Viewing Notes

It still lights a fire in my cold, dead heart. It’s just so damned sweet, but has a touch of the scary that makes some of the more landmark kids’ movies effective.

Watching it so many times means that I know every beat before it’s coming, but that’s okay; I’m still smiling every time I see it.
