I just finished watching half of Cinderella and all of Peter Pan with two of my good friends from home. I am amazed how much I still love these movies all these years later. Seriously watched Disney movies on repeat back in the day.
But I realized something today- most of the movies went straight over my head. Less so Cinderella, but definitely Peter Pan. I was very impressed by how nuanced Hook was when tricking Tinker Bell, and talking about the "woman trouble" with Smee... man that Bell can be so jealous! And what a jerk Peter Pan can be! Who'd want to fight over that!? Except that he's such a dreamboat haha. And Wendy's realization that maybe Neverland isn't all it's cracked up to be and never growing up makes you act like "savages". It's very adult! I wonder how the book is, did anyone ever read it? It's a really interesting story. It was really cool to get more of the jokes now that I'm older, and see neat character behavior even in an oldschool cartoon.
Long live Disney!
.........Except did anyone see the latest South Park? Maybe not so much long live Disney....hahahaha
