Picture of the Day


     Before I start doing reviews on the many movies of Disney, I’d like to talk about an image that I took and how I feel that it connects to me on a personal level and the way it connects to how special Disney is to me.  The photo above is a double rainbow that appeared outside of my house that I was lucky enough to get a well-timed snapshot of.  I feel that the rainbow in the photo connects with me in that like every person, they are unique and colorful in their own way and that they stand out in a special way.  I know this might sound a little cheesy but, this really is how I feel about this photograph.

 I also felt that it connects with the Disney theme of my blog in that like a rainbow all of Disney films are truly unique and beautiful to look at and that in the darkest of times, any one of them can bring joy and happiness to those who need it.  This was especially true for me when my Grandfather passed away back in 2004, when I found out I was very depressed for several hours.  Not long afterwards I decided to watch The Jungle Book, the first Disney film I ever watched, and it cheered me very quickly.  Like a Rainbow, Disney will always hold a place in our hearts as something that can always be remembered as a source of happiness and a beautiful symbol that all can look at as source of inspiration for achieving their dreams.   Even though Disney is now a massive corporation with many departments, it has played a huge role in the lives of many people, especially through its hundreds of film animated or otherwise.  Is there an image you have that you connect with, if so feel free to leave a comment and let the world know.

Do you have a photograph that relates to you in a specific way, then feel free to leave a comment and let me know.

About this Blog

                

Hello and welcome Classic Disney Reviews, I’m Joe I’ll be the host for this blog.  I created this blog for multiple reasons, the first is due to the fact that I’ve been a huge Disney fan since before I could even walk or talk.  In my lifetime I’ve seen every single one of Walt Disney Animations 54 animated films, not counting Pixar, multiple times.  The second reason is that despite my love of these movies, I’ve never had a place where I could effectively write down what I liked and didn’t like about all of them.  Living in the digital age, it had become much easier to post opinions on popular films than it has ever been in years, so I feel a personal blog would be the perfect place to post my views on Disney’s animated films.   I feel that this is important to me since Disney has played a huge role in my life, especially during the time that have been dark and bleak.  Whenever I feel depressed I would pop in a Disney movie and it would make me feel much better no matter how horrible I was feeling.  Though this may seem very cheesy but I know that I'm not the only person who does this, showing just wonderful Disney truly is.      

With this in mind, I’ve decided that every couple of days or so I’ll post my personal review on every single one of the Disney animated canon.  In the next day or so I’ll post my first review, which of course will be on Walt Disney’s first animated classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, and eventually end with the most recent addition to the animated film line-up the Disney/Marvel Comics co-production Big Hero 6.  Once I’m done with all of these films, I may continue on with either the Disney/Pixar Animated films or the Major live action films that Disney has released.  However, I would also like to hear what my followers think of Disney's films.  If you want you can leave your opinion about the most recent film I've reviewed on the post and respond to your comment.  So with that, I hope everyone looks forward to my first review and I sincerely want you to have a magical time following this blog.
