Speaking of Disney movies (we were doing that, right?): I know I'm a loser who only saw about four* of them during her childhood proper, and it's really sad that it took me until yesterday to watch The Hunchback of Notre Dame. But dang, that is a good movie. I think it just elbowed its way right in there under The Lion King as one of my favorite Disney movies. I mean, the music alone is excellent, but then you add in the characters and the plot and everything, and, wow. Suffice it to say that it's becoming my latest short-term obsession. And I need to acquire the soundtrack. OF COURSE I DON'T NEED TO TELL YOU GUYS THIS STUFF THOUGH BECAUSE YOU ALL HAD NORMAL CHILDHOODS. 8D (Although I have no idea how this movie got away with a G rating. IMO some of the stuff it deals with really isn't for kids. Which, y'know, is part of why I like it. But anyway.)

* Three if you don't count The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh as an actual movie.

Also, since I may not get a chance to post something later, I'm leaving again tomorrow for vacation. I'll be back next Tuesday. And then school starts. =_=

P.S. Apparently in Japanese, the @ sign is known as "naruto". This should not be so funny.

Nothing will ever dethrone The Lion King pun not intended lolol. It's just that awesome.

Yeah, when I first saw "Hellfire" (which was my first exposure to HoND), I definitely couldn't believe they'd put that in a Disney movie. Especially one made so recently. But I'm glad they did, because the dark themes are a huge part of the movie (and because the song is amazing, natch). I mean, HoND did get Disneyfied to some extent (talking gargoyles, happy ending), but it could have been much worse. So I think they did pretty well.

Thank you! Have fun with your actual free time! Er, assuming you have some amount of actual free time. I don't know when your school starts. ^^;;

I agree. I grew up with Lion King and it has been my favorite movie my whole life, LOL |D

Me too~. I absolutely love the songs. Actually, I can't remember any but Hellfire, but I do remember really loving them when I watched it ahah C:

Not for a bit. September 8th. Which is actually really late for our school. But I'm not complaining~ 8DDD
