Let's Go To The Movies: Disney Princesses Back In Theaters!

So, I don't have a lot of spare time to go to the movies -- still waiting to see Crazy Rich Asians. And Mission Impossible. And Mamma Mia 2. -- but this is tempting. If only my daughter was a little older, these would be perfect to take her to! While Disney movies can hold her attention like nothing else can -- except maybe Dora the Explorer -- I don't think we're quite at the point where we can sit in a movie theater.

I'm hoping Frozen 2 will be her first theater-movie, but I don't know how she'll do with a movie she's never seen before. Honestly, she's more likely to sit through Moana because she knows the movie by heart.

Our local AMC theater is at Southpoint mall, y'all! Happy Fall!

Lea Salonga + Lin-Manuel Miranda Sing "A Whole New World"

Jasmine was never my favorite Disney princess, but you really can't deny that Lea Salonga can sing -- and sing beautifully.

Wednesday night, Lea Salonga popped up outside the Richard Rodgers theater in NYC where Miranda's Founding Fathers musical Hamilton is playing. (Apparently, it's really, really good.)

Regardless, I guess it's a thing where if you enter the lottery and have to wait around in the cold to see if you get a ticket, Miranda will make sure you're entertained. And last night, those hopeful audience members got to hear Princess Jasmine sing "A Whole New World" and it was shining, shimmering, splendid:

They start singing "A Whole New World" about 2:37 in.
