      While I agree that AYAotD took some serious risks, today's kid shows aren't half bad. I remember the first time someone showed me Gravity Falls, and told me it was on DISNEY CHANNEL, and I was like, "...since when does Disney Channel scare the shit outta kids?" And Over the Garden Wall is one of the scariest, trippiest things I've ever seen; I was amazed to find out it was actually aimed at kids, not adults.

    @LogueTheRogue Před 5 lety +9

    I will always remember the "Tale of the Quicksilver" - it had a lasting effect on me even to this day decades later. The message of that episode was follow directions carefully - as the main character realized that he was using a stainless steel spoon when the ritual called for silver. An honest mistake that his brother paid for with his life. Probably why I am a software engineer now due to my obsession with following instructions. Will always love being a 90s kid.

      @DanielBMS Před 5 lety +3

      @@AaronBowley It does have the advantage of having one one of the few dark endings. What killed it for many of us is that we loved idea of video games being acknowledged in a mainstream show. But instead they made the arcade machine a pinball game, and the video game references felt uninvolved.

      interesting that you mention that. I discovered that most of the shows aimed at kids that I enjoyed the most, came out of Canada. starting with 'you can't do that on television' all the way up to 'fifteen'. apparently they've been ahead of the curve when it comes to compelling television aimed at a younger audience that doesn't condescend or talk down to them.

      Watching it now, there are certain episodes where you can hear a random "aboot" or something similar. It was filmed in and around Montreal.
      I think that made it ahead of its time. One thing I notice about the show now is that they had numerous episodes with interracial couples and they never made any deal about it. They just portrayed it as normal, which was very refreshing.

    • @daveincognito
      @daveincognito Před 5 lety +1

      A lot of shows and movies were primarily filmed in Canada. The exchange rate was great back in the 90's, and the Canadian government gave film makers a sweetheart tax deal if they used enough Canadian workers to make the films.

    I had an episode called Tale Of The Hatchet on a VHS tape for years, I watched it loads of times but I was hardly an avid viewer of the series.

    The funny thing is about this show is that it was made years before I was born and I still fell in love with it , it should come back but more scarier 🤤

    Great video! I used to watch this religiously on SNICK. I bought the entire series for 20 bucks on what looks like some bootleg DVDs. Gotta love the fact that the same company that produced this serie produced the crow TV series. Both were set in Canada too.
