This one's for Sarah

So...I watched the Swan Princess last night. For those of you who don't know the glories of the Swan Princess, you must go watch it. RIGHT NOW! Basically, it's a pretty cheesy animated film that I love. And I'm somewhat of an animation snob. In fact, if I had to rate Swan Princess...it would have to be towards the bottom of the list as far as quality goes. 1. Disney/Studio Ghibli 2. Dreamworks (Prince of Egypt) 3. Fox (Anastasia) 4. Nissen (The Swan Princess) 5. The Magic Pony (I think its Russian...I've never seen animation of such poor quality) Ask Sarah about the Magic Pony sometime. Anyhoo, all of this to say that at the end of the film, when Prince Derek is having his big showdown with The Great Animal...I burst out laughing hysterically and couldn't stop. There comes a moment when the Great Animal pins its ears back, starts grinning maliciously, and snorting heavily through its nostrils. Sarah does such an amazing impersonation that although there was no one to hear me I was laughing uncontrollably for several minutes at the recollection. Thank you Sarah. I wonder if living alone is making me go crazy? Oh! And guess what? The special features has a sing along option! When I get home, Sarah, we are going to have a Swan Princess sing along. (Not you, Wesley...you're a rabbit!)

BAHAHAHA!!

Amazing!! I love that movie!! Oh man, I'm laughing aloud alone in my room right now, and I'm pretty sure I'm a freak. "Derek, you lost your queen!!" "That's twice in one day!!"

Oh, PS, I refuse to do the impression for anyone else....

Heh, Sarah, that was probably the best line in the whole film. I also can't believe I still know the lyrics to the songs as well as I do. This isn't my idea of fun, indeed! I blame my sister and our VHS binging in days of yore.

OMG!!! I LOVE that movie!!!!

One of my best friends and I had a running commentary while watching it back in high school and I really wish we had taped it (our commentary). It was hilarious!!! It's ridiculously corny, but soooooo good!
