My Little & I sorta kinda unintentionally traded movies today. Rather, we watched movies we knew the other person liked and told each other about it. I watched
How to Train Your Dragon 2. Considering I'd only seen the first one a few weeks prior, it was all still fresh in my mind. I didn't wait five years for Hiccup to grow handsome. I don't think I even waited five weeks. BUT. It was lovely all the same. True to the original, not afraid to be real in terms of relationships (familial, romantic, and otherwise), and incredibly heartfelt. I cried. I couldn't help it. It was sad and sweet and fun and beautiful. I'm thrilled with it. Now I must see the other Animated Feature nominees and decide for myself who should've won. I adore Disney, as you know, and I've heard only wonderful things about
Big Hero 6. But after Frozen beating
The Wind Rises last year, I'm skeptical. (Then again,
Spirited Away beat
Lilo & Stitch way back when. And although I am so attached to
Lilo & Stitch, I can acknowledge
Spirited Away earned that victory). What I cannot accept is
Howl's Moving Castle losing to
Wallace & Gromit. Speaking of Studio Ghibli and
Howl's Moving Castle, that's what Mandy watched today. Well, I don't know if she finished it, but she definitely started it. And she's already commenting on the beautiful animation. I could rant about my love for my favorite movie for hours. It's so magical. I may have to watch it again right now, to be honest. Only an hour after she told me she was watching that, Moises told me he is on Season 3 of
Red vs Blue. Hooray for sharing interests! Go us.
