Okay, so I was at Disneyland yesterday, and I saw Fantasmic! there. (By the way, if you see ANY show at Disneyland, see Fantasmic!, because it is the most glorious show every to cross this earth. The Maleficent Dragon is beautiful...simply beautiful...)
Anyway, so I was watching it, and it's supposed to take place in Mickey's imagination. So at first everything's happy and good, like Belle, Snow White, and Ariel are happy with their princes, and there's an awesome scene on the Columbia with Peter Pan and Captain Hook. Then the Queen from Snow White comes and wants to wreck everything. So she teams up with Chernabog, Ursula, and Maleficent, and they all try to take down Mickey, but Mickey takes down Dragon Maleficent and then all the Disney Characters celebrate on the Mark Twain with Steamboat Willie Mickey at the wheel.
Anyway, the point I'm trying to get across is this: A lot of people ask me why I still love Disney so much. And the main reason is this: Something beautiful happens when Mickey takes his vorpal blade in hand. And, at the very end, when the heroes celebrate, Mickey has triumphed, and good has triumphed over evil, something outrageously right has happened. It's not real life, sure, and maybe there's no such thing as magic, but, in the moment, you don't think about that. In the moment, you can believe in dragons and pixie dust.
Anyway, that's why I still love Disney. I know that was a bit random, but I thought I should share that.
