I think 'The Fox and the Hound' just became my favourite nostalgic Disney movie ever. The sleeping beauty comes in a close second now. But 'The Beauty and the Beast' still remains my firm all time favourite Disney movie. (Refer back to last post, also on Disney movies.) I was just casually channel surfing when suddenly there was this show on in Disney Channel. The last time I watched it was probably at least ten years ago since this movie was made before I even arrived in this earth. I think the "second" viewing of it just pulled my heartstrings even more now to edge its way to the top of the list.
Anyways, yeah back to the movie. It just brought back memories of watching these old Disney classics with fantastic storylines and characters. Everything depended on those two things where the animation was really quite mediocre as compared to today's technology and stuff. Even having not watched this movie for so many years, I could still vaguely remember what happened next and all. My favourite but saddest scene of all was when the old lady drove Tod, the fox, out into the wild and set him free despite him not wanting to leave her. Then the sad music came on. That was it. The tears just came streaming down. Not bawling and sobbing like but there were tears. Don't you just love crying movies? And puppy Copper and cub (or is it pup too?) Tod are just so adorable!
And I swear that I had the movie on tape too. Just don't know where it is now. Strangely enough I think there is a very strong resemblance of Tod with the humanistic animal version of Robin Hood. Or maybe I should say that Tod looks like Robin since 'Robin Hood' was created before 'The Fox and the Hound'. Coincidentally, I really like watching Robin Hood too. The foxy one I mean. And not forgetting the one in tights too. Anyways, the resemblances are definitely there. Why am I only realising this now? Hmm. I guess I wasn't very perceptive in my less than attentive years. And I really do think that I did have the 'Robin Hood' video too. Somewhere in the house collecting dust probably.
So, yes, that was a bit of a nostalgic moment for me there but I think it's passed on for now. Well, I submitted my appeal letter already but I think I'm going to go ask my lecturer anyway to enquire on what happened to my results come Monday. Oh, and I think I'm going to catch a foreign language film this Sunday too. A French one at that, complimentary of the cousin's invitation and interest that piqued my own. My first film festival viewing! Can't wait. It's also sort of my unofficial last weekend of non-studying and non-mugging in college so it's time to savour the dregs of holiday past before commencing another three months of assignments and exams.
The Little Mermaid's my all-time fave Disney movie...i've always wanted to be a bootiful mermaid! *sigh*
