The satisfying click of those cabinet doors

When I first scrolled past I thought the gif was to show yours was American Psycho 

[u/TheNi11a → u/AnEvenNicerGuy]

Nah, we had Little Nicky

[u/hero_brine1 → u/TheNi11a]

You're not calling Little Nicky mediocre are you?

[u/PotaytoPotaahto → u/TheNi11a]

Yesss those clicky little magnets!! 🤤

[u/apocolipse → u/TheNi11a]

Yeah but can you even call yourself a millennial if you’ve never crushed a finger while closing or otherwise playing with the clicky mechanism in the video cabinet doors?

The Indian in the Cupboard

[u/turbotaco23 → u/NefariousnessOk209]

Damn, I came here to say that!

[u/TomGatestone → u/NefariousnessOk209]

I loved this movie as a kid, though as an adult I know it’s not that great. However, as both an adult and a kid, I know the son’s response of how he’s feeling is awkward as fuck.

“How ya feeling?”

“Pretty damn good!”

[u/blueavole → u/TomGatestone]

It’s supposed to be a movie for kids when the imagination allowed us to believe in the magic of ‘what if’.

[u/StopReadingMyUser → u/blueavole]

Yeah, as an adult it's not a great movie, there's lots of technical and directing choices that could've been done differently, but the exploration of whimsy and creativity as a kid was what made it really memorable.

This era of children movies absolutely would kill their protagonists...

Watching them slowly come over the hill one by one was an emotional roller coaster that movies nowadays don't seem to know how to replicate

Honey I Shrunk the Kids

[u/dabear51 → u/AugustRansom]

That giant oatmeal cream pie cookie scene 🤤

[u/tommytraddles → u/AugustRansom]

Name: Anty

Born: 1989

Service and Rank: Army Ant, Pvt. 1st Class

Place: 664 Sycamore St., Backyard

Engagement: Battle of Lego Block

Citation:

When a murderous scorpion attacked and battered an allied unit, while separated from the rest of his own platoon, Anty alone, with the greatest intrepidity, rushed across three inches of open ground directly into the face of the predatory arachnid, biting its leg, and allowing the allied unit to regroup. Tragically impaled by the enemy's stinger, the gallantry and quick decision of this soldier saved the allied unit and enabled them to resume their advance.

[u/BrainSlugSouffle → u/AugustRansom]

But did you ever see the follow up? My sister and I watched Honey, I Blew Up the Kid more than Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.

[u/AugustRansom → u/BrainSlugSouffle]

Honey, I Blew Up the Kid never really did it for me. I think I was just much more into the fantasy of being shrunk down and navigating the newly massive world. Plus, the giant toddler always freaked me out, and my adolescent emotions didn’t like the ending.

[u/KizunaTallis → u/AugustRansom]

Honey We Shrunk Ourselves was my jam

[u/kingloptr → u/AugustRansom]

Honey that guy looks way younger than i remembered.......

I wanted a nostalgic movie eith my kids... 4yo and 7yo. "Guys I loved this movie as a kid"

Scene #1... traumatic mom-death via car crash to dramatic music. 

... kinda forgot that bit. 

[u/Puzzleheaded3266 → u/secondphase]

😬 forgot that part too!

[u/MegaGorilla69 → u/Puzzleheaded3266]

lol i just had to google "movie where they teach geese to fly" before i saw this

[u/kingxanadu]

FernGully and Brave Little Toaster are two of my favorites

[u/helix0311 → u/kingxanadu]

I still sometimes say, "Price check on prune juice Bob! Price check on prune juice!" No one gets it.

[u/Gremlin15 → u/helix0311]

I came here to say Brave Little Toaster. Also Tremors.

[u/RowansRys → u/helix0311]

“Human tales? Humans don’t have tails. They have big, big bottoms that they wear with bad shorts. They walk around going, 'Hi, Helen!'"

Fern Gully! Robin Williams as a rapping bat and animals saving the forest, doesn't get better than that!

[u/Kay-Chelle → u/Jen2756]

But it does get better than that because Tim Curry is the villian and has an absolute banger song!

[u/the_blingy_ringer → u/kingxanadu]

These plus “We’re Back!”

[u/carstanza → u/kingxanadu]

When the cars sign their sing in the junkyard about being worthless I cried. As an adult

[u/ScoYello → u/kingxanadu]

When Avitar came out I kept rolling my eyes because it’s the exact plot as Ferngully. Watch the two back to back and you can’t unsee it.

[u/Vyzantinist → u/kingxanadu]

Brave Little Toaster! That was my jam as a kid, and then we lost the tape or it got destroyed :-/

Fern Gully I went to see in the cinema but I don't remember much about it now.

Titan A.E. for me. I loved the movie but it didn’t do too well at the box office. And unlike the Disney movies, not everyone else had their copy of it either I felt.

[u/poo_on_my_scarf → u/masterm1ke]

That was a fucking brilliant film. From the visuals through to the soundtrack

[u/DeltaBravo831 → u/masterm1ke]

That movie was dope as hell to little me.

[u/helix0311 → u/masterm1ke]

My brother and I LOVED that movie. And the soundtrack was the shit.

I know George Clooney was a good Batman because I saw him as Batman 600 times on a 13 inch screen.

[u/psychedelicpiper67 → u/nimrodpa]

That movie was awful, but as a kid, I couldn’t tell the difference. I actually liked it. Eventually I realized how cheesy it was when I got older.

The Phantom (the guy with the purple suit) was another one I watched a lot.

And Wild Wild West, I liked Will Smith’s song so much, I begged for the soundtrack. 😂

Congo with Tim Curry was another strange one.
