on that boring afternoon

In that boring afternoon, I didn't even have the strength to watch a suspense drama. I just wanted to watch some relaxing and beautiful stories to adjust my mood, so as to perfectly welcome the upcoming Chinese New Year. So I was attracted by this very DISNEY-style poster and returned to the embrace of 2D again.
In fact, in the process of watching the film, it is more isolated from the plot. The one who watched "The Lion King" with his cousins ​​on a hungry stomach on a certain day, the one who talked about "Mulan" with his classmates on the way home, and earlier and earlier, was held in his mother's arms and listened to "Snow White" of the past. Large sections of memories are constantly recalled between those beautiful melodies. In the smooth story, I was like a hypnotized person, and the warmth and beauty in the deepest memories came out again and again.
At the end of the year when the temperature fluctuates, Mayan prophecies and political turmoil, it is like watching such a simple, relaxing, warm and pure story, holding a cup of hot tea and recalling the beauty of the past. A boring afternoon turned into another page of shining memories.
The plot is actually quite simple. When that humble and ordinary she met him as a prince. The ending is also a big reunion that can be guessed with closed eyes. But the little moving, the little sadness, and the little twists and turns in the process made me fascinated. I like the simple crocodile, the persistent firefly, and the young lady. Oh, maybe what I like is not the movie, but the simplicity of the movie. As long as you have a dream, you can achieve it, as long as you recognize your heart, you can be together, and as long as you are kind and brave, you can have a perfect ending. It would be great if the reality was simply "as long as..."
Maybe because I haven't grown up yet, maybe because I'm still living in a dream, so I can still be moved by such a story without a 3D mirror.

The Princess and the Frog quotes

  • [to his voodoo "friends", which resemble masks]

    Dr. Facilier: Friends, I know I'm in hock to y'all pretty deep already, but it seems our little froggy prince lost his way. And I need your generous assistance getting him back.

    [the heads glare]

    Dr. Facilier: [laughs nervously] I hear you. Now, what's in it for you? Well, as soon as I dispose of "Big Daddy" La Bouff, then I'm gonna run this town. I'll have the entire city of New Orleans in the palm of my hand. And you'll have all the wayward souls your dark little hearts desire. You all love that, don't you? So, we got ourselves a deal?

    [the heads contemplate for a moment, then release shadow spirits into the room]

    Dr. Facilier: [laughs] NOW we're cookin'! We're gonna find ourselves a frog. Search everywhere, the bayou, the quarter... bring him to me alive. I need his heart pumping... for now.

  • Prince Naveen: Lawrence! Glad to see you're finally getting into the music. Do you get my joke? Because your head is, it's in the tuba.
