Escape to Witch Mountain

This was my first time watching this movie in its entirety. I have watched the Disney Channel 90's version quite a few times in my youth so I thought they were the same but there were a lot of differences. In this one, the twins already knew each other and grew up together with a family before being orphaned and sent to live at an orphanage. People just seem to accept that these kids have special powers pretty easily in this movie. 

Can of Worms

Can of Worms is one of the stranger DCOMs. I struggled getting through this one.

The boy decides he doesn't want to live on Earth anymore because he is a weirdo and this makes all the aliens believe that they can come invade Earth now and it is just very strange. And that girl is from Parenthood. I'm glad I didn't see this when I was younger because I wouldn't have been able to sleep. 

Bedtime Stories

This week we watched Bedtime Stories. I have to say this is one of my favorite Adam Sandler movies after 2000. It's cute. He tells the kids stories and finds out that the part of the story the kids tell comes true the next day. 

The kid has been walking around since we watched this movie saying "for freeeeee?". Hilarious. 

Atlantis: Milo's Return

I think they meant to make a TV series out of this, but instead put three episodes into a sequel and moved on and away from Atlantis after it didn't do well in the box office. 

If these stories were part of a TV series, we might watch it. But it was a randomly pieced sequel that didn't make much sense to the story overall. I found it hard to follow. Not much else to say about it!

We took inspiration by going on our own little adventure into the woods to take some pictures of the Halloween costume we have picked out this year. The kid also dressed up as Harry Potter and a Ghostbuster for some parades in the area. 

Atlantis: The Lost Empire

This time around we watched Atlantis: the Lost Empire. This movie is seriously underrated as far as Disney Animations go. I feel like when this came out, people were too focused on new things like chat rooms and getting their first cell phones before me. Or maybe I'm thinking that because I was just starting my teen years and those things seemed important to me instead of going out to see a Disney movie (you know how teens are...). 

I really liked that this was more of a science fiction and the animation was interesting and different. There were some funny characters, but there was also a lot of people dying in this movie. With Disney animations, I typically expect one or two key characters to go, but this one had lots of people dying here and there. I might be a little traumatized. 

We took inspiration from the glowing crystal and had a glow stick party with the kid's cousins. We played glow stick tag and what time is it Mr. Fox and just ran around with them in the dark by a fire pit. Fun times.
