A-to-Z Challenge (2015 edition): A is for Aladdin

A-TO-Z CHALLENGE:
DAY ONE


Last year I missed out on the A TO Z Challenge because I found out about it halfway through April--so WAY too late to join. But this year I had planned to join up, only without a clue as to what to actually make my theme for my first ever Challenge.

I know you can sorta freestyle these posts (so long as Day 1 corresponds to a topic starting with A, Day 2 with B and so on...) but I really like to keep things organized, or at least as organized as I can keep them.

In the end I chose a movie theme, because I figured I might as well watch movies and have fun reviewing them. WARNING: my reviews will be short and amateurish. I'll just give it a rating and explain why or why I don't like it.

Keeping this post short, I chose Disney's Aladdin for Day One.


I've never watched the movie and I bought it last year on a whim, only to finally get around to it and watch it. :) See? Already something good coming out of this challenge.

I liked Aladdin.  The music, the plot, and the characters were interesting. I love Disney songs--I don't really think they can ever go wrong there. And the plot had an appropriate pace, didn't really slog through randomness, and I actually enjoyed the conclusion--mostly cause I didn't see it coming. And the characters, well, what was there not to love with the Magic Carpet and the Genie... Robin Williams is still making me smile from beyond.

  2. Hanna, Thanks for stopping by at HSD. I like Disney songs and Disney movies. Aladdin was the perfect cartoon vehicle for the late RW. I miss him too.
