I just want to say that I feel bad for creating an environment where people are maybe getting distracted from processing stuff that’s happening around them, and maybe to people they know. I can sometimes dig into the wrong thing at inappropriate times, that’s a me problem. Here’s a meme, and sorry if you’re going through something awful right now.
Rock-a-Doodle was the shit, so many unhinged lines for a kids movie and Goldie was definitely a prostitute. “If I killed my nephew, would that be murder or charity?”
Rock-a-doodle FUCKS. Honestly the movie has no right to be shown to children at any point but I have nothing but fond memories of it.
Elvis rooster is not even the top 3 wildest things in that movie.
I showed my kids Rock-a-doodle as a joke and they sat through the whole movie and loved it.
I mean… we sat through Rock-a-doodle and loved it
All Dogs Go To Heaven. That shouldn’t be a kid’s movie.
If you know the lore about the voice actors and you still feel that way I’ll just go fuck myself, but the fact that it has so much emotional impact comes directly from a very painful tragedy, and I think we’d have to be fools to let the work be cast aside.
Kids used to be raised on far more terrible stuff, Grimm’s fairy tales and all. I tend to agree with Don Bluth that you can show kids a lot of ghastly stuff and they’ll enjoy it, so long as you give them a happy ending.
RIP Judith Barsi.
His films are classics and still fondly remembered for a good reason, he didn’t shy away from the hard life lessons. Sure, we don’t always get a happy ending, but kids deal with death, sickness, loss and bad people all the time. They need media that shows they’re not alone.
Kids are human people, and can experience the feeling of catharsis through art.
Controversial I know, but there you have it.
I watched it as a kid but don’t remember it at all.
Missing Fern Gully, but a pretty good list nonetheless.
Rover Dangerfield was just “What if Rodney Dangerfield was a dog?” and as I kid I loved it. I had a vague idea of who Rodney was so this was the perfect transition film for a kid. Arguably I watched his career in reverse, but because of this film I watched it.
To see the reviews on this film and that it did so poorly, no respect at all.
Son of the mask was like that, that movie felt like a bizarre dream I had.
There’s no way drugs weren’t involved in the creation of that movie.
There was a version of Peter Pan on Fox back in the 90s that I’d thought I’d dreamed but it turns out it’s real.
Tim Curry screaming, “my scratchy cat will rip yer bones bare!” Is great if you’ve never run into it
That said I’ve never heard of any of these movies
The fuck is the associated text? Just shit on us dude
This one is 2000s, but I remember my family renting a Red Riding Hood movie from blockbuster. It was extremely weird and creepy, and I always struggled to find details of the movie online. I recently found it again and watched it, and it’s still weird and creepy (though that makes it fun to drink and watch as an adult.) I then learned Henry Cavill and Joey Fatone were in the movie, which didn’t sit well as an adult.
Raggedy Ann was a movie meant to advertise dolls that somehow turned into an acid fueled mindfuck.
As a child I was watching ANIMALYMPICS I think I probably will recover any day now.
Okay now what was the one where the kid can step into the art on a stamp and get mailed around the world? I watched it around the same time as Explorers, which is also a fever dream.
Can confirm, my memories of Rock a Doodle are incredibly fever dreamy. I remember watching We’re Back as well, but I think I remember the story beats well enough to not feel so weird about it.
All I remember about Rock a Doodle is like, “I’m pretty sure the world was on the brink of total destruction and Chicken Elvis somehow saved it.”Yeah, something about the sun never coming up again because of… ??? Industrialization? Demons?
Yeah I went to Youtube and the whole movie is just available “for free with ads” so I kinda skimmed it lol
I miss this kind of artwork style and design for posters of children’s movies. The colourful and detailed imagery is really inviting and tells you that you’re in it for something magical. I have no problem with posters these days, but today’s counterparts pare minimalist and less uninviting if I’m a child.
I want a hug.
