Funny you post a toy story video after typing that, Toy Story 3 must have been the last time I felt ANYTHING watching a movie. When i saw the final scene where they are in the junk yard about to die when they look at each other and hold hands while accepting their fate, I was like "... WOAH.... that got DARK!"
The only Disney movie I like is Aladdin, because of how tightly scripted it is. I've never cried at the end of any Disney movie (ok I screamed at the end of The Rise of Palpatine on Movie Night), not even as a kid. I've never seen a single MCU movie and never wanted to. Out of the recent animated movies, I remember seeing Tangled (pirated, very bad), Frozen (pirated, very bad) and Coco (in a theater, decent but not rewatch material). I like reading about animation techniques Disney invented, but it sure seems like what they amount to these days is moar processing power, signifying nothing. I'm not all that based; I cry over (better) cartoons, I have a waifu in all but name, etc. And still all I get from Disney is boredom and disgust. Wouldn't even pirate.
My friend, that is very understandable.....
The junkyard scene stressed me out as a kid. I stilled get kind of stressed watching it.
Damn.. Talk about a harsh way to sober up and see things for how they really are. This the equivalent of an ice shower, some boiling hot coffee and a deep breath high up on a mountain.
Yes, let's listen to the Malaysian who can't talk about anything but American politics.
You know, Lasseter tried to get The Brave Little Toaster done at Disney back when he was there originally in the mid-80s, but no one at the company saw any potential in it.
The 80's were an interesting time for animated movies because the best animated movies out of that decade were dark, and for a few brief years this was acceptable. Even Disney experimented with it with The Black Cauldron (although most of it didn't remain in the movie) and Oliver and Company.
there's a reason anime is more popular than ever.
while some of the MCU hate is certainly deserved, people need to get a fucking grip. the summer/winter blockbuster has been a thing for fucking ages, all disney did was reduce it to a single brand to make it easier to produce (while still having enough variety). no one was keeping other studios from doing their own thing, them being too retarded to compete can't be blamed on disney.
Run...
My parents still make fun of me for hiding behind the couch when I was 4 when the master was almost crushed
That's because there's no intentional malice involved, Toaster was just being honest when he said he's not a flower. He didn't even say it in a mean way. And yet the flower was so heartbroken it immediately wilted and died on the spot. It immediately changed the meadow scene from just dumb animal shenanigans to an extremely important part in Toaster's character development.
This actually proves what Don Bluth said about how kids can handle all sorts of fucked up shit so long as there's a happy ending.
Bambi's Mom
I liked it as a kid and don't even remember the clown. It didn't traumatize me in the least either.
After a couple more viewings I actually really enjoyed the nightmare sequence (maybe I have an appreciation for it now due to years watching Stephen King's IT on repeat and listening to Insane Clown Posse juggalo music growing up. lol.
