Careful, there’s a lot of “artists” around lemmy that will get incredibly upset about this.
Flow knocks the crap out of Dalmatians.
I would love cartoons that don't traumatize children, that would be awesome. I watched bambi when I was young and got so traumatized I can't wach animal movies anymore, than I went to see Elio with my niece and she was crying so hard I had to apologize to her parents.
Life is horrible enough lets make cartoons nice
There are like five popular Disney movies where a parent or both parents dont get murdered in order to drive the story forward. Of those left a handful has the parents dead before the story even starts.
Disney really seems to love killing parents. Someone ought to talk to them, seems like an unhealthy obsession.
Aren't they animations of existing fairy tales, at least the early ones?
Coco and Encanto, Moana and Brave, it seems like in the newer movies they're not as addicted to killing the parents, so maybe someone did? I haven't seen wish or raya so idk. The parents are also alive in Tangled I think but she's kidnapped so I don't think we can really count it as no parental trauma (or we could count it as 3 parents?)
Was it the melting child scene? That caught me off guard.
Yeah, that came out of no where. I thought it was great, but also figured it would likely traumatize a number of kids.
I was sad the movie didn't do better in the box office. It wasn't the best, but it was a fun original story.
Also this, but she was watching with me, her aunt, and her parents were not there so she kept asking me if her parents were going to die too. At the end she was crying and saying "i don't want to live with you I want to live with mom and dad" lol. Didn't take offense. I also want her to live with her parents hahaha
Rikki-Tikki-Tavi fucked me up, nightmares about snakes for a couple of years. And having Orson Wells narrate didn't help a bit.
