Hello, Everyone! As most of you might know, yesterday, I started the long process of overhauling my blog and exporting everything into my book (now personal) blog, A Dreamer's Library. Well after some work in the early hours of this morning, I can finally say that the new blog is live, active, and well on…

Blog Overhaul

NB - if you see a very similar post on both blogs, don't be alarmed, you've not gone crazy, I've just posted it twice just in case it won't be missed by any followers who only follow the one blog. Hello! If any of you read this blog and A Dreamer's Library, then you might…

Dumbo in Disneyland Paris

Hello! Popular as it is, Dumbo gets quite a bit of representation within the Disney parks. I am going to keep to Disneyland Paris though as it is my home park, and the one I have been to the most. The main representation Dumbo has in the park is the popular and well loved Fantasyland…

Dumbo in the Disney Baby Franchise

Hello! Due to the sweet, innocent, endearing characteristics of Dumbo, it is no surprise that he is one of the main characters to be heavily featured in Disney's Baby Franchise. To make him even more appealing to the youngest of our generations, he takes on a more rugged, softer appearance, dulling his already grey coat.…

Favourite Pixar Films

Hello! The time has come around again to jump into the Top 5 lists that I have not done for a while. I'm not sure why as they are great posts to write and they bring out that personal touch that can sometimes be missing when I'm looking at Disney history and things. Anyway, I…

Beauty and the Beast Retellings

Hello! It is Beauty and the Beast time in my little fictional world and I'm so glad to finally be getting round to writing up this post. We all know by now my love for Beauty and the Beast, and that also extends to any book retelling. They are my favourite out of all the…

Tchaikovsky

Hello! How well do you know some of the composers behind the pieces of music in Fantasia? I know my knowledge is a little limited, but I'm hoping with this post that it might grow a bit. The one particular composer I want to throw under my Disney spotlight is Tchaikovsky, mainly because his music…
