Still my favorite

For the past 3 nights in a row, I've watched Disney's Pocahontas. And it's about the 6th or 7th time I've watched it in the past couple of weeks. Now you have to understand, this is the first time I've watched Pocahontas in years. I mean YEARS. I honestly don't remember the last time I watched the whole thing like this. And I love it every single time. I can't get enough of it. When I was little, this movie was my absolute FAVORITE. I had Pocahontas clothes, Pocahontas toys, Pocahontas hair accessories, books, costumes, little odds and ends, everything. I even had a Pocahontas birthday with a fabulous birthday cake - the icing was like a river running through a forest, and there were action figures of Pocahontas in a canoe and other things on top of it. Dare I say it, I was obsessed. But I kind of lost interest, as most kids do when they grow up, and only in the past few years have I started revisting the old Disney movies again. They're all fantastic, but this was the first time I'd gotten around to Pocahontas, like I said, in years. I was literally spellbound. It's understandable why this movie captivated me so much as a little kid, but I have to say, I probably appreciate it more now. It's such an incredible story, full of romance, action, suspense, adventure, and comedy, not to mention a wonderful soundtrack. I'm honestly struggling to find the words to describe it. It's very grown-up for a Disney movie, meaning older kids and adults can really appreciate what's going on. Little kids, like I was, will like the surface things: the colorfulness, the funny parts, the songs, and even the love story. But now, as a nineteen year old, I can watch this movie and genuinely love it as a movie. I know now why it's my favorite Disney movie, even if I didn't realize it when I was little. It really is such a great story and a well put together movie. Even if it is animated. Just go back and watch it. It's on youtube - that's how I found it. See what I mean. There is a lot to appreciate in that movie once you're older. I wish I could find better words to describe it. Maybe just saying that I've watched it 3 nights in a row and still want to watch it again is good enough.
