Disney Characters...still

I forgot one!
I watched Cinderella too

Right now It's between Jack (Jacque?), Gus and Anastasia.
Anastasia (left)


I know it's unorthadox to actually name a step sister, let alone prefer one; but seeing as A Cinderella Story (2003) is one of my favourite films and I could see the stepsisters from that were heavily influenced by these two; I just preferred Anastasia, obviously, just for her stupidness.

I've decided Gus annoys me, he's cute and everything, and I love the way he talks, but- (now I'm wondering if his voice is worth it over the mild annoyingness- I'll come back to Gus)

Jacque (she says it with a french accent, right?)
He's helpful and funny, and even offers to sew before he's told (by the lady mouse) to leave the sewing to the women (thanks, Disney- we really appreciate it -.-) But I went for the 'best friend' in both in the last post.

It's a tie between Jacque and Gus, mayve Jacque juuust gets it, but for now it's a tie.

Jacque left, Gus right


I suppose I should add photos of each character so you all know who I mean...

Disney Characters

From the release of Sky Movies Disney and the obvious increase in consumption within my life of Disney films. I have decided after each Disney film I watch I will review my favourite characters and come up with the ultimate Disney film/character list.
 I have a list of my favourite films, (which I may post in the near future) but not favourite Disney films; so that needs to be done. I did once have a chance to pick one Disney DVD out of any of them, and that required Nadine and I about a week and several lists to come up with that; so there's a starting point.

 So yes, this is an analytical, indepth look: to find my favourite Disney Character and film. (How much of this can go in my Media exam?)

 From Sky Movies Disney so far; I've watched two films (with a Disney themed party in between)

Tarzan
Bambi

 Even though Tarzan is first I'm starting with Bambi because the clear winner has gotta be Thumper. He's so cute, especially after his voice breaks, all grows up. And his laugh in the beginning is adorable, totally beautiful. I have a toy of him somewhere, I'll find that later.



Tarzan is harder, I should like Tarzan, but his eyes annoyed me, they're too round and yellow, like the animators almost gave up on his eyes. Jane's quite good, but nothing special to be a favourite character. I think it's gunna be Turk, firstly, having the name out of someone from Scrubs is pretty cool, but his scene in the camp, is probably my favourite of the film.



Hmmm.. I see a pattern emerging... the bestfriends.

As for the party, I went as Ellie- I character I hadn't given a lot of thought to, except, is was sad, but young Ellie is just...me. But I may have to rewatch Up (but I did watch most of it a few weeks ago) to compare. Or I might just think about it for a few days and get back to you.

Windows

Windows are a good thing (including the operating system, excluding Vista). Anyway, I just think windows are a great invention, it allows you to see outside and watch things. I think my nosyness is responsible for this. And if you thought the randomness of this blog was declining; here's a list of good locations for windows.

1. High rise city building
    Lots of things to see, endless entertainment

2. Aeroplanes
    different perspective, new places

3. Cars
    see other people in cars, or new places, or looking at people in familiar places

4. The TARDIS
    it's the only thing it's missing, I mean come on

5.  Boats
   new perspective, and fishes

The Best Things About Travelling

more lists...


1.  I love people, and different way people live; so cool, and I always wish I could live the way most of them do, of which I've met.

2. Turbulence. yup.. I like rollercoasters okay

3. Buying things. I dislike mainstream shops, so probably about 60% of my wardrobe is bought abroad- and the best part about this point? Other people have caught on. yay presents.

4. Similar to number 1, different festivals/events: I've been to an American Funfair, Spanish Fiesta. The ultimate plan for this point: Mexican Day of the Dead.

5. Americans. I just love the American diversity, and I mean LOVE. I'm actually currently eating my favourite American sweets and have plans to move there, like actual plans. In terms of travelling, it's fun spotting them, and guessing what state they're from. As far as I'm aware- I've got it once out of all the answers I've received.

6. Open Mindedness. As narrow mindedness is my main dislike, experiencing as many cultures allows me to feel less hypocritical.

7. Doing things you can't do normally. (and no that doesn't mean the postcode rule) Examples: swim with Turtles (almostttt); climb a Temple;  ride a Camel; see a wild bear; Live in the same place as hundreds of Iguanas for a week or two

8. Very similar to last one. Simply being able to say: I've done ____
Examples: Wearing a Sombrero in Mexico, Climb a mountain; been here done that etc.. basically Life Scouts

That's all I can think of
- but I've just come back from Holiday... can you tell?

So, those 8 point in relation to my recent endeavour to Mexico

1. I saw a Mayan family and their house.. there was a baby asleep in a hammock in the middle of the day. Adorable.

2. Had turbulence... made me happy.

3. Dress, Bag, necklace. Both colourful and pink ish... and beautiful

4. The goal is day of the dead, but that's October and it's currently April. Had a Mayan blessing put on me, saw a really cool dance/performance thing in the street.

5. Mexico is like the American France. In Heaven.

6. I spose the only relevant fact for this is the fact I saw Ancient Mayan stuff

7. I was so close to swimming with turtles, casual tropical rainstorm got in the way..

8. A Mexican gave me a sombrero in an actually Mexican restaurant. yup.
