A Magical Disney Recruitment for 2 UGA Ladies

[dgdramadawg]

It's that time again.

If you've ever read one of my threads before, you know I only post happy endings, so the two ladies in this thread have already got bids in hand and are no doubt still celebrating their new homes.

Coming up with themes for these threads is getting tougher with each recruitment each year, so you know I'm stretching here when I announce that this year's thread theme will be... Old-School Live-Action Disney Films!

I know. I know.

UGA has 17 houses:
The Rocketeer
Pollyanna
Swiss Family Robinson
The Parent Trap
Babes in Toyland
Summer Magic
The Three Lives of Thomasina
Flight of the Navigator
The Barefoot Executive
The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes
Candleshoe
Tron
Return to Oz
Newsies
Cool Runnings
Hocus Pocus
Remember the Titans

Names omitted from possible usage because they sounded mean: Darby O'Gill and the Little People, The Shaggy Dog, The Gnome Mobile, The Absent Minded Professor, The Ugly Daschund, The Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit, and Westward Ho Wagons. I mean, who would want to be the Westward Ho Wagons? I mean, I guess it's better than Operation Dumbo Drop... but everything's a better name for a sorority than Operation Dumbo Drop.

Place your bets on houses (and tell me which awesome old-school Disney live-action films I missed)!

The Apple Dumpling Gang

[IndianaSigKap]

Hocus Pocus is the best movie! I used to watch it with my younger cousins. I will root for it.

Summer Magic...wonderful film I'm voting for that hous.

[ZetaPhi708]

Here's a few other old school live action Disney films:

Escape to Witch Mountain
Return from Witch Mountain
The Black Hole
Bedknobs and Broomsticks ( live-action/animation mix )
Now you see him, Now you don't
The Strongest Man in the World
Freaky Friday ( the Jodie Foster/Barbera Harris version )
The Apple Dumpling Gang ( previously mentioned )
The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again
The Love Bug
Herbie Rides Again
Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo
Herbie Goes Bananas

and for the purposes of your thread topic for the PMN, I think I will root for TRON, the film that brought computer animation into a whole new level of filmmaking; love those lightcycles.

I love that movie so much that I couldn't include it because it would have to be DG. So much of my childhood is wrapped up in the watching and rewatching of Bedknobs and Broomsticks and Pete's Dragon.

I'm off to go type a very long round one post... it will be up later on!

[dgdramadawg]

Since both PNMs visited all 17 houses for round one, I will go house by house. It's always interesting to see how two girls can see the same houses very differently.

I'm naming my girls Jessica and Elizabeth. They are not twins, but that's what I'm naming them. Also deciding on Sweet Valley as a future thread theme.

THE ROCKETEER
Jessica totally loved this house. She felt very at home and had great conversations with everyone she met.
Elizabeth also loved this house. It had a homey feel that set her at ease instantly.

POLLYANNA

Ms. Dgdramadawg, I totally forgot about adding Pete's Dragon to my list also. I grew up during the 70s Disney era, so I was able to see that one in theaters, along with B & B....and just about all of those titles on my list. Also, look at your DVD of B&B, if the running time is 2hrs. 18-20 minutes, then you have the restored version, at least of what material they could find in their archives; IMHO, it is the better than the 1hr. 58 minute version. Read up on its various releases here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedknobs_and_Broomsticks

P.S. One of my former co-workers at the theater I work at is a DG.

[ZetaPhi708]

Ladies and Gentlemen, sorry for the thread side-swerve into a brief discussion of the history of Disney films. Please accept my apologizes; but it's the film theorist in me that motivated me to post a follow-up.

And I'm glad to see TRON still in the running....TRON has not reached its END OF LINE yet. LOL.

[Senusret I]

Fuck yeah, Return to Oz!

[dgdramadawg]

Jessica was so happy to receive her bid to....

DELTA GAMMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[happilyanchored]

Hi. So normally I don't post in recruitment threads but I'm just gonna say that I will be rooting for and hoping that Newsies is Delta Gamma because that is my absolute favorite movie of all time! Here's to hoping your PNMs seize the day

Also, Hocus Pocus is amazing too, so I'll include that as my second favorite to root for!

[AZTheta]

I've been waiting for dgdramadawg to resurface with her recruitment threads. YES!

[scrapcat]

Love the Computer wore Tennis Shoes I believe it was a very, very young Kurt Russell as the star! (that house gets my vote!)
