God, I feel like an old geezer right now. I just tried going to sleep but couldn't because I was thinking SOOOOOOO much about the old Disney movies and how this new-age crap is never gonna top it. How, the current generation from 2000-2010 will NEVER get to experience the raw greatness that was the TRUE Disney. Oliver and Company, Lady and the Tramp (or whatever it was called), the ORIGINAL Peter Pan, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, THE LIST GOES ON!
Call me a little kid for loving those movies, but I'm just a sucker for the classics. I mean, sure, they've been putting em out again on DVD and Blu-Ray, but you absolutely have to experience it on VCR to get the whole rush of Walt Disney's masterpieces. I was born a 90's kid, so I don't know much about the Adventures of Steamboat Willie, or the Original cartoons. I grew up with Fantasia and all that and I will be DAMNED if I forget what supported my childhood so much so that it became secondary only to breathing. I would watch the Aristocats all day and then switch to another Disney movie, then I'd watch some other 90's classics. Hell, I'd watch the first pokemon movie until I passed out!
I honestly couldn't see a childhood where I grew up without those movies, it's just unfathomable. And now, the current generation is completely ignorant to exactly WHAT they are missing. So, I recommend a slight change. To anyone who reads this, start trying to get a petition to change Disney's programming. Just ONE DAY is all I'm asking, one day where they show nothing but the classics, so that this current generation of deprived children can learn exactly what drove the 90's kids when we were there age. So that this current generation can learn exactly how great the originals were, and how pale the new so-called "Disney Movies" are in comparison.

Please, think of the children.
