It was an real incredible experience for me. The quality of food was only matched by the quality of service I got. I wish I can keep the flavor in my mouth for ever. Thanks for making the evening an unforgettable one.

In 1937, Disney released its first animated feature film, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” My grandmothers were six years old at the time.
With the acquisition of Pixar Animation Studios in 2006, Walt Disney Studios has released over 50 feature films since the 1930s, and I wanted to show my gratitude to the entity that helped shape my world.
A tribute to the Golden Era of Disney animated feature films…

Hercules (1997)
The Muses SANG to the GAWDS, sis!!! Hymns, sis! I just knew I was the tallest one with the five big curly rolls and the headband. Whatta soundtrack!
The curling animation style and voice cast, including Danny DeVito as “Phil,” really heightened this one for me! (I immediately picked out DeVito’s distinct voice because “Matilda” had just come out too and we played it to death at church camp!)

The Princess and the Frog (2009)
Bruh, we finally got one. She was human for like 15 minutes, but a win is a win! 🤷🏽
I was glad Disney decided to revert back to their signature 2-D animation style to introduce their first Black princess. I think they did their homework and refrained from stereotype and negative tropes with this classic story.
Hopefully Disney decides to broaden their rainbow of princesses/heroines to include more ethnicities, backgrounds, and cultures. There are so many rich and beautiful tales across the world to be told. Can’t wait to see what’s next!

The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)
THUG TEARS!!!! Omg, this one is still a little hard for me to watch.
Claude Frollo is a top four Disney villain of all time—pure evil.
Not gonna lie, after seeing Esmeralda, my goals at that time (6 years old) shifted from ballerina-doctor-veterinarian hybrid to gypsy real quick.
The last scene of this film still leaves me in a blubbering mess. This film taught me a lot about empathy and humanity.

Pocahontas (1995)
I had the bed set, the alarm clock, books, curtains, pillows, EVERYTHING! I (inappropriately) dressed as her for Halloween for at least two years straight. Imagine being from the same state as one of the most well-known American Indians ever, and this movie comes out and talks about the place where you grandparents live. ‘Twas something.
While they fabricated much of her story, including her real name (look it up), they did a fantastic job with making a Flintstones vitamin chewable out of content:
“You think you own whatever land you land on
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name 
You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You’ll learn things you never knew, you never knew…”
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You’ll learn things you never knew, you never knew…”
Poetry.

Tarzan (1999)
Phil Collins on the Track!
I remember seeing this in the theaters and boo-hoo crying at nine. Nine, bruh! So emo.
The soundtrack was definitely a character all it’s own for this film. Gorgeous animation too! Tarzan was gliding on those trees and vines and stuff! I wanted to do it too! He was like a skateboarder. That leopard fight was crazy!

Beauty and the Beast (1991)
This was my favorite Disney film of all time for a really long time.
I wrote a paper in college arguing that Disney films had a history of blatant racist, colorist, or ethnically-inaccurate or inappropriate tropes. I cited “Beauty and the Beast” as the one film that didn’t emanate any overt racial or ethnically-inexcusable content, but you know Stockholm syndrome and verbal abuse are ahhh, pretty harmful to pass as acceptable behaviors in a children’s film.
It’s long been atop my lists of the best animated films of all time, especially the “dance” scene. I loved this movie so much that I refused to sully it’s stature in my mind by watching the live action remake. (Actually, I have not seen any of the live action remakes, and not really planning on it—except for “Dumbo” because it’s directed by Tim Burton).
Random: I’ve always been attracted to men who look like the human form of the Beast. I don’t…quite…know…why. And I blame Disney fully.
Au revoir.

Lion King (1994)
You’re probably thinking:
“PISTACHIO, HOW IS THIS NOT NUMERO UNO?!”
Cuh, it ain’t, sis!
I will confess–I recently paid for WIFI on a Delta flight to watch this movie on my cell phone, and I cried like I’d never seen this movie before. Like a whole baby, weeping in a cramped Delta Economy seat. A mess.
Obviously, The Lion King, is top-tier, Disney Golden Era-caliber filmage. Obvi.
But, she ain’t number one. Sorry, not sorry. She actually switches back and forth with the top spot, depending on the day.
And, I’m not looking forward to the live action remake. I just…some things can and should be left alone.

Aladdin (1992)
Uhhhh, yea…Aladdin is tops.
The animation was dope.
The characters were 
.
The SEGA game was amazing.
And, the songs are still stuck in my head.
And Robin Williams. The God. The Genius. The Legend. There will never be another like him. He made this movie feel like magic. RIP 
Again, I will not subject myself to the live-action remake. Did you see what they did to Will? I’m good, fam. Y’all have fun and spoil it for me later.
