I hate...
Disney
Red Arrow (Age 12)
Roy just looked at the commercial, before looking at Wally.
"Really?" He asked. "Cinderella?" Wally shifted from his left foot to his right one, and the ten-year old just looked at him.
"Aunt Iris said it's a good movie." He defended his choice. "And it is my turn to pick. Dick get's to pick next week, remember? Where is he anyways?"
"Sorry, Alfred was baking some last minute cookies." Dick said, holding a tote. "He said this should be enough for us. So, what- what are we wa-tching?"
"Cinderella." Roy said. "Appearently Iris said it was a good movie."
"Alfred said- same thing." The eight-year-old said thoughtfully, glancing over at Wally without any judgement in his eyes. "When I get back we'll- talk a-bout it. Turn it on." Roy put the movie in the DVD Player (wondering why Oliver was so old-fashioned), and waited for the opening credits to roll.
One week later
Dick was the first one there the next movie night, and he had a DVD in his hand, along with an evil grin on his face, which forceably disappeared once he saw Roy.
"Hello, Roy!" He said, hiding the DVD behind his back. "I've picked the movie!"
"What is it?" Roy asked.
"Um..." Dick said. "Bambi. My mami always said it was an... An... excelente película." Roy looked at the younger boy, translating his spanish.
"A what?" Wally asked, confused.
"An excellent movie." Roy explained. "So, Dick, is there any language you don't know?" Dick looked at him thoughtfully, before nodding.
"E-english." The younger boy stuttered. "Mucho más difícil que cualquier otra lengua que conozco." Much easier than any other langiage I know. Roy translated. Wally glanced at Dick, confused.
"Spanish for 'much easier than any other language I know'." Roy said. "I had to learn spanish and french and such when I moved in with Ollie."
"And I gotta learn En-glish." Dick said.
"So that's why we watch movies every week!" Wally said. "To help you grasp the english language!" Dick glanced at Roy, confused. "Sorry. What I meant is that we watch movies so you can understand english better." Dick nodded, looking relieved, and he stepped forward and put the movie in the DVD player.
Two weeks later...
Wally's turn again, and he'd brought another Disney movie in. This time is was Pocahontas, and Roy wasn't really looking forward to it, even though Dick and Wally were really excited about seeing it.
**0O
And it went on like that for weeks, both boys making an effort to bring in only Disney movies, for a whole year. Then Dick brought in The Lion King.
The result was a complete Disney ban for the boys, but Roy thought it was hilarious, and as he walked back to Oliver's car, he make a decision.
"I hate Disney." He said. "The only exceptions being Pocahontas-" (Because he was raised on an indian reseveration). "- and The Lion King."
