  Brave little toaster has gotta be the reason so many of us millennials are so freaking weird.

  Fuck, I hated those movies though. I mean I watched them, but as a kid, I hard a hard time understanding what was going on. Same with The Rescuers, all dogs go to heaven and all those other 80s animated movies. Could have been because I was still learning English.

    We watched Rescuers Down Under all the time, never had any idea it was actually a sequel, I didn’t see the first one until I was in highschool.

    That was definitely why, although I watched cartoons in German without knowing the language and still enjoyed them. It was many, many years later that I learned Biene Maia was called Maya the Bee in English.

  Tbe trauma of watching Fivel and ET as 3/4yo triggered a lifetime of anxiety. What’s up with all the horrible traumatizing movies in the 80?! Bambi?! WTF, why show that to kids?

    To teach them about death as part of a story with a happy ending. I think that The Lion King does it better though as they’ve already been briefed on the circle of life.
