    2) What was your first favorite song? The first thing I really remember in terms of music is being obsessed with The Phantom of the Opera from a really, really young age. I could sing the entire soundtrack word for word, note for note by the time I was 4. It's still very special to me.

    1) What were a few of your favorite toys from childhood?  My American girls.  I used to hide them when my friends came over so they wouldn't get messed up.  I also collected scissors (I was a rather odd child).  Actually, I still collect them, so I guess I'm a rather odd adult as well.
     
    2) What was your first favorite song?  One doesn't stick out, but Thriller by MJ was the first album I ever owned, and I played that tape until it died.
     
    3) How about your favorite movie as a kid?  I adored the Ewok movie.  I think it was made for TV?  My mom taped it for me and I watched it over and over.  I recently saw it on a list of spin-offs from famous movies that should never have been made, and I wanted to cry.

  • 1 - I had a lot of Barbies growing up.  I also remember playing with my lite brite a lot and my teddy ruxpin.  I also vaguely recall a doll that had a desk and wrote, but I don't remember what it was called.  I loved it though.

    2 - No favorite song I think.  I listened to a lot of Oldies though.  50's, 60's, and 70's.

    3 - That's a toss up between The Last Unicorn and The Princess Bride.  We wore out our copies.  Though I still remember all of the songs from the animated version of The Hobbit.

  • 1. I (still) have a Raggedy Ann and Andy doll set that I love(d). I took Andy with me everywhere, but Ann had to stay in my room, so her dress didn't get dirty! Now they both live in a trunk and I can't throw them away.

    2. "Kokomo" by the Beach Boys. I sang it all the time!

    3. Many of the movies already listed. Especially Sound of Music.
