Marathon Weekend 2024

SAFD: Winnie the Pooh!

 

[Blue Caterpillar]

SAFD; Hercules!

 

[MissLiss279]

SAFD: Mulan - definitely hard to choose.

 

[Where'sPiglet?]

I think I'll need to rewatch them all to answer. Please do this SAFD again in the 2025 thread.

 

[Scootin'By]

SAFD - This is really hard!! I can only choose one?!

Hmmm ....

It has taken me so long to write just this so far - I feel like the sloth in ....

That's it. Zootopia!!

......

Or Lilo and Stitch. Darn darn darn. Come back to me tomorrow!

 

[Mr_Incr3dible]

SAFD: The Incredibles. I love the combination of superheros and the James Bond references.
Plus I can relate to Bob Parr's life in the workplace. Among other things, at one time, I literally had a building pillar occupying part of my cube.

I went for a run this afternoon. The Morton's neuroma has been behaving, so I thought I'd give the Hokas the afternoon off and try a run with my nearly new Waveriders that I had bought right before I needed the Hokas.
In what was supposed to be a fairly easy run, I was feeling pretty good at the 4 mile mark and turned it up a bit and wound up doing 6.2 miles in just under 63 minutes. Cool. Near perfect (for me) temps in the lower 60's and the relative flatness of the greenway were no doubt a big factor.

Gotta stay on it for Goofy.

SAFD: Robin Hood, if for no other reason than a snake crossing his arms

I always found this extremely impressive too

 

[Zutroy]

SAFD: My favorite Disney animated movie is the story of a young boy born with a deformity, raised by a single mother. When she is wrongfully incarcerated, he is shunned by the only family he has, turns to alcohol for solace, and goes on a hallucinatory bender. After befriending a group of marginalized individuals, he discovers the strength to exact revenge on those who wronged him and destroys the institution that oppressed him. I’m talking about Dumbo of course.

SAFD: Okay, I’m excluding anything Pixar to make things a little easier… but still: OOF! This is a hard lift! I’ve got it down to Jungle Book, The Emperor’s New Groove, or Lilo & Stitch…

I think I have to give it to Jungle Book. For the soundtrack, if nothing else. The older grades in my elementary school put on a stage production of it when I was little and I sang some of those songs for weeks after! That may have been the start of a lifetime love of jazz and swing.

I do need to give a special mention to The Fox & The Hound, though. I can’t watch it anymore: it’s too painful. But that pain is also why I love the movie so very much. Right in the feelz.

Emperor's New Groove is always a good one. When I have to do a long run on the treadmill, that's the movie I go to first.

 

[Herding_Cats]

I watched Emperor's New Groove for the first time last week (or maybe 2 weeks ago?) while on the treadmill because of how much chatter it would get every time we talked about movies in here. And now I understand why people like it so much.

 

[Marathongirl30]

I have to go with Frozen, but as with everyone else…..this was TOUGH!! In fact, this was harder than running the Dopey Challenge!!

 

[Let's Get Kronk]

SAFD: Based on pure nostalgia and having re-watched it a few weeks ago and remembering just how much I love it: The Sword in the Stone.

This was a tough call, especially given my handle on this page. (Don't hate me Kronk!)

 

[RuntheMouse]

SAFD: 101 Dalmatians!

 

[The Expert]

SAFD: Literally changed my mind with every post I read here. Eliminating Pixar to make it slightly easier, but I have to settle on Hercules.

Hello everyone, I just logged in to my RunDisney and see that I can purchase a Spirit Jersey, but they add a Platform service fee. Should I buy it now? or are the spirit jerseys usually available?

Last year I was able to get one when I went the expo Thursday afternoon. As much as I hate the fee, I went ahead and paid it as I don't want to risk it. (I dont think I'll make till Friday this year). When can you attend the expo?

 

[nekonekoneko]

Priceline is having a decent sale on rental cars. I'm now down to about $400 for a standard SUV. Smaller cars are cheaper!

SAFD: I've been thinking a lot about this week's question, and I've decided I hate this question but if I'm forced to pick a favourite, I'll pick a Goofy Movie.
