Are You "Adult" Enough To Admit....???? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (8779)   ranked 7 out of 8,363 in watching movies3 months ago

That you like watching movies that are designated for children?

Now I DO love watching serious drama type movies, comedies, adventures, romantic types....but I seem to have a leaning toward watching movies that are classified as children types of movies, especially if there is an element of the magical or fantasy element to it. Maybe it had something to do with growing up watching the classic Disney animated movies....Bambi, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, etc.

I think I bring this up, as just recently a gave myself a few presents of some DVD movies..my local movie theater sucks as far as showing a lot of popular movies. For instance, now every prior time a Harry Potter movie came out, they DID show it...well when Harry Potter and the Phoenix came out they didn't...grrr..So figured, okay when the DVD movie comes out, even though it will be sight unseen, I'll get it...Needless to say I love ALL the Harry Potter movies and including the last one (Phoenix)--though they, the writers did hack off a lot of stuff that had been in the book that would have been great to see. I also bought myself The Golden Compass...GREAT movie...I'm finishing off reading the third in the trilogy of His Dark Materials, The Amber Spyglass by Phillip Pullman...but when I saw the trailers for The Golden Compass knew it would be up my alley

Then just last night, I watched The Last Mimzy....LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this movie...I was originally only going to watch maybe only half but wound up watching the whole thing...uh, don't ask what time I went to bed...(uh, the birds were already starting to chirp...hehee)...I'm hoping to eventually get the book, oh, and I would LOVE one of those talking Mimzy Rabbit toys...uh, any idea how much they go for? Yikes, over $100.00 even on ebay!

I still love to watch Disney or animated movies....I bawled like a baby with The Lion King...Thomasina (an old movie)...and on and on.

So even though you like to consider yourself a sophisticated, grown up person....do you find you get a real kick out of watching kiddie movies? Which ones? If you're a parent...do you make the excuse that you're "forcing" yourself to "endure" a kiddie movie....when in reality you WANT to watch it?rasp

Ha Ha! i'm a 46 year old man and i just watched the SpongeBob Movie on Monday......yes, it was on Nikelodeon.
and like you, i think Disney animated movies are great.
i guess i just loved animated movies when i was a kid and i never out grew them. w00t
i did have to endure the same movies over and over when my kids were little, but they're all grown now so i can't use that excuse anymore.
i just love good animation.

Did you ever see The Polar Express? Talk about advanced animation...I've made that one of my Christmas movies I just have to watch every year.

Although you would certainly have to force me to watch the movies you mentioned (the newer ones) I do enjoy a movie aimed at children once in awhile. I tend to drift towards silly animated movies like Cars or Meet The Robinsons. If the movie looks good to me, I won't care who the movie is aimed athappy


myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (8779)   ranked 7 out of 8,363 in watching movies  3 months ago

aww--now you mean you don't like the movies I listed?....uh, how about Lord of The Rings? Chronicles of Narnia??confused


myLot reputation of 95/100. fwidman (2787)   ranked 1,035 out of 8,363 in watching movies  3 months ago

I did go to the theater to see Narnia. I haven't seen the second one yet but I plan to happy My wife loved Lord of the Rings. It was a bit much for me. I watched the first one then quit.

Not me, I LOVE kids movies - even if I have to pay full price to not see it in a theater full of kids.

Gotta say, saw Pirates, Harry Potter and Batman at matinee prices without small children - went to a theater that only lets the little ones in on certain days of the week. AND I got a meal!


myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (8779)   ranked 7 out of 8,363 in watching movies  3 months ago

Gee, they don't have that at my local movie theater. I remember when I did see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire there was this young girl with her parents....she yakked throughout the entire movie....she was telling her parents the plot of the story...sheeshrolleyes


myLot reputation of 98/100. ElicBxn (8909)   ranked 982 out of 8,363 in watching movies  3 months ago

Most of ours don't either, but Alamo Drafthouse does - you can even get beer and stuff. If that's what you like - yuk.

There's nothing wrong with watching kid movies or tv shows, i think.
I watch disney channel most of the time and i enjoy their shows. And i'd much rather watch aniated movies, too.


myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (8779)   ranked 7 out of 8,363 in watching movies  3 months ago

I sure wish I could watch the Disney Channel again, but alas no more cable...had to discontinue itsad

And the Lord of the Rings triology as I had never read the books. my son is a Lord Of the Rings buff for sure.


myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (8779)   ranked 7 out of 8,363 in watching movies  3 months ago

The movie about the volkswagon...wasn't it named Herbie? I LOVE Lord of the Rings...seeing those movies inspired me to read the books again..hadn't read them since I was in High School. I have a saying on my profile page from LOTR...over my avatar...just bet your son would know who said it and to whom and from which book...LOL

6. myLot reputation of 92/100. aendzie (301)   ranked 2,435 out of 8,363 in watching movies   3 months ago

yes sir! I love watching children's programs. Nowadays I'm into Fairy Godparents,Jimmy Nuetron, Kim Possible, Totally Spies,Mr. Bean and Sponge Bob Squarepants. I used to watch Bugs Bunny and Friends, but I don't know probably I get tired of repeated shows. I am also a fanatic of Anime', I remember watching Dragon Ball Z when I was a kid, then now, I watch Naruto, One Piece, Chobits and many more. At firstI would nag my young sister and brothers when they spend too much time watching cartoons but then when I tried watching with them I discovered it's not bad at all.

I guess no one gets old. There will always be a kid in us.


myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (8779)   ranked 7 out of 8,363 in watching movies  3 months ago

I love Mr. Bean...he's hysterical. Yes, here's to hoping I remain a kid at heart forever..LOL

7. dark4eyes (93)   ranked 2,329 out of 8,363 in watching movies   3 months ago

Well, I do like SOME kids' movies. I've bought several for the kids and watched them myself a few times before they're around. I don't like the sickly sweet ones or the Disney stuff like Bambi, Pocahontas, Little Mermaid, etc. but I don't have a problem with stuff like Spiderwick Chronicles, Water Horse, Golden Compass, etc.

I sometimes watch the kids shows - Fairly Odd Parents, Jimmy Neutron, Raven, Suite Life But Spongebob and Barney make me nauseous.


myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (8779)   ranked 7 out of 8,363 in watching movies  3 months ago

How are the Spiderwick Chronicles? I read the books but never saw the movie. Did you ever see, An Unfortunate Series of Events?


dark4eyes (93)   ranked 2,329 out of 8,363 in watching movies  3 months ago

Spiderwick wasn't TOO bad. There were some plot holes that kinda bothered me but it was watchable.

Unfortunately, the other movie has Jim Carrey in it and he's on my "Vomit List" along with Tom Cruise, Bruce Willis and Mike Myers. Don't mind Shrek, (my favorite character is Puss and I LOVE Antonio Bandaras) but the rest of Mike Myers' movies are just terrible.


myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (8779)   ranked 7 out of 8,363 in watching movies  3 months ago

I love that..."Vomit List"--yeah, Tom Cruise is on mine as well... lol I endure him in Interview with The Vampire only cause I love Brad Pitt and Antonio Banderas...those two could bite my neck anytimewhistle


dark4eyes (93)   ranked 2,329 out of 8,363 in watching movies  3 months ago

I agree with that - Tom Cruise ruined the Vampire movie. Pity because I love the books.

I wouldn't mind ONE bit if Antonio Bandaras decided to nibble on MY neck. He's DEFINITELY yummy!!!

I am the same way. I love a good movie even though I don't see enough of them. If I sit around and just watch TV I get so sleepy. When I got my cat over 14 years ago I watched the movie the Lion King and I fell in love with Simba and I named my kitten Simba even though that was a boy's name and she is a girl. I am not a big Harry Potter fan but I do like a lot of the "family" (kid) movies.


myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (8779)   ranked 7 out of 8,363 in watching movies  3 months ago

I love a lot of family type movies too...did you ever see Homeward Bound? I fell in love with the rather prima donna, wise cracking cat in the movie..Hehe


myLot reputation of 95/100. tyc415 (3265)   ranked 1,526 out of 8,363 in watching movies  3 months ago

Yes, I have seen it a few times and loved it.

Hi! I am totally adult enough to admit that I love kiddie movies and shows w00t

I love Pixar movies most especially Toy Story, Cars, and Bug's Life. It's fun to watch them because the animation is really good and of course, the stories are nice. As for cartoon series, I really love The Fairly OddParents and Spongebob. Aside from they being kid-oriented shows, there are also perfectly blended funny adult jokes in them. I don't know if the kids understand them though lol

I kind of feel sad for my classmate/ friend when she told me that her brother always tells her that she is already old enough to stop liking children's shows. She likes the character Winnie The Pooh a lot and of course, she loves watching the show. Too bad her brother's view about it is like that. I hope she gets to express her love for cartoons despite that. rolleyes


myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (8779)   ranked 7 out of 8,363 in watching movies  3 months ago

What a downer that your friend's brother is in a sense making fun of her for liking kiddie shows and movies..maybe in time he might actually change and might even get caught watching them himself....LOL
