Rec | WE HAD 4 VHS TAPES I WATCHED OVER AND OVER

• Pocoyo (taught me about drawing, space and perspective). • Scooby Doo. I feel like this show in particular is really old school in terms of it having no lore behind it. It’s the same pattern for every episode and I think it’s kind of like a Time Machine of what used to be for children’s shows. • American Dragon: Jake Long. Used to watch a lot before going to school. The plot was so enthralling. • The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy. Loved the dark humor incorporated into it. • Phineas & Ferb. Catchy songs, a platypus and humans with weird heads. •The Powerpuff Girls. Need I say more? Movies: • Anastasia (1997). Kickstarted my obsession with the Romanovs. Lead me to google wayyyy to young what had happened to Anastasia in real life. That was bleak. • Old Barbie movies. My favorites were The Princess and the Pauper, Rapunzel, Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus. Used to watch these all the time. They really incorporated the whimsy and made me want to live like a peasant in the medieval era under a monarchy. • Ella Enchanted (2004). • The Princess Diaries 1 & 2. • Freaky Friday with Lindsay Lohan and JLC (2003). • Hocus Pocus (1993).
