I know I'm letting myself in for it by replying to a thread address to "da layteez", whatever that is
but I actually might be able to offer some vaguely useful advice here. My Mum and sister are both absolutely obsessed with Disney and try to get to the resort in Paris two or three times a year. My parents also usually go to either the Florida or California park once a year. This is hardly pertinent to my 63-year-old mother but my sister grew up with a permanent interest in the Disney movies and especially all the female characters, and is nonetheless a very intelligent, well-adjusted young woman with no preconceptions about some Prince Charming sweeping her off her feet and taking her to live in a magical land full of talking animals and blue genies with annoying American personalities. Indeed she is the breadwinner in her household and her interest in getting married and having kids is as a result of our parents' ridiculously successful marriage rather than anything Uncle Walt has instilled in her.

Also, Mulan had to fight for what she achieved in her life, so there.

Thanks for the insight.
I must point out that my own child is more interested in Nemo than Beuty and the fucking Beast - for now, at any rate.

Well you can't go far wrong with the Pixar
They're generally on fairly sturdy moral ground. And they're CUTE

She can pronounce 'anemone', 'stethoscope' and 'triceratops' perfectly*
and her mother loves science so that may be where she ends up.

However seeing her playing her new drumkit at 7am today, I shall be gutted if she's not the next Keith Moon (sans crippling depression and addiction problems, I hope).

*not bad for 2 and a half, I reckon.

All I wish for, Monty
Is for her to be happy, healthy, and be able to spell 'Beauty'.

And 'lose'.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 9:19, Reply)

I don't get it

( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 9:23, Reply)

That'll be the chins - they're offputting.

Actually I didn't notice I'd misspelled beauty, I just hate people putting 'loose' when they mean 'lose'.

I have to forgive her though because she has really nice tits

I fucking love Finding Nemo

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 9:09, Reply)

Not their best work, imho
Ratatouille is. Also The Incredibles, Wall-E, Up, Monsters Inc and Toy Story 1 & 2 (haven't seen 3, to my eternal shame) are better than Nemo, all of which goes to show how bloody good Pixar are.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 9:14, Reply)

I've not seen Ratatouille, Wall-E or Toy Story 3
The Incredibles is my favourite one of them, but Up is absolutely superb as well.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 9:21, Reply)

First ten minutes of Up made me cry
and I feel absolutely no shame admitting to this in a public forum

Ratatouille is surprisingly good
and Toy Story 3 is very good too. I'd forgotten how good the first two were before I saw it.

Not watched Wall-E yet, but may do so this weekend
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 9:26, Reply)

Wall.e is probably the best one imo.

my mrs watched it the other day while off work ill and really enjoyed it
I've had it sat on my computer for over a year and not got round to watching it.

have you seen 9?
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 9:40, Reply)

yes, I love it!
took me a couple of watches to really appreciate it but it's brilliant.
( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 9:55, Reply)

You're wrong it's absolutely terrible.
The original short on which it is based was fantastic, but it has been completely butchered. The characters were given voices, which watered down the intruigue into them, and the best thing about them was little contraptions, which were almost non existant in the full length.
(TheColonel, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 11:06, Reply)

Ratatouille is brilliant because it's just so joyful
I couldn't stop smiling all the way through it. The last film that did that to me was Amelie, both of which are set in Paris. Makes no sense, I've been to Paris and it's full of French people
