Quick Summary~
Belle is not like most girls in her small provincial town. She’s smart and beautiful. One day, her dad goes into the forest and doesn’t return. She goes after him and what does she find but an enchanted castle with talking furniture and a ferocious beast! She agrees to switch places with her dad and slowly learns to love a beast. 
This movie was originally released in 1991 but was recently remade in 2017. It has a Christmas special made in1997 and a Broadway musical released in 1993. Here is the soundtrack for the musical below for your listening pleasure. My high school did this musical when I was a freshman and it was pretty good.
Comments while watching
  • Iconic music interlude
  • I love the stainglass aesthetic it’s refreshing considering how many movies at the time started with some sort of prologue 
  • Fun fact the Prince and Belle are the only ones who wear blue because they’re different 
  • I’m really disappointed we don’t get to see baby beast I think it’d be really cute
  • Contrasting fonts
  • Question followed by the answer
  • Some of the signs are in french
  • Except the book seller
  • Totally not checking her out 
  • I love Lefou
  • I hope your safety is on
  • Geeorgeous
  • Gaston has an I want song and an I am song
  • Rude
  • He doesn’t know what that means 
  • He can be all those things and not be interested 
Right on cue
  • And it’ll save your life later
  • Oh hey this background music is kinda in the musical 
  • Faded signs
  • In other renditions of the story I’ve read you have to be lost to find the castle
  • Time to run
  • I love how the music gets super intense 
  • You left your hat
  • Beasts under pressure in the architecture 
  • Metal conducts heat, Cogsworth
  • Oh no your cogs
  • Yes definitely in charge 
  • Spikey

  • His words make it sound like other people have come to laugh and stare or what his inner monologue sounds like
  • How did Belle not notice everyone setting up a wedding in her yard
  • Gross
  • Trying to put things between them
  • You left the door open 
  • Belle’s big I want song
  • Phillippe wouldn’t know he’s in this castle
He is very hospitable 
  • An act of love
  • Some frames has her hair a lil messy others not
  • Regretting his actions 
  • I think the Enchantress has a sense of humor 
  • Scary
  • Gaston’s I am song
  • So what job does Gaston have besides local hunter and hunk? Is it safe to assume this is his tavern? 
  • Yikes
  • Who bites in a wrestling match 
  • That’s leather, how sharp are your teeth? 
  • Ewww 
  • Lefou is a great hype man
  • I guess maurice doesn’t drink. Otherwise why would it be surprising he entered the tavern
  • The whole tavern hears this and thinks he’s an upstanding dude
  • Wardrobe heard her crying and didn’t do anything 
  • Did she drink any tea?
The food looks fabulous 
  • You were pretty rude
  • You look fluffy 
  • I like how Cogworth’s eyes lose color when he’s nervous 
  • Can Belle hear all of this? 
  • Do the servants need food? Where is it coming from?
  • It seems not all furniture is sentient. The beds, for example 
  • What a charmer 
  • What did you do with all the food from dinner 

  • I’d love to imagine if Belle had come to dinner and the staff sing Be Our Guest to break the tension
  • Forks do a lil kick
  • So many dishes
  • Best joke, Cogsworth 
  • Loyal knights
  • She’s very observant 
  • Also note none of the sculptures are sentient 
  • So many beast handles
  • I wonder if she’s heard about the prince the way she looks at the painting 
  • Poor furniture, I hope none of them were sentient 
  • Grumpy
  • He immediately knows he screwed up which is probably why he goes after her
How’d we get from fall to winter 
  • Brrrr
  • Poor Philippe 
  • Part of me wonders if time works differently 
  • Heard it from servants and Belle
  • Good thing you’re both stubborn 
  • Small rabbit head
  • There’s a song for this scene in the musical
  • Poor Lefou
  • Puppy
  • I loved the Beast’s library. 
  • Poor chip
  • Spoons aren’t made for Beast paws
  • It’d be so cute if when the bird goes into his paws his ears wiggled
  • He actually wears clothes now
  • Cogsworth doesn’t keep time his hands are more like a mustache
  • I kinda wish there was a scene of him cleaning his room
  • So pretty
The castle itself has gotten brighter with her presence 
  • I love the ballroom it’s so beautiful 
  • I wonder if he knew these dances or if he had to be taught
  • She’s happy, just misses her dad
  • Character growth from the beast
  • Why would you bring him back to the village and not the castle 
  • Who said this was the ultimate goodbye? 
  • Technically, she does but I guess they need a verbal confession 
  • Frostbite Lefou
  • Oh nooo I guess you’ll have to go back
  • Mob mentality is dangerous. These days we call it cancel culture
  • Why does Gaston look like he has dirt on his face 
  • The wife with her handkerchief out the window 
  • You all know that’s not true
  • Historically wrong
  • You don’t recognize your own invention?
  • Ouch
  • A bow and arrow may not be the best weapon Gaston 
  • Ah so Cogsworth is ex-military. 
Don’t yall recognize a trap
  • He has something to fight for
  • Lime green skies and lightning 
  • Nice try dummy
  • I bet Beast and Belle talked about Gaston at some point 
  • Act of mercy, he’s a changed man now
  • I’m surprised he didn’t walk Gaston out
  • Dying at 21….yikes
  • It was before the last petal fell
  • Don’t worry this magical transformation comes with standard issue healing spell
  • Imagine if this worked like an anime magical girl transformation 
  • Now it’s not weird
  • Wait did I miss Human Again? I don’t remember it being here
  • Also I’ve always thought Mrs. Potts and Belle’s dad would be cute together since we never see Mr. Potts

My Personal Conflict With Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

Today’s topic is Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. I hope you have your popcorn, jelly beans, and buttered toast all ready for this Friendsgiving!

  6. Final Thoughts

Quick Summary~
It’s
Thanksgiving and Charlie Brown yet again fails to kick the football. Peppermint Patty invites herself, Franklin, and Marcie over for Thanksgiving dinner at Charlie Brown’s house. Charlie Brown scrambles to put together a full meal last minute but then Charlie Brown’s grandma invites everyone to join them for Thanksgiving. 
How old are the Peanuts characters?So most of them are 4-8 depending on the comic you’re reading. Linus and Sally are supposed to be two years younger than everyone else. Apparently, the author of the Peanuts comics only loosely defined their ages. So if sometimes they sound 4 going on 54, now you know why. 
Who does Charlie Brown date?Peggy Jean. They dated in the ’90s. Ultimately, she breaks up with him though.

Comments while watching
  • And yet you’re going to do it 
  • Big honor indeed 
  • Yes she would 
  • Dude they have Christmas in Halloween 
  • Wait a couple of years
  • Peppermint patty is my favorite but she’s a menace 
  • Not wishy washy just passive
  • It’s called friendsgiving 
  • Dude
  • Gotta get Woodstock 
  • Casually squish your friend
  • Why does marcie call her sir
  • Are you feeding an army
  • Cute
  • Time to get festive 
  • Poor Woodstock 
  • He cooked it he can serve it however he wants 
  • Don’t you dare make Snoopy or Charlie feel bad
  • Call her out marcie 
  • No you gotta do it 
  • Grandmas feed everyone 
  • Where are your parents 
  • Oh wow 
  • 50’s humor
  • Food wasted
  • Meanwhile a real Thanksgiving feast
  • Pumpkin pie is the best part of Thanksgiving 

Why do you not like Charlie Brown Thanksgiving?
Snoopy put in all that work cooking the food and setting up the table for Friendsgiving and everyone gives him an earful for it! That’s not fair. Plus Peppermint Patty picks a fight with Charlie Brown for no reason. Girl, do you like him or not? 

Final Thoughts
Originally I was going to watch all of the Charlie Brown seasonal movies but I ran out of time. Let me know if you want me to add them!

    • Come spend Christmas with my new Annie 
    • What song is this
  3. Final Thoughts
Quick Summary~
Annie is an orphan in New York City with a locket from her parents. She’s constantly escaping in an attempt to reunite with them. For Christmas break, she gets to spend it with Mr. Warbucks billionaire philanthropist. He likes her so much, he decides to help her but she’s not ready. So he helps her try to find her parents. Unfortunately, it won’t be that easy…

Annie was originally a comic but now it’s at least 4 movies and a Broadway musical.
Comments while watching
  • Credits
  • Zoom to Hannigan’s orphanage 
  • Classic mean girls
  • She’s not very intimidating 
  • Maybe
  • Orphanage is in disrepair shows either a lack of money or how Hannigan runs this place. We love environmental storytelling.  
  • Boo
  • I love Mr. Bundles
  • When did she get in the laundry? She was clearly in the background 
  • This Sandy is apparently a golden retriever chow mix
  • This movie cuts “Dumb Dog” 
  • Why do we have this chase sequence 
  • Good hiding spot 
  • These kids are a menace
  • Little Girls already??
  • Her voice is really good 
  • Grace is here!
  • You had your own bed at the orphanage 
  • Choreography on point
  • That zoom into her smile 
Come spend Christmas with my new Annie 
  • They mentioned 48 states and AZ is the 48th
  • In NYC to the Broadway show to in NYC again 
  • Sandy’s back 
  • I’ve always been confused why Hannigan isn’t happy to get rid of Annie
  • Oh here’s Rooster and Lily
  • Sorry, Rooster looks like a pedo
  • Easy street
  • They said their mom’s in hell
  • Isn’t that confidential 
  • What keeps you in this job Hannigan? 
  • Her scarf broke from whacking it 
  • Warbucks backstory 
  • He may also need DNA samples 
  • Poor Warbucks 
  • If all they have are rags and brushes with hard bristles to clean the place the cleaning may not be the problem 
  • What’s wrong with smiling 
  • They weren’t bad you’re lazy 
  • I d i  o t
  • Poor Kirsten Chenoweth 
  • You’d really kill a kid
  • At least with radio they can’t see her
What song is this
  • Should have said that first because now it doesn’t make sense for Annie to refuse your offer 
  • Aww
  • What time is it??
  • Set them up Annie
  • We got Annie replaced with an instrumental reprise of “I Think I’m Going To Like It Here”
  • Putting “I Don’t Need Anything But You” here doesn’t make sense because Hannigan hasn’t finished her shenanigans yet
  • Grace you look lovely 
  • How do you not see that it’s Hannigan 
  • Almost walked out without Annie
  • Just saying they could have cut a different locket in half since they were so popular 
  • They almost left their papers they seemed sketch
  • Jeez they are even more sketch now
  • Yes actually 
  • Not much of a secret
  • Please don’t call him Daddy Warbucks
  • Reprise of “I Don’t Need Anything But You” 

Final Thoughts
Thank you for reading my take on Annie, I appreciate it. Comment below your favorite song. Personally, I’m a fan of “It’s a Hard Knock Life” because it’s a good work song.
