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

IndianaSigKap 08-14-2012 12:20 AM

Hocus Pocus is the best movie! I used to watch it with my younger cousins. I will root for it.

ellebud 08-14-2012 03:16 AM

Summer Magic...wonderful film I'm voting for that hous.

ZetaPhi708 08-14-2012 07:28 AM

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.

Senusret I 08-14-2012 07:48 AM

Fuck yeah, Return to Oz!

happilyanchored 08-14-2012 10:08 AM

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!

AZTheta 08-14-2012 10:31 AM

I've been waiting for dgdramadawg to resurface with her recruitment threads. YES!

I love that movie so much that I couldn't include it because it would have to be DG. So much of my childhood is wrapped up in the watching and rewatching of Bedknobs and Broomsticks and Pete's Dragon.

I'm off to go type a very long round one post... it will be up later on! :)

We need to revive that rehab thread for the rush thread addicts. The first step is admitting that I have a problem...

Dgdramadawg's recruitment threads are just like Christmas morning.

scrapcat 08-14-2012 05:30 PM

Love the Computer wore Tennis Shoes I believe it was a very, very young Kurt Russell as the star! (that house gets my vote!)

TrulyDevoted 08-14-2012 06:13 PM

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!)

dgdramadawg 08-14-2012 06:39 PM

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

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.

carnation 08-14-2012 06:41 PM

I guess that I'll go with Pollyanna since you aren't listing Child of Glass and Mr. Boogedy/Bride of Boogedy!

Darn Newsies is out already. Oh well. At least you inspired me to rewatch it (which is what I'm doing right now!)

Pulitzer may own The World but he don't own us!

happilyanchored 08-14-2012 08:43 PM

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.

aab225 08-14-2012 08:57 PM

can't wait to hear how round 2 went!

And no Hocus Pocus! :(

happilyanchored 08-14-2012 09:43 PM

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...

Ms. Dgdramadawg, I totally forgot about adding Pete's Dragon to my list also. I grew up during the 70s Disney era, so I was able to see that one in theaters, along with B & B....and just about all of those titles on my list. Also, look at your DVD of B&B, if the running time is 2hrs. 18-20 minutes, then you have the restored version, at least of what material they could find in their archives; IMHO, it is the better than the 1hr. 58 minute version. Read up on its various releases here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedknobs_and_Broomsticks

P.S. One of my former co-workers at the theater I work at is a DG.

ZetaPhi708 08-14-2012 09:58 PM

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.

scrapcat 08-15-2012 11:27 AM

Computer wore tennis shoes is still in the "running"! LOL

Lindsay who?
I grew up wanting to be Hayley Mills.:D

FSUZeta 08-15-2012 03:56 PM

Me too AnchorAlumna. She was the Annette Funicello of my day! Anyone remember "The Moonspinners?"

carnation 08-15-2012 03:58 PM

Yes! I was terrified!

FSUZeta 08-15-2012 04:08 PM

The Moonspiners is one of my all time favorites!

dgdramadawg 08-15-2012 08:12 PM

THE ROCKETEER
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!

IrishLake 08-15-2012 09:15 PM

These aren't the Sweet Valley twins are they? ;-)

I've already decided on doing a full-on Sweet Valley thread for my next one. :)
