      Yeah, that part never made sense to me. Out of the whole movie, the one part that little ol' me could not comprehend was the fact that Max called Lava Girl's hair purple when it was obviously hot pink. I never questioned anything except for that part of the movie when I was growing up.

    This movie is like an actual fever dream, and to watch it as an adult is so different than growing up with it as a kid. And I'll tell you the one, biggest reason why we loved it. Texture. The texture in this movie, from the costumes to the horrible CGI stuff to the milk and cookies scene - everything just feels so satisfying like you can grab it. Plus most of us saw it theaters or at home with 3D glasses (because the DVD case came with them too lol) so that was pretty cool for the time :)

  • @iminumst7827

    This movie is so special and charming because it was a faithful recreation of a real child's dream. It's not supposed to feel like a dream, it really is a dream, which lends it authenticity and makes it connect with children in a way no adult could really understand. And because the dream was that of the director's kid, this movie is a love letter from a parent to a child. Instead of adults trying to make a digestible mass marketable product based on what adults think kids like, this movie actually listened to what kids wanted. No movie better captures the wild imagination of children in such a way, and in that way it's an artistic accomplishment. Art in movies isn't about making the most easily to understand series of events possible, art in movies is capturing an expression.

    One thing that I think was severally under-developed in this move was the minor subplot about Max's parents fighting & possibly getting a divorce. There are seeds for it planted throughout the movie, but it's not really a factor. The writers could've used it to explain why Max focused on his dreams so much that he eventually got as wrapped-up in them as he did & developed that subplot a bit more so it doesn't come across as tacked on.

  • @notfred1233
    @notfred1233 Před rokem +9

    The movie is a true exercise in Jung's concept of the collective unconscious, with the dreamworld interconnecting with the other students who were asleep and the running theme of dreams throughout it. That's not even counting how the movie transcended the concept and now lives in the collective unconscious of society itself, with seemingly everyone remembering it. Overall, there are a few deep notes here that may have been overlooked by the general problems of kids movies. The concept could certainly be interesting if applied in a different film.

They were still paper red, and blue glasses with lava girl and shark boy themed glasses I wanted shark boy ones. Alsoooo I got the DVD as a kid and they had a 3-D version too with their own pairs of glasses. I was obsessed. The whole nostalgia of it also the concept of dreams can become reality was a great concept for a kid. Especially one with an imagination like I had. Also spykids’ troublemaker animation in the beginning always gave me waves of excitement as a kid too 😂😅

    Robert Rodriguez, the director of this film, was notorious for two things: Making films with really low budgets (So the CGI always looked crappy), and making movies for kids. Not pandering, formulaic stuff often seen in kids movies, but movies that felt like he understood what it was like to be a kid. This and Spy kids may seem really disjointed with weird dialogue and action and a confusing plot, but to a kid, it's the coolest shit in the world. That's why these films are so beloved.

    i resent my sister for not hitting me harder any time i'd ask to watch this movie as a kid. Now i'm ashamed of how much i used to be obsessed with it.
