Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is a wonderful introductory movie with an amazing feeling of discovery. As a stand alone movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone would have been a classic school story. Instead it served as merely a starting point to 1 of the most magical series of all time. 1st time viewers will discover the wizarding world right along with Harry as he finds out he's a wizard, gets his wand, and goes to Hogwarts. Long time Harry Potter fans will feel nostalgic returning to the story that started it all. The excellent casting and classic music set the series up for future success and viewers will finish this movie with an immense sense of satisfaction. 10 points to Gryffindor:)

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer is both the best animated Christmas special and the 1 that passes the childhood to adulthood transition the best. From the likeable characters such as Rudolph and Yukon to the many fun songs such as We are Santa's Elves, Holly Jolly Christmas, and the title itself, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer is totally awesome baby! It was an 11 out of 10 when I 1st watched it as a Kindergartner in 1986 and it is still an 11 out of 10 as a 37 year old in 2018. :)

Frosty the Snowman is a magical Christmas special that has a magical feel and spirit to it from start to finish. I 1st watched it as a 2nd grader in 1988 and still love it today as a 37 year old in 2018. The references to magic, from the snow to the hat to the glade are totally fitting as the whole show has a magical feel to it. Do yourself a favor and limit your Frosty viewing to this show because the sequel sucks. But the original Frosty gets a 10 out of 10.
