What did I like as a kid?
-
@HeatherB I found I really love the muppet movies, much to my surprise, especially Muppets Christmas Carol.
-
@PenAndrew that’s a great one! I think the ones that let The shrimp or the rat go nuts are surprising great. I didn’t think my fav line of “a bear in his natural habitat, a studebaker” could be topped but Pepe the shrimp with “I like my women like I like my coffee- a latte” is just about there
-
@PenAndrew ahh yess! I love Muppets Christmas Carol - especially when the rats sing dressed in tropical clothing as a response to Scrooge not keeping the office warm enough
Also any fans of A Muppet Family Christmas?!
People in my home town thought I was so strange for liking them, but they weren't creatives
haha -
@Kristen-Lango I think it only works because it has the crucial Jim Henson feeling, because it has FEELING. I met someone who worked for this company and they said it had a kind of family moto above the door, with the sentiment that they all created the thing together. Something like that- sorry it has been about 13 years!
-
@PenAndrew That is so neat! It's so cool you know someone who worked for them. I totally get what you mean about the "feeling" aspect of these films.

@HeatherB You must be an 80s kid

@ArtistErin guilty lol. He did a skit I think on snl that was just him eating those dotted candy on a roll of paper one at a time and laughing like “one.. haha! Two….” It makes no sense but that has lived in my head rent free ever since
-
@HeatherB LOL Omg I snorted as I read your reply, funny how these things stick with you and somehow shape your psyche
I'll have to check out that skit. Nothing better than a true classic from SNL that lasts forever!!! -
Hey guys, I know its been a while since we've talked on this thread, but I wanted to revive the discussion, because I just found a film that my inner-child absolutely lovesss!
Plus it has tons of great adult humor too:
I mean, the humor, the style, the writing, this film is easily ranking in my top ten animated favorites.
That's all for now! Ciao

@Kristen-Lango I remember reading the book as a kid! I didn’t know they made a film about it
I should probably check it out sometime -
@kirsten-mcg your mood board is actually shockingly close to what mine would be
I also wasn't allowed to watch tv but also watched all the movies on your board (except my little pony)
