Today, June 15, is when we are celebrating Father’s Day. Walt Disney himself was a great father for his daughters. Once, he went to his daughter’s teacher to complain about how many homework his daughters should do at home, so he couldn’t spend time with them. Wow… What a great father!

There are so many characters in Walt Disney Production which show the relationship between father and son or father and daughter. The first one I would like to tell is Gepetto and Pinocchio.

Gepetto dreams a son. He is a toy maker. So he made a boy puppet, and wish he would become alive. He wishes upon a star and at the night, the blue fairy comes and makes her dream comes true. There are so many difficulties they have to face before Pinocchio becomes a real boy, but they show how big a father could love his son, although he is not his real son. They are helped by their friends, Jiminy Cricket and Figaro the Cat

Next, I will show the relationship between Mufasa and Simba in Lion King. Since the beginning of the movie, we can see that Simba has a great relationship with his father, Mufasa. Mufasa would do anything to please his son. When Mufasa’s brother, Scar, tries to steal his throne by tricking Simba, Mufasa has to give his life to save Simba… (I cried a lot when I saw this movie for the first time, and now I still cry every time I watch…) Even when finally Simba leaves his home and meets Timon and Pumba, the one who makes him realize that he has to take back his throne is Mufasa. What a great movie!

In Finding Nemo, we can see how hard Marlin tries to find his lost son, Nemo. from this movie, I can learn that a father would do anything to protect his children. Marlin is too scared that Nemo would hurt because Nemo is the only one he got after he lost his wife and children. He doesn’t realize that sometimes his son needs to be trusted to do all things by himself.

In Disney Channel Movie, we can see the wonderful father-daughter relationship in Hannah Montana the series. Miley Stewart is really close with his father, Billy Ray Stewart (in the movie and in the real life). The one which i love very much is when Billy Ray hurts his back when working out in Jackson’s ‘rubber machine’ and he doesn’t allow Miley (or Hannah) to go by herself. Miley refuses to obey her father’s rule and goes with Roxy. There Billy Ray states that there is no father will be happy to see his daughters go. He sings for Miley, and then let her go by herself. The title is Ready, Set, Don’t Go (I put the song below…)

There are still so many characters in Disney Production which show about the relationship between father and children.

In the end, I say, Happy Father’s Day…

My father is the figure I took as a role model. I love him in all his greatness and his weakness. I love you, Father…

There are so many people who asked about Skandar in my previous post about him. Well, I have googled his email or his phone number, but I am not sure if it is his real number/email or not….

I don’t know if it works or not, but I hope it does…

Years after Walt Disney made Cinderella, they made its sequel in .It was published in DVD format only. The story is about how Cinderella lives after she moves to the castle with her prince. Although now she has found her true love, but now she has to live as a princess.

The DVD is released in February 26, 2002 (It is near my birthday… ) It consists three segments. The first one, is about how Cinderella plans the party, how Jaq-Jaq the mouse wants to be a human, and the third is about one of Cinderella’s stepsister, Anastasia, wants to find her true love.

The movie begins when the mice tells Cinderella’s story after the happy ending.

#1: Aim to Please

Here, we can see Cinderella, who is charge to prepare the banquets for the party, doesn’t feel right to do all things like they usually do in the palace. She is helped by Prudence, the woman who is in charge for all things happen in the palace. Prudence tells Cinderella that the royal banquet has to be done in traditional ways, and one of them is that the party is not allowed for the peasants. Cinderella doesn’t agree with Prudence. So with help from her friends, she tries to convince everyone to make some changes, including to invite the peasants to the royal banquet.

#2: Tall Tail

The second segment is about one of Cinderella’s mice friends, Jaq-Jaq. We all know that since the first movie, Jaq-Jaq always help Cinderella. When Cinderella moved to the palace, Jaq-Jaq feels that he is too small to help his Cinderelly. He cannot do anything to help his Cinderelly. With the help from Fairy Godmother with his "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo", Jaq-Jaq turns into a human. However, the royal white cat name Pom-Pom, still recognize him as a mouse, not a human. Pom-Pom is the mice’s new enemy, after Lucifer. Pom-Pom thinks that as a human, Jaq-Jaq equals to 10 mice! Jaq-Jaq, who always tries to be around Cinderella to help, is always followed by Pom-Pom. In the end, Jaq-Jaq realizes and he is happy to be what he is, and finally meet a female mouse named Mary.

#3: An Uncommon Romance

The third section is telling story about Anastasia, one of Cinderella’s stepsister, She is falling in love with a baker in the town, but her mother (Lady Tremaine) and sister (Drizella) do not approve it. Lady Tremaine and Drizella still wants her to marry a rich man, and tells Anastasia to forget about the baker. This is the first time when Anastasia wants to be against her mother. Meanwhile, at that same time, we can also meet our ‘lovable’ cat, Lucifer, the mean and bad cat from the first movie. When Lucifer are chasing the mice, Anastasia is kicked by a horse and falls into rags, getting herself in breads. Cinderella knows her stepsister’s feeling and encourages her to be with the baker. Cinderella wants to help Anastasia. During that time, Lucifer comes to the palace, still wants to catch the mice. But then Lucifer meets Pom-Pom. At that time, he thinks that Pom-Pom is the prettiest cat in the world. But his love is not returned. Pom-Pom hates him.The mice (Jaq-Jaq and Gus-Gus) want to help Lucifer to get Pom-Pom’s heart, as long as Lucifer promises that he will never chase the mice again. Lucifer agrees. Then we can see Lucifer’s effort to attract Pom-Pom, and how Anastasia’s struggle to obey her mother or get her true love. Is Lucifer succeeded in getting Pom-Pom? Will he stop in chasing the mice? Will Anastasia obey her mother, or against her mother to be with the baker?
