neutral · AI labelView post →The Parent Trap is really the only movie that captures what it’s like when your dad wants to marry some dumb slut he’s only known for 6 weeks
positive · AI labelView post →As a film bro from birth, when I was 4 years old I asked Santa for a copy of The Parent Trap. To my surprise, Santa came to our preschool to give us our gifts and so while all the other little kids played with their new toys I just sort of sat stared at my Parent Trap VHS in a pre-literate state

neutral · AI labelView post →Born 18 April 1946, actress Hayley Mills. She appeared in 6 films for Disney, including twins Susan and Sharon in the Disney film The Parent Trap. Her performance in Whistle Down the Wind (1961), an adaptation of the novel written by her mother, saw her nominated for a BAFTA Award. #HayleyMills
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching The Parent Trap Brain: it is just a kids movie, it’s not meant to be serious Me: no this is fucked, you can’t just be like “we’re getting divorced, but custody is easy - we just each keep a kid” Brain: right so it’s just a movie- Me: this is so traumatic for everyone
neutral · AI labelView post →#MusicChallenge #MemoryMusic 11. Children’s Song Let’s Get Together Hayley Mills song in The Parent Trap - original movie album: The Sherman Brothers Songbook Hayley Mills was my childhood fav💕 Hers & other Disney 🎥 of that era. On 📺 or at 7th St Theater Fort Worth youtu.be/6Fu4jkhshLY?...
neutral · AI labelView post →Our granddaughter hasn’t met my husband’s twin in person yet, but she saw a picture of them and said “Two Gramps??” Me: They’re twins. Her: Grandma! That’s just like the girls in the movie! (We had watched the Parent Trap earlier. 😂)
neutral · AI labelView post →Y’all. Hayley Mills is in TRAP because she was in THE PARENT TRAP and this movie is about a literal parent trap. 🤣
neutral · AI labelView post →The beat up old recording of the 1986 Wonderful World of Disney movie, The Parent Trap II, was 1 of my most watched VHS tapes in childhood. It’s also the 1st film that I saw Tom Skerritt in. Over the years, I found myself oddly, increasingly drawn to his laid back charm - which was easy & real. #RIP
neutral · AI labelView post →64 years ago today, Walt Disney Productions released "The Parent Trap", with Haley Mills in her dual role, Maureen O'Hara, and Brian Keith. Songs by the Sherman brothers. They got together, yeah, yeah, yeah. #Disney #DisBlue #DisSky
neutral · AI labelView post →I just got a message from Dean Cundey’s wife saying that Nancy Meyers sent them my latest video about The Parent Trap, and they loved it. Dean shot every movie that made me fall in love with filmmaking. I think I should just retire now. 🥲

positive · AI labelView post →Rewatching OUIJA: ORIGIN OF EVIL and it's unreal how magnetic Lulu Wilson is in this movie. The BECKY films really let her shine but she has always had IT. Reminds me of seeing Lindsay Lohan in THE PARENT TRAP or Alicia Silverstone in THE CRUSH. Just nailing it out the gate.
neutral · AI labelView post →So my entertainment for the last week or so has only included watching one new-to-me film, and that was the Parent Trap remake, which required no thought at all. (The other films I've watched in the last week were It's Trad, Dad!, The Wizard of Oz, and Citizen Kane)
neutral · AI labelView post →You’re not missing much. He’s had a few good roles that were in his wheelhouse - playing a baseball pitcher or an admiral, and in “The Parent Trap” - but for most part he is the philandering movie actor that never stays loyal to his wife & always has to trade her in for a younger model. Very Trumpy.
neutral · AI labelView post →3.) tell me your favorite movie as a kid. The Parent Trap
neutral · AI labelView post →Probably one of the—if not *the*—most played recorded VHS tapes we owned. The Parent Trap II and Harriet the Spy would be the runner-up slots The Wonderful World of Disney was responsible for a respectable chunk of our collection
positive · AI labelView post →ARE PARENTS PEOPLE? is a divorce dramedy in the Parent Trap style: a kid gets her parents back together. The film itself is so-so but George Beranger steals the show as a Valentino-esque film star who preens and flirts and cannot shut up about his sexy new picture The Love Brute.
neutral · AI labelView post →the bluesky film people should review the great cinematic work that is The Parent Trap (1998)
neutral · AI labelView post →I saw SNAKE EYES in the theater. We were all a little confused when all the trailers were for kids movies. We were even more confused when the movie started with the Walt Disney logo… They accidentally started showing the Parent Trap remake. We all got free passes for another movie. #FThisMovieFest

neutral · AI labelView post →Not sure it’s exactly high cinema, but god I love this film. Had a childhood crush on a very charming pre-Company Dean Jones. Unfortunately, unlike The Parent Trap, this film’s 90s remake wasn’t nearly as charming and didn’t exactly reinvigorate interest in the original property.
positive · AI labelView post →Wishing #HayleyMills a happy birthday♥️! I will watch any Hayley Mills film, but favorites are prob. THE PARENT TRAP, POLLYANNA, & THE TROUBLE WITH ANGELS (Directed by Ida Lupino!). Was the last to win the juvenile Oscar-POLLYANNA. Also won a Golden Globe #TCMParty #FilmSky📽️ #MovieSky
neutral · AI labelView post →Post a scene from a film you've seen more than 10 times. Martin the Butler was a gay awakening for my lil 5 year old self “The Parent Trap” (1998)
positive · AI labelView post →SCALPEL is one ebulliently tawdry movie, bursting at the seams with outrageous plot twists and broken taboos. Picture EYES WITHOUT A FACE, THE PARENT TRAP, and the most sordid soap opera imaginable all mixed together in a delectably debauched cocktail. And there's even a jazz funeral!
neutral · AI labelView post →Pick a movie, keep one actor. The rest are Muppets. Eurotrip - keep Matt Damon. Ocean's Eleven - keep Andy García. The Parent Trap - keep Elaine Hendrix. The Hobbit (2012-2014) - Keep Sir Ian McKellen. The Fifth Element - keep Chris Tucker. EEAAO - keep Michelle Yeoh.

neutral · AI labelView post →Just here to say that 1998's The Parent Trap is an amazing looking film. Nancy Meyers let Dean Cundey do his *Thing* (see what I did there?), and it results in a beautiful, colourful, light and shadow canvas of a movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Disney History 7/29/1998 The Parent Trap (remake of the 1961 film starring Hayley Mills) is released. Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson star as a divorced couple who separated after their identical twin daughters' birth. Lindsay Lohan stars as the twins. Sorry, the original was better!
neutral · AI labelView post →The title is a play on the divorce drama ARE PARENTS PEOPLE? which is basically The Parent Trap with only one kid. The Parrott comedy's plot does not resemble the more dramatic film in any way.
neutral · AI labelView post →I had a total baby bear ask me if I knew the Parent Trap movie, “you know, the old one with Lindsay Lohan.” I disintegrated into dust on the spot

neutral · AI labelView post →So Cathleen Nesbitt who played Maureen O'Hara's mother and Hayley Mills' grandmother in the 1961 film The Parent Trap was a member of the Actresses' Franchise League in 1913. I KNEW I always liked her 😍
neutral · AI labelView post →She appeared in numerous stage shows, and was nominated for a Tony award. Her most notable film appearances include “Mrs. Doubtfire,” “The Parent Trap (1998)” and “Gremlins.”

neutral · AI labelView post →Hayley Mills departs London with her parents to film "The Parent Trap" in June 1960
neutral · AI labelView post →they also used Disney Ranch a lot for My Name is Earl, before it burned, it was a kinda historic film location - Old Yeller, The Parent Trap, The Shaggy Dog, Apple Dumpling Gang, Waltons, Little House on Pairie, Back to the Future, Zorro, Mickey Mouse Club, The A Team....
neutral · AI labelView post →These are the honorable mentions. The ones with the * are ones that are interchangeable with the ones that made the list. The ones without would remain on the main list either way. The Parent Trap suffers because it was released the same year as The Last Days of Disco, my 3rd fave film of all time.
neutral · AI labelView post →listening to an old ep of the movie podcast i listen to that’s on The Parent Trap (1998) they bring up an excellent point about how funny it is that the butler feels sort of lightly gay-coded and the nanny(?) has massive lesbian vibes, but the two are IMMEDIATELY so hot for one another
neutral · AI labelView post →The 1931 movie Emil and the Detectives (an adaptation of another book by the author of the Parent Trap, Erich Kästner) has a villain with a toothbrush mustache who looks like he’s doing a Hitler bit. But, again, 1931!
neutral · AI labelView post →Also, yes, when I was ten I was a huge fan of 1961's The Parent Trap? Granted, my favorite movie (My Fair Lady) was only 27 years old by then
neutral · AI labelView post →#AprilMovieChallenge 4/28 A movie with twins in it. The Parent Trap (1961) #filmsky 📽️ #moviesky 📽️
neutral · AI labelView post →Based on the book by Erich Kästner, one of the greats of children’s literature who is too often erased from the record. You may think you’ve never heard of him, but if you’ve seen “The Parent Trap” you’ve seen a film based on one of his books.

I actually kinda hate this, but it’s family night, it’s my youngest kid’s pick, and we have the whole ‘no veto’ deal (really shot myself in the foot with that one). 🙄🤷♂️ #FilmSky
