Today's blog post is my final favourite few pictures from my holiday to Orlando Florida!
Hope you enjoy! :)
Seaworld
I just want to say that I do not in any way support the treatment of the Orcas (Killer Whales) at Seaworld, their tanks are much too small and they should not perform like they do, however I watched the performance as I wanted to see these beautiful creatures in person.
Magic Kingdom
So that's the end of my holiday pictures! I hope you've enjoyed seeing them and it inspires you to go and watch a Disney film! :)
If you're a regular reader of my blog, or you know me IRL, you will know how much I love Disney. It is basically my life; my true love.
One thing I love the most about Disney movies is the soundtracks.
So for this week's Top 5 Tuesday I thought I'd share with you my favourite Disney songs.
1. Hercules - I Won't Say I'm in Love
This is my all time favourite Disney song, EVER. I love this song so much because it depicts my own feelings about love and heartbreak. I never like to admit when I like someone, even more so when I'm in love with someone. So Meg's beautiful solo truly understands my own thoughts.
2. Hercules - Go the Distance
Yes, it's from Hercules again. I think I love the songs more than I love the movie, but not by much! This song is incredibly beautiful and poetic. It really makes you think about your own life and how the lyrics apply to you. Roger Bart has an amazing voice and truly makes you care for Hercules and his struggle.
3. Mulan - I'll Make a Man Out of You
This is such a sassy song in my opinion. It is one of the funniest Disney songs there is, especially when the character of Ling sings 'boy was I a fool in school for cutting gym.'
Whenever I hear thing song it makes me want to watch the movie.
4. Lion King 2 - Love Will Find a Way
Bringing out my romantic side, this song truly gives me hope for love. It's all about how when you love someone, you can overcome any obstacle together. This is also my favourite of the Lion King movies, I prefer it to the first (don't hate me).
5. Frozen - In Summer
It has been very difficult choosing a song from Frozen as my favourite, but my love for Olaf has pushed me in this direction. In Summer is such a fun song and Josh Gadd's voice is amazing. My favourite line has to be 'Winter's a good time to stay in and cuddle, but put me in summer and I'll be a .... happy snowman!'
I also have another song I want to add in here, and as it isn't a Disney song so it doesn't count towards the top 5 (I'm cheating I know ^_^).
This is my Idea from The Swan Princess.
I know all the words and love singing to this! It is such a fun song and absolutely hilarious; from 'If you make me kiss her hand again I swear I'm gonna be sick' to the beautiful chorus between Odette and Derek 'Til now I never knew, it is you I've been dreaming of'. It is such an amazing movie and I could watch it over and over again.
Okay so it was really hard to pick a top 5 out of all the fabulous Disney songs out there, but there we have it.
For this week's top 5 Tuesday, I thought I'd do something a little different. If you have read my previous post 20 Facts About Methen you will know I am a huge Disney fanatic. Any merchandise I see I MUST have! So this week I thought I'd clue you in on my top 5 favourite Disney movies! They aren't in any particular order, as even though they are my top five, I can't choose which is my favourite out of them all!
So here they are! It was seriously difficult choosing the top 5 out of my collection, I love so many of them for so many different reasons, but I settled on Aristocats, Frozen, Mulan, Peter Pan and Bambi :)
Aristocats is a favourite of mine because I am a serious cat lover. Marie is my favourite character, but I also love her brothers (and their names!) Toulouse and Berlioz. If I get any pets in the future, I hope to name them after these two adorable animated kitties! The music is also something I adore, especially the track 'Everybody Wants to be a Cat', it's just such a feel good song! My favourite scene in the entire movie is when the kittens and their momma have been thrown in a pond by Edgar, and Berlioz gets scared by a toad. It makes me laugh every time and I absolutely love it!
Next up is Frozen. This had to be in my top 5 as I adore it so so much! I love the music, especially 'Do You Wanna Build A Snowman' and 'Let It Go'. The characters are hilarious, especially Olaf and Sven, Olaf is my favourite! My favourite scene in this movie is where Anna, Kristoff, Olaf and Sven have fallen off the mountain after being chased by the giant ice monster. Kristoff hit his head, and when Anna asks if he is okay, he replies that he has a thick skull. Olaf then states 'I don't have a skull. Or bones.' Just the way he says it so matter-of-factly makes me laugh so much!
Mulan is in my top 5 as she is one badass chick. It's nice to see a heroine that needs no man to help her. She is the one who defeats the Huns and it's captain, not the men. She is amazing and an inspiration to young girls everywhere. I also love the cricket and Mushu. They are hilarious! My favourite part of this movie is when Mulan has been deserted after Shang finds out she is a woman. She is sat around a fire with Mushu, cricket and the horse when cricket tells them he is not lucky. Mushu exclaims, 'What do you mean you're not lucky? You lied to me?' Then turns to the horse and says 'And what are you a sheep?!' It makes me giggle, Eddie Murphy is hilarious as Mushu.
Peter Pan also had to be in my favourites as it is just so magical. I love everything from the flying, to the mermaids and the pirates. 'Faith, trust and pixie dust' is one of my favourite quotes. My favourite characters are Smee and little Michael, Wendy's brother. He is just so adorable and reminds me a lot of myself when I was younger with his teddy bear! Smee is one of my favourites as he is so clumsy and stupid, you can't help but laugh at him!
My favourite part within this movie is when Smee puts boiling hot water in the bucket for Captain Hook and he shoots out of the chair burning. It just shows how silly poor Smee is!
And last but not least is Bambi. As I am an animal lover, anything including animals interests me! I also find that animals within Disney movies are also usually the funniest characters. My favourites in this film are Bambi and Thumper. My favourite quote is from Thumper, 'If you can't say something nice, don't saying nothing at all.' It has a much deeper meaning and I love how Disney include these things to help show children right from wrong.
My favourite part of the movie is when Thumper is trying to teach Bambi how to say 'bird'. The way Bambi says the word is so cute and funny, my Mum and I sometimes say it to each other just for a giggle!
So there you have it, my top 5 Disney movies.
Hope you enjoyed this post and the little insight into my interests it gives you.
