mitchy at 11:35am on 04/08/2010 under 30 days of movies meme4. First movie you remember seeing at the cinema as a child?
I remember being totally and utterly terrified by the Witch/Wicked Queen in Snow White to the point my Mom had to take me outside. I seem to recall hiding behind the seats a fair bit and peeking nervously over the top :D I couldn't have been more than 4 or 5? *checks* OK, it was re-released in 1975, so I was six. Hmf. Clearly I was a wussy kid :)
Another early movie I remember is seeing Winnie The Pooh and Tigger Too with my friend Rosalyn Knott. It wasn't a full movie though, so it was bundled with a live action movie, which meant we had to sit through "Island at the Top of the World"*. Not exactly a movie to enthrall two six/seven year olds :P I think we were fairly well behaved but man, it seemed to last forever! It says something as to the level of trauma that I can remember what movie it was to this day, even though I've never seen it since! Winnie the Pooh almost made up for it though. "Ooh the wonderful thing about Tiggers is I'm the only one! *bounce-bounce*"
One of my very favourite early movie memories though is seeing Robin Hood (Disney's animated version) with my Mum. Watching it now, it's dated rather badly but it tickled our funny bones back then. In fact, it made Mum laugh so hard (it was the bit where Sir Hiss is sleeping at the end of Prince John's bed and his tongue keeps tickling Prince John's feet) that I actually disowned her and moved several seats away :D She was enjoying the movie more than the kids in the cinema!! We used to laugh about that a lot and when RH came out on video finally, we pounced on it. We were a little disappointed, it just wasn't as funny as we remembered it. But we had the memory of it anyway :)
* - just poked imdb and looked this movie up, mostly to make sure I really WAS remembering it correctly. And guess what? The screenplay was written by Joss Whedon's grandfather, John Whedon. That family owes me for movie trauma inflicted :P
