Some movies are just destined to be classics.
Sometimes, however, love is blind.
We’re breaking the silence, so prepare yourselves.
But neither of those things is easy to miss.
That shorthand pre-datesDumbo, which was released in 1941.
In fact, the 1913 Jack London bookJohn Barleycornhas an alcoholic characterwho hallucinates blue mice and pink elephants.
In fact, violence is seen as the answer to any problem in the movie.
Thenshe meltsthe Wicked Witch of the West (another accident) and is again celebrated.
Things are certainly handled differently in Oz.
Good thing that’s not how the legal system works here.
That’s probably because the scene in question wasn’t included in the original run of the film.
We see the giant and several other giant robots destroying cities and entire planets.
This means that our lovable Iron Giant isn’t the only robot built for destruction.
This suggests that the giants can regenerate after being destroyed, even by a missile.
The NeverEnding Story
The really messed up thing aboutThe NeverEnding Storyis the metaphor of the entire movie.
The Nothing is depression, and it’s destroying Fantasia.
The signs are everywhere.
Young Bastian is depressed from the start.
He lost his mother, he’s misunderstood by his father, and he’s mercilessly bullied.
Even the laser-eyed sphinxes kill people who don’t see their own worth.
It is “utter despair” destroying this world.
Not exactly the lighthearted kids' movie you remember, right?
Space Jam
Many ’90s kids look back onSpace Jamwith nostalgia.
What you may not remember, however, is just howadulta lot of the humor was.
Ewing is offended at this presumed questioning of his manhood and insists that isn’t the issue.
Bugs responds to Lola’s touch by his whole body going, er, stiff.
Flubber
Flubberis a 1997 Disney movie starring Robin Williams as the absent-minded Professor Philip Brainard.
After all, we know the Flubber is sentient from the moment it’s discovered.
Let’s just leave it at that.
A kid would surely miss a lot of the innuendo throughout.
Suddenly that PG-13 rating makes a whole lot of sense.
The messed up thing aboutThe Parent Trapis the same in both versions the parents are awful.
Look, divorce is hard and one with kids involved is even more difficult.
How traumatizing for those poor girls to learn that their parents have been lying to them their entire lives.
Coming soon to a theater near you:The Parent Trap 2: Therapy for Life.
Monsters, Inc.
It seems like Boo is in Monstropolis for about a day (evengoing to workwith Mike and Sully).
If so, that place should have been swarming with cops when Sully returned Boo to her bedroom.
Instead, it seems Boo’s parents were none the wiser.
Here’s hoping that a day in Monstropolis is equivalent to an hour in Boo’s world.
Either way, these parents should really get a video monitor.
This means overthrowing the ship’s crew, naturally.
Later in the movie, Gloria the hippo asks the penguins what happened to the people.
They’re on a slow boat to China."
Let’s be real: This ship’s crew is probably dead.
Frankly, it perpetuates pretty harmful stereotypes to young girls that blonde hair is superior.
It’s this magical hair that got her kidnapped in the first place.
So when it’s cut for her own protection, it’s drained of magic and becomes brown.
Along the way she encounters several roadblocks, not the least of which is Tamatoa.
When Moana and Maui escape Tamatoa’s lair, he is thrown on his back andjust left there.
you’ve got the option to admit it, we’ve all done it!
It’s very catchy.
