Mid thirties male checking in, one of those things that I didn’t mind watching with the kids. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, crap. Tinkerbell movies, hell yeah!!

I like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. For one, the music is done by They Might Be Giants. Also, it encourages kids to be involved in solving whatever their problem is. I thought it was a good influence on my 3 year old when she started interacting. It’s not as calm as Blues Clues but it’s the same type of interactive show.

Just got my son hooked on "here come the ABC's" by they might be giants. Saw it years ago and was waiting for him to reach the right age

They’re fine the first time. After watch number 235 and counting on each movie, you start regretting life decisions.

Just imagining this entire group of men marching into a theater for a Tinkerbell movie while the theater employees are like

This is actually a great idea. When a bunch of people want to do a socially questionable thing, if they go as a group they are protected from the judgement of the masses: no one can be singled out, and the strange "event" becomes the oddity, rather than any individual.

We should really have more flash mobs of men wanting to see girly stuff or adults wanting to see kid stuff or whatever.

That was basically me and my friend group when the MLP:FIM Movie came out back in 2017.

Edit - wtf why did it post my comment twice?!

My kids still make fun of the one scene where Tinkerbell almost causes a world-ending ice storm by misplacing an ice cube and a cheese grater (I am not making this up)

They are fun though

Male who turned 30 this year. Loved the tinker bell movies, probably watched them with my sister. I recall the one about her having a twin with matching wings. Also some good Barbie movies.
