Yottsu Masu (Four Square Measures)

Heather and I spent yesterday afternoon at the cinema with our 3D glasses on, watching Beauty and the Beast. When this film was released in 1991, my kids were 5, 7, 9 and 12. It was hard to take the whole family to the movies, but this one was worth it. The following year it was released in VHS, and we were the first family on our block to own it. Heather watched it so many times that it wore out and had to be replaced. Now we own a DVD copy, and Heather also watches it on her iPod. She has every line of dialogue and lyrics to every song completely memorized. We certainly didn’t need to see it again, but I’m glad we did; not just because we got to see Rapunzel's wedding before the feature film began. I don’t think we’ll ever tire of the “tale as old as time.”
