Recently I've been reminded of some movies that I used to adore as a small child that I haven't seen in a while - "Bedknobs and Broomsticks", "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang", "Dr. Doolittle" (Rex Harrison version), etc. They sort of have that classic-movie coloration, and silly antics, and elements of the fantastic, all made hazy by a beautiful patina of nostalgia that I just can't resist.
I actually went to watch "Bedknobs" on Youtube, and tried to find "Chitty", but while I found the first, the second was all taken down already. sad I don't own either of them, so I'll have to wait till I can get Netflix again and see if they're on there. ninja heart

Szen PainfullyVivid I also remember the movie that I watched where the main woman character called the main male character a p***y, and I thought she was talking about a cat. I didn't know why my mom told me to stop saying p***y. emo That reminds me of how when I was a kid I always called the cat a carpet muncher because she chewed the carpet. The funny thing is, I don't remember my parents saying anything. I don't think they knew the slang either. XDD; I loved the muppet movies and Dark Crystal. Also, Princess Bride, Legend, Labyrinth, Willow... I guess I liked fantasy. I know I saw plenty of the Disney movies, but I don't really remember them. Carpet muncher is a slang? *thinks about it* ah.... ah yeah, I can see how that could be e_e' I never heard it used though. .....well now I've learned something new to add to my urban vocabulary.
Your fantasy spiel reminds me that I generally liked fantasy stuff too as a kid... I say liked... I still like really :B The Neverending Story was a big fave! ...that and Neverending Story 2. I never got to the sequels though... I heard they sucked xD I somehow missed Princess Bride and Legend until I was in high school though. *shrug*

Junimaia I was a Disney kid. I was into all the animated musicals, had all the cassette soundtracks, had a beat up stuffed young Simba doll that I dragged around with me eeeeeeverywhere. I was also into alot of the non-Disney animated movies I could catch on tv... Felix the Cat, Little Nemo, The Chipmunk Adventure... oh man the Chipmunk Adventure, I wanna see that again.
Chipmunk Adventure is still on YouTube. Give it a watch and be shocked at how "sexy" the Chipettes are. Extra laughs for the blatant depiction of smoking, alcoholism, even a hangover and physical abuse between the villains! You could also wonder if there's some incest going on, because they live in the same house and uh... I dunno, there's just something creepy between those two.
(Btw, google hard enough and you can find the soundtrack. Some awesome person ripped a cassette tape and put it online!)
