I’m talking a pre-2005 Disney movie. Rather than the mom successfully rescuing the cub, they’re separated, and the entire plot of the movie is them trying to get back together. You know, what of those unreasonably heart-wrenching kids movies? Related: Polish Mountaineer Finds Zen Cat On Summit Of Country’s La ..read more

Moreover, reinstating ski trains coul ..read more
