Hmm, I don't remember being traumatised by Ferngully, but I do remember having to leave the theatre during Beauty and the Beast when it got to the part with the wolves, and a bunch of us being terrified by Hocus Pocus in first grade at my friend's birthday party. Honestly, her mom had to put on Little Orphan Annie to get us to sleep.

Of course, watching these movies again as an adult, they're either banal or hysterical. I think I was not easily traumatised by cartoons, especially as I really loved The Little Mermaid, and Ursula singing "You Poor Unfortunate Soul" still ranks as one of my treasured childhood memories.

Really? For some reason, the wolves never bothered me at all. Because not being scared of wolves but being scared of singing black sludge makes PERFECT SENSE. I didn't see Hocus Pocus until I was around fourteen, so by that point I could laugh at it rather than be frightened by it. Although the squished cat was a little freaky.

I loved The Little Mermaid too, and Ursula herself didn't bother me. It was the gigantic deep-voiced storm-goddess thing she became at the end of the movie that freaked me out. (Also, "Poor Unfortunate Soul" really is the best song in the entire movie. Debatably second to "Les Poissons". I have both on my iPod.)

EEEEE!!!! Must. Have. Songs! Pwees?

Ok, now that that's out of the way. Yeah, it was totally the squished cat that got me, too.

Both are on their way. They're attached to an e-mail in your school account, so they should get through okay.
