Favorite Disney Horses

After digging out my Sleeping Beauty Colorforms with Samson the horse, I thought it might be fun to look at a few more Disney horses.

Horses factor into many Disney movies, especially the animated ones. Some have important roles in the film; in others they are secondary to the main characters or even just part of the background.

Here are a few of my favorites.

Nokk, who is featured in Frozen II, is a Disney horse who plays an important role. Along with Elsa, he helps save the town of Arendelle from a flood and then remains with Elsa as her mount in the Enchanted Forest.

I am also very fond of Bullseye from the Toy Story films. I have a small plastic model of Bullseye 

and a stuffed Bullseye that is my stable mascot. As you can see, he is a favorite of the grands and well loved.

I may not be a unicorn lover, but I am absolutely a fan of Pegasus! He is not the brightest crayon in the box in Disney's depiction of him, but he still is fun.

This movie is full of Green mythology, art, and more. I even used it in my classroom a couple of times when teaching Greek Mythology - the kiddos loved seeing the references to the myths they had learned about.

My favorite Disney horse comes from one of my least favorite Disney movies.

Maximus from Tangled! He's strong, conscientious about his duty, and in the end, simply hilarious.

Here's a clip that always makes me laugh.

There are many more Disney horses, too many for me to write about. Want to take a look at them? Go here for a comprehensive list of every Disney Horse.

Frozen II with Pony Pals

Yesterday Craig and I took Pony Pals Mila, Julie, and Kate to see Frozen II.  Mamas Emily and Vanessa joined us, and Lukas tagged along, too.

 Pony Pal Kate was wearing her favorite tee shirt.  Pony power indeed!

The soundtrack for the preview shows was incredibly loud and Pony Pal Kate was very bothered by it. (So was I.) Emily, Kate, Mila, Julie and Vanessa.

Lukie simply froze at the loudness. (Seriously, no pun intended. That's what he did.) I think he was really scared and just didn't move, staring straight ahead and not saying a word. Boompa distracted him by playing with the buttons on his seat, adjusting it so that Lukie could recline, and that helped  him relax. He ended up enjoying the film (whose soundtrack was much quieter.)

The movie was okay but very confusing in parts. It is not one I would pay to see again.

I did like the character of Nokk, the spirit of water, and have already added the Hallmark ornament to my Amazon wishlist!
