she was right on the money.
in my family we like lighthearted movies. entertainment not reality, thankyaverymuch. this drives my husband insane. but i can see enough reality in everyday life. when i sit down to watch something i want to be en-ter-tained.
as a kid i was the only one of my friends to have the disney channel. i can only imagine that at one point the cable company ran some kind of special. my parents are the frugalest of the frugal, and certainly not ones to really pay for
back in those days {i've always wanted to say that!!!} the disney channel showed all the classics: think jodi foster, kurt russell, hayley mills, annette funnicello....all the greats.
pollyanna was, still is, and is now one of my family's favorites. it. is. awesome.
not long ago, i referenced pollyanna. only to be received with blank stares from the masses. no one.....i repeat NO ONE.....had seen pollyanna.
go. watch it. today. like, right NOW. let your kids watch it. not only is it one seriously fantastic movie BUT it is a good depiction of the christian faith.
although this scene isn't the one i referenced (to the glazed eyes of the masses), but it's soooooo funny!!
if you haven't seen the movie i won't spill the beans. BUT the scene i'm talking about is so awesome. pollyanna confronts the minister, who was always taking orders from her aunt polly. he falls to his knees, begging for the Lord's forgiveness. it's wonderful.
that mr. disney. he knew what he was doing. wonder what he'd think now?
oh well. go watch pollyanna anyway. now. you can borrow my copy. if you promise to return it.
I swear we grew up next door to each other in a different land. I LOVE Pollyanna and that is my nickname at work :)
