Return to Oz - a movie that had a subplot about Dorothy being committed to a psych ward and given electroshock therapy because everyone thought she was delusional - was a thing that all of us just watched. As kids!
Once again, in case you’re wondering why Gen Xers are “like this,” watch any Disney movie between Walt’s death & The Little Mermaid, the shit we were raised on. Tried to rewatch The Rescuers last night and it is utterly Bananapants that a single soul thought this was acceptable kids’ fare
For me the most disturbing was Jack Pumpkinhead: this tragic, sweet and fragile creature in a murderous world, with a costume that made it look like that heavy head was going to rip right off his neck at any moment. Honestly, that’s the thing that kept me up at night the most.
