For the Love of Childhood Movies Kelsey Luciano

Who doesn't love adorable little dinosaurs trekking across a hostile and volatile environment with no adult supervision?  In this episode we are discussing the Speilberg classic, The Land Before Time.  We remember this one with fond memories, but does it hold up in our adulthood?  Listen to find out and give your self a refresher and watch the last 5 minutes of the movie ;).

This week we were asked to suspend our belief a little too much.  A 30 year old man playing a 10 year old, that one push of a button could bring down a plane, and that a 10 year old boy could plan such elaborate pranks.  But we did, and we did it for you!  This week we watched Clifford, and no it's not about a big red dog, but about a little boy who dreams of visiting Dino World.  A movie that still sticks in our minds after all this time!  Hope you enjoy!

Are you even an 80s/90s kid if you didn't love the turtles???  We dive into this iconic live action version of the classic cartoon and soak in all the nostalgia.  We'll talk about just how well this movie holds up, puppets and all, how are giant turtles so sneaky, and an appearance of an awesome actor in one of his earliest roles.  Overall, this is a great one, so be sure to listen, like, and give us a review if you enjoy it!  Cowabunga!  

You know how Disney has a treasure trove of "B movies".  You know the ones, they maybe went to the theater, but they most likely went straight to VHS.  Well behold the greatest of the b-movies, The Great Mouse Detective.  We really loved this one, not only as children, but as adults too!  We'll chat about smoking, alcohol, and trauma, because that's obviously what great children's movies were made of in the 80's, and who doesn't love drunk mice...

We continue on our mouse adventure back with Fievel who is headed West with his family, convinced yet again it will lead to a better life.  Cats and Mice live in harmony out west and just all their money, and a long train ride sits between them and paradise!  Or... not.  In this episode we'll chat about why Fievel Goes West is superior to An American tail, how the creators make fun of themselves, and how Tiger is the best cat of all time.

Who doesn't love an adorable little mouse trying to make his way in America!  Well, spoiler alert... turns out it's us...  This childhood gem is filled with hats that magically appear, disappearing baby mice, weird accents, and tone def singing!  But is it still worth watching as an adult?  Listen to find out our verdict!
