Disney Odyssey #13 – A Very Merry Unbirthday (And Then Some)

Somehow amidst the piles of laundry, the yet-unpacked boxes and bins, and the beginning of fall, the Fella and I found ourselves able to snag a little time to watch the next film, the ever-popular, constantly re-incarnated Alice in Wonderland. It's everyone's favorite dreamy adventure to the subconscious of a precocious British child with a lot to argue about and lots… Continue reading Disney Odyssey #13 – A Very Merry Unbirthday (And Then Some)

Disney Odyssey #12 – If the Shoe Fits, Marry Her Immediately

Glory be! We finally made it to Cinderella! It's been an appropriately long time since I watched this one, and I'm glad we got through the odd and inconsistent 1940s package films to reach the golden, dreamy 1950s.

Disney Odyssey #9 – Beanstalks & Bear Cubs: The Late 40’s Were Weird

Tonight's Fun and Fancy (but totally not free) dinner fixins include steak sandwiches lovingly hand-crafted by the Fella (!!!) and the last of the Ben & Jerry's in the freezer. I'm sorry there's been such a lag between Disney Odyssey posts, but the renaissance faire happened, and so did some very important family birthdays/reunions and… Continue reading Disney Odyssey #9 – Beanstalks & Bear Cubs: The Late 40’s Were Weird
