@seekjustice And I’m the opposite. To me Tangled is an awful depiction of a girl deserting her mother for a stranger she only met that day and who has nothing going for him but a “smolder”?! Yeah, I know that’s not the real story, but I just feel like it encourages kids to rebel against their parents. And I don’t like modern music. Mulan’s story is okay, but I don’t like girl warriors. (Congratulations on selling me on Chessy!) I actually didn’t watch any Princess movies growing up except Cinderella, but I’ve listened to the songs from Snow White and Sleeping Beauty and I love them. The Disney movies I watched as a kid were Mary Poppins, Cinderella, Aristocats, and Jungle Book. 😀
Glad you liked the intro. I also like Scotland’s history. The Covenanters are my favorite persecuted Christians! Have you read Douglas Bond’s Scottish series?
@catwing You’ve never listened to musicals?!!! *faints* I would not be able to exist without them!"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
@seekjustice Ha, sounds fun.
Throwing musicals?! XD I was wondering what all the weird singing was…
You can pronounce it however you want.
@dekreel Duck! Hit the Deck, Oklahoma!, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Show Boat, Roberta, Kismet, Singing in the Rain…
I LOVE throwing musicals! And if you heard weird singing, it was probably me. I sing all the time, and it’s often weird – or so my sister tells me. (Disclaimer: I actually do sing in tune. Weird means something else in this case.)

Other than Les Mis, Tangled was probably the biggest influence on Stars Fill Infinity, Mother Gothel is an awful woman though and she emotionally and verbally abuses Rapunzel, so I don’t blame her for running away. And Flynn is extremely annoying at the start, but I like the way he changes by the end. I definitely agree that rebelling against parents could be taken away from it, but in the end, I think it’s about learning who is right to obey and who isn’t. My mum always tells me that we have to obey her/dad/other figures in authority, unless they tell us to do something that directly contradicts the Bible, and then we have the right and I guess the duty, to disobey (with respect, of course).
I don’t agree with women warriors in general, but I do believe there is a time and a place for them, and I admire Mulan for being brave enough to take her father’s place, and as my mother also points out, Mulan doesn’t defeat the Huns by being a soldier, she does it by being a woman.
Oh the Jungle Book! I love that book, of course I wasn’t sold on the Disney movie, but I really enjoyed the live action remake they did a few years ago, I’d forgotten about it though 😀

@rochellaine I sing ALL THE TIME. I think I drive people crazy sometimes (I’m singing ATOTC at the moment).
Hey, have you ever listened to The Fiddler on the Roof?

@rochellaine I survive. 🙂
IMMA KAPEEFER! Til we're old and gray!
@rochellaine @seekjustice *faints*

Don’t worry, this happens all the time. I think @rochellaine is preparing her rebuttal currently, and eventually we will come to a compromise.

@seekjustice Of course the book is way better than the movie, but I didn’t read the book when I was five years old watching the movie. 😀 I especially love the tale of Riki-Tiki-Tavi!
FIDDLER ON THE ROOF?!!!!! You actually listen to a musical from the sixties? 😀 Yes! I bought the movie as a Christmas present for my sister/entire-family a couple of years ago and we watched it and all loved it. A couple of weeks ago we were all in the kitchen together (thirteen of us, I think) cooking, and we played through the whole soundtrack. What’s your favorite song from it?
There are varied opinions on whether I sing too much or not in my family. 🙂 I have this problem where if – say one of the little girls is sleeping and my mom tells me not to sing for a while I promise not to. And I totally keep my promise for all of thirty seconds. 😀 Of course, I don’t break it intentionally, and usually only one or two notes come out before I clamp my hand over my mouth, horrified. Thankfully my mom understands how my brain is strung with musical notes, so as long as she knows I am honestly trying to be quite she’s quite nice about it and just laughs.

@dekreel *hands you smelling salts*
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
@rochellaine @seekjustice *revives* So many musicals……
The only three I’ve watched are My Fair Lady, The King & I and The Sound of Music.
And Legally Blonde if you count live productions 😉
You can pronounce it however you want.
@dekreel And only one of the three was worth it, right? 🙂
(I detest the plots of My Fair Lady and The King and I, though I like the songs.)
*frowns* You have seriously neglected your education on that score. I would ask that you rectify that immediately before you disappear.
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
I love Riki-Tiki-Tavi! I used to have a video version of that when I was really little.\
Um…well…I’ve never seen it, and only listened to some of it, but I’ve read a very long and detailed synopsis of it. But I do like what I’ve heard of it. Waiiitt.. How do you fit thirteen of you in your kitchen??? is it a very large kitchen??? Ours isn’t small…but it barely fits seven people, all trying to cook.

@rochellaine Ahh, well, I haven’t seen them in a long time, so I’m not sure if I can answer that question immediately.
Yes, I like Rain in Spain and Getting to Know You. 🙂
Disappear?! You’d make me disappear just because I watched an non-educational musical?!
You can pronounce it however you want.
I posted a bit too early.
It also has awesome dancing.
Yeah, sometimes I get in trouble for singing too much. and I do get asked to be quiet and then I forget. Thankfully, most of my siblings aren’t that young, so I can be noisy all the time, as long as it’s not too late 😀
