And Hollywood\u2019s El Capitan Theatre is giving us just that opportunity for the next month or so. Since I\u2019m the biggest fan of \u201chappily ever after”s, I haven\u2019t been this excited about anything in quite awhile. [Note: The photo of the theatre’s marquee at the top of this page is by Karen Salkin.]<\/p>\n
The five movies we\u2019ll have the opportunity to see are The Little Mermaid<\/em>, (whose run has already begun,) followed by the one-night-only special screening of Sleeping Beauty<\/em>, and then Beauty and the Beast<\/em>, my fave Lady and the Tramp<\/em>, and finishing up with Cinderella<\/em>, which is the one of the group that I have never seen on a big screen! I can\u2019t wait to see what animation was like in 1950<\/em>! Can you see why I\u2019m jumping out of my skin for this El Capitan \u201cThrowback\u201d series???<\/p>\n Photo courtesy of \u00a9Disney.<\/p><\/div>\n Mr. X is known for giving me the most incredible and thoughtful holiday gifts always<\/em>, but one year was extra-special.\u00a0 That one Christmas, he gave me a\u00a0credit card<\/em>, (with my<\/em> name but his<\/em> card number, meaning that he would be paying all the bills I rang-up on it!) And he also gave me a VHS of Disney\u2019s\u00a0Lady and the Tramp<\/em>.\u00a0 And even though my friend Sherry, in her thick Brooklyn accent, deemed the credit card to be \u201clike an engagement right, only bettah!!!,\u201d the one that made me cry my guts out (from happiness) was, of course,\u00a0Lady and the Tramp<\/em>!\u00a0 (Have you\u00a0met\u00a0<\/em>me???)<\/p>\n We are not a mushy couple at all, so therefore, we rarely celebrate Valentine\u2019s Day.\u00a0 But for one of the very few that we did, it was a trip to the El Capitan to see, of course, that romantic film.\u00a0 And the theatre made it sooo special, which I\u2019m assuming they will do again this go-round.\u00a0 Before the movie, Mickey and Minnie waltzed for us, and then showered the assemblage with red-and-pink heart confetti!\u00a0 Mr. X and I followed the screening with a sundae at the soda fountain next door, (which I totally know should have been spaghetti and meatballs, to emulate what Lady and Tramp did,) and it was truly the best Valentine\u2019s Day we\u2019ve ever had!<\/p>\n Photo courtesy of \u00a9Disney.<\/p><\/div>\n I can\u2019t wait to re-live that experience again this year, and make new memories with the other four Disney classics.<\/p>\n But, out of all<\/em> of those oldies-but-goodies, the scene I absolutely cannot wait to see is the one in which the fairies vie to turn Aurora\u2019s gown into the colors they each want, and it winds-up being half blue and half pink! I actually got goosebumps telling Mr. X about that part just now. And Malificent has got<\/em> to be seen on the El Capitan screen! So I hope to see you all there for Sleeping Beauty<\/em>.<\/p>\n Actually, I hope that we all make it to all five<\/em> features! After all the heavy-duty films I\u2019ve been viewing in order to fairly vote for the Screen Actors Guild awards this week, I really need to see some happy endings right about now. And now one does that<\/em> better than Disney. And no one does Disney<\/em> better than the El Capitan!<\/p>\n For more info on it all, (including the dates and times of the character Meet-and Greets, and other special treats,) please go to www.elcapitantheatre.com<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cHAPPILY EVER AFTER\u201d SERIES OF DISNEY CLASSICS AT THE EL CAPITAN! As not only a princess myself, but also the proud owner of several classic Disney animated films, (probably on tape, even more than DVD!,) I can still say that they all need to be seen on an actual theatre screen, with a great sound<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>
