My Top 5 Disney Films

Today I will be teling my 5 favourite Walt Disney Picture films!
(the first 3 are my favourite from each gender)

1. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
 
This one is my favourite ever Disney film!
When I was younger I had the cassette tape and used to watch it everytime I went to my grandparents house (nearly everyday!).

"Magic Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?"

2. Mary Poppins

Even though the author of the book "Mary Poppins" (P. L. Travers) disliked the film, I really liked it!
The soundtrack is amazing and my personal favourite song was "Feed The Birds", which was sang beautifully by Julie Andrews.

"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!"

(if you're a fan of this movie, I would recommend watching "Saving Mr. Banks", that talks about the author of the book and the making of the film - Mary Poppins)

3. Tangled

A princess that doesn't need protection and a charming but not-prince (does that make sense?) make this movie (even though Max is probably is my favourite character). Also, can Eugene come cut my hair, I want to look has cute has Rapunzel :P!

"Frying pans... Who knew, right!"

4. The Little Mermaid

Another childhood classic of mine! I also watched this a lot.Now rewatching it i feel a bit weird out realizing Ariel was only 16.

"The human world... Is a mess."

5. Big Hero 6

This only came out last year but it really set his place in my top 5! I loved the story and really liked how it might have helped young children with grief. Of course it wasn't all about that, it was mostly about Baymax and his adorableness ahah!

"If you can dream it, you can do it."

So this was my top 5 of Disney films let me know if you liked it and if want me to do one of these for an other subject!

My Latest Reads | July 2015

On today's post I will be telling you a bit about the books I'vee recently read.

• Paper Towns

I've talked about the movie that is coming up soon (roughly two weeks from now) and on that same post I talked about being excited to read the book! It did not disapoint. It has some mixed reviews but I personally liked it. The story talks about Quentin and Margo and how you shouldn't think too much of a person, making them into a God, because they are just a person (don't judge a book by its cover). Of course is not only that, the story itself is the quest of Q following the clues to reach the girl he loves, Margo, once she disappears after one last night of mischief, only to find out he didn't know her at all.

"Margo loved mysteries so much, she became one."

• Eleanor and Park

 My first Rainbow Rowell novel (I am currently reading Fangirl), and it was beautiful! It tells the love the story of, well, Eleanor and Park, Eleanor being a curvy girl with curly red hair, and Park a half Asian kid who loves black clothes and comic books. That's what they bond over, comic books, and they have a beautiful but bumpy love story that felt real and continues until Eleanor's terrible family life catches up with her to the point where she can no longer ignore it.

"She never looked nice. She looked like art. And art isn't supposed to look nice; it's supposed to make you feel something."

• Girl Online

 I have been wanting to read this book for so long! (ironically, I got it the night Zoe announced that the paperback version, with the first two chapters of the sequel, was being released)
It talks about a blogger, Penny, and her holiday romance with rock-God-tastic Noah. It also talks about anxiety and hate on the internet which I think are very important subjects on today's day and age.

"And maybe one day when we realize that we all feel the same, we can all stop pretending to be something we're not."

I'm currently reading Fangirl and I'm sure I will read a lot more books by August (at least two more), so let me know if you liked this and if you'd like me to do another!
