A while back I packed up a lot of my childhood memories and put them in a box at the back of the closet. Well, not exactly my memories, (those wouldn't fit in boxes), but many of the things that made them. In an attempt to reclaim some space in my ever shrinking room in my parents' house, I put a bunch of toys, keepsakes and VHS tapes that I or my parents couldn't part with into the depths of our downstairs closet. Several VHS classics, however, I left unpacked, knowing I would want to view them at some point in the not too distant future. These include some off-beat Disney classics, like The Great Mouse Detective and Robin Hood, as well as some standard classics, a la Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin.
Cut to earlier this week:
I was shocked to discover several of my friends had never seen The Pagemaster, an AMAZING movie that came out when we were kids. Knowing I had it on VHS, I went to my stash today to pull it out and place it with the things I'm taking back to school after break.
It wasn't there! Unknowingly, I packed it with the other things that are now trapped in the chasms of the closet. My only hope is that when we put the Christmas decorations away this weekend I might be able to locate the box their hidden in. The Forces that Be, grant me luck, because people really need to see this movie. I mean, it's quality.
