This came out today, and I'll be getting tomorrow.

This isn't one of my very favorites, but it holds a special place in my heart since it was one of my grandmother's favorite films. It's also arguably the most straight-forward of the first 3 princess stories, and is also the only one of the three to have its heroine be the most interesting character, which does require some praise.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!
