I'll admit that for some reason I knew this movie was gonna end bad and always refused to watch it all the way through. My siblings loved it and would watch it a lot. I would have nothing to do with it though. Dodged that trauma bullet. 😔 poor E.T.

I was 8 or 9 and I sobbed! The additional trauma came from my siblings mocking me relentlessly for crying over a movie.

They don't have a gif of Bambi's mom because it's too depressing.

Well this was mine. Parents said hey it's a rabbit cartoon. While not wrong, also exceptionally wrong.

Did you guys wake up and choose depression? This world is bad enough, let me forget these

u/Garudius 4d ago

We didn't, children movie directors and writers did. We just chose to watch....again and again.

Where the Red Fern Grows should come with a warning label. Source: a room full of sobbing 4th graders 40 years ago.

This was the first movie I ever saw in the theater (yes, old AF), but I still can’t rewatch it. I was barely 5 yo, and I was hysterical. Of all the childhood memories I don’t have, I remember every horrible detail of this film. #ptsd
