I will try my best to not select any Hayao Miyazaki movies, I promise :P

THREE MOVIES:

1. A Journey Through Fairyland. Could I have picked a more girly sounding movie or what? In reality though, it wasn't and I'm about to explain why. While there are "fairies" in this movie, this movie scared me in a way spiders do now. There was one scene in this movie where this giant Big Bad that was practically an Eldritch Abomination killed the princess and I remember just being so absolutely scared. It's a movie laced with classical music, as the main character himself goes to a music academy and plays the oboe, an instrument in which I have then come to respect. I've always loved music and wanted to play it, but I've never had the patience for it. Plus, there's a Puck character in this film who is so wonderfully mischievous and villainous, but doesn't convey it well. Truthfully, I'm just a classical music type of girl and this movie could lull me to sleep with it <3 It's certainly a favorite of mine and I never knew this until looking it up, but it was made by the Japanese <3 While it's certainly not as remarkable as a Miyazaki movie, this movie has a special place in my heart.

2. Milo & Otis. The opening song to this movie is such an ear worm, but I recently re-found this movie last year and just watching the first 10 minutes of it on Youtube sent me for a ride on the nostalgia train :P Nothing could be cuter than a cat and a pug going on adventures and I swear to god, if you watch it, Watson would be Otis HANDS DOWN. I bought this DVD, and much like whenever I would watch VHS movies with my dad, he fell asleep. I love finding old movies all over again and still being able to appreciate them!! From 8:00-9:35 is how I perceive him to act if he was a dog.


3. Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland. The ORIGINAL Nemo movie before Finding Nemo came out, which is also excellent in its own right <3 To be perfectly fair, there are only a few scenes in this movie that I remember, one of which being the bed flies and that there was a train they could ride on. I was very much into these trippy fantastical movies, if that hasn't become painstakingly obvious yet. I really want to purchase this on DVD, since I'm sure the VHS version is long gone from my collection, since my mother enjoys to sell my movies :C This is a description provided on a Youtube video of this movie: "A young boy, Nemo, and his flying squirrel, Icarus, are transported via dreams into a fantasy land named Slumberland following an invitation to play with the princess Camille. After breaking a promise to the king, Nemo's curiosity evokes disastrous results that require him to search out his nightmares to save the day." Trust the description too.. it's REALLY legit and scary for children!


I dare you to watch that movie clip and NOT be the least bit interested in the movie. So good <3
I'm such a child about movies and things :/
