Too much is, well...

One thing about children is, they don't mind being repetitive: they can say the same thing over and over, ask the same question over and over, and watch the same show over and over. The first movie Liahna picked up on was Lady and the Tramp, by Walt Disney. At first she called it 'puppies.'


The first dozen or so times we watched it, it was all right, but as time went on, it began to wear on me. As I watched over time, I began to pick up on some things. For instance:
a- sometimes they have a screen door and other times they don't
b- the first night they have Lady, Jim Dear makes sure to put a newspaper down for Lady, but it disappears
c- the back porch never changes, no matter what time of year it is

It has actually been awhile since I've seen it, so I can't remember what other observations I've made.

The second movie Liahna picked up on was 101 Dalmations, also by Walt Disney. She called it 'New Puppies.'


I noticed that Disney borrowed dogs from other movies, for this and Oliver and Company. In the scenes where they show a lot of dogs, they borrow dogs from other movies. Also, the park scene where Pongo is trying to bring Roger and Anita together, he puts Roger's hat on the bench. Roger doesn't pick it up, and yet he has it on when they fall in the water.

As I think of more discrepancies I'll let you know.
