Favorite Disney movie? [QOTW, 2/9/25]
I decided to go with another fun question this week – favorite Disney movie? We all have one, right? (The answer to that is no, as I discovered. Lol.)
For the record, I have more than one: The Little Mermaid, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Aladdin, The Aristocats, and The Princess and the Frog. My list would be even longer if I included Disney’s work with Pixar…
Anyway, here are the responses I got from some of my followers.
- “This is gonna show my age, but I’ve always been partial to The Sword and the Stone.” – Marco, After the Apocalypse
- “Peter Pan or Toy Story.” – Steven, Justin Holt/f1oater
- “Dragonslayer!” – Richard, RJ Archer and the Painful Memories
- “The Great Mouse Detective.” – Xavi, The Lürxx
- “Deadpool 3 [Deadpool & Wolverine].” – Bryce, Psycholand
- “Maleficent.” – Mandatory Affect
- “Moana! Mainly because my daughter and I watched it so many times together.” – Deadly Vices
- “I don’t watch Disney. I guess when I was younger it would have been The Little Mermaid or The Aristocats.” – Synthetik Blonde
Song of the Day – Golf Riots: “Bridges You Burn”
Song of the Day – Some Days Are Darker: “Dead Romance”
Song of the Day – Bad Valentines: “Mariia”
Song of the Day – Januarius: “Strange Illusions”
