There's Something We Need to Discuss.

And that thing is movies. But not just any movies, not your favourite movies (and I know you all love Twilight, heaven forbid I know why.), and not ones you hate. What we need to talk about today are children's movies.

I few days ago, my beloved sister and I saw 'Up'. I think it is fabulous, please go see it. I do NOT, however, think it's fair that they attempt to make you sympathize with pixels. And by 'attempt', I mean, 'Succeed unfairly. Go home'.

Wow, my wit is off today.

Anyway, as I sit there holding back my tears, I realize how truly pathetic we are, being manipulated by computer generated characters. I mean... REALLY? Really, Disney/Pixar? Not fair! Even your stupid short film a the beginning had me bawling! Are you kidding me?!

Kids don't realize some of the deeper issues that the characters in the screen are dealing with. It's so sad. I even cried when I saw the first Pokemon movie last year for the first time (I know, I was a little late into the Poke-scene. Gimme a break, my parents actually had RULES when I was a kid!). It was horrible, seeing their struggles, then seeing them overcome then, then seeing them HAVE MORE, then watching the prominent end.

THE STRUGGLES OF A MILLION STUPID PIXELS. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

Well, that's all for now.

Haha, it's okay Jenna. Even my boyfriend got a little teary watching Up.

I also cried when I watched the first Pokemon movie. xD

It is unfair, but hopefully they'll remember it later in life and rewatch it, and then they'll understand, right? It seems to happen fairly often :)

I always watch my old VHS Disney movies and stuff and walk away teary eyed. It gives me hope for the future.
