One way or another
Something will go wrong, I swear
Sammi and I are watching Tangled tonight and I'm enjoying it more the second time around. I've informed her "take it from your mumsy" is going to be our next catch phrase.
I love the back and forth between her exultation at being free when she finally sets foot in the grass, and defying her mother and her overwhelming guilt at doing so. It captures so perfectly the breaking free that is so inevitable, whether you're a kidnapped princess in a tower or not.
I love that Disney returned to the fairy tale genre, particularly another from the Brothers Grimm.
...with a few Disney variations. . . Pascal the chamelon definitely doesn't appear in the 1812 Grimm version, or the 1698 French version, or even the 10th century Persian version. But I bet you already knew that.
But then, we wouldn't have Maximus.
And that would make me very sad.
Flower, Gleam and Glow
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse, bring back what once was mine
Heal what has been hurt, change the fate's design
Save what has been lost, bring back what once was mine
What once was mine...
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything looks different
We watched this last night too...my first time. I loved it and I had a very real physiological reaction to her stepping her bare feet into the grass. And Maximus, reminded me so much of Emma!! Funny and hilarious but will leave you a bit bruised and beaten. I love that we were both watching it even though hundreds of miles apart.
