A Magical Disney Recruitment for 2 UGA Ladies
It's that time again.
If you've ever read one of my threads before, you know I only post happy endings, so the two ladies in this thread have already got bids in hand and are no doubt still celebrating their new homes. Coming up with themes for these threads is getting tougher with each recruitment each year, so you know I'm stretching here when I announce that this year's thread theme will be... Old-School Live-Action Disney Films! I know. I know. UGA has 17 houses: The Rocketeer Pollyanna Swiss Family Robinson The Parent Trap Babes in Toyland Summer Magic The Three Lives of Thomasina Flight of the Navigator The Barefoot Executive The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes Candleshoe Tron Return to Oz Newsies Cool Runnings Hocus Pocus Remember the Titans Names omitted from possible usage because they sounded mean: Darby O'Gill and the Little People, The Shaggy Dog, The Gnome Mobile, The Absent Minded Professor, The Ugly Daschund, The Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit, and Westward Ho Wagons. I mean, who would want to be the Westward Ho Wagons? I mean, I guess it's better than Operation Dumbo Drop... but everything's a better name for a sorority than Operation Dumbo Drop. Place your bets on houses (and tell me which awesome old-school Disney live-action films I missed)! |

The Apple Dumpling Gang
|
Hocus Pocus is the best movie! I used to watch it with my younger cousins. I will root for it.
|
Summer Magic...wonderful film I'm voting for that hous.
|
Here's a few other old school live action Disney films:
Escape to Witch Mountain Return from Witch Mountain The Black Hole Bedknobs and Broomsticks ( live-action/animation mix ) Now you see him, Now you don't The Strongest Man in the World Freaky Friday ( the Jodie Foster/Barbera Harris version ) The Apple Dumpling Gang ( previously mentioned ) The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again The Love Bug Herbie Rides Again Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo Herbie Goes Bananas and for the purposes of your thread topic for the PMN, I think I will root for TRON, the film that brought computer animation into a whole new level of filmmaking; love those lightcycles. |
Fuck yeah, Return to Oz!
|
Hi. So normally I don't post in recruitment threads but I'm just gonna say that I will be rooting for and hoping that Newsies is Delta Gamma because that is my absolute favorite movie of all time! Here's to hoping your PNMs seize the day :D
Also, Hocus Pocus is amazing too, so I'll include that as my second favorite to root for! |
I've been waiting for dgdramadawg to resurface with her recruitment threads. YES!

Love the Computer wore Tennis Shoes I believe it was a very, very young Kurt Russell as the star! (that house gets my vote!)
|
The Parent Trap was one of my favorite movies when I was young! Rooting for them and Hocus Pocus (which I still watch every Halloween when it comes on the Disney channel!)

Round One... Here We Go!
Since both PNMs visited all 17 houses for round one, I will go house by house. It's always interesting to see how two girls can see the same houses very differently.
I'm naming my girls Jessica and Elizabeth. They are not twins, but that's what I'm naming them. Also deciding on Sweet Valley as a future thread theme. THE ROCKETEER Jessica totally loved this house. She felt very at home and had great conversations with everyone she met. Elizabeth also loved this house. It had a homey feel that set her at ease instantly. POLLYANNA Jessica really liked this house. The girls were really sweet and fun. Elizabeth liked this house. SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON Jessica thought the girls in this house were nice, but she did not feel like she would fit in. Elizabeth thought the girls in this house were nice, but she did not feel like she would fit in. THE PARENT TRAP Jessica loved this house and felt at home with all the girls she spoke to. Elizabeth instantly knew this house was her round one favorite. She really connected with everyone and felt at home. BABES IN TOYLAND Jessica thought the girls in this house were nice, but she did not feel like she would fit in. Elizabeth really enjoyed her time here, but just can't see herself pledging. SUMMER MAGIC Jessica really liked these girls and definitely wants to return. Elizabeth really liked these girls and definitely wants to return. THE THREE LIVES OF THOMASINA Jessica thought these girls were really sweet. She would not mind returning. Elizabeth thought these girls were really sweet. She would not mind returning. FLIGHT OF THE NAVIGATOR Jessica did not feel like she had much in common with the girls she met here. Elizabeth did not feel like she had much in common with the girls she met here. THE BAREFOOT EXECUTIVE Jessica felt very welcome here! The girls were super sweet. Elizabeth thought these girls were really sweet. She would not mind returning. THE COMPUTER WORE TENNIS SHOES Jessica really got along with the girls here. She had a lot in common with them. Elizabeth thought these girls were really sweet. She would not mind returning. CANDLESHOE Jessica expected to love this house and she was not disappointed. Elizabeth really liked this house a lot! The girls were very sweet. TRON Jessica didn't really feel a connection with the girls she met here. Elizabeth thought these girls were really sweet. She would not mind returning. RETURN TO OZ Jessica loved this house! She had a lot in common with the girls she met. Elizabeth loved this house! She liked the laid back, homey feel. NEWSIES Jessica didn't dislike this house, but she didn't really feel like she got to know the girls very well. Elizabeth liked this house, but not quite as much as she expected to. COOL RUNNINGS Jessica liked this house a lot. Elizabeth really liked this house. The girls were laid back and fun. HOCUS POCUS Jessica thought these girls were really sweet and gorgeous. She had fun here! Elizabeth did not feel like she had much in common with the girls she met here. REMEMBER THE TITANS Jessica had a lot of fun at this house and really got along with the girls she met. Elizabeth did not feel like she had a lot in common with the girls she met. After round one, PNMs have to list their top 12 and then list the other 5 houses in ranked order. JESSICA'S RANKINGS Jessica's favorite houses were definitely The Rocketeer, The Parent Trap, and Return to Oz! The houses she listed below her top 12 were Newsies, Swiss Family Robinson, Flight of the Navigator, Tron, and Babes in Toyland. ELIZABETH'S RANKINGS Elizabeth's favorite houses were definitely The Parent Trap, The Rocketeer, and Return to Oz! The houses she listed below her top 12 were Swiss Family Robinson, Hocus Pocus, Remember the Titans, Flight of the Navigator, and Babes in Toyland. |
I guess that I'll go with Pollyanna since you aren't listing Child of Glass and Mr. Boogedy/Bride of Boogedy!

That's exactly the part I'm at!
"When you've got a hundred voices singing, who can hear a lousy whistle blow!???" Such an underrated movie. Also, young Christian Bale is both gorgeous and hilarious. I don't blame him sometimes for refusing to acknowledge he was in it. |
can't wait to hear how round 2 went!

Aw I didn't even realize I was so focused on my Newsies! There go my picks.
Guess I'll go for The Parent Trap then. Once upon a time when Lindsay Lohan was cute... |

P.S. One of my former co-workers at the theater I work at is a DG. |
Ladies and Gentlemen, sorry for the thread side-swerve into a brief discussion of the history of Disney films. Please accept my apologizes; but it's the film theorist in me that motivated me to post a follow-up.
And I'm glad to see TRON still in the running....TRON has not reached its END OF LINE yet. LOL. |
Computer wore tennis shoes is still in the "running"! LOL

I grew up wanting to be Hayley Mills.:D |
Me too AnchorAlumna. She was the Annette Funicello of my day! Anyone remember "The Moonspinners?"
|
Yes! I was terrified!

The Moonspiners is one of my all time favorites!

Jessica loved this house even more this round! Elizabeth loved this house even more this round! THE PARENT TRAP Jessica didn't love this house quite as much as TR and RTO, but she did love them. Elizabeth loves this house most. RETURN TO OZ Jessica totally loves this house, too! Elizabeth didn't love this house quite as much as TR and TPT, but she did love them. SUMMER MAGIC Jessica got to know this house a lot better this round. She likes them a lot. Elizabeth really liked this house this round. She was so glad she got a chance to get to know them better. FLIGHT OF THE NAVIGATOR Jessica just doesn't see herself here. The girls seemed fun and were nice, but she just didn't fee like she fit in. Elizabeth liked this house. She wouldn't mind returning. TRON Jessica just doesn't see herself here. The girls seemed fun and were nice, but she just didn't fee like she fit in. BABES IN TOYLAND Elizabeth just doesn't see herself here. The girls seemed fun and were nice, but she just didn't fee like she fit in. COOL RUNNINGS Elizabeth really liked getting to know the girls at this house better. She definitely wants to return. THE COMPUTER WORE TENNIS SHOES Elizabeth really liked getting to know the girls at this house better. She definitely wants to return. REMEMBER THE TITANS Elizabeth just doesn't see herself here. The girls seemed fun and were nice, but she just didn't fee like she fit in. JESSICA listed Tron as her #7 (PNMs are allowed to return to 6 houses for round 3). ELIZABETH listed Remember the Titans, Babes in Toyland, and Flight of the Navigator as her #7-9, though she wouldn't mind returning to Flight of the Navigator. Both girls still have the same three favorites, but Jessica favors The Rocketeer and Return to Oz in a tie, while Elizabeth is leaning toward The Parent Trap! |
These aren't the Sweet Valley twins are they? ;-)

She wouldn't mind returning, but she doesn't see herself pledging. BABES IN TOYLAND Elizabeth thought these girls were very sweet, but she doesn't see herself here. JESSICA'S RANKINGS: 1/2. The Rocketeer/Return to Oz 3. Summer Magic Jessica seriously doesn't know how she can possibly choose between her top 2! It's going to come down to prefs here! ELIZABETH'S RANKINGS: 1. The Rocketeer 2. Return to Oz 3. Summer Magic 4. Cool Runnings 5. Flight of the Navigator 6. Babes in Toyland Elizabeth really loves The Rocketeer, but she thinks she could be happy with any of her top 4. It could really come down to prefs! |
It's fun to see 2 PNMs with similar "likes" and to see if they end up in the same chapter!
|
SOOO much fun to read, can't wait for tonight's edition! :D
|
I feel the same way!

ELIZABETH'S INVITES: The Rocketeer Return to Oz Summer Magic Elizabeth can't wait to visit her top 3 houses! She's pretty sure she will end up with The Rocketeer, but you never know... |
