There's been some good films on today, on Sky and normal TV!

On BBC 1 today there's been Toy Story 3, and then the live action version of Disney's Cinderella, the Network Premier of that! And then over on ITV there's been Harry Potter and the Prisoner of of Azkaban, arguably one of the best Potter movies IMO.

And then on Channel 4 there's been the Disney classic Dumbo, I watched that for a bit till I had to turn it off, you know that bit where Dumbo meets his Mum in the "Mad House"? It gets me crying like a Baby every time, and we've got company, my Uncle and his partner, so I couldn't cry.

Over on Sky there's been the Premiers of Disney's live action Beauty and the Beast, and the Lego Batman movie.

Some good stuff on this year, plus I've just watched another British classic, the Snowman, it's not Christmas if they don't show that, which they have every year since the early 80's.
 
When I was little I looked forward to Christmas being on a Saturday.
I thought that would be the ultimate in great things on television.
Cartoons on Christmas.

It wasn't though.
The regular cartoons were off and just parades, which were OK, but
not the amazing experience I had been anticipating.

Last night Uncle Buck and on and Trading Places.
I saw parts of both of them.

And watched all of the movie>

They made rather a mess of that.
Changed it so that the boy's girlfriend floats, when in the books she is the one
who makes flames with her hands.

Still, I am glad to have seen it.
Just so I know how it looked.
 
I've never liked Dumbo (having seen it only once); I feel uncomfortable with the way it glamourises the use of animals as circus performers.

Dumbo originally came out in the 40's, use of animals was still legal then.
 
I was looking forward to some Christmas classics - Rudolph, Frosty, and Charlie Brown - but I was too busy with family and...enjoying myself. Can't leave out the "yule log" either, that still seems to be a thing with at least one station pitching in...least I caught a bit of that. Ah well, everything's on the internet these days right? Time to catch up :p

At least, that/this time of the year on "normal" TV (normal as in, over-the-air television here in the US - I don't know what constitutes normal in the UK, sorry) they don't flood the waves with fluff and drama, just good ol' family entertainment. It's a relief for once, but a shame that I missed it...
