I was at Target today looking for the book “The Paperbag Princess.” While I was searching I turned and saw the Disney movie Hocus Pocus. I was so excited to find it! (I also found Bedknobs and Broomsticks!) This brought back so many fond memories of watching it on television at night when it would come on the Disney Channel. This movie would only be shown during the month of October, so it was one of the movies we would look forward to every year. Other movies that we looked forward to included: The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown!; The Charlie Brown Christmas; Rudolph; Frosty the Snowman. There were plenty more to be sure, but the point is, we would look forward to these movies every year. Waiting patiently as the hot summers turned cooled and finally into fall. October brought Halloween, November, Thanksgiving and December, Christmas. These days before DVD’s and the internet that now leave us with little to know anticipation. If I want to watch Hocus Pocus in the middle of March, I can. If I want to watch Frosty the Snowman in the middle of July, well, that’s my prerogative. Now, I am by no means bashing modern technologies. I certainly did buy Hocus Pocus tonight, and I am watching it now. But I just have to wonder if the magic of it will be lost (pun intended).
