Yeah I only know the names of the movies(Frozen and Princess & the Frog), like I said I haven't paid any deeper attention to Disney after Tarzan, it felt like the animations became stale and already "chewed through", if that makes sense. Like there's nothing to ponder on. I'm not sure if I've seen any Disney movie apart from The Lion King in cinemas, back when I was 6 in -94. I was going to say Toy Story but that was Pixar. I remember back then the computer animation felt fresh and cool, and now every animation seems to either be CGI-generated pus or drawn in a really lackadaisical "Well, we don't really care as long as someone buys into this bullshit"-style.
I've got literally every Disney movie from Fantasia and Snow White to Tarzan(even the live-action ones), in digital form but anyway. Love going back to the oldies, my favourite is probably The Black Cauldron, simply for it's references(The Horned King and the Princess Eilonwy etc.) to The Chronicles of Prydain-book series from the 60s, and because it was an animation that had adult themes and a credible antagonist(The Horned King almost made me shit my pants when I was a wee kid and saw the movie for the first time).
Btw, chucked you a watch, your writing style is interesting so I don't want to lose your profile. I'll come back to read some more later.

Thank you thank you. For both the watch and the long, interesting comment conversation!
I've heard of the Chronicles of Prydain, but haven't watched it. Though to be fair, I haven't watched a lot of things. I like the Toy Story series, but mostly that's just cause Andy's my age, and Toy story 3 came out the year I went off to uni.Β
I get what you mean. I'm thankful we've lived through the crossroads of animation and CGI, and I think it's amazing how much has changed, but I think my favourite still remains rotoscoping. I was never a Disney princess and I never bought into that hype, but recently I've been questioning if it's because my youth was shaped by the Feminist movement. My mom didn't believe in Barbies.Β
Either way, I'm thankful for that. Hope you enjoy the rest of my stuff. You'll get to see the transformations of whiney teenager to whinging loss millennial if you trawl through the trenches enough.

Oh, I think it certainly shapes the child in some ways, the way our parents act and believe if it affects the years growing up. My sisters had Barbies & dolls and things but neither of them is anything approaching a Disney princess in attitude or way of dress. More utilitarian and/or bohemian. I know for certain it affected my early adoption of atheistic views that my father who is well over 60 has always been a free thinker & atheist. I remember distinctly he never said "God doesn't exist" or things like that to me when I was growing up, and my mother coaxed me into going through a Lutheran first confirmation at 15. She forced me to cut my hair for all that musty pomp and ceremony too. After that I started growing my hair out(and now it's a big ol' mane of golden blonde naturally curly hair), and the day I turned 18 and gained judicial right to decide my own matters I officially separated from the church, told them to remove me from their books. This way I don't have to pay the Church tax either, hahaa! So yeah. Somehow for me it always felt apparent, that our parents affect us in many ways. Maybe that's simply because I can directly draw so many points of relation from my behaviour and character to my mother or father, or even my(dead since 2003) mother's mother.Β

it certainly throws a definite wrench into the whole nature v nurture argument, dunnit?Β
i know for me, as a child and as a teenager, i wanted to be like the other girls--barbie dolls, girly sleepovers all that crap. only after maturity did i realize how thankful i am for being so unlike them.Β
my parents left me alone to decide the paths i wanted in life, though they left strong building and guiding blocks. i think it's a rite of passage though, to rebel against even the things that make sense. it's so senseless and mindless, but alas, youth.Β

The whole "Nature vs. Nurture"-debate is very complex I think, it has multiple wrenches yet still multiple working cogs in it. I would wager it's almost wholly situational. In the sense that subjective factors come to weigh a lot in the outcome of things, what type of personality and character someone has. I've known people that went horribly astray and grew askew from good homes, and people from fractured homes and traumatic backgrounds that made good of themselves. Sure you do too.
I've felt like an outsider in life for the first time in kindergarten, nowadays that feeling is practically daily(or nightly as it might be said. Late, lone evenings seem to be the time my thoughts assail me most,) but I have learned to mostly manage it. I'm not thankful for being this way though, it has given me a very cynical and nonchalant perspective on so many things. But I get what you mean, in regards to wanting to be like the other girls when you were younger. Sounds strange your mother wouldn't allow sleepovers. O_oΒ
It's pretty much the same story with me and my parents, as your story is. They gave me the building blocks, taught me how to be respectful and diplomatic, be nice to other people but defend your own position and physical immunity etc. and guided me any time I needed it. But never forced me to study or do things I didn't want to do(I agreed to the confirmation-thingie because I knew my relatives would bring gifts of money and silver jewelry[the latter being somewhat traditional in finnish confirmations]). My mom couldn't have forced me into the church, since my father would've most likely taken my side anyway. Though nowadays I'm very tired of life so I have to put forth an effort not to be a dickhead, more often than I'd like.(But that's because my depression has it's 15th birthday next year, diagnosed since 16, sufferer from before that. It tends to make one weary long before their time)
"Rebelling against things that make sense" reminded me of the time I stopped playing the clarinet just because I got to teenage and got very angsty, black metal and introversion, the whole shebang and badabing. Even though I still play some instruments and sing, that decision irks me to this day.
