I had an existential crisis after seeing it. What kind of a loving children's movie makes a kid ask their mother if they are going to die? That is hosed up.

Seriously. It went exactly like this:


Bambi's mother died.
My mother could die.
My father could die.
I could die.
Everyone is going to die.

And whammo! A 5 year old conceives of death and is haunted for life by it.

He was referring to its content and how everything is pussified now. Which is true.

Like how in the late 80s early 90s we started childproofing everything with locks and warning labels and turning playgrounds into plastic safezones with soft grounds and dull corners. Now we have a bunch of stupid entitled sissy assholes who need labels for their conditions and are triggered by everything.


Thanks for nothing, 90s.

I disagree OP, Pokemon the movie came out in the 90s and taught kids of all ages that if you murder someone, a pikachu can cry on their face and they come back to life. That's a lesson you can take to the bank.

Wasn't Sesame Street's early success largely attributed to the fact that it was the only kid's TV program at the time that was even remotely watchable for older people?

Goonies had a bunch of sex talk, dead bodies and curse words and was a kids movie rated PG. Also I remember Sixteen Candles was rated PG and it had literal nudity in it.

There's some definite pussification going on re: movies

hollywood doesn't understand these days that they need to offer more sex and violence per rating to get people away from the internet.

also old kids movies were not afraid to properly villainize the rich vs kids movies like iron man or bat man today where the only way to save the day is to make the stupid plebs get out of the way of the heroic rich man

I think there was a definite shift in kids media that was gradually happening around that time.

Not to get all Buzzfeedy and Athenian with nostalgia and condemnation of future generations. I think that the movies I grew up with are like the candy I grew up with: crunch bars used to be the poo poo but now that I am older and have a more sophisticated palette I realize they are actually just poo poo. And good stuff for kids doe get made (Wall-E from earlier in this thread, for example).

But there is a shift in tone and content, I feel. I think we were less afraid to talk about death back then, and parents wren't full-helicopter yet. We also went from the GRITTY REALISM of the Reagan/Bush1 years to the happy-fluffy Clinton years.

It seems like after a decade of war we're back on grimdark but we're sort of detached from the actual darkness of reality through ironic, nostalgic humor. We all wish we lived in a pre-9/11 world but caring is for losers.

I think monkey cheese has always been around, but it turned up in the late 90s and kind of settled back down.

Care alert

The OP is 100% correct in that the mid 80s had the best kids/family movies by far. Ghostbusters. ET. Back to the Future. Gremlins. The motherfucking Goonies. Need I go on? And now what is it? Pixar? More like Shitxar. Toy Story? gently caress off.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
The best children's movie was made in 1986.

When we were in Belgium last week we ate so much fancy foreign food that it was literally fart city. I just didnt even stop. The problem was they all smelt really rancid, i was a bit backed up from the diet change and that probably didnt help matters. So i had to confess a great many of the farts.
