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. Cinderella is in many ways the 'number one' Disney Princess, although Snow White is the first. If you… Continue reading Disney Odyssey #12 – If the Shoe Fits, Marry Her Immediately

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.

Before I get started, all joking aside, I love this movie. I have always loved this movie since… Continue reading Disney Odyssey #5 – 10/10 Woodland Creatures are Affected by Aloof Dad Syndrome
Disney Odyssey #4 – Show Business Turns Everyone Into Jerks… Even Elephants
This week, while the Fella and I put our feet up and recovered from all the walking we did at C2E2, we took some time to watch the next installment in our Disney Odyssey. "So... Where are we in the Odyssey?" wondered the Fella. "Uh, Dumbo is next," I answered. "No, no," he said, "I mean,… Continue reading Disney Odyssey #4 – Show Business Turns Everyone Into Jerks… Even Elephants
