Oh, I forgot another movie: Two Brothers. The poor poor tigers, but then when they met it was too sweet.

I haven't seen Brother Bear but I have been wanting too, we had the movie but it wouldn't work. I guess we never got a new one, maybe we will and then I can watch it.

Did you feel better when they revealed the Enterprise A? If so, maybe that's why it was easier to watch D crash than the original; the ship we all came to love in The Next Generation was the 4th edition, and when they were evacuating the crash site, Captain Picard said he had a feeling it would not be the last Federation ship to carry the name 'Enterprise.'

I guess you could compare it to the difference of a character dying in Dragonball and Dragonball Z. In the latter, you know they'll just raise em' all with the dragonballs later (the Earth has been destroyed how many times?)

And I'm suddenly ashamed to say that I've never seen The Shipping News or What Dreams May Come. Maybe once classes start, I've found employment and I know just how much free time I have to deal with between them, I'll have to look for those.

I did the same about a year ago, and though I wasn't exactly moved to tears, I did find that my childhood memories weren't entirely accurate. Now looking back, it's occured to me: Don Bluth deals with some pretty hefty subject material considering his target audience. Really, when was the last time somebody sold his soul to the devil (Rasputin in Anastasia and Carface in ADGTH 2) in a Disney movie?

You have a point there. It's funny how concepts like that somehow escape us isn't it? I remember my friends and I were watching The Butterfly Effect in theaters and there was a group of children infront of us. We sat there and went back and forth about worrying about them. Some of the scenes in that movie wasn't meant for children, but then they seemed young enough that they didn't really understand what was going on in those scenes. They'd leave at the "bad" parts though and come back.

When I was little, two of my favorite movies were The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Bram Stoker's Dracula. I was little and had no clue what the mature stuff was about and didn't figure it out until I watched those movies again in 4th grade

I watched Rocky Horror when I was little so often I killed the tape (and it wasn't replaced until 4th grade) and we never owned Dracula until my dad bought on DVD a few years back.

*nod-nods* Actually, you'd be surprised how mature kids can be when it comes to sex and violence. When I was six, my favorite movie was Akira. I didn't even understand the political troubles, what was happening to Tetsua (sp?) or what happened to Akira, but the fight scenes were cool.

And the only time it got me in trouble was when I was still laughing at some of the character lines later, namely Kanada: "Well you could at least tell me your name you cold b****!"

And it's not just me either. My father's seven-year-old neighbor came over and watched Jurassic Park last week; both the scenes where the lawyer and the hacker get chomped made him laugh. The only time he ever had a problem with the movie was the important plot element: when the hacker gets payed up front to steal the embryos.
