

[sasha_davidovna]

~laughs~ Yes, I'd have to agree with you about the icon. :)

I'll upload some of my favorite songs from the French version I have so you can see what you think. Keep an eye on my journal. ;) The English version is only a tape, unfortunately, although I do have a clip from "My Heart" somewhere, so I'll send that too if I can find it.

Really? OMGSQUEE! :) That was the one thing that really bothered me about the Disney version - it already wasn't truly a kid's movie, so why did they have to assume we wouldn't be able to handle the real ending? I mean, I know why, but dammit! I like the real ending. If they did the real thing... oh! :D

[sasha_davidovna]

There you go. :)

[crazysexy_cool]

Aha thank you! You really didn't have to do that, you're too nice!

[crazysexy_cool]

Oh, and is there any Disney soundtrack (you don't have) that you'd like? I've already uploaded the Anastasia, and if you'd like any just say the word. :)

[sasha_davidovna]

Sadly, my hardrive is going to kill me if I upload too much more, so I probably shouldn't. :( But thanks! :)

[crazysexy_cool]

Hehe Disney geeks unite! Disney is so underrated; despite the countless Grammys and Oscars they've won they'll never get enough credit with the public. Ah, well, they've got us. :)
