A truly great animated film transcends age, appealing to audiences of all ages. Of course, sometimes there are jokes aimed squarely adults that fly merrily over the kids’ heads, often sexual, political, or otherwise sly. When we go back and re-view the films of our childhoods, it’s not uncommon to have a couple OHHHHH moments. Patty-cake?! Here’s my favorite:...

I have a runDisney suggestion for you. It’s not that exciting. You are not going to be jazzed about it. But you have to trust me. Articles abound about the best place to carb-load pre-runDisney race.
