Oh- the animation on the hair in that movie is amazing- that trying to do 3-D animated fur or hair? HARD. But some of the songs even made me whince, none of the caharcters felt new (And the Frollo/Quasimodo controlling false parent figure was better done). Just, not impressed, and I wanted so badly when I first heard about it. Plus, read lots of YA novels based off Rapunzel (And hey, best Rapunzel princess expy is so Luthien. ) About the only truly clever thing I thought was the explanation for the hair as magic, and thus the length, and all around that was very smart story-building.

I was...3/4 when Little Mermaid came out, it was my first or second VHS and I watched it on repeat. Saw all the Disney movies up through...Atlantis, in theaters each year they came out.

I love some more than others, didn't really dislike most. Hunchback was one that I grew to love more and more as I grew older. My hearts forever to Belle because as a quiet, outcast brunette with brown eyes who loved to read more than anything and always moving to a new town -I was Belle and she was my princess. And Little Mermaid, Lion King, Aladdin, Mulan. Hercules was middle-high on my list (and even at that age the making Hades the villian and Greek myth mashup bugged me a tad, but the pop culture sillyness and fun and the sass of Meg and Phil was great.) I never cared much for Pocahantus. - Plus that was the year we had the class trip to Jamestown and Colonial Williamsburg. Eye teeth for the animated movie of Sacagewea instead.
Oooh, can't sing worth a copper nickel- but I loved to play-act that part of "Bells of Notre Dame."
