Disney films. Though I disagree with most of their moral teachings, I just love them... Also I generally dislike music like Elton John's but almost start crying in the first music scene of the Lion King (Circle of life... aww...)

Could I possibly second everything you said? Also, I don't like how commercialised they are but they're just so amusing and nostalgic... and it can be seen that they have been done well (or at least most of them have).

It has to be the old ones though (apart from Pirates of course) because the music was sooo much better. I must know just about every song from Jungle Book word for word.

I'm not having any of this modern Disneyfied Winnie The Pooh though. How Very Dare They!

Indeed... Disney Winnie the Pooh is just wrong.

My favorite Disney films were always Robin Hood and The Sword in the Stone... I suppose there's a theme there somewhere...

Thirded (or sixthed, however you take it).

I assign identifying with a book character who is so much like me in every way, only to see a few pages later that another character realises something about this character. No problem with that, only it's a thing that applies to me as well, and I wouldn't maybe have wanted to realise it.

If no one else has done it yet, werewolf definitely needs to be assigned to Orthanc.
