Everyone is trying to get rid of them, but it seems like you already have all the good ones.

She didn't get them from a thrift store in So Cal did she? Hehe.

Yeah, he uses it, too. We have many of the Disney titles, but our most played is the original Land Before Time. Oh goodness. My oldest loved the heck out of that movie. I remember evenings when I was trying to nurse the littlest to sleep and he'd ask to watch a movie and he'd just slide that one in and by the time the baby was out, so was he. He's a big fan of Little Foot.Lisa@goodknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369116016442006425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-553748830358173771.post-69211963525678049752010-05-16T23:04:17.643-05:002010-05-16T23:04:17.643-05:00LOL! so funny. i was totally NOT into disney movie...LOL! so funny. i was totally NOT into disney movies when i was a kid. i actually didn't care for cartoons much period. but my mom does have a few select disney movies also on VHS that she picked up over the years (after we were grown). i'm not sure if they even still have a VCR or not! anyway, i will be seeing MANY of the disney movies for the first time when we watch some with macy! :)Brandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16015930019839559158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-553748830358173771.post-80843432875985806602010-05-16T23:04:17.642-05:002010-05-16T23:04:17.642-05:00Tia, I was so happy to read what you had to say ab...Tia, I was so happy to read what you had to say about the attitude in animation. My kids usually only watch PBS (Sesame Street)and Noggin. Sometimes they are allowed to watch Nick Jr but we don't allow Cartoon Network and nothing over G for the little ones.<br />I don't think it's right to let kids watch shows that are subversive & aimed at adults. <br />Why not let kids just be kids? <br />*gets off soapbox* <br />Our kids had a tv/dvd & 3 game systems in their room (which they are only allowed to play on weekends for 1 hr intervals) but they got destroyed. I haven't learned the trick to keeping electronics safe in a house full of wild animals....I mean kids :)Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05590025935266741624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-553748830358173771.post-30341005659350544172010-05-16T23:02:23.828-05:002010-05-16T23:02:23.828-05:00haha.

We got some as gifts, as hand me downs, OR our big older style TV for $30 on craigslist(I love craigslist, have gotten so much from there for the house). That is so great about getting all those movies to watch. Yay!! :) We got netflix about a year ago though, which we like and we have the 8.99/mo one.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14172014686424638479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-553748830358173771.post-22869500672077894102010-05-16T22:49:06.617-05:002010-05-16T22:49:06.617-05:00VHS's are quite handy:)

Who cares if they are VHS, I actually wanted to get a VCR the other day because they have a much better selection of movies at the library in VHS! If only I could get my hands on all of the tapes we had during my childhood! My kids already attempt to destroy DVDs (actually just the boy. lol.)I couldn't imagine a TV in their reach! I know all of the songs too!Julie has even memorized a few too! She LOVES Mermaid!!! I seriously love Disney as much as my kiddos do *maybe even more!* I would TOTALLY sing a Marry Poppins with you!
