Cinderella

So, I watched Cinderella tonight for the first time since elementary school.  Thank you Time Warner Cable.  The first thing I noticed was the fact that I have never watched the video with commercials before.  The second thing I noticed was that I haven't watched the movie since DVD's existed.

Cinderella was one of the first movies I ever owned.  Tonight I felt as though I was watching a movie through a telescope.  Watching the movie on my TV at home about 20 years after I saw it for the first time was the most bizarre thing I've done.  I felt like I wasn't actually watching the movie, it was as if i was watching myself watch the movie years ago.  It was so strange.  I felt things that i was "supposed to feel:" but not because i actually did, it was because I consciously felt as if i was supposed to.... REALLY WEIRD.... I remember being so engaged in the movie, when she was dancing with prince charming i felt as though I was the one dancing with prince charming.  Last night all I thought about when I was watching them dance was how crazy it is that technology changes so quickly.  The animation was so archaic and his face looked so brown, so non-realistic.  It was like watching a flip book or a moving drawing.  Hilarious...
