Hero's and Villain's

Just recently I introduced Taran to the Prydain Chronicles (Lloyd Alexander) and the character Taran that he is named after. With some hesitation I let him watch the Disney version of the Black Cauldron and he just thought the evil horned king was "really cool". Hmmm not what I expected. He did add that maybe he'd like to be a pig-keeper some day too.

In contrast another favorite character is Dora the Explorer and he has asked for a purple shirt and orange shorts so he can dress like her. Never a dull moment with this critter.
