'00 | Eve's great, no matter where she goes

Had a Disney Channel flashback today. I believe this may have been Tyra Banks theatrical debut. LOL Before Lindsay went loco, she was an adorable ginger-haired girl who needed a friend. Conveniently she wishes her black Barbie to come to life and bring happiness to her miserably bleak life. Great for a 90skd, but the '09 adult is sensing some frank parallels to the plot today. An African goddess - simple and subservient - nurtures a lonely white girl and her widowed father. Woooow. But I digress. Here's the best part of the film where Eve sings her theme song. Oh, yeah, she sings for the white people, too.

'73 | Robin Hood

Definitely not a 8709 classic, but this was a sure-fire way to get us kids to be quiet for an hour and half on any given day. Disney's telling of the rogue hero of Sherwood Forest was one of my favorites growing up. Even the most complicated stories of society mores can be lightened with talking animals. Poverty? Crime? Politics? Just add a singing rooster.
