When You Wish Upon a Star

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you

Its really quite pathetic. I have just spent most of the morning crying over old Disney clips. I made the mistake of looking up 'Best moments of Disney' on YouTube before I went to work this morning. The music, the magic, everything! Beautiful! Gah, what it is to be a child!

Just those little moments, when bambi stumbles out of the cave looking for his mother, when Pocahontas runs after the ship taking John Smith back to England, when Ariel reaches out of her grotto for the 'World Above'. Walt Disney was just a complete genious.

I also went looking for a particular series of Disney photography I have seen recently, quite a good way to procrastinate a little bit. I was so happy when I found it! The Annie Leibovitz Dream Portraits. Not only are they Disney, but they are famous people in the performing arts industry, AND they are by Annie Leibovitz, one of the greatest photographers of all time! These images are completely and utterly beautiful.

Its quite amazing how sounds can ignite your memory. Just the songs playing in the Disney clips reminded me so much of Disneyland. Not the whole park, just one room (well hall). This hall was huge, and it was tucked away behind a shop, and down a little corrador. As soon as you entered it, your ears were filled with the soundtracks of Disney movies, and all over the dome shaped room were projections of different moments in the movies. It went chronologically through all of them. It was stunning. Truely magical.
