Always and forever, Sleeping Beauty will be my favourite Disney movie. From a purely artistic stand point, I avidly maintain that it’s the most beautifully animated film of all time. Forget 3-D, real-D, and all of these fancy-smancy computer-generated graphics. While quite remarkable at what that technology can achieve, they’re more for spectacle and a means to an end. The traditional gouache and watercolour painted slides of the Disney from an era long ago… that’s what I hold in my heart. They’re animation at its most astonishing. Each individual piece is a work of art in itself, all comprising a visually breathtaking story from start to finish.

By nature, I’m a very festive person. I love the holidays. All of them, not just Christmas. Yup, I’m that person that wanders around in a state of giddiness for three weeks pre-holiday, and on the actual day, dresses up with a silly costume. As I type this, I’m wearing my light-up reindeer antlers. Totally dorky, but I love them. I love Christmas! I love pretty much everything about it! Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes. Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes. Silver white winters that melt into springs. These are a few of my favorite things. I may not be quite as eloquent about it as Julie Andrews, but these are my favourite things about Christmas.
