I want to first of all wish my sister Shelly a happy birthday!
I am typing this blog entry from a wonderful new laptop computer that I got at the office. I didn't expect to be getting a new computer but I guess there was a really good sale on them. So, I got one along with some other folks in our office. It's exciting. It's going to take me a while to get used to. It's got Windows 7 on it and that is a bit different but has some really cool features. The big thing will be getting used to a laptop. I have a docking station at work so that I can use a full sized keyboard, monitor, and mouse. However, at home I am trying to make a chubby fingers fit on this keyboard.
I would write more but I'm not feeling well. I came home early from work. I slept for a while and think I am going back to bed soon. This just hit me all at once. I hope to be able to sleep it off and be back in the office tomorrow.
Thanks for being a part of my journey!

Slumdog.Millionaire.2008 (JAI HO)
Mumbai in 2006, eighteen-year-old Jamal Malik (Dev Patel), a former street child from the Juhu slum, is a contestant on the Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, and is one question away from the grand prize. However, before the Rs. 20,000,000 question, he is detained and interrogated by the police, who suspect him of cheating because of the unlikelihood that a simple "slumdog" could possibly know all the answers. Jamal recounts, through flashbacks, the incidents in his life which provided him with each answer. These flashbacks tell the story of Jamal, his brother Salim (Madhur Mittal), and Latika (Freida Pinto). The story of Jamal's life includes his managing, at age five, to obtain the autograph of Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan, which his brother then sells, followed immediately by the death of his mother during the Bombay Riots. Soon after, Salim and Jamal meet Latika, another child from their slum. Salim is reluctant to take her in, but Jamal suggests that she could be the third musketeer, a character from the Alexandre Dumas novel, whose name they do not know. The three are found by Maman (Ankur Vikal), a gangster who tricks and then trains street children into becoming beggars. When Jamal, Salim, and Latika learn Maman is blinding children in order to make them more profitable as singing beggars, they flee by jumping onto a departing train. Latika catches up and takes Salim's hand, but Salim purposely lets go, and she is recaptured by the gangsters. Over the next few years, Salim and Jamal make a living travelling on top of trains, selling goods, picking pockets, working as dishwashers, and pretending to be tour guides at the Taj Mahal, where they steal people's shoes. At Jamal's insistence, they return to Mumbai to find Latika, discovering from one of the singing beggars that she has been raised by Maman to become a prostitute whose virginity is expected to fetch a high price. The brothers rescue her, and Salim draws a gun and kills Maman. Salim then manages to get a job with Javed (Mahesh Manjrekar), Maman's rival crime lord. Arriving at their hotel room, he orders Jamal to leave him and Latika alone. When Jamal refuses, Salim draws a gun on him, and Jamal leaves after Latika persuades him to go away.
Years later, while working as a tea server at an Indian call centre, Jamal searches the centre's database for Salim and Latika. He fails in finding Latika but succeeds in finding Salim, who is now a high-ranking lieutenant in Javed's organisation, and they reunite. Salim is regretful for his past actions and only pleads for forgiveness when Jamal physically attacks him. Jamal then bluffs his way into Javed's residence and reunites with Latika. While Jamal professes his love for her, Latika asks him to forget about her. Jamal promises to wait for her every day at 5 o'clock at the CST station. Latika attempts to rendezvous with him, but she is recaptured by Javed's men, led by Salim. Jamal loses contact with Latika when Javed moves to another house, outside of Mumbai. Knowing that Latika watches it regularly, Jamal attempts to make contact with her again by becoming a contestant on the show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. He makes it to the final question, despite the hostile attitude of the show's host, Prem Kumar (Anil Kapoor), and becomes a wonder across India. Kumar feeds Jamal the incorrect response to the penultimate question, and when Jamal still gets it right, turns him into the police on suspicion of cheating. Back in the interrogation room, the police inspector (Irrfan Khan) calls Jamal's explanation "bizarrely plausible", but thinks he is not a liar and allows him to return to the show. At Javed's safehouse, Latika watches the news coverage of Jamal's miraculous run on the show. Salim, in an effort to make amends for his past behaviour, quietly gives Latika his mobile phone and car keys, and asks her to forgive him and to go to Jamal. Latika, though initially reluctant out of fear of Javed, agrees and escapes. Salim fills a bathtub with cash and sits in it, waiting for the death he knows will come when Javed discovers what he has done. Jamal's final question is, by coincidence, the name of the third musketeer in The Three Musketeers, a fact he never learned. Jamal uses his Phone-A-Friend lifeline to call Salim's cell. Latika succeeds in answering the phone just in the nick of time, and, while she does not know the answer, tells Jamal that she is safe. Relieved, Jamal randomly picks Aramis, the right answer, and wins the grand prize. Simultaneously, Javed discovers that Salim has helped Latika escape after he hears Latika on the show. He and his men break down the bathroom door, and Salim kills Javed, followed by Salim's death at the hand of Javed's men. With his dying breath, Salim gasps that God is great. Later that night, Jamal and Latika meet at the railway station and kiss. The movie ends with a dance scene on the platform to "Jai Ho."

A Big Stack of Papers
After being out of the office last week, when I got back in the office on Monday, I was greeted by a big stack of papers. I received applications for our home ownership program. I received additional information that I had requested from applicants. I received information I had requested from some of our Partner Families. It all added up to a big pile of papers.
I made a dent in this stack of papers today. I think I got about half-way through the stack. It was a bit crazy trying to figure out what was going with some of stuff that I had been sent. I returned several phone calls and left several messages with people.
Although it was a bit overwhelming when I faced that big stack of papers, I also realized that each piece of paper represented a family in need of safe, decent, affordable housing. I realized that I have the privilege of serving these families and helping them to move from poverty housing. So, while I was overwhelmed, I jumped right in went to work.
I always take the time to pray before I look at a new application. I pray for the family and their current circumstances. I pray that I will have wisdom as I look at the application. I pray that even if Habitat is not able to help the applicant family, they may know that they are loved. I pray that my interaction with each family will be encouraging and bring them hope in life.
While I don't ever like to send denial letters, I always try to be sure that applicants know that a denial now does not mean a denial forever in our program. I try to refer them to other agencies if I can. I also try to encourage them to apply again if their circumstances change. While Habitat is not for everyone, there are many who just need time to make a few changes in their circumstances and then they may qualify in the future.
I continue to give God thanks and praise for leading me to this work. I thank God for the opportunity I have to serve families in need. I thank God for the lessons that the poor have to teach me. I thank God for this ministry.
Thanks for being a part of my journey!

Wordless Wednesday
Phineas and Ferb - Season 1 Complete
PLOT
The show follows the adventures of stepbrothers Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher, who live in the town of Danville, somewhere in the Tri-State area. Their older sister, Candace Flynn, is obsessed with two things throughout the show. One is "busting" Phineas and Ferb's schemes and ideas, usually calling their mother to report the boys' activities, but is never successful in "busting" her brothers.
Her second obsession is a boy named Jeremy who she tries to impress constantly but is often times embarrassed in front of him. Meanwhile, the boys' pet platypus, Perry, acts as a secret agent for an all-animal government organization called the "O.W.C.A." (Organization Without a Cool Acronym), fighting Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz. On every opening Candace will appear and break the fourth wall by saying "Mom! Phineas and Ferb are making a title sequence!"
Much of the series' humor relies on running gags used in every episode with slight variation.For example, several episodes feature an adult asking Phineas if he is too young to be performing some complex activity, to which he responds "Yes, yes I am." Other times, there are two other characters who say the same thing (e.g., Isabella and Gretchen in "Isabella and the Temple of Sap"). Also, Phineas and Ferb, along with other characters, before starting their inventions, ask, "Hey, where's Perry?". Perry and Doofenshmirtz's confrontations generally lead to the destruction or disappearance of whatever Phineas and Ferb are constructing or taking part in that day.Another gag occurs when two adults are talking to each other about a mistake made earlier.
The sentence usually ends with "What did you think a new (whatever the mistake was) is just gonna fall out of the sky!?", then whatever it was falls out of the sky. Other running gags include catchphrases, such as Phineas' line "Hey Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today," and Doofenshmirtz's "Curse you, Perry the Platypus!" or "Behold, the ____-inator (whatever it is that he had invented for the day for his evil purposes)!" or "Whatcha Doin'?" normally said by Isabella. Also, Candace catchphrase were usually "Mom!/Mom,Dad! Phineas and Ferb are..." and "That's it, I'm calling Mom /Dad!" or "Wait till Mom sees this!" before dialling on her cellphone to call their mother.
One final recurring joke is the fact that the parent's are heading off to some event for the day leaving the kids alone and return to offer the kids a snack after a failed bust attempt. Other animated gags are the floating baby head, which appears as a gag almost as much as some recurring characters, and a zebra that is always calling Candace "Kevin". Another recurring theme is Dr. Doofenshmirtz occasionally returns to the fact that he needs to "unplug shrinkinator" even though he actually never presented a shrinkinator to Perry the Platypus.

Titanic Movie 1997 ( James Cameron)
In 1996, treasure hunter Brock Lovett and his team explore the wreck of the RMS Titanic, searching for a necklace called the Heart of the Ocean. They believe the necklace is in Caledon "Cal" Hockley's safe, which they recover. Instead of the diamond, they find a sketch of a nude woman wearing it, dated April 14, 1912, the night the Titanic hit the iceberg. Rose Dawson Calvert learns of the drawing, contacts Lovett, and tells him that she is the woman depicted. She and her granddaughter Elizabeth "Lizzy" Calvert visit Lovett and his team on his salvage ship. When asked if she knows the whereabouts of the necklace, Rose recalls her memories aboard the Titanic, revealing that she is Rose DeWitt Bukater, a passenger believed to have died in the sinking.
In 1912, 17-year-old upper class Rose boards the ship in Southampton, England with her fiancé Cal, the son of a Pittsburgh steel tycoon, and her mother, Ruth DeWitt Bukater. Cal and Ruth stress the importance of Rose's engagement, because the marriage will solve the DeWitt Bukaters' financial problems. Distraught by her engagement to Cal and the pressure her mother is putting on her, Rose considers suicide by jumping off the stern of the ship. Before she leaps, a drifter and artist named Jack Dawson intervenes and persuades her not to jump. Jack and Rose develop a tentative friendship.
Cal and Ruth forbid that Rose see Jack. She defies them, meets Jack at the bow of the ship, and decides that she prefers him to Cal. They go to Rose's stateroom and she asks Jack to sketch her wearing nothing but the Heart of the Ocean, an engagement present from Cal. Afterward, the two flee Cal's bodyguard into the ship's cargo hold, where they make love, and then to the ship's forward well deck. There they witness the ship's collision with an iceberg and overhear the ship's officers and designer discussing its seriousness; Rose tells Jack they should warn her mother and Cal.
Cal discovers Jack's drawing and a note in his safe along with the necklace, so he has the Heart of the Ocean slipped into Jack's coat pocket, framing him for stealing it. Jack is arrested, taken down to the Master-at-arms's office and handcuffed to a pipe. Cal puts the necklace in his coat but later gives the coat, and unwittingly the necklace, to Rose. Rose runs away from Cal and her mother (who has boarded a lifeboat) to break Jack free with an axe.
Jack and Rose struggle back to the deck where Cal and Jack persuade her to board another lifeboat, Cal claiming that he has made an arrangement that will allow both men to get off safely. After she boards, Cal doublecrosses Jack. Realizing that she cannot leave Jack, Rose reunites with him back on board Titanic. Infuriated, Cal takes a pistol and chases them into the flooding first-class dining saloon. After running out of ammunition, Cal returns to the boat deck and boards a lifeboat by pretending to look after an abandoned child.
As Jack and Rose return to the top deck, the lifeboats have all departed and passengers are falling to their deaths. The two take refuge on the stern as the ship sinks bow-first until they are washed overboard. Jack helps Rose onto a nearby wall panel that will only support one person’s weight. As he hangs onto the panel, he assures her that she will not die there and will instead die an old woman, warm in her bed. Jack eventually dies from hypothermia.
When a rescue boat returns to the site of the sinking, Rose blows a whistle taken from the uniform of a nearby deceased officer, and is taken by the RMS Carpathia to New York, where she gives her name as Rose Dawson. Hidden, she avoids Cal for the last time on Carpathia's deck as he searches for her. Old Rose mentions that Cal eventually commits suicide.
Her story complete, Rose goes alone to the stern of Lovett's ship. There she reveals the Heart of the Ocean has been in her possession all this time, and drops it into the ocean. Later, while seemingly asleep in her bed, the photos of her days surround her, a visual chronicle that she lived the life she wanted with Jack. The young Rose is then seen reuniting with Jack at the Grand Staircase of the Titanic, cheered and congratulated by those who perished on the ship.

If you click on this link, you can view a media presentation from the Habitat for Humanity Conference I attended last week in Atlanta. While it is geared toward Habitat employees and volunteers, it also does a great job of telling the story of what Habitat has been and is doing in the world to eliminate poverty housing. I continue to be so grateful to be a part of such a wonderful organization. I thank God every day for leading me to TriState Habitat for Humanity and for the work and ministry that I have the privilege to do every day. I hope you enjoy the presentation. Thanks for being a part of my journey!

Tangled 2010 (Walt Disney)
As the pregnant queen of a royal kingdom falls ill, her guards begin searching the land for a cure. They come across magical healing flower that, unknowing to them, was secretly used for centuries by Gothel, an elderly woman, to stay young. The flower heals the queen and sometime later she gives birth to a girl named Rapunzel with golden hair. Gothel learns that Rapunzel's golden hair retains the flower's healing abilities, but if cut, it turns brown and loses it magical power. One night, Gothel kidnaps Rapunzel and isolates the child in a tower by raising her as her own daughter so she can continue harnessing the flower (now Rapunzel's hair)'s healing power. However, every year on Rapunzel's birthday, the kingdom sends thousands of sky lanterns into the sky longing for their lost princess to return.
Upon her eighteenth birthday, Rapunzel asks Gothel to let her see the floating lights on her birthday, but Gothel denies her request, saying the world is full of dangers and bad people. Meanwhile, thieves led by Flynn Rider steal the tiara of the missing princess from the castle. Flynn abandons his accomplices and stumbles upon Rapunzel's tower, choosing it as a hideout. During the chase, the lead guard's horse, Maximus, is separated from his rider and continues the search for Flynn on his own. Once inside the tower, Flynn is knocked unconscious by Rapunzel who places him in her wardrobe and hides his satchel.
When Gothel returns, Rapunzel says that she wants a special paint for her birthday instead. Gothel agrees, even though it takes a three-day round trip to retrieve the ingredients for the special paint. After Gothel leaves, Rapunzel makes a deal with Flynn — if he escorts her to the lights and back, she will return the satchel with the tiara. Rapunzel is soon conflicted between her freedom and her guilt of disobedience. While traveling, the two visit the Snuggly Duckling Parlor, which appears to be full of thugs, just like Gothel warned Rapunzel about, but they eventually become friendly with Rapunzel.
Gothel learns of the pursuit of Flynn Rider; she is worried about Rapunzel and returns to the tower but finds Rapunzel gone. Meanwhile, the guards intrude the tavern, but the thugs help the pair escape. The pursuit ends at a dam which Maximus causes to collapse. The pair is trapped in a flooding cave where Flynn is injured while trying to escape. Fortunately, Rapunzel's glowing hair allows them to find a way out. Later around a campfire, Rapunzel heals Flynn's cut, and they talk about their lives. When Flynn goes off to gather more firewood, Gothel secretly meets Rapunzel who tells Gothel she has mutual feelings with Flynn. Gothel tells Rapunzel that Flynn is only after the tiara so, giving her the satchel, she tells Rapunzel to test Flynn before he leaves.
The next morning, Maximus confronts Flynn, but Rapunzel befriends the horse stating that she wants Maximus and Flynn to not chase each other on her birthday. The group arrives at the royal kingdom and, that night, Flynn takes Rapunzel to watch the lanterns rise from a boat on a lake. There, Rapunzel, keeping her promise, returns Flynn his satchel. Flynn sees his former accomplices leaves Rapunzel waiting at the boat as he gives them the tiara back. However, the pair knocks him out, tie him on a boat and sails him across the lake. They reveal Flynn's "betrayal" to Rapunzel before they try to kidnap her in knowledge of her hair's power, but she is rescued by Gothel and returns Rapunzel to the tower. Later, Flynn is arrested and sentenced to be hanged. Maximus, who witnessess Flynn's arrest, brings The Snuggly Duckling regulars to rescue Flynn as Maximus takes Flynn to Rapunzel's tower.
Rapunzel, still heartbroken while remembering her adventure with Flynn, realizes that she is the long-lost princess and attempts to abandon Gothel. When Flynn arrives and discovers Rapunzel in bound as Gothel stabs him. Rapunzel promises Gothel to keep fighting her unless she allows her to heal Flynn's wound. Gothel agrees, but Flynn, knowing that Rapunzel always keeps her promises, uses his last of his strength to cut Rapunzel's hair short with a piece of broken mirror. Rapunzel's hair turns brown and loses its magic before she has a chance to heal him. Gothel rapidly begins to age and falls from the tower turning into dust after Pascal trips Gothel with Rapunzel's hair. Flynn slowly dies in Rapunzel's arms as she cries over Flynn's body and sings the final verse of the healing song; a teardrop, filled with the flower's magic, lands on his cheek and revives him. They then journey back to the kingdom where royal family has a tearful reunion, the king and queen pulling Flynn into their embrace for returning their daughter to them. Years after, Flynn and Rapunzel are married, the pub thugs fulfill their individual dreams and Maximus becomes a respected official on the Royal Guard

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is a 2010
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is a 2010 sword-and-sorcery action film written by Jordan Mechner, Boaz Yakin, Doug Miro, and Carlo Bernard; directed by Mike Newell; produced by Jerry Bruckheimer; and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. The film is a retelling of the 2003 video game of the same name, developed and released by Ubisoft Montreal.
The film stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Prince Dastan, Gemma Arterton as Princess Tamina, Ben Kingsley as Nizam, and Alfred Molina as Sheik Amar.
The film has the same title as the video game Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, and is primarily based on it. Elements from Prince of Persia: Warrior Within and Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones, two other titles from the Prince of Persia video game franchise, are also incorporated. However, apart from the basic elements such as treachery and the Sands of Time, the film's plot is quite distinct from that of the video game franchise. For example, the film is focused on stopping the antagonist from releasing the Sands, whereas in the game the Prince must fight past hordes of sand monsters to seal the Sands of Time back into the hourglass.

WALL-E 2008 Hollywood Movie
WALL-E, promoted with an interpunct as WALL·E, is a 2008 American computer-animated science fiction film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and directed by Andrew Stanton. The story follows a robot named WALL-E, who is designed to clean up a waste-covered Earth far in the future. He eventually falls in love with another robot named EVE, and follows her into outer space on an adventure that changes the destiny of both his kind and humanity.
After directing Finding Nemo, Stanton felt Pixar had created believable simulations of underwater physics and was willing to direct a film largely set in space. Most of the characters do not have actual human voices, but instead communicate with body language and robotic sounds, designed by Ben Burtt, that resemble voices. In addition, it is the first animated feature by Pixar to have segments featuring live-action characters.
Walt Disney Pictures released it in the United States and Canada on June 27, 2008. The film grossed $23.2 million on its opening day, and $63.1 million during its opening weekend in 3,992 theaters, ranking #1 at the box office. This ranks as the fifth highest-grossing opening weekend for a Pixar film. Following Pixar tradition, WALL-E was paired with a short film, Presto, for its theatrical release.
WALL-E has been met with overwhelmingly positive reviews among critics, scoring an approval rating of 96% on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. It grossed $521.3 million worldwide, won the 2008 Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film, the 2009 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, Long Form,[3] the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature as well as being nominated for five other Academy Awards at the 81st Academy Awards. WALL-E ranks first in TIME's "Best Movies of the Decade.

Chicken Little
In the small town of Oakey Oaks, Chicken Little (Zach Braff) rings the school bell and cries for everyone to run for their lives. This sends the whole town into a frenzied panic. Eventually they calm down enough to ask him what's wrong, and Chicken Little explains that a piece of the sky shaped like a stop sign had fallen on his head when he was sitting under the big Oak tree in the town square. However, he's unable to find the piece. His father, Buck Cluck, assumes that this "piece of sky" was just an acorn that had fallen off the tree and had hit him on the head. Chicken Little becomes the laughing stock of the town.
A year later, Little has become infamous in the town for being crazy. His only friends are outcasts like himself: Abby Mallard, (who has a crush on Chicken Little); Runt of the Litter, who is extremely large; and Fish out of Water, who wears a helmet full of tap water.
Trying to help, Abby tells Little to talk to his dad, when Little wants his dad to be proud of him. Instead, Chicken Little joins his school's baseball team in an attempt to recover his reputation and his father's pride, but is made last until the ninth inning of the last game. Chicken Little is reluctantly called to bat by the coach, even though he's certain that he'll lose the game for them. Little is able to hit the ball and make it past first, second, and third bases but is met at home plate by the outfielders. He tries sliding onto home plate but is touched by the ball. It is presumed that he lost the game, but the umpire brushes away the dust to reveal that Chicken Little's foot was just barely touching home plate, thus declaring Little safe and the game won. Little is hailed as a hero for winning the pennant.
But that night back at home, he is hit on the head by the same "piece of the sky" -- only to find out that it is not a piece of the sky but a device which blends into the background (which would thereby explain why Chicken Little was unable to find it last time). He calls his friends over to help figure out what it is.
When Fish pushes a button on the back of the hexagon it flies into the sky. It turns out to be part of the camouflage of an invisible UFO. Little manages to ring the bell to warn everyone, but the aliens see the crowds coming and manage to escape, leaving an orange alien child behind. No one believes the story of the alien invasion, and Little is ridiculed yet again until the next day. He and his friends discover the orange alien, and a few minutes later a whole fleet of alien ships descends on the town and start what appears to be an invasion.
The invasion is actually a misunderstanding, as two aliens are looking for their lost child and attack only out of concern. As the aliens rampage throughout Oakey Oaks, vaporizing everything in their path, Little realizes he must return the alien to his parents to save the planet. First, though, he's forced to confront his father and regain his trust.
In the invasion, Buck, now regaining his pride and trust in Little, defends him from the aliens until they get vaporized. It is then discovered that the aliens weren't vaporizing people, the ray guns teleported them aboard the UFO. Afterwards, the aliens return everything (except Foxy Loxy) to normal, and everyone is grateful for Chicken Little's efforts to save the town.
The Jungle Book 2
Mowgli is in the Man Village, living with his adoptive parents and new little brother, Ranjan. He has become friends with Shanti, the girl who lured Mowgli into the Man Village. After Mowgli gets in trouble, he blames Shanti and won't talk to her, then Mowgli starts to miss the jungle. After an escape from a stampede of elephants, Baloo sneaks into the Man Village - unnoticed by the villagers - to visit Mowgli. Also, Mowgli's old arch enemy, Shere Khan, returns for his revenge. Meanwhile, Shanti tries to apologize to Mowgli, but she sees Baloo with Mowgli, and shrieks for help. Shere Khan sneaks into the village and everyone thinks he's the wild animal. After Baloo and Mowgli escape into the jungle, Shanti, believing her friend was kidnapped, follows them. Kaa spots Mowgli and Baloo talking, and attempts to eat him. But, fortunately, he fails.
Later, Kaa spots Shanti alone, and tries to eat her. He manages to subdue her with his hypnotic stare, which causes her hands to hang loosely at her sides, and to not be able to look away, until Ranjan comes forward and pulls Shanti away in time, releasing her from Kaa's trance. Ranjan starts beating Kaa with a stick, and Kaa ends up accidentally swallowing a large rock. The weight of the rock makes his coils fall on top of him. While Ranjan keeps hitting Kaa, Shanti grabs him to get away from the snake. Ranjan soon scares Kaa from behind, and causes Kaa to fall off a nearby cliff and into a coconut tree, and Shanti and Ranjan soon leave. Mowgli seems to enjoy the jungle as he used to and tells Baloo about his life in the Man Village and Shanti. Soon, Mowgli's old panther guardian, Bagheera, figures out that Mowgli had escaped the Man Village with Baloo, and he tries to find him. Shanti and Ranjan are still looking for Mowgli, then get lost in the jungle. They soon find Mowgli sadly sitting in a tree and when he sees Shanti, he falls into some vines and gets tangled. Baloo finds them and scares Shanti. Shanti learns that Mowgli told Baloo to scare her, and she gets angry at him and runs away with Ranjan. Mowgli gets angry at Baloo for scaring Shanti and goes after them. He finds them and wants to explain, but Shanti points to Shere Khan, who is behind him. The children run and Mowgli tells Shanti and Ranjan to stay put in a bush.
Shanti goes to help Mowgli and Ranjan encounters Baloo when he tries to follow Shanti. He tries to run away, but Baloo tells him to calm down and asks him where Mowgli is. Ranjan shouts "Shere Khan!" and they run after Mowgli. Mowgli finds an ancient temple and hides. Baloo and Ranjan run into Bagheera, whom Baloo leaves Ranjan with when they arrive at the temple, which Shanti has arrived at as well. She and Baloo encounter each other and soon learn that they are on the same side and split up. Baloo begins banging on a gong, soon being joined by Shanti and Mowgli each in their hiding places and confuse Shere Khan. Shanti's gong falls down and Shere Khan threatens her. Mowgli comes out of his hiding place and Shere Khan runs towards him. Mowgli begins to run and Baloo pushes Shere Khan away. Mowgli and Shanti run up a staircase, soon being followed by Shere Khan after Baloo tries to stop him again and soon run into a crater and jump across and land on a tiger head statue. Shere Khan jumps onto the tiger head which starts to fall. Shere Khan falls and lands on a rock and the tiger head lands down trapping him inside. Mowgli and Shanti fall too but are saved by Baloo. Meanwhile, Lucky, a new member of the vultures, comes down and begins to tease Shere Khan. They soon return to their families and go back to the village. Not long after returning to the village, Mowgli, Shanti and Ranjan secretly return to the jungle to spend some time with their new jungle family, unaware that Mowgli and Ranjan's parents know where they're going.

Disney's The Kid Movie
Russ Duritz works as an image consultant, but he is a jerk to people and has a strained relationship with his father. One day, he sees a red plane flying over his head but no one else seems to have seen it.
Later, he and his assistant Amy meet a stadium manager named Bob Riley. Riley had promised to set aside 5% of the ticket sales to fund a baseball camp for disadvantaged kids, but he actually kept the money. So Russ has them make a video of some children throwing pie at Riley, to get him off the hook.
Afterwards, in a Japanese restaurant Amy feels that the video is unethical, and Russ throws the tape away at first, but he secretly retrieves it (offscreen).
When Russ gets home he sees a shadow of a kid, and he immediately calls his secretary to change his house security system. She replies that he is being paranoid and that it could be a neighbor's child. He hears someone inside his house and gets out of bed to investigate when he finds a toy plane with the name Rusty on it on his front step which he assumes had been left there by his father for him. Russ goes back to bed and wakes up hearing noises again. He then walks around the house until he finds the kid and begins a chase through the house. They go to the streets and reach the airport where he sees the kid entering a "Skyway Diner;" he tries to catch him there but no one inside has seen the kid. When Russ walks outside looking for the kid, he turns around to look back at the diner, but it has vanished. He thinks he is hallucinating again.
So the next day Russ goes to a psychiatrist and tells her that he only needs five minutes and a powerful medicine to stop his hallucinations. After refusing the whole psychology session he gets his pills and leaves.
He turns the TV on and watches the news, but after he goes to the kitchen the channel has changed to Ed, Edd n Eddy. He then surprises the kid in his couch eating his popcorn. He asks the kid who he is and what has he come for, to which the kid replies to take his toy plane, but that when he saw the TV and the popcorn he couldn't resist. Russ then asks the boy his name and finds out it's his own.
Both begin comparing memories and scars and figure out that Rusty is Russ as a kid.
Rusty then starts asking Russ things such as if he has a dog named Chester, whom Rusty has dreamed of owning, if he has become a pilot, and if Russ has a wife. Russ replies that he can't handle dogs with his constant traveling, that he is not a pilot but an image consultant, and that has no wife. Rusty tells him that he dislikes his future.
The next day, when Amy finds out about the kid, she likes him and wants to take him to eat ice cream but Russ makes fun of his weight. Rusty then recalls some bullies bothering him the same way, so Russ brings him to a client's boxing ring and teaches him to fight.
Amy starts wondering about Russ and Rusty's similarities and begins to think they are father and son. After shouting at Russ for hiding such a secret from her, both Russ and Rusty finally decide to tell her the truth, though they end up arguing instead. Amy watches Rusty and Russ argue and sees the two fighting, arguing, gesturing the same way, at which she faints.
Later, Russ and Amy talk about who will take care of him during his client's wedding and Amy proposes to take him but Russ says he will humiliate him. Rusty falls during the wedding ceremony, and at the reception, he asks Amy to marry him. She thinks it's Russ sending her the message.
When she finds out that Russ saved and aired the Riley tape, she gets mad at him. She tells him that he should try to learn more from Rusty and leaves disappointed.
Russ finally decides to cancel all of his appointments and spend an afternoon trying to find out why Rusty is there and what he needs to fix from the past. He recalls a fight he will have on his birthday. That makes them go back to 1968.
Rusty wins that fight and saves the life of a three-legged dog called Tripod, but then Russ remembers that that wasn't the worst part of the day. He remembers that his mother who was sick came to school for him. When they get home, Rusty's father angrily goes to Russ saying "Are you trying to kill her faster?!" Rusty cries and his father rubs Rusty's eyes painfully causing Rusty to have a lifelong facial tic. Russ tells Rusty that his mother will die before his next birthday, then comforts him. Russ tells Rusty that his father was angry and scared because of the huge responsibility of raising a kid alone.
They go to the "Skyway Diner" and keep talking about the fight, congratulating each other on their birthday. Suddenly a dog comes in and goes directly to Rusty. They hear a man call the dog Chester, they both follow him and find out that the red plane is Russ's plane and that the man with the dog is Russ and that they really changed the future and that Russ would, in late middle age, be a pilot, have a wife (Amy) and a dog named Chester. Then Russ returns to his time, arranges plans to see his dad, buys tickets to Hawaii for his secretary, and goes to Amy's house with a dog. The movie ends as she invites him in.

Dinosaur Movie 2000
The film opens with an Iguanodon mother forced to abandon her nest, with only one egg surviving a carnivorous Carnotaur attack. The egg is taken by an Oviraptor, who drops it into a river, and finally is taken by a Pteranodon to an island inhabited by lemurs, who name the baby dinosaur Aladar and raise him as their own. As an adult, the island is destroyed by a meteor shower, with only Aladar, his grandfather Yar, his mother Plio, his best friend Zini, and his sister Suri surviving the destruction of the island by swimming to the mainland.
The family meets a multi-species herd of dinosaurs led by the Iguanodon Kron and his lieutenant Bruton, who are on a journey to reach “The Nesting Grounds,” a valley believed to be untouched by the devastation of the meteor impact. Aladar and the lemurs befriend a trio of elderly dinosaurs: Baylene, a Brachiosaurus, Eema, a Styracosaurus, and Url, Eema's dog-like pet Ankylosaurus. Aladar also develops romantic feelings for Neera, Kron's sister but she is uninterested. The herd arrives at a lake they’ve relied on for past trips, but it has dried up. Aladar saves the herd from dehydration when he and Baylene eventually dig up the trapped water beneath the ground. Aladar and Neera eventually fall in love after Neera sees Aladar helping the dinosaurs (especially the elderly ones) survive; however, Bruton, having been sent by Kron to find water upon arrival at the lake, returns injured by a pair of Carnotaurs, who have been stalking the herd. Kron evacuates the herd from the lake bed in a rush, leaving Aladar, the lemurs, the elderly dinosaurs, and the injured Bruton behind.
The small group recuperates in a cave during a rainstorm, with Bruton eventually befriending them. When the Carnotaur pair attacks, Bruton’s loyalty is proven when he sacrifices himself to kill one of them as the others escape to the depths of the caves. Upon reaching a dead end, Aladar begins to lose hope, after repeated failures and the loss of Bruton. His friends all join in breaking down the dead end, stabilizing his confidence. The dead end actually leads to the breeding grounds, where Eema sees that the old entrance – where the herd has gathered on the other side – has been blocked by a landslide.
Aladar rushes to find the herd on the other side being directed by Kron to climb the rocks, but when he suggests the alternate route he found, Kron battles him for leadership of the herd. Neera defends Aladar from her brother, and leaves with Aladar and the herd following. The surviving Carnotaur confronts them, but Aladar rallies the herd to drive it off by standing together and scaring it off with intimidation. The Carnotaur spots Kron climbing the rocks alone, and is followed by Neera and Aladar as it charges to kill the former leader of the herd. In the ensuing fight, Kron is killed by the Carnotaur, but a brave Aladar is able to push the predator off a cliff to its death. Aladar and Neera lead the herd back to the Nesting Grounds, where the two eventually mate and have children, and the lemurs find more of their own kind. Plio narrates the ending, wishing for their story to be remembered in history.
Tiger Heart (1995)
The film starts in Christopher Robin's room. The narrator is about to tell a story about Winnie the Pooh, from a book, when he is interrupted, by Tigger. Tigger, who is tired of all the stories being about Pooh, then proceeds to rearrange some of the letters in the title to spell out The Tigger Movie, like ripping a "W" snapping some vines, and placing "THE" on a different spot. Tigger then bounces into the book, and the story begins.
While trying to find somebody to play with, Tigger gleefully bounces around the Hundred Acre Wood, disrupting his friends' attempts to prepare for the winter and accidentally causing a huge rock to fall on Eeyore's house. Rabbit leads the others with a highly over complicated plan (seeing as how Eeyore's house is nothing but a pile of sticks, and it would be much easier just to rebuild it) in trying to remove it with an elaborate pulley system (which collapses) and Tigger intervenes, knocking the rock away with his Whoopty-Dooper-Loopty-Looper-Alley-Ooper bounce and getting everyone covered in mud and mad at him, particularly Rabbit, who is annoyed that his pulley system was ruined by Tigger's bouncing. Feeling alone, Tigger sulks on a bridge and Roo, trying to cheer him up, asks if there are other Tiggers. Fascinated by the idea, Tigger talks to Owl, who explains about family trees. Tigger, taking this literally, heads out to find a huge stripey tree and, after not finding one, instead writes a letter to his family. No reply comes and Tigger feels more alone then ever.
That night, the first night of winter, everybody (excluding Tigger) gathers at Piglet's house. Feeling sorry for him, Roo announces that they should write a letter to him. Everyone adds a bit of friendly advice before signing 'your family' at the bottom of the page. Roo then slips the letter into Tigger's letter box. The next day, everybody is woken by Tigger, who brandishes the letter. He shouts joyfully that his family has written to him and also that they are coming to visit the next evening. They are all shocked, as they had never written down anything that even resembles that; nevertheless, Tigger replies that he always reads between the lines. Later, Roo gathers Pooh, Piglet, Owl and Eeyore over to his home. He and his mother Kanga say they are going to charade as fellow Tiggers to attend the party and make Tigger feel loved. They are halfway through making the costumes when Rabbit bursts through the door, telling them that they should be gathering supplies (or should already have) for the impending snowstorm. Meanwhile, Tigger is preparing for his party when somebody rings the doorbell. He opens the door to reveal a large number of Tiggers who claim to be his family. A party ensues with drinks, dance and games, and all the while Tigger believes they are his family. Yet when the smallest (Roo) attempts the Whoopty-Dooper Loopty-Looper Ally-Ooper Bounce and his mask falls off, the others reveal themselves as Tigger's friends. In despair, now sure that he must truly be the One and Only, he leaves the room, stating that he is leaving forever. He hikes through the snow until he finds a large tree on the cliffside which matches the description he gave of his family tree (A giant pine tree with the snow giving the illusion of Tigger stripes). He bounces across the branches, finding nothing, so he sits there, waiting for his family.
Meanwhile, Pooh, Roo, Piglet and Eeyore mount an expedition to find Tigger. They ask Rabbit to lead them, who initially refuses, but reluctantly agrees after seeing how much they miss their friend, especially Roo. When they find him, they tell him to return home, with Rabbit saying he should "Forget about all this other Tiggers nonsense". Tigger is greatly offended by them, but when a sudden avalanche caused by his irate shouting occurs, he pulls them all out of trouble. Unfortunately, Tigger himself is still caught in the avalanche. Roo remembers the Whoopty-Dooper Loopty Looper Ally-Ooper bounce and travels down through the rock and snow to Tigger and wakes him from unconsciousness. To get out of the avalanche, they perform the signature bounce together. When everyone tells Christopher Robin why Tigger left, Christopher tells Tigger he didn't have to leave to find his family. Tigger objects and reaches for his letter that, until recently, he believed to be from his family, but finds it missing. It is not until Owl, Kanga, Roo, Eeyore, Pooh and Piglet recite the letter for him that he realizes that they sent the letter, not his family. Hearing this, Tigger finally comes to realize what was true all along, that his family is right here and always has been: his friends. Once they return home, Tigger gives everyone gifts: Eeyore gets a new house (the guest house meant for Tigger's "Family"), Pooh gets lots of Honey, Piglet gets a stack of firewood, and Rabbit is promised that he will watch where he's going. Lastly, he gives Roo his heart pendant, but it's still empty. As the movie ends, Christopher Robin remedies this by taking a picture of Tigger's "family".
