My History With Disney

During my first childhood years, I was the biggest fan of Mickey Mouse in the entire world! I remember that on my first (technically the first was inside my mother) trip to Disney World when I was two my parents bought me the biggest Mickey Mouse plush! I grew most of my childhood with Mickey, but eventually he got old and damaged. I cried for weeks his funeral. I can still remember those sad days.

It would be a long time before I made my next trip to Disney World, but it was only the beginning of my story with Disney.

I watched most Walt Disney animated movies while growing up, but the one I can remember Inside Out is Finding Nemo. Some might argue that Disney Pixar movies are not technically Disney... Well, for me they are, and Finding Nemo is my favorite! Now, the first time I watched Nemo was at the age of six. My godmother loves to tell the story of how I was sitting in her bedroom and I couldn't stop crying, and whenever I went to her house, she would play Nemo again and again just to watch me cry! (more of a cute and not cruel kind of way) I watched Finding Nemo more times than those I can count.

Whenever I tell my friends this story, they would laugh at me. ¨Who cries watching Nemo,¨ they would say in a sarcastic tone. Well, it was not long before KARMA! Before I watched them crying while we watched Nemo. WAIT! They were not seven, they were seventeen! HA, at least I had a valid excuse!

The reason why we decided to watch Finding Nemo was not because Finding Dory was being released in theaters, but because one of our friends had never seen any Disney (not even Pixar) animated movie before! I know, that is like living your entire childhood without being a child! So, we created a five-day marathon in order to try to give our friend some sort of late childhood. Clearly, one entire day was dedicated to Pixar movies because they are equally AMAZING!
