*Disclaimer: CONTAINS HIGH AMOUNTS OF FLUFFY SAPPY GOODNESS*
Okay, I know I'm a hopeless fangirl, so here's my post for today: yet another gush about Disney, aka some of the best storytellers on this planet.
Yes, they skew the original plots, and YES, sometimes we wonder if that really is 'pc' by today's standards, but in the end they are amazing at what they do - which is give people of all ages that timeless romanticism that they miss day to day.
My favorite Disney movies are movies that I watch OVER AND OVER AGAIN. ALL THE TIME.
The scores alone keep me coming back - Pocahontas having one of the most brilliantly mastered soundtracks of any movie I've ever seen, and Hunchback not far behind - the music of both are so moving it will reduce you to tears if you're not careful.
Today I spent a lot of time sleeping because I'm out of commission atm with a nasty virus and dehydration, but after watching 'A Little Princess' I just watched tv, but my brain kept wandering to Disney. If I'd had any determination at all to move from the couch I would have immediatly gone to youtube to scour it for HQ versions of my favorites.
My imagination suits me fine as well though, because Disney has this uncanny ability to spark so much from just an hour of animation. My biggest problem is the romance.
I could write a book on why Pocahontas and Kocoum should have ended up together. They are by far, the most overlooked possibility ever. I mean really - what the movie failed to recognize was that because of Pocahontas's inherent resentment towards that foxyhawt Native counterpart of hers it wouldn't have been smooth sailing at all for them to be together. I contrive these fantasies of them as children, all sorts of scenarios that lead to their ultimate respect and eventual love for one another. That is always more beautiful to me than the frantic love of John Smith and Pocahontas. Yeah, they were old souls together, but KOCOUM IS SO BEAUTIFUL. And loyal and devoted and serious and DREAMY.
If anything he deserved to LIVE and get Nakoma at least.
The other is Peter Pan - gosh wouldn't it just be amazing if Peter Pan decided to grow up and stay with her? *HEART-THROBS*
Anyway, as I listen to the 'Farewell' score of Pocahontas (go look it up - it's too gorgeous for words) I am flooded by these girlish romantic thoughts.
I need to write some sort of drabble before my head explodes!
xoxo,
Hannah
