Shadow Hog posted:Well, that definitely rules out Zootopia (the "savage" animals doing jumpscares all throughout the second act might be a bit much). Still, other Disney films would probably be okay. Aladdin might be a bit intense with the Cave of Wonders escape, but I dunno that I'd really call it scary... Then again, I didn't think Mother Gothel was that scary, either, so what do I know about what's scary or not? Could you be thinking about Bedknobs and Broomsticks or Mr. Boogedy? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VV9vvekSbr4 Boogedy gave me nightmares when I was a wee lad.

Nah, I don't think so. It's hard to describe the exact shot in text, so here's a quick mockup:  Obviously it wasn't the USS Enterprise in the corner, but that's sort of the angle (might've been a bit steeper, but there's only so much I could figure out in GZDoomBuilder). The vessel was there in the corner, and the grid either sort of zoomed in from the distance to where you see it now, or it started from nothing but gradually stretched its length outward from behind the screen toward the distance (think Star Wars lightspeed, but in reverse - instead of the stars in the distance stretching toward the camera before the takeoff, the grid here was stretching from behind the camera toward the perspective point). Then, I think the vessel wound up taking off or something. It was kinda trippy. (Something to keep in mind, now that you have a visual: I associated Mary Poppins with this as a kid somehow) World Famous W posted:This is horrible advice!

I'm trying to think of the things I watched all the time as a kid and I'm really struggling to think of things that didn't at least have scary parts. (Because those were my favorite parts.  ) Even the 80's TV movie of MLP I watched every day had centaur Satan dude turning the ponies into nightmares. I had to look him up just now to make sure I wasn't making that up.Man, the 80's opinion of what constituted children's media was fun as hell.

Maybe try to introduce some small scary scenes as you go too. I'm not here to tell anyone I know their kids better than they do obviously, but kid fears can be irrational and all over the place. I had no problem with Sharptooth in Land Before Time or Jason Voorhees, but the gorilla bouncer in Roger Rabbit? I had to leave the room for that.

WHere did you buy yours? Also, just, uhhh...you can 'back up' your version now that you own it.

Maybe it's Black Hole! I'll have to do a bit more research on that (seems a bit weird to advertise it after a kids' film on a VHS; is that the one where everyone dies at the end, or am I thinking of another, more-depressing sci-fi flick - Event Horizon or something?), but at least it helps to know there's another potential candidate after watching TRON a few times made me think it wasn't that, despite it being the obvious candidate.

I'm watching The Black Hole right now. Weird. It's from that period where Disney were still trying to break into more serious live action fare, but with some weird, goofy moments kind of incongruously shoved in for the kids.

Well of course, if the grid went the other way that would be ludicrous.

seriously, the scenario we all hope for (that the Animaniacs reboot will pretty much just pick up where the original left off, qualitywise) has about a one in a loving billion chance of happening it'll either be good, but completely unrecognizable and with an entirely different vibe and sense of humor (a la Teen Titans Go or MST3K) or it'll be straight up incredibly bad and not understand what made the original good at all (a la Samurai Jack or Powerpuff Girls)

Somehow I'm almost 30 and still coming to terms with the truth that, even if you get the original writers, director, actors and editors, the movie/show you loved so much will crumble before your eyes upon its return.

Samurai Jack had a fantastic start, leveled off to okay in the middle, tripped horribly right before the finish line, but managed to pick itself up and cross it alright.

I was just really, really disappointed after that absolutely impeccable start. If the beginning had been more level with the rest of the series, I think I would have been... fine with it, since I wasn't a huge Jack fan the first time around. The original had a few sequences I liked. The return would have been what I remembered and what I expected. But no, the first 3 episodes blew me out of the water and everything after that beached me.

It's hard to imagine what new Animaniacs would even be like, and what audience it will be able to successfully engage. No matter what they do, it'll undeniably be subject to a level of scrutiny far beyond anything the original show ever dealt with. Good luck I guess

Tuxedo Catfish posted:there are a fair amount of stinkers in the original run of Samurai Jack, honestly I never honestly thought Samurai Jack was anywhere as good as people claimed. It had some exceptional episodes but a lot of forgettable ones and only the non-linear nature of the narrative really carried it because they could do whatever they wanted. Admittedly it's still better than Genndy Tartakovsky rushing into the office with a copy of Gurren-Lagann with Nia's hair frantically colored black and going "hey guys, do I have an idea for the last season? Hear me out, the daughter of the evil overlord who rules the world..."

Samurai Jack is great because it's experimental, it can do whatever it wanted with it loving just slow , low key moments to edge the tension. Nothing else was really that stylish except like Aeon Flux

It had some crappy episodes but so did the originals and some of the best episodes in the run were there. The movies were probably the weakest part overall, they just didn't work as well as self-contained episodes.
