I just got a big heap of nostalgia when I saw Bambi again. It made me think, when I was a kid I used to watch this movie over and over and over again. I loved it. Loved it more than I loved all other movies at the time. Only my Mamaw had it, and every time I went to her house I would sit in the living room and watch it. I really think I spent like 200+ hours watching, but I've no idea. For some reason, I just thought of the twitterpated scene. I wasn't even thinking of Bambi, but somehow that scene crept into my thoughts. Here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mf4v4Yunm4s&NR=1

So, what are some movies or cartoons that you used to be in love with as a child?

James and the Giant Peach!

Toy Story. When I watched the ending of the 3rd one, I was close to tears.

The Dark Chrystal

the Secret of NYMH

Warriors of the wind/Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind

The Lion King was my favourite when I was younger.

Loved Bambi too though and Free Willy

Charlette's Web (1973)... before anybody gets any bright ideas, I was 3 at the time. can't really find a good link for that.

Also liked http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0ahJPxfGp4&feature=related as well. I think I was 10 at the time.

I'm sure there's a ton of others, but am drawing a blank. :shrug:

EDIT: Wrong link

They hadn't been invented that long ago.

Oh alright, I used to enjoy Tom & Jerry, though apparently it's considered "too violent" for today's youth, or some such malarky. As for films, my mind has gone utterly blank for some reason. I mean some reason other than it always being like that.

Jaws and Indiana Jones

The Doctor. Lots and lots of travels with The Doctor.
Farthing Wood.

Oh, and The Lost Boys.
Huh. No wonder I turned out so weird, with that and a dark cabaret Ma and tabletop and RP nerd Pa.

Those too. And suddenly I don't feel old after having read the previous posts. Thanks. :hehe:

Bambi used to freak me out as a kid, as did A Troll in Central Park.

My favorite movies as a kid were: The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, The Fox and the Hound, The Great Mouse Detective, and Rescuers Down Under.

I've never actually watched Bambi.

I think I was more interested in TV than film, anyway. The Silver Brumby, Animals of Farthing Wood, The Demon Headmaster, The Moomins etc.

I blame the latter for my love of tall houses and tundra.

This.

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory was a big one.

I was brought up on Disney classics, Indiana Jones, and The Iron Giant. Damn, I loved that movie.

I think I liked to watch Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Cartoon - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, was way into them, had the bed sheets, toys, Halloween costumes, ect.
Movie - 3 Ninjas, probably one of my most watched movies back then, that I can remember.

This was a big one. Plus me and my buds were just talking about this. Here are some cheesy ones (but were decent in the day):

Howard the Duck
Beetlejuice
Legend
Critters
The Last Dragon
....

Feel free to laugh

Oh yea it was. They showed that movie in every grade during my elementary years. We are talking about the Gene Wilder one I hope. The Johnny Depp one was unbearable.

Others:
Stand By Me
Big Trouble In Little China
Lost Boys...of course
Bloodsport
Gymkata

Star Wars, and every time I hear some kid mention how they like the prequels better because the old movies are all boring, I die a little inside.

Other childhood favorites would have to be Indiana Jones, Goonies, Princess Bride, Willow, and Ghostbusters. Oh, and the Neverending Story, though that was when I was much younger.


A movie from your childhood? :huh:

Kumite... kumite...

Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland. I [censored] loved this movie. It's way too awesome to be a children's movie.

Good ones as well. Also yes the Gene Wilder one....the new one was.....creepy.

I saw the Dark Crystal as a kid, it scared the absolute crap out of me.

Ah...those movies are making me nostalgic right now.

I was only 8 when Bloodsport came out. I had already seen Bruce Lee stuff by that time. Had a cool looking cover in the rental store and begged my gramps to rent it for me. Yea, parents were liberal. I think I turned out alright....

*drop kicks hole in the wall* :toughninja:

Space Jam - I used to watch this every day.
Independence Day - Same as above, I used to watch it every day.

And the Disney classics; Beauty and the Beast, Lion King etc.
