nostalgia, Disney channel style

By Jo

Disney is currently showing the “classic” film Aladdin. (Am I really old enough that movies from my lifetime can be considered classics? That’s not to say I don’t agree…)

I’m obviously watching it, and getting the most wonderful sense of nostalgia for (of all things) summer camp. I can remember singing the songs while popsicle juice dripped down my fingers. Especially the part in the One Jump Ahead song, Aladdin sings “I steal only what I can’t afford” and they’d we’d yell out ‘and that’s everything!’

Then sophomore year (of college, don’t judge) the Bee and I used to sing A Whole New World to each other, or just randomly IM each other the phrase ‘every moment red letter.’

Seriously though, this is such a good movie. They keep tigers and tiny monkeys as pets!
