THE SAVANNAH Our first world circle of life dictates that we show the following generations the movies we grew up watching.

Ive had the pleasure of introducing younger generations to The Goonies, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, Anne of Green Gables, (RIP, Jonathan Crombie) Labyrinth and dozens of Disney live-action and animation films.

Out of all the films Ive introduced to small to medium-sized humans, Id venture to say that we collectively share Disney animations films with younger generations the most. Theres just something irresistible and charming about the music, the colors and the wonderment wrapped up into a presentation of fairy tales old and new. Theyre just begging to be shared.

But what we dont always count on is each childs reaction to what were showing him or her. Just like I didnt expect my nephew to run in fear when Cruella de Vil goes into a rage in 101 Dalmatians, Im not sure this dad expected his small daughter to be quietly and tearfully touched as she watches Mufasa die in her reportedly first viewing of The Lion King. The 53-second video will truly melt your heart.

Its good thing her daddy was there to give her a hug and a cuddle in her time of need.
