Media and a memory

When I was little I could not live without my favorite movie: The Little mermaid. Every Saturday it was the same routine; wake up, eat breakfast, then go to my TV room and press play. It was the most wonderful movie ever, not even mentioning the fact that I was in Love with mermaids. When I watched that movie, it was like was underwater, there with them.

Watching the movie would go a little like this for me; holding my breath as the movie begins, waiting in anticipation for the fist scene to begin, and no matter how many times I’ve seen it I still ooh and ahh every time it starts. Then later on standing on the couch and acting+singing along to whatever song or scene was on. 🎶UNDER THE SEA🐠!!🎶🎶PART OF YOUR WORLD🌎!!🎶 (Usually accompanied by yells from my mom and dad to stop the racket.) Crying after Eric doesn’t know that she saved him, and laughing at the stupid things that scuttle does, and of course you can’t help but smile at poor Sebastian for trying to keep that up-to-no-good Ariel out of trouble.

The little mermaids disk basically lived in the DVD player. If someone took it out to watch something, it would go back in the next day. The think about that movie is that you can’t help but just ding it captivating, and that’s what I love about it. That’s why The Little Mermaid was is my favorite movie of all time!

  1. my favorite movie as a kid was The Iron Giant. I watched it so many times i could act out the entire movie without having to watch it.

  2. I really like how you described the movie in your post and your emotion about the movie. Personally I haven’t seen it, but it sounds like a great movie to me!

  3. Daniel hasn’t seen The Little Mermaid? We’ve got to fix that!

    I like the way you describe your Saturday morning routine. Then the image of that DVD making it back into the DVD player every time someone took it out really clinches the message: Little Mermaid was essential to your happiness!

    Do you have a favorite scene you could embed in this post? Media was part of the requirement this week :- ) Add that piece, proofread for typos, and let me know when you have this updated.

    We STILL watch Little Mermaid at my house, and my youngest is 19 years old!
