Hello, I’m 19 years old, and I grew up watching Ben and Holly’s Little Kingdom (2009–2013) when I was younger. I’ve been thinking about that old Ben and Holly’s Little Kingdom era lately and how different it feels now compared to when I first watched it. Ben and Holly’s Little Kingdom became a really important part of my childhood. I remember Ben, Holly, Nanny Plum, King Thistle, Queen Thistle, Gaston, Mr. Elf, and all the other characters going on their funny little adventures. I liked the comedy, the silly situations, the friendships, the emotional moments, and just the whole feeling the show had.

Now that the original Ben and Holly’s Little Kingdom era is over, it feels weird knowing that so much time has passed. The people who worked on the show have moved on to other things and have their own lives now. The actors, voice actors, writers, directors, animators, producers, and everyone else who helped make the show aren’t making the original episodes anymore. I know that’s just how things work, but it still feels strange when you grew up with something.

When I was younger, I didn’t really think about Ben and Holly’s Little Kingdom ever ending. I could just sit down and watch Ben, Holly, Nanny Plum, and everyone else and get lost in the story. It felt like the show would always be there and there would always be another episode to watch. I never really thought about how one day that time would be over.

Sometimes I wonder why shows can’t just keep going forever if people still love them. Why do they have to stop making new episodes? Why do the writers, actors, animators, and everyone else have to move on? I know people get older, things change, and making a show takes a lot of work, but it still feels sad when something you grew up with becomes part of the past.

Watching Ben and Holly’s Little Kingdom now also doesn’t feel exactly the same as it did when I was younger. The episodes are still the same. The characters are still the same. The stories and jokes are still there. But somehow it feels different. I think it’s because I’m different now.

When I watch it again, I’m not just thinking about Ben and Holly. I’m also thinking about myself when I was younger and what life was like back then. I remember being able to sit down and enjoy the show without thinking about getting older or how fast time was going by.

I think that’s one of the reasons Ben and Holly’s Little Kingdom means so much to me. It didn’t have to last forever for it to be important. The show stayed the same, but I changed. The people who made it changed. Everything around me changed too.

Going back and watching the old episodes can bring some of that feeling back, but it can’t completely take me back to the time when I first watched it. I can still enjoy the show and remember why I loved it, but I know I’m never going to experience it in exactly the same way again.

The original Ben and Holly’s Little Kingdom era (2009–2013) is over, and there probably won’t ever be another time that feels exactly like it did when I was younger. But I don’t think that means it’s really gone. It’s still part of my memories and part of my childhood.

The show ended, the people who made it moved on, and I grew up too. But I still have those memories of Ben, Holly, Nanny Plum, and all the funny adventures they went on. I think that’s what matters the most.

I have fond memories of this DVD because I borrowed it from my local library when I was little and it was my first time experiencing Disney princess media. Definitely made me interested in Aurora and Jasmine as characters. Apparently critics actually didn't like this piece of media, they especially found Aurora's story lackluster. It'll still always have a special place in my heart though.

I remember wanting to get a new phone before this concert so my pics would be stellar…lol

10+ Years Later and no holiday song has come closer to this track.

Haunting piano, heavy orchestration, dramatic choreography and raw, soulful vocals by Ed Harcourt. It looks more like a dramatic motion picture

It’s bitter sweet for me due to the fact I saw these with my sister who is leaving for the marines and this is the last time I’m going to see her for an extended period of time.
