A mezzanine seat to see the flickers
Every year, my mom, my sister and I go to see a movie on the Friday after Thanksgiving. When we first started this tradition, the theaters were almost deserted, but I think more and more people are taking advantage of the opportunity to get away from the Black Friday shopping insanity.
This year, our movie was Enchanted, where an animated Disney Princess accidentally finds herself in live-action form in New York City and has to deal with the problems of the non-fairy-tale world. Disney is a pretty safe Thanksgiving Friday choice for us, but after seeing Shrek 3 this morning, I wondered if Disney would be able to parody their own movies as well as Dreamworks has taken the Disney movies on. The approach is certainly more subtle than Dreamworks', but the final product was great. Here's a scene where, in proper Disney Princess style, Giselle invites all the "woodland creatures" of New York City to help her with the housework.
I expect most Disney movies to amuse me and make me smile, but this one actually made me laugh out loud, and at one point I was actually crying because I'd laughed so hard. So go see it!
