Has disney affected your life anyway. I am not saying it is the thing I think about always. But there has been times in my life that I am thankful for disney other times I am not but if I look at and if disney was never made I think a part of me would be lost. Sad

Hmmm...well, I was about to say I'd be an entirely different person, seeing as I'm totally into Tinker Bell and the Princesses, but there's still the 80s cartoons I liked, so maybe I'd be a Jem Girl instead of a Princess. Laughing

But there's also some great stories/fairy tales that I might not have been into. I'm heavily into fantasy and mythology, and I think Disney might have something to do with it, since as far back as I can remember (and I can remember pretty far back.) it introduced me to the fairy tale world--even though I was introduced to Grimm, Andersen and those other guys at a very young age.

Disney makes up about 80% of my life, 75% being that of Aladdin Laughing

It's definitely affected my life in more ways that I can't even list because there's so many of them. One of the biggest ones being art and inspiring me there...although I suck, so I need to be inspired a little harder Laughing

I think it has affected me by showing that animation can be really well done and it really brought me into how much I can love music. It has also helped me with school assignements. Sometimes the teacher is impressed when someone still loves disney.

Well... I have a few mannerisms in my behavior that I've realized come from Disney movies. It's really strange watching said movie and realizing that that's where I picked it up. Creepy, even! Razz

Janette pointed one way Disney has definitely affected our lives - Disney = Touchstone = Ernest P. Whorrel. "Herr Doctor Jones, I see you have found the Ark for us!"

Ernest Rides Again is one of our favorite movies to quote. Thank you, Disney. Very Happy

Biggest Disney fan? I think I'd have to say... someone who is not me. My interests are too dispersed. Very Happy

Though I enjoy reading and watching the cartoons of my childhood (80's), am interested in stuff like science and tech Aladdin is what makes me tick. I can't even remember how my life was before Aladdin cq Disney. I'm even looking for Disney connections in my other intrests. So yes Disney changed my life allot.

You do realize that the Aladdin series is nothing but a sci-fi with a 'magical' wrapping, right? Very Happy

I enjoy all kinds of Disney stuff quite a lot, but the most important change it made to my life is if there was no Disney, I wouldn't have fallen in love with Iago and this site wouldn't exist, so I'd have never met my best friend. And she has certainly made a lot of changes to my life, for the better. And I wouldn't have seen Kirsten's avatar and checked out SGA, another tragedy! Laughing

I think I was a Disney kid since conception. I adapted Disney-isms from inside the womb. Laughing

Disney has definitely affected my life in so many ways that it's too much to count.

I think it's safe to say that even if everyone isn't a big fan, Disney has affected everyone on earth in one way or another. (Especially in America) Smile

I'm not ashamed to stand up to anyone who trash-talks Disney. The same thing goes for my country, my religion, my race(s)

::plays patriotic music in the background and salutes:: Very Happy

A day in the life:

Today, I woke up in my Bambi pajamas. The pillow that my head was resting on was covered with a Beauty and the Beast pillowcase, and next to me was my decorative "Greetings from Paradise" Ariel pillow. Looking around the room, a Disney Princesses poster (that I don't even really like anymore, but at the time, a $3 poster with the Princesses seemed like a cool decoration for college) is on the opposite wall, above the TV. Ariel, Pocahontas, and Esmeralda Zizzlingers sit on top of the TV, with Song of the South (a VHS converted from an international laserdisc), Nightmare Before Christmas, Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers Volume 1, BatB, Aladdin, Mulan, Atlantis, Brother Bear, Peter Pan, and Home on the Range among the movies next to the TV. In front of the movies is my CD player with Classic Disney, Volume II inside of it. Leftover College Program collateral is lying in front of my dresser, next to my box of scrapbooking materials and CP pictures.

Sitting on my desk is a slip of paper with the phone numbers of Disneyland and WDW mail order, a pair of Mickey Mouse earrings, the soundtrack to Tarzan the musical, and my glasses in a Winnie the Pooh glasses case. The desktop wallpaper on my computer is a picture of Sleeping Beauty Castle. Above my desk, on the wall, I have an Aladdin poster advertising the release of the DVD, next to some postcards from WDW: one of a ghostly image of Cinderella Castle rising from a Florida swampland as a ghostly Walt Disney surveys the swampland, one of Mickey Mouse peering over a desk watching Walt draw him, one of Peter Pan and the Darlings flying over London, and one of Lilo and Stitch.

I threw a Figment sweatshirt on as a jacket after I got dressed, fastened my Disneyland watch around my wrist, threw my Mickey Mouse wallet in my bookbag, and went to class. I shut the door to my bedroom...on the front of the door is a drawing my friend Dave did for me of Jasmine, Belle, Ariel, and Aurora. My first class is University Singers; took notes in the music using the Cinderella pencil I keep in my folder.

Now, I think I'm going to start working on my first speech for Public Speaking, which will be about The Little Mermaid.

So it changed your life just a little, huh? Laughing

Ariellen · Scourge of the Desert Joined: 04 May 2005 Posts: 708

Little bit, yeah. It's at least got a minor presence in my life.
