Or perhaps you are going to "sit on the grandkids" this Valentines day? Just because you'll watch kid shows doesn't mean you can't watch a romance. Disney is chalk-full of princess movies. And if, by chance, you are watching little man-cubs, perhaps Robin Hood would be a better choice? "Love. It seems like only yesterday..."

3. Robin Hood - "Life is brief but when it's gone, love goes on and on.."
4. Enchanted - "I've been dreaming of a true loves kiss. And a prince I'm hoping comes with this."
5. Beauty and the Beast - "She glanced this way. I thought I saw.. and when we touched she didn't shudder at my paw. No it can't be. I'll just ignore. But then she's never looked at me that way before."
6. Cinderella - "Cinderella, You're as lovely as your name, Cinderella..."
7. Tangled - "I have dreams like yours. no really! Just much less touchy-feeley."

What great movie choices!! I will definitely be keeping that link for Anne of Avonlea - I remember watching it on the very old Disney channel when I was younger. Can't wait to revisit an old memory :]
