I just have to say, I'm in the middle of Toy Story 3, and this would have TRAUMATIZED me as a child. Did parents punish their children with this movie?
Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

The crypoints (in my experience) tend to be more for the adults than the kids. Matilda, at least, doesn't really get the sadness of Andy's scene at the end with Bonnie.
The Toys facing the incinerator though is pretty scary for them.

Because books.
Dana, Sara wasn't bothered. There was one scene that made her a little tense, but I was the wreck while watching it. Kids are weird? And a little heartless?
Or maybe that's just mine.

Okay, yeah, the last scene is a killer. Jesus.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I remember when I was a kid, my mother was traumatized by both Peter Pan and Bambi, and I was stoic. But I can't watch them now.

Casper was terrified by the Toy Story 3 scenes at the dump; Dillo completely oblivious. Casper also got very scared at the evil chase scenes in Up, which we watched last night for the first time in a while. She's gotten old enough that she gets dramatic tension, which she didn't until about age 6.
I was terrified by Big Baby. And of course I cry at the grownup crypoints.

Back in the 40's one to-be-famous radical would register for classes, read the books, show up only for tests, ace the tests and pass the classes. Spent the rest of his time doing labor organizing and partying. I don't know if it was indulgent teachers, or tests counted for more than attendance and essays. He graduated don't know if with honors.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Where is Highlander II on that map? I can't find it. I hate unsearchable information, dammit.
