A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Hmmm, I associate fire more with Incredibles because of Syndrome's lava wall. Whereas, Wall-E and EVA are out in airless space, their space-dance seems...airier. Though WALL-E is pretty earthy. There's nothing in the Pixar catalog quite as airy as a Miyazaki, though I guess Up qualifies.

So my 1980's cartoon movie ignorance has come through. I had not seen nor read Rats of/Secret of NIMH.
Oddly, the book is far less traumatic & scary than the movie. (You know how most movies you watched as a kid, you went back and read the book and were horrified at how dark the story really was? This is the exact opposite.)
I was so obsessed with that movie when I was a kid. And by the time I read the book I was kind of disappointed by the lack of action.
I have a friend who works at NIMH, and refuses to believe the movie (or book) means THAT NIMH.
I had probably seen that movie a million times before I realized that NIMH = NIMH. And I grew up practically across the street.

Now tagless for your comfort.
When my niece was four, I took her to see The Secret of NIMH. Damn, she climbed into my lap and buried her face in my neck. The big sword fight scene was terrifying. But I was too young to think of the kid first and was completely rapt in the story so I stuck it out.
I feel like shit about it now, of course.

Pfft. Seeing stuff that's not age appropriate is actually an important part of growing up. Everybody does it. Everybody survives it.
I would actually think a kid was too sheltered if they never saw stuff outside their ability to grasp it, or was too intense or too whatever.

Well, my next door neighbors took me to see Friday the 13th when I was 10 and I spent the next few months sleeping with my twin sister. At least I didn't drag her to a slasher horror film.

We shared a bed a lot as kids (and a few times as teenagers). The only problem is she talks a lot.

In her sleep, or just in general?
She did turn out to be an attorney.
