Born Free (1966) and follow-up with a little info...

Born Free was a film from my childhood that I just couldn't wait to see. Mostly because the song Born Free was a hit playing all the time on the crappy old AM radio that I had but partly too because I loved animals and was interested.


My daughter is ten years old and tonight I watched with her a movie called "The Fox And The Child" and it was fantastic, so I spent the last two hours trying to find these to share with her on another night.


I included some info for her to read up a little on this because I know she will and she will enjoy doing it.


Following this will be the info, then the song and then (I hope) both Born Free in full and (I hope) the followup to it called Living Free from 1972, But first some credit where it belongs. The info comes from Wiki's page [here], the site called Born Free, created by Joanna Lumley [here], YouTube hosted the music vid [here] and then StageView for hosting these vids [here].



Born Free (1966) is an Open Road Films Ltd./Columbia Pictures feature film starring Virginia McKenna and Bill Travers as Joy and George Adamson, a real-life couple who raised Elsa the Lioness an orphaned lion cub to adulthood, and released her into the wilds of Kenya. The screenplay, written by blacklisted Hollywood writer Lester Cole (under the pseudonym "Gerald L.C. Copley"), was based upon Joy Adamson's 1960 non-fictional book Born Free. The film was directed by James H. Hill and produced by Sam Jaffe and Paul Radin. Born Free, and its musical score by John Barry, won numerous awards. More---> here

Save The Tiger





This appeal comes from our hearts. Tigers are ravishing, complex creatures, with intricate lives and a myriad of personalities and life-stories. It would be a disgrace if we allow them to be hunted and persecuted to extinction. I was born in India. The country is my spiritual home and I am utterly imbued with the essence of this glowing, mysterious country. The tiger is India’s very fitting emblem. Help us - help Born Free save the tiger. Dig deep dearest friend, please. Give what you can.
Joanna Lumley, Born Free Founder Patron. More---> here.

Living Free (1972)




Hope you read on a little about Elsa, Joy  & George Adamson because it is a fantastic and true story.

Origami Rose (the best and longest version so far)

This one is offered in two versions. Regular version is for you, slowed down version is for me (I'm a little slow at this stuff).

Regular version:
NOTE: This one is 26 minutes long, LOL



Easier to follow, slowed down version:



Quote from page...
"As I don't have the 10 minute limit anymore and so many people keep whining about the other origami rose vid (design by Toshikazu Kawasaki) being too fast, I thought why not test my new camera and do a new quick origami rose vid without too much editing. Also convenient if you can't fall asleep... just watch the endless pre-creasing for this origami rose :D
Would those whining people also be brave enough to tell me they still can not make it even with this super slow motion ultra high resolution origami rose vid - just as I predicted??? ; )"

A nice Asian family movie (Fantasy)




This film is an Asian (dubbed in English) movie. It's a fantasy film with a dragon, giant moth and what I think might be fairies. Kinda like Godzilla but better effects and not so much scary but still it has in it a few suspenseful scenes.

I think you'll like it. It's hosted on Crackle [click here to watch], also Crackle has a [link] to many other decent films that you might want to check out and all of them are free.

I recommend you view this in full screen. Just click on the box in the lower right hand corner of the viewer to switch into full screen mode and enjoy.

What 9 year olds think of this decade.

It's so fascinating to hear their views. Every one of them seem enthusiastic, concerned and this world is not ours anymore. It's theirs. I think that's okay because they sound like they want to make it happen. They want to clean things up and restore what past generations have neglected.

I got this vid from a page on Yahoo news located [here] enjoy, I think you'll like it.

Dr. Seuss's Cat in a Hat

Fun song...

in English: cat, hat; in French, chat, chapeau
it really is quite obvious, don't you know?

in English: cat, hat; in French, chat, chapeau
un deux trois quatre cinq, here we go!

I repeat: cat, hat; in French, chat, chapeau
in Spanish, el gato in a sombrero

Kids
He's a cat, in a hat, he's a chat in a chapeau
he also is a gato in a sombrero
Ole! Ole! Ole Ole O!

Cat
Where were we? Oh, yes:
cat, hat; in French, chat, chapeau
in Spanish, el gato in a sombrero
and I'll tell you something more
now you listen to me good:
in German I'm a Katze und dieses ist meine Hut!
Ist das nicht eine Katze Hut?
Kids
Ja, das ist eine Katze Hut
Katze Hut, Katze Hut
Ja, das ist eine Katze Hut

Cat
Now, if you're in a receptive state -- of mind -- I'll recapitulate:
cat, hat; in French, chat, chapeau
in Spanish, el gato in a sombrero
in German I'm a Katze in a Hut, and don't you know,
I'm a guanka in a bunkaquank in Eskimo

Fish
You're a guanka in a bunkaquank in Eskimo?!?
Cat Right!
Kids
He's a guanka in a bunkaquank in Eskimo
Ist das nicht eine bunkaquank?
Ja, das ist eine bunkaquank.
Bunka Bunka Guanka Bunka
Yes indeedy that is sooooo
He's a guanka in a bunkaquank in Eskimo

Fish
Now to be certain that I have this straight,
I'll re-re-capitulate:
Cat, hat; in French, chat, chapeau
Cat Good!
Fish In Spanish you're a gato in a sombrero
Cat Ooh!
Fish
In German you're a Katze in a Hut, I also know:
You're a guanka in a bunkaquank in Eskimo.
Cat
By George, I think he's got it!
Fish
Now if you will allow me sir
but please don't think I'm pushin'
I think that I can tell you what you are
in -- in -- in Russian!
Cat What ?
Fish Shapka! Shlapa!
Cat HA!
Fish You're a shapka! In a shlapa!
Cat & Kids HEY!

Cat
I am?

Why that's splendid!

I'm………a………shapka,………in………a………shlapa,
I'm………a………shapka,………in………a………shlapa,
I'm……a……shapka………in……a……shlapa,
I'm……a……shapka………in……a……shlapa,
I'm…a…shapka……in…a…shlapa,
I'm…a…shapka……in…a…shlapa,
I'm a shapka…in a shlapa,
I'm a shapka in a shlapa,
I'mashapkainashlapa,
I'mashapkainashlapaI'mashapkainashlapa, aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!

That's enough of that...

I'm a cat in a hat.

How to Juggle from HowCast.com

I'm sure a lot of kids would find this one interesting. I hope so anyway because I'm posting this specifically for benefit of my daughter Angela. She has her own computer in her room so now she wont watch vids on dads puter and won't share hers so this is the only way I can try to get her to watch something. *smile

Here is a link to HowCasts site. It looks like a really good source of info, [link].
