100 Movies, 100 Memories

Back when my mom owned a daycare, there was a period of time where me, my brother, and the daycare kids would watch "Shrek 2" EVERY SINGLE DAY. It got to that we could quote the lines along with the movie. Then when it was night, I'd be too wound up to sleep, and I'd jump on the bed singing "Livin' La Vida Loca." Yeah, I know. Dork patorl. But it kept me entertained.

I remember when I was about eight watching this movie with the family and eating mint chocolate chip ice cream. That's it.

My little brother and I were doing fine with this movie. Then, when the dog gets hits with the shovel by the moonshiner, we bawled and bawled through most of the rest of the movie. I think I got my brother started by crying a little, and pretty soon we were bawling our eyes out. So I guess it isn't a very good memory.

This actually refers to a "Beauty and the Beast" Sing-a-Long songs video ( had on VHS. Now, if I remember correctly, there's a scene where Gaston shoots a bird out of the sky and the little toady guy retrieves it. At the age of about five, that scene upset me so much that I hid the VHS tape in a chest upstairs, so didn't even have to think about the bird biting it. I don't know how my parents go off on me as wimpy as I was.
