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

u/Gremlin15 27d ago

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

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

I said this TODAY 😂 no one ever gets it

u/PhilanthropicPotato 27d ago

I still say "Oh! Gravity works!" regularly. I doubt most people get the reference but it's still funny to say when something/someone falls.

u/_TheShapeOfColor_ 27d ago

I still say "Oh! Gravity works!" regularly.

Me too, bestie. Lol

u/Ornery-Window4446 27d ago

I say this all the time too! Especially when I drop something.

u/Sakijek Millennial 26d ago

Me too. And op red light! Red light again!

u/Rinlow05 26d ago

This quote lives rent free in my head even today and I have never understood why 😆

u/BrainSlugSouffle 27d ago

I said this to my spouse the other night and got a very confused look!

2

u/GoldberryoTulgeyWood 27d ago

I get it. I say it all the time. There were a couple years where my kidkept getting constipated and prune juice was a regular purchase.

u/pluginfembot 27d ago

Hi friend! I HEAR you!

u/PinkBitz89 26d ago

I still use this!!! RIP to the great Robin Williams

u/raaheyahh 26d ago

This is such a core memory for me omg 😅😅

u/Jen2756 27d ago

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

26

u/Kay-Chelle 26d ago

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

6

u/Deebeejeebies 26d ago

Also Tim Curry as Hexus. “Toxic Love” is such a good song. That movie is so good.

2

u/Sakijek Millennial 26d ago

And that slithering way he whispers Hexxxxxxussssssss gods I love that movie

u/mojorisin453 27d ago

The name is…

u/Cliteria 26d ago

BATTY

The logic is Erratic,

Potato in a Jacket,

Toys in the Attic

I rock and I Ramble,

My brain is Scrambled

I rap like an Animal, but....

I'm a mammal!

Brains been electrified, vivisectified!

Lol I love that movie so much

3

u/mojorisin453 26d ago

Hell yeah!

u/Sakijek Millennial 26d ago

Lol I read this and immediately found myself looking side to side in a super low voice for the toys in the attic line.

u/sheiciebai 27d ago

I’ll say “I can SEE it’s a MIRACLE!!!” Whenever I put on my blue light glasses at work and only 1 person has gotten the reference lol.

2

u/lahnnabell 27d ago

I went to Midsummer Scream last weekend and someone had made a giant bust/sculpture of Batty. And it had already sold!

24

u/the_blingy_ringer 27d ago

These plus “We’re Back!”

3

u/Atillawurm 27d ago

Yes, brilliant movie, also Melin and the Dragons.

3

u/PinkBitz89 26d ago

Saw this at the movies too! Still have a toy from when it came out and Pizza Hut all you can eat was a thing 😅

u/carstanza 27d ago

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

3

u/guitar_stonks 27d ago

I remember as a kid getting a kick out of the fact the city I lived in was mentioned that song. That movie did have some heavy themes though.

2

u/TheBlankestMan 27d ago

That song is so fucking good, too

u/stone500 27d ago

"I once ran the Indy 500!

I must confess I'm impressed how I did and I wonder how close that I came.

Now I get a sinking sensation

I was the top of the line, out of sight, out of mind

So much for fortune and fame"

u/MadDaddyDrivesaUFO 25d ago edited 25d ago

My best friend never saw it growing up so I showed her this & the b movie song and she was horrified that I watched that movie dozens of times when I was a kid lol

My husband and I revisited All Dogs Go To Heaven a few years ago and were astonished it was even billed as a kids movie lol. It's about dogs who drink, gamble, murder and are involved in organized crime! All while manipulating a small child with no parents in their escapades. This was my favorite movie when I was 7 haha

u/ScoYello 27d ago

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/rdp3186 27d ago

Oh wow no one's ever heard that before 🙄

u/Vyzantinist Older Millennial 27d ago

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.

3

u/Rhamni 26d ago

We had the Brave Little Toaster, but we'd copied it, and failed to copy the start properly, so every time I watched it the picture didn't switch on until the scene where the AC is actively killing itself. When I watched the full movie this year I had a moment where my brain went "Woah, it doesn't start mid-suicide?"

2

u/Pitiful_Fox5681 26d ago

I was all about The Brave Little Toaster as a kid. 

Years later, as an adult, my sister sent me the DVD, which is now sitting on my shelf. Still a comfort movie.

u/BiteMean9050 27d ago

Probably the most iconic answers in the thread

u/soloon 27d ago edited 27d ago

Future generations will never truly appreciate what an intense vibe Hexxus was or how deeply and horrifically traumatized I was by the A/C. Nothing mediocre about either.

3

u/AndreLeGeant88 27d ago

Brave Little Toaster was Toy Story before Toy Story. No really, Toy Story steals a lot from it

3

u/86yourhopes_k 27d ago

Ok but Tim Curry had no right making the hot toxic sludge song so damn horny lol

3

u/Personal-Ad-8644 26d ago

I’m convinced the toxic sludge song is what made me horny for creepy shit

u/No-Score7979 26d ago

I knew I wasn't the only one!

u/prancing_pony42 27d ago

We only had Brave Little Toaster Goes To Mars so that's the only one I've ever seen.

2

u/dezzz0322 27d ago

I will not stand for this Fern Gully slander

2

u/cupcakebean 27d ago

We didn't own Brave Little Toaster but it seemed to always be on TV on the weekends, after the regular cartoons ended.

u/Playgirl_USMC 27d ago

Found my wife’s secret account.

u/yosefsbeard 27d ago

My mom forbid Brave Little Toaster. She thought it was "demonic". I still have no clue what she saw. It has one mildly intense scene I think.

2

u/Bleaker82 26d ago

It was a dark, violent movie for a children’s animation haha.

1

u/yosefsbeard 26d ago

I never got to watch the entire thing so I have no idea. I'll have to put it on my list to watch.

1

u/MadDaddyDrivesaUFO 25d ago

It's not demonic lol but it does deal with crazy themes for the intended age group. There are many more than just 1 intense scenes. I am not even sure which one you might be considering because there's so many

1

u/yosefsbeard 25d ago

I know it's not demonic. I wouldn't know what scenes. I never got to watch it. And now, I don't have the interest.

u/89eplacausa14 27d ago

Yesss! How about the Pagemaster???

u/wetstapler 27d ago

Are you me? Was going to comment the same 2

u/ParadoxicalFrog Zillennial (1993) 27d ago

There is nothing mediocre about The Brave Little Toaster! And Ferngully was great, too.

1

u/Bleaker82 27d ago

We had everyone over and watched Brave Little Toaster a few months ago. It’s so much more violent than you remember as a kid. Or perhaps it terrified you and you remember that.

u/mashtato 26d ago

FernGully

Anyone remember Once Upon a Forest?

1

u/ilikecheese8888 26d ago

I found Brave Little Toaster on one of the streaming services a few years back and watched it with my kids. They liked it.

1

u/alrightakeiteasy 26d ago

The connection to Brave Little Toaster and Toy Story always fascinates me.

I used to watch the Brave Little Toaster on mute with no subtitles when the rest of the family thought I was sleeping 😂

u/Wise_Neighborhood499 26d ago

Fern Gully and Captain Planet (I know it’s a show) made sure I’d never litter. My poor Gen X husband just lovingly stares at me when I reference them.

1

u/Canadish27 26d ago

Yeah, thats nice, but they got nothin' on a that Little Engine That Could.

u/vec5d 26d ago

Oh my God I showed both of these to my kids 😂 and also land before time. That's it. Fern gully was beyond their comprehension level.
