Does a Walt Disney Home Video count? I'd be embarrassed for anyone to know how many times I watched Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day with my son when he was little. We both loved it, especially Pooh flying Piglet like a kite, and Piglet nobly giving his house to homeless Owl. Even the music was catchy! Now I've made myself nostalgic and want to see it again. :-)
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorites is the Gingerbread Man fairy tale. Here is a synopsis from Wikipedia.
ReplyDeleteIn the 1875 St. Nicholas tale, a childless old woman bakes a gingerbread boy who leaps from her oven and runs away. The woman and her husband give chase but fail to catch him. The gingerbread boy then outruns several farm workers and farm animals while taunting them with the phrase:
I've run away from a little old woman,
A little old man,
And I can run away from you, I can!
The tale ends with a fox catching and eating the gingerbread boy who cries as he's devoured, "I'm quarter gone...I'm half gone...I'm three-quarters gone...I'm all gone!" . . .
Variations on the original tale do occur. In one of these variations, the fox feigns indifference to the edible man. The cookie then relaxes his guard and the fox snatches and devours him. In some versions, The Gingerbread Boy halts in his flight at a riverbank, and after accepting the fox's offer as a ferry, he finds himself eaten mid-stream.
In some retellings, The Gingerbread Boy taunts his pursuers with:
Run, run as fast as you can;
You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man.
Favorite Disney movie is Pirates of the Caribbean. My favorite part is the scene where Jack is sailing into port on a sinking ship and steps off onto the dock just as the ship goes under. As far as fairy tales go, my favorite was Rapunzel. I always wanted to grow my hair long like Rapunzel. Maybe not have princes climbing up it, sounds too painful!
