Throwback Thursday: The Emperor's New Groove

Alright, back in the nostalgic movie train for the week... I watched The Emperor's New Groove! This has always held a special place in my heart because I think it's definitely one of the funniest Disney movies if not the funniest... at least from when I was growing up, it is one of the funnier ones.

And I'm happy it held up! It wasn't the best movie ever... but its still really funny and you can see even though Kuzco seems like a big jerk that is almost unforgivable... he does have good qualities. I think the only reason he was mean to Pacha was because he really thought Pacha turned him into a llama and he didn't think Yzma or Kronk had anything to do with it.

The voice acting in this movie is also pretty unique for a Disney movie... especially back then. Its all well known actors who are known for being in comedies. Eartha Kitt voiced Yzma and she did a wonderful job! I never knew that she played Yzma! I thought that was pretty cool!

This is also one that I loved when it first came out and I saw it at the movies and got the VHS tape and watched it over and over again because my sister and I both really liked it. We had a few movies that were like our go-to movies that we'd watch over and over again and it was This, Shrek, Dr. Doolittle 2 and Monsters Inc. And we had those displayed in front of our other movies because those were our favorites.

I miss the drawn animation as opposed to the CGI stuff. I think if I were to list all of my favorite Disney movies (which I probably did or will do in the near future because thats a good one) it would probably be a lot of Pixar movies... I think overall if I had to choose Disney or Pixar... I'd choose Pixar. Monster's Inc is one of my all time favorite movies and a lot of Pixar movies are ones I find myself watching over and over again... but that doesn't mean I don't love the hand-drawn animation because I really think those are amazing too.

The Emperors New Groove probably isn't in the Top 10 list I have for Disney movies... but it probably is in the top 25 or top 30... just cause its really funny and I thought the action of it held up well too. The scene where I was kind of like "Yeah this movie is great" was when Kronk was cooking dinner and Yzma and Kuzko kept going in and out changing the order. They're so similar but so different that its just funny. No wonder they're enemies! Lol.

Byeee!

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f
