ext_13408: (NGHHH WHAT)

All cartoons used to creep me the fuck out. It is really only in the last five years I've been able to stomach them, honestly.

Some thoughts I've come up with about why: the hideous, grotesque animation style all NickToons had in the early nineties (see Ren & Stimpy, Aagh Real Monsters etc). A particular Merrie Melodies short about a baby car getting into an accident and dying and having his mother and father car grieve over him. The fact that I was even more bizarrely uptight as a little kid than I am now-- didn't like sugary cereals, had to keep all my toys exactly in order (and I do mean exactly in order; there were family trees and marriage records; there was genuine distress when their original tags or hand-made nametags fell off).

I wasn't actually going to comment on this post because the idea of whining about past distressing TV images sounded somewhat lame to me. Then I started reading the TV Tropes articles and remembered how bizarre and awful TV really seemed to me back then.

Understandable - Aagh Real Monsters and Ren & Stimpy were odd, and I cannot fathom the Facebook population's nostalgia for them.

And the post was meant in fun, really - I highly doubt most people suffered any lasting psychological damage from a kid's movie, and I'm sure being distressed builds character or something. Just seemed an entertaining group whine. ;)

No definitely; it's good group participation.

Also go to bed.

Actually, another also: are you still flirting with Sweeney? cos if so there's a DVD full of various older-than-Depp productions I ought to send you.

Or New Who; I could send you some New Who! Care package, what do you want?

Why, how kind of you! Any form of pre-Depp Sweeney Todd would be much appreciated; thanks so much! Yay, expanding my musical knowedge.
