::i cry over disney movies::

I really do! This was actually a recent development. I usually never cry during movies and now I can't stop. Last week after I got home from Havasupai I sat on the couch and watched this movie:

along with other various Disney classic movies.

Needless to say, I know, but I will anyways, it was a VERY productive day.

Anyway, the first movie I watched was Hercules. And just when the movie was starting I started bawling. Full blown tears. I'm not sure why. I guess I just couldn't stand the thought of cute baby Hercules being taken away from his parents and pet flying horse.

I know, right? And the tears didn't stop there, as I was contemplating how he was growing up without his real family, the movie then came to the part where Hercules is a teenager and the other boys in the village do not include him in their frisbee games...and call him a geek.

(I was reminded of rudolph and his mean reindeer friends)

Another round of tears made their way down my face. How could people be so mean? I would include Hercules in my frisbee games. I cried for his earth father, who didn't know what to do with his awkward, misfit son. Why couldn't everyone just see that Hercules couldn't control his strength?

*disclaimer: I have seen this movie a few hundred times before and I haven't cried once.

Am I finally becoming an emotional girl? After years and years of stoney cold unfeeling attitudes at disney movies, has something has finally pulled at my little girl heart strings....? I guess that Hercules does have some very powerful emotions scripted into it. I mean, who doesn't feel inspired by the song "Where I Belong"?
