Kids movies don’t mess around. I still get big feelings about the death of small town America when I watch Cars.
Kids movies definitely get better as you get old enough to understand the rest of it that you may have missed as a kid, too.
I also feel they’re objectively better than they were when I was a kid? Like actually better movies.
while I tend to agree, I still haven’t heard a soundtrack that rivals Prince of Egypt.
Ah I was out of the kids movie demographic and not yet back in the kids movie demographic in 1998. A great year for movies. You had your pick of asteroids destroying the earth movies (Deep Impact and Armageddon), anthropomorphic ant movies (Ants and A Bugs Life) and war movies (Saving Private Ryan and Thin Red Line).
I grew up in the era of Honey I Shrunk the Kids. Not good, no particular deeper meaning, just a lot of fun.
Kid movies are massively better now, but seem to have stopped being live action, for the most part. The animation is great but it’s odd that there isn’t more of a mix.
OK, but I listened to an entire podcast about versions of masculinity in this movie
Podcast please? I love this kind of stuff.
This is a Disney movie right? I think I’ll do this the next time I get to pick for movie night.
The podcast originated as Why Are Dads and is now called You Are Good. It is loosely about feelings and dad themes.
Mrs Doubtfire is a great one and the right age for your kid.
The never ending story.
I’ll think of others. Mid childhood movies are my jam.
I adore Alex Steed and You Are Good!
Obviously hilarious, but bottom right is kinda stunning NGL.
I’m not sure whether to be impressed that we recognize these patterns as nativity scenes or laugh at how much of a stretch it is to do so.
I think both.
without the caption i don’t think i would recognize them as nativity scenes (except the ones with the labels)
Ditto.
