"And for once, it might be grand..."

Movie re-releases. Seems like a waste of money at first. Until you go and see them. Disney has a new thing where they are re-releasing big-name movies in theaters nationwide... in 3D. o_O Seems sweet. And after seeing Lion King twice and Beauty and the Beast once in theaters in the past few months, I can honestly say that it IS sweet. And worth the money.



There is something about sitting in front of a gigantic screen with a bunch of excited fanatics that just makes seeing a movie 10x more exciting. That time when I saw Spiderman 3 on opening night and some guy in the front row stood up at the MJ-Harry kiss and yelled "WHAT the hell are you doing?!" That time I went to see LotR 3 and the theater was PACKED full of excited fans. There are certain moments that stand out for me, and seeing movies are among them. Go see these movies in theaters. Though I may remember seeing the movie as a young girl, the experience as a whole changes your impressions. I find it so cool to see people my age, who were clearly small children at the time, juxtaposed with parents bringing their young kids, all of whom run eagerly into the theater.

Disney is an experience worth having throughout your entire life. And what they are doing is giving children a gift which I was fortunate enough to have, as well as giving me the gift of a new perspective. Go see the re-released films, it's worth it for not only the cool 3D effects, but the experience that a movie theater brings.

Cheers!
