I hate all the princess merchandizing crap they make now! I thought it was bad when I was a kid, but it has gotten way worse. I actually hate licensed toys in general though, it seems like all kids do is act out the movies and they aren't being creative. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-purchased-any-disney-movies-for-your-lo#post-378284 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 23:36:10 +0000 pinkcupcake 378284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bought Cinderella on bluray today - couldn't resist!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-purchased-any-disney-movies-for-your-lo#post-377816 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 17:51:27 +0000 mjane 377816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Oh, yeah, I definitely remove my Scrooge hat for Pixar. Pretty lovely (and unobjectionable :)) stuff! I also have a total soft spot for Beauty and Beast, because Belle is so into books, but I don't know how I'll feel about showing it to my future kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-purchased-any-disney-movies-for-your-lo#post-377752 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 16:26:17 +0000 SugarplumsMom 377752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I hear the latest one (Brave) is pretty good, but I haven't seen it myself. </p> <p>I adore Pixar so for sure she'll have those, but I also like Disney. So far we only have Pixar movies and I'm looking forward to start a Disney collection as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-purchased-any-disney-movies-for-your-lo#post-377746 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 16:25:04 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 377746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet, he's still too young, but when the time comes I'm sure we'll get a few. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-purchased-any-disney-movies-for-your-lo#post-377733 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 16:18:20 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 377733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm collecting them even though she hardly gets any screen time yet. I love them :)</p> <p>Not that worried from a feminist standpoint, they're fine to have in the rotation with other movies and stories. That said, I'm not down with Disney Princess merchandising, but I do enjoy most of the movies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-purchased-any-disney-movies-for-your-lo#post-377710 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 16:00:58 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 377710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Tricycle: @mjane: I'll revisit in a few years... and I have fond Disney memories myself, so I'll check out the animal ones myself first.</p> <p>And I do love Pixar (which is Disney)... so not a total scrooge! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-purchased-any-disney-movies-for-your-lo#post-377599 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 14:27:28 +0000 mjane 377599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. jacks: no, I'm another scrooge right here with you. I do kind of like the old school animal ones like 101 Dalmatians and the Rescuers, though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-purchased-any-disney-movies-for-your-lo#post-377592 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 14:15:08 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 377592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I think maybe they've been getting a little better? According to this article, Pocahontas, Tiana and Mulan are pretty kick butt: <a href="http://www.nerve.com/entertainment/ranked/ranked-disney-princesses-from-least-to-most-feminist" rel="nofollow">http://www.nerve.com/entertainment/ranked/ranked-disney-princesses-from-least-to-most-feminist</a> </p> <p>Maybe you can just pretend Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella don't exist? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-purchased-any-disney-movies-for-your-lo#post-377549 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 13:16:30 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 377549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oooh, I'm in the total minority here, but I'm not a huge fan of the message that Disney sends to girls. We'll see... maybe in a few years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-purchased-any-disney-movies-for-your-lo#post-377545 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 13:12:21 +0000 Sophs Mama 377545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started collecting Disney DVDs a year or so before TTC. We now own every single Disney movie ever made.. haha. Plus childhood favourites of mine such as Thumbelina, All Dogs Go To Heaven and Feivel Goes West!</p> <p>Can't wait until our little one can enjoy them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-purchased-any-disney-movies-for-your-lo#post-377533 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 13:02:01 +0000 alayaya 377533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been collecting Disney dvds and bluerays for several years now. My husband always gets me a new one for Christmas, This year I asked for 101 Dalmatians or Aladdin. Last year he got me Beauty and the Beast.</p> <p>My hope is that by the time we have kids we will have a great collection of classics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-purchased-any-disney-movies-for-your-lo#post-377520 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 12:35:24 +0000 HabesBabe 377520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bought Cinderella on DVD/Blu-ray since it was just released. I'll prob wait until next year to buy more. Disney has an annual sale for Cast Members and Blu-rays are around $15. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-purchased-any-disney-movies-for-your-lo#post-377519 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 12:33:10 +0000 shopaholic 377519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a few DVDs that I bought for myself that I'm sure eventually LO will watch: mary poppins (one of the classics that @MamaMoose: mentioned only gets relased once in a long while, Lilo &amp; Stitch, and Finding Nemo.<br /> I've asked both sets of grandparents to be on the lookout for Chinese language versions of Disney movies when they go back to their respective home countries. I hope letting future LOs watch them in Mandarin &amp; Cantonese will encourage them to learn and speak more and be bilingual. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-purchased-any-disney-movies-for-your-lo#post-377501 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 12:14:39 +0000 Bao 377501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo is only 2 months but DH and I loved Disney DVD's when we were younger and since they can be pretty pricey we are going to start collecting some of our childhood favorites now, slowly. Beauty and the beast, Little mermaid, Lion King, Finding Nemo, Aladdin and Toy Story are a few we will start with :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-purchased-any-disney-movies-for-your-lo#post-326499 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 03:37:39 +0000 Sweet T 326499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have Beauty &amp; the Beast and The Lion King. I bought Beauty &amp; the Beast for myself because it's my favorite Disney movie and The Lion King because I found it for $15 on Black Friday (bluray/dvd combo). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-purchased-any-disney-movies-for-your-lo#post-326494 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 03:24:27 +0000 banana 326494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't purchase any but we got a bunch gifted from a cousin for his 1st birthday. He hasn't seen any of them though. We're trying to minimize TV time and movies are so long! And he would get mad if we ended the movie early. So we'll let him watch Mickey Mouseclubhouse or Sesame Street for 20 minutes a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-purchased-any-disney-movies-for-your-lo#post-326348 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 23:03:46 +0000 plantains 326348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a bunch on Blu-ray and DVD that I bought for myself because I live them, so I'll probably just keep adding to that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-purchased-any-disney-movies-for-your-lo#post-326323 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 22:48:22 +0000 pinkcupcake 326323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet since she's still so young (only 7 months). We have a good Disney collection but it's all VHS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-purchased-any-disney-movies-for-your-lo#post-325832 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 20:01:16 +0000 heffalump 325832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a couple that I had growing up. Ill wait till she wants them before buying more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-purchased-any-disney-movies-for-your-lo#post-325714 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 19:27:46 +0000 MamaMoose 325714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We already have a Disney collection that was started before LO was conceived. They only release the true classics every ten years or so (on a rotating schedule) so sometimes I'll just buy one if I happen to see it at Target or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-purchased-any-disney-movies-for-your-lo#post-325694 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 19:24:25 +0000 luckypenny 325694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. LO is too young but my MIL &amp; I were listening to a dismays classics CD with DD and it made me super nostalgic and excited for that time to come. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-purchased-any-disney-movies-for-your-lo#post-325674 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 19:19:41 +0000 SAHM0811 325674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't think we'd buy a lot, but once she turned around 3, the Disney phase started. DH buys a lot on his iPad for her... It's hard to think what popular Disney movie we don't have! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-purchased-any-disney-movies-for-your-lo#post-325561 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 18:59:58 +0000 prettylizy 325561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sure sooner or later we will. I'm trying to minimize screen time for her though so we haven't thought about it yet. Yesterday I was looking for some songs to sing to her and I youtubed some sesame street and she totally lit right up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-purchased-any-disney-movies-for-your-lo#post-325552 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 18:58:29 +0000 chopsuey 325552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved Cinderella growing up.<br /> Not sure we'll be purchasing actual DVDs for our LOs though.. </p> <p>We have a few movies downloaded on our Ipad currently. She hasn't shown much interest in them yet. </p>
