Fuck, I hated those movies though. I mean I watched them, but as a kid, I hard a hard time understanding what was going on. Same with The Rescuers, all dogs go to heaven and all those other 80s animated movies. Could have been because I was still learning English.
That was definitely why, although I watched cartoons in German without knowing the language and still enjoyed them. It was many, many years later that I learned Biene Maia was called Maya the Bee in English.
Tbe trauma of watching Fivel and ET as 3/4yo triggered a lifetime of anxiety. What’s up with all the horrible traumatizing movies in the 80?! Bambi?! WTF, why show that to kids?
To teach them about death as part of a story with a happy ending. I think that The Lion King does it better though as they’ve already been briefed on the circle of life.
Oh life is already so hard and sad, let the kids have a couple of good anxiety free years! ET was so traumatizing as a kid that I refuse to ever watch it again lol
Brave little toaster. And fievel goes west.
Brave little toaster has gotta be the reason so many of us millennials are so freaking weird.

We watched Rescuers Down Under all the time, never had any idea it was actually a sequel, I didn’t see the first one until I was in highschool.
Fievel was the goat. Well, mouse at least.
