Epic Win: The Little Mermaid

Jan. 8, 2010

Submitted by Marcy P, poor unfortunate soul.

I believe that most of us would consider this “classic” Disney. Most of us could, upon request, sing part of at least one song from this film. What’s that I hear? A request? Well, I don’t kno—”I wanna be where the people are, I wanna see, wanna see ‘em dancin’, walkin’ around on those—whad’ya call ‘em?—Oh. Feet.” It’s true, I opted for something other than “Under the Sea.” I’m unpredictable like that. This film helped rejuvenate the Disney animated film franchise, which had been faltering (both commercially and critically) through the ’80s. And to this day, every child I know owns and watches this movie repeatedly, each time like it’s the first time.

Epic Win: Swiss Family Robinson

Nov. 25, 2009

once upon a win

Submitted by Avrol, who once fashioned a telephone out of coconut and tiger hair.

This 1960 Disney movie had it all: Pirates, dangerous wildlife, family drama, booby traps, treehouses, and romance. It hit all the right notes, which perhaps explains why it was one of the most successful family films ever made. And for all of you wishing you could see this classic updated and brought back to the big screen, you’re in luck! A remake, slated for release in 2012, is currently in production. Start the betting now: Just how bad do you think Disney will mess it up?

Epic Win: Follow That Bird

Nov. 10, 2009

Submitted by L Denton, voiced by Frank Oz

Follow that Bird was the first Sesame Street film (and the better of the two, IMHO). One quote I remember from Big Bird: “Sesame Street is brought to you today by the letters W and B.” (get it?)

Epic Win: Hocus Pocus

Oct. 8, 2009

Submitted and Written by Joulia B

I will never understand why this movie wasn’t a HUGE HIT. It’s a classic. I never get tired of it. I had to buy this DVD for my movie collection.

Definitely underrated. This cast is a win: Bette Middler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy (voice of Peggy on King of the Hill).

Epic Win: A Christmas Story

Oct. 3, 2009

How much do I love A Christmas Story? Enough to have seriously considered buying a replica of the Leg Lamp.
