not much

okay, i was kind of obsessed with sleeping beauty when i was a kid. i looked it up and i see that it was rereleased theatrically in 1979, but i feel like i saw it on TV. anyway, i remember buying the soundtrack record, and not long ago, when someone asked the question if you had to have a wedding song what would it be, my first thought was the song from sleeping beauty that goes “i know you, i danced with you once upon a dream” (i think my actual answer to that question, though, was “if you gotta go, go now” by bob dylan. a little cooler.)

anyway, i do love disney movies, i grew up on them, but sleeping beauty always felt to me like the best animated one. sleeping beauty has the best villain–maleficent is scary as shit, like even now i think she’s scary. and dont even try to play like the witch from snow white even comes close or any recent villain. please, ursula? she’s kind of a joke.

so now theyre releasing it on DVD in the original 70mm format. i saw a commercial today and i was shocked by how much i wanted it. do you ever get over the things you loved as a child? i mean, you can look back at them and reevaluate their worth but do you ever get over that awe of your first favorite movie?
