I used to rent TMAALL every weekend with my childhood friend. In fact, if you asked the nice lady who worked at the Red Giraffe store near my house, I know she'd remember us. We used to call the store every Friday afternoon to make sure they had copies of TMAALL, The Little Mermaid, and The Witches. Then we'd watch them and create plays about the Persian Gulf war, usually ending in my friend as Dan Rather narrating my heroic death after killing Saddam. (Even then, readers. Even then.)
If you haven't seen any of these films, go right now and download them. TMAALL is where I learned the phrase "Fish or cut bait," which I say all the time.
My two requests for the filmmakers is 1) that they put Miss Lomax in the sequal. I didn't get anything she said back then, but when I watched it in college I laughed my ass off. Also I saw her in a play last year and she looked exactly the same:
My other request is that they allow Tom Selleck to maintain his 'stache. And that Ted Danson have a more pivotal role. He is underrated.
And one more request, actually: if the three dads don't get to rap a lullaby, I will boycott.

By the time I came onto the scene you were renting Speed or any other gawd awful movie with Keanu Reeves.
Now that I think about it, I don't think I ever remember you blogging about Keanu. Did I just spill the beans on your grade school obsession of Keanu Reeves? That you were responsible for half of the box office revenue for "A Walk in the Clouds?" That you actually rented Johnny Mneumowhateveritwascalled?
On a side note, I miss the old Red Girrafe. They demolished that end of Gardiner Lane Shopping Center and built a brand new Staples and Heine Brothers (with a drive through). I also remember there was a room in that video store that I wasnt allowed to go into and I didn't get why at the time. I get it now.
Also, do you remember that before it was Red Giraffe it was Premier Video? I remember that. We'd rent a movie and then get coffee at the Hawley Cooke before we really knew what caffeine was. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
I saw that play with you...and yes, she did look exactly the same.
