Looking back on these old childhood classics is really awesomeвЂ¦ not only do you have those вЂњOH, WOW, I REMEMBER THAT.!вЂќ moments - you also pick up all sorts of subtext which youвЂ™d NEVER notice as a kid. The animation and storyline are to die for, thoughвЂ¦ The 3 main hyenas were EXACT reincarnations of the Trinidadian-Core. xDДЄnyway, back on track: The Lion King is also, of course, epic - but I tend to sympathize with Scar too much, so I go through this ~inner conflict~ while watching. Mai and I also thought that heвЂ™s kind of like TarzanвЂ™s mother. WE COULDNвЂ™T FIND A DIRECT RELATION TO ED, but I think heвЂ™s that monkey which stole the paper from JaneвЂ™s sketchbook. SheвЂ™s somewhat awkward but вЂњin a nice wayвЂќ.

She flails a lot and sometimes doesnвЂ™t know what to do with herself. This match-up was totally sold when he said his very first line: вЂњIs this water sanitary? (*prods at water disdainfully*)вЂ¦It looks questionable to me!вЂќ Tarzan and Brother Bear were my favourites, hands down.ДЇor Tarzan, we ever came up with some connections. I hadnвЂ™t watched The Lion King, Tarzan, or Aladdin in ages, and IвЂ™d never even seen Brother Bear or The Polar Express. After burning us each a CD of classic Disney songs (which IвЂ™m, incidentally, listening to now), Ed successfully brought Mai and I back to our childhood, and we made plans for the Epic Marathon as soon as possible.ДЄnd, let me just sayвЂ¦ it was amazing. This sudden, rekindled love spread like the plague. Next thing I know, IвЂ™m being bombarded on MSN with CAPITALIZED lyrics of virtually EVERY DISNEY SONG which he owned. IвЂ™m not too sure, myselfвЂ¦ All I know is that Ed had tons of History notes to take, and he somehow stumbled upon a song from The Lion King. You might be wondering what triggered this. (If you donвЂ™t believe me, just ask Robin.)

I mean, 10 hours worth of movies? We can hardly sit still for just one. The mission? To marathon these works of art in a single sitting. They were classics: The Lion King, Aladdin, Tarzan, Brother Bear and The Polar Express. These werenвЂ™t just ordinary DVDs - most definitely not. Last week, Ed, Mai and myself assembled in EdвЂ™s game-room, armed with 5 DVDs. I havenвЂ™t mentioned it, but amidst all of the note-taking, reading and studying (which can only occur during the dreaded Final Stretch), I have given into my inner child.
