Welcome to my brainchild, I have created a monster! It's beautiful Disney/book mash-up and I'm fully in love with the idea. I spent the better part of my free time this past week working on this new project. I took all the full-length animated theatrical releases Disney has to offer and separated them into different reading tracks. The main one is a list of the main Disney movies not including Pixar.
In an effort to keep the main list smaller (lol), I created side tracks that come under the Disney umbrella ranging from Pixar and TV spin-offs to specific series with multiple movies. Each of these movies on the lists were then assigned a reading prompt. Guys, there are so many movies, it was sometimes a bit difficult to come up with a prompt that fit the movie well. I've done my best and I'm really quite proud of what I've produced.
So here's the idea: This will be my long standing challenge, I will choose 1-3 movies each month at random. I will read a book that corresponds to the prompts and then I will watch the movies. It's fun because I'm challenging myself reading-wise and I get to watch Disney movies in the process! There are some movies on this list I haven't seen in a very long time and I'm just as excited to revisit them as I am to read all these books.
I will (hopefully) be posting a monthly TBRs with the chosen prompts/movies and then do a monthly recap on both movies and books. I think this will be a fun way to go through this project. It's an as-long-as-it-takes Disney read-a-thon!
