I just found this video. Have you all seen it yet? So cute!

@beach-mom Here I sit, blubbering away, lol. This song always makes me tear up, and with the pictures added, I am a puddle now, lol.

YW @MickD, @LTT1, and @mousiegirl! I was crying too, and that is also one of my favorite songs. I love the one picture of Baby near the end - he looks so regal. I love how they got the whole family in the video and most of the two-legged family too. He's just a doll. Another thing is Jordan has said is Oliver is taking an interest in him, which seems to be not a common thing among giraffe "dads." I can't wait to see them all outside playing!

@beach-mom When DD was little, I bought the Lion Kings, and I never got past the Circle of Life and the animals bowing at the beginning, I broke down in sobs, lol, still get goose bumps thinking about it, crazy I know, but when it comes to critters, I am a mess, lol.

@mousiegirl - I've been crying at Disney movies as long as I can remember - most of the time to the embarrassment of my family! I don't even wait until the end!

@beach-mom When DD was in kindergarten, or soon thereafter, she and I and her friend and her Mother went to the movie to see Spirit. I sobbed throughout the entire movie, styfling as much as I could, having had a horse of my own and knowing that the way the horses were treated in the movie really does happen. The mom told me afterward she would never forget how I cried, but then she wasn't an animal person, her daughter was though, so we understood each other.

Bambi, forget it, I was a mess, lol, and on it goes.

Thank you so much for that video @beach-mom!

I also liked the one after that of Jordan giving updates of the family!

So many great shots, and loved the close-ups of their beautiful eyes.

RE The Lion King-when it first came out I thought it was so sad and never wanted to watch it again but all my kids thought it was their favorite and wanted the dvd (is that what they were called back then or tape or whatever lol!) so I had to get it.

yeah after that first scene, I think i was crying throughout the movie.

But Disney-happy or sad, I'll be crying too. My daughters and I still like to go to them together when they come out with a new one.

Loved the new Beauty and the Beast

I think Oliver is a sweety pie in his own right too. I wonder if he takes an interest because well, here they all are in a cage and not many things to look at, then how could you not be curious, then fall in love with a little one who resembles you? (I mean him-you know what I mean

@on the bay Yes, I think in captivity animal behavior is different than in the wild. They were nose to nose so had no choice but to be interested, lol.
