I have been a huge movie buff since my childhood (Disney movie buff to be precise). The snowfalls, Christmas decoration, love & hope, family reunions, princess lifestyle, and fairytales have always lured me to watch some of the finest movies created for kids. And when my daughter was born, I was so curious to see if my daughter would also share this passion for watching Disney movies. And luckily, she loves it a lot. With the lockdown and us being home-bound for yet another year, we decided to subscribe to Netflix recently. Yes, don’t be surprised. We didn’t have Netflix before this. But I am so glad we finally hopped on the Netflix train.
