What's on screen? The Pagemaster

Movie night can be a lot of fun, but sometimes it's nice to go back to things you may not have seen for years. That's what we did this past saturday. We were out and about and one of my best friends saw The Pagemaster in a bin of movies and picked it up. It was surprising to see it out and available, since it's been a long time since I've seen or even thought about it. (Though not to long ago I did see an audio book on cassette for it....)

The Pagemaster is one of those movies with layered details. There's things I noticed in our most recent viewing I hadn't noticed before. And the music! As the movie started I got serious chills. It's stupid I guess to say that, but it was wonderful.

Why?

Because as a movie that I watched as a kid, to see it again as an adult and review the content, I had a chance to think about it again. The lessons taught by the film, and the way that they're shown is rather direct. It's not trying to trick you. It's very straightforward.

I'm just babbling I guess, but I want you to think about showing this movie to your children if you have any. Let them toy with the idea of what books mean to them. Let them think about how amazing a story can be if they envision it, not just watch it on tv.

Then take them to the library. Let them explore the many volumes of literature that they CAN touch, read, and enjoy free of charge. Magic can be found in the pages, if you take the time to see them.

This video is adorable and I always get a laugh when I watch it. I hope that it makes you all smile too.

Talk about a dream! I kind of wish they'd have him sing more often. Just wanted to share one of my favorite characters with you. It's always a treat to see him do something artful.


Oh, and just because we all know how much I like my villains. I found this fun video that shows some great funny clips of the Joker from Batman the animated series. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did picking it out. Oh! You even get to hear him sing some Christmas music at the beginning!

Hrmm... I know some people that are clueless like that. But I think they should have improved a bit by now.

Cartoons are amazing things. They cross cultures and can sometimes be full of fun vibrant examples of art. I hope you enjoy watching this one as much as I have.

Mornings & Bats

 So it's another sunny morning here on the west coast. Outside there are some birds chirping, not any particular kind, just birds. I can't see them, but they're loud so I know they're there. It's Friday, there's not really a rush on the street here. Then again, it's a side street, there isn't usually a rush. But am still stretching and yawning from where I am.

And because it IS morning, and I'm not sure what to tell you all at the moment, we're gonna see two pictures that were sent my way by a friend ^_^. They make me smile, and am betting those of you who know me best will understand why. I don't own the images, I just enjoy them.

This is how I feel in the morning.

Batman & The Haunted Mansion, how can you NOT love this one?

Okay folks! Sorry for making it short today. Let's just say I've got a bit on my mind, maybe I will fill you in later this weekend, or maybe, just maybe later today if I can think of how to explain. In any case I hope you have a wonderful day. Remember, the only one who can truly limit your potential is you.

So the past month has been full of ups and downs. But that's the way that life is. We're all given choices to make, and our choices influence the way things in our lives go. So keep your mind open, and remember that  there are multiple ways to see something. That's what helps to keep life interesting.
