Walking Down Nostalgia Lane

I have been walking down Nostlagia Lane of late. I re-discovered Mr. Big, and now I'm watching "The Bear Necessities" from The Jungle Book. I think all this is part of my current I-don't-wanna-grow-up state of mind.

Anyway, I adore this video. Always have. And I am convinced that the cartoons we grew up watching were so much cooler than the ones we are landed with these days. I did like Ratatouille, but that was not a patch on The Jungle Book or Snow White or Aladdin or The Beauty and the Beast. Or maybe I'm just turning into an old fuddy-duddy thinking of the days gone by, wishing I could live with Peter Pan and his gang on good ol' Neverland.

Somehow, I feel like sitting down with a packet of unbranded chips doused in masala, and reading about the adventures of Mary Poppins. Sigh...

The other day I came across this quotation:
"I was happy but happy is an adult world. You don't have to ask a child about happy, you see it. They are or they are not. Adults talk about being happy because largely they are not. Talking about it is the same as trying to catch the wind. Much easier to let it blow all over you."

How true.
