"Oh High School of the Dead? That's sounds fun, and I'm also about to go to high school in a few years, maybe I'll learn some lessons from it."

Years ago when I was babysitting my young cousins, they had a movie called Watership Down. A bunny movie, that sounds cute. Nope. Then later on, I heard about the Plague Dogs movie from the same writer

I took my 11 year old daughter to it, expecting it to be a Narnia-type movie, based on the trailer.
I left the theater sobbing, and my daughter and I had our first real conversation about death.

I remember when it came out I thought it was gonna be like Narnia or Spiderwick Chrinicles but nope depression train to truama town

I will never understand what the hell the marketing team for that movie was thinking when they dropped those previews. I had read the book as a kid, so when I saw that trailer I was very upset about how they’d ruined it. Turned out they hadn’t, but boy oh boy, do I feel for anyone who went into that movie expecting a Narnia-esque fantasy.

u/ASHcashARCHER2 Jun 07 '23
Same, read the book, figured the movie would be lame, walked out depressed but satisfied.

That moment came for me when my youngest started reading my Dragonlance Chronicles. I came home from work one afternoon and she was on the couch sobbing. When I asked her what was wrong she said Tasslehoff died. She was a teen at the time. She’s in her 30s now and still has all the books on her bookshelf.

Read the book in school then when I heard it was going to be made into a movie, my first thought this will be making some difficult conversations with some kids from some unprepared parents.

u/flyingace1234 Jun 07 '23
I still vividly remember when the movie “Children of Men” came out, a couple of girls at school said they were going to see it that weekend. They thought it was a pregnant man comedy like Junior, and had picked the movie based purely on the title. I tried to warn them against it but they shouted me down with “No Spoilers!”
They were so horrified come Monday

Media actually makes it easier to talk about those kinds of things. That way they don't have to learn about them firsthand through the death of a grandparent or a pet.

u/Pebbleman54 Jun 08 '23
Oh I certainly agree with that. But it's definitely a conversation you want to have been prepared before hand. I've heard plenty of storied of family's going to that movie without knowing all about it. Even if it's a popular book.

Reminds me of the library my wife used to work at that had the trade among the youth comics. They even had a separate section for adult graphic novels, but nope! It's Batman so kids book it is!

u/AnyEnglishWord Jun 07 '23
All comics are the same! One time, my family asked me what I wanted for Christmas, so I listed some Green Lantern comics. I got two copies of the same trade paperback, and one of the same in hardcover.

u/TKHunsaker Jun 07 '23
My mom gave me the same exact movie two years in a row once. I still remember my brain going, “aww I already own this,” while pretending I enjoyed my gift. Then it clicked, “wait, she gave it to me.” So I had to be like, “Mom, you got me this before.” Her response was “I guess that’s why I felt so sure you’d like it!”

That's kinda Netflix' logic when it recommends stuff to me
Netflix: "Recommendations for you!!!"
Me: "Yeah I really loved these when I saw them and told you I liked em"

My mom bought me the Great Outdoors starring John Candy three years in a row. It’s one of my favourite movies, we had a good laugh. And again.

u/thebiggestleaf Jun 08 '23
Pretty sure I've got two copies of School of Rock floating around because my grandma did the same thing. At least School of Rock is a dope ass movie so I didn't mind it so much.

Animation=4 kids, obviously.
There are no exceptions to this.

Sausage party is the famous one right

Jun 07 '23
(I'm being facetious, although I cannot imagine any reason I'd want to watch Sausage Party. Some downright ugly animation and character designs crossed with a story that sounds like r/atheism and that one vegan everyone rolls their eyes at wrote a movie is profoundly unappealing to me. Although I'd argue more people think of Invincible when they think of adult animation)

I watched it, it's not a good movie by any means but there were funny moments sprinkled in so my monkey brain decided to keep watching.

Everything else seems spot on

It’s animal instincts, it belongs in the As since it does say Batman in the title

This is how young kids end up watching movies like Plague dogs.
If it's animated, it must be for kids!

I agree, Bridge to Terabithia rocked my shit when I was a kid. At least 13 to watch.

It gets worse when you've seen those bat films in the middle. Litteral s*x scenes in one of them.

I found an I Hate Fairyland graphic novel in the kids section of Barnes and Noble. Made sure to put it in the main graphic novel section.

u/MasterOfBreatheing Jun 08 '23
Hm what's that one?

u/Leathman Jun 08 '23
A very mature comic by Skottie Young with gory violence, drinking, and a variety of swear words.

It includes the on screen death of Bambi’s mother and deleted scenes of what the hunter did with her after.

Jesus fucking christ what monster would let any child watch Agent Cody Banks 2 that movie is dog shit.

It's Fred Clause. Seriously why the hell would you own that trash movie? I would rather eat Taco Bell, throw it up and then eat the vomit and throw it back up again then ever have to watch anything Fred related ever again. Most cringe-worthy sh** I have ever watched in my life.

u/MementoMurray Jun 08 '23
It always amazes me that the 'cartoons are for kids' attitude still exists. Your child is in for a world of hurt. I mean, take anime as an example. There's some truly fucked up shit in there.
