I still remember the first movie that I ever saw at the cinema. It was The Lion King. This movie was so beautifully crafted despite the fact that African animals spoke with American accents. It was brilliant.
There are other movies that define my childhood:
- Mary Poppins
- Sound of Music
- My Fairlady
- Anastasia
- Beauty and the Beast
- Cinderella
- Lady and the Tramp
- Fox and the Hound (still cannot watch it without crying)
- Faraway Tree
- You've got mail
- Notting Hill
- Forrest Gump
- Fly Away Home (still one of my favourites)
Now I hate to sound like one of those cliched old people, but they just don't make them like they used to.
Now its all about Ben10, Anime and attempts at recreating the old Disney magic, but nothing quite captures the beauty and authenticity of the old movies.
Hopefully we won't lose these gems so that our children can experience them too.
What were some of your childhood favourites?
