This movie made me convinced someone was going to break into my house and steal my mom as a kid. Along with momming, her other extra responsibility was making sure I wasnt standing at the front door at night with my tiny dora baseball bat. :,)
No fucking way ... this actually is crazy to me, one of my most bittersweet memories was beating my asshole dad in the shins with i assume was the same Dora baseball bat... after he turned to me during an argument he was having with my mom and called her a meanie, i beat him and yelled "shes not a meanie, shes a NICE-IE!!!!!!!"
That actually sounds kinda cute, homie decked out in full baseball armor that's way too big for them, holding a dora the explorer baseball bat, ready to absolutely fucking murder any xeno who wants to take their mom, I love it
@@CaptainSoftboy501 i never understood why schools would promote astronauts as a viable job like shmucks that live in below average income families will ever attain anything good. Everything is circumstantial if you are born in a mid family you're fucked for being mid. Fuck this economy
I 100% now as an adult , this movie seems horrible, but since I watched it as a kid it made me appreciate all my mom did for me. EDIT: I was 9 when I watched this movie so I was pretty open to nay movie even if the graphics and story were horrible
I was 11 when this came out and my mom took me to the theater as a special treat. Losing my mom was already my biggest fear at this point in my life, so seeing this movie was not the best idea. That night, I slept in her bed. I woke up to a light coming from the kitchen and no mom. I completely lost my shit. She had just gotten up to check her phone but to this day, she says she’s never seen me so upset. F this movie.
I was one of the weirdos that actually liked it as a kid. Despite the horrendous CGI and very odd concept and writing, I adored its imaginative take on an alien invasion.
That was the *only* 3D conversion I saw that actually helped my immersion, rather than breaking it. Every other movie I saw in 3D was either overly gimmicky, had the conversion rushed, or simply never needed one in the first place.
Not gonna lie. The gribble backstory had me reeeeeally fucked up as a kid. I couldn't watch that scene without bawling my eyes out. Even through my teens I would sometimes call back to that scene in certain circumstances and get hella depressed for no damn reason. This movie fucked up a lot, but damn, did they fuck me up with the backstory.
me too, it really messed with me for a long time and i tried to forget about it. I watched it once and if my brother suggested we see it again, I had to try not to panic because I hated it so much.
It's the only family movie that I can recall where a character's mother is instantly incinerated onscreen. My mother was absent for most of my life but I still find that surprisingly grim.
Most people don't know that it's based on a children's book but the art style looks SOOO much more appealing than the hell spawns the movie had created. Like if you see the art style of the book, it makes you think they were made for a Disney movie to begin with.
Yeah, it was a book by Berkeley Breathed, whose works I grew up reading in Bloom County and the like. This movie was like Disney ate his book and took a big dump on it.
This movie had made me truly understand how strong my mom is and how much I took her for granted. I admit that when I was little, I wasn’t the perfect son, but after this movie it really put things into perspective.
This movie traumatized me so much that I was afraid that my mom would be taken away. So I made sure to never tell her I hated her or anything. I still haven’t told her that.
I completely forgot about this fever dream of a movie.... I also don't remember the aliens being slim thicc double cheeked up on a Thursday afternoon. The sun's not even out in this movie
youre definitely one of those people who comment random shit just based off of the title without not even knowing anything about the video just so that you can be one of the first to comment. well its better than just saying "first" at least
I watched this movie with my little cousin when it came out and the scene where the mom gives up her helmet traumatized her, like she was crying so hard she was stuck to her mom like glue for the next several months, I felt so bad for her 😭😅
No because I was so fucking paranoid that aliens would kidnap my mother and take her away. I was stuck to her like glue for three months before the fear subsided
they explain in the movie that the robo nannies completely break down after the time it takes to raise them so they gotta be rebuilt and rebooted which deletes data.. also the goal was to find the perfect mom.
This movie made me cry as a kid. I love my mom so much that the thought of her getting stolen from me by aliens to power some nanny robots, I broke out in tears and hugged my mom for a long time. I don’t have childhood trauma too much but if I made one of those Childhood trauma videos, this movie would be on tbere.
My English teacher was a lead script writer for this movie. The original script that my teacher wrote was a lot different than the version that came out. Unfortunately, my teachers version was scrapped in its entirety by the higher ups at Disney. This version of the script according to my teacher was alot better and more complex. Once everyone in my class found out about this movie and how hard it failed it became an inside joke between my classmates. EDIT: for those of you who think I'm joking I'm not.
was it legit better or were they saving their reputation as an English teacher? did y'all get to read it? it's not like this kind of thing doesn't happen but just curious
Mad Max: Fury Road. The 3D is only visible in scenes where it is purely there for the spectacle, with the key example being when a guitar comes flying out. Excellently done, and because it's not shoved down your throat the whole movie, it's actually appreciated.
I honeslty thought this movie was some fever dream as a kid. I had faint memories of scenes from the movie, I remember watching it, but I genuinely thought over time it was some sort of weird fever dream. That was until i found it on disney plus, and even though its not great, i enjoyed rewatching it. It was real after all :,)
Our family happens to be very close to Berkeley Breathed who was the writer of the original novel childrens book that this was based on. Milo is his son hence the main character. As soon as he handed over the film rights he had no creative control and the film was a mess and completely different to the book. Such a shame. Very bizarre film.
This movie was straight up traumatic when I was a kid, for some reason the design was just really flat out frightening for me as a kid, or maybe it was an uncanny valley thing
I remember this movie. It is sad some human parents are like those martians. Can't be bothered to get to know and raise their kid. So they let a tablet do it.
@@kayden232ou When this movie came out parents were letting television raise their kids. Before television, parents kicked their kids outside all day and if they didn't come home for dinner, 🤗
@@deathsecretary2055 I was in the in between of those times. I was watching tv and playing outside, which created a burst of creativity, like pretending to be the characters from cartoons and making stories... I miss it tbh, I don’t see why people still can’t do this…
I have a terrible almost crippling fear of losing my mother and this movie absolutely had me up staring out my window with a knife (yes a knife) for like three days until she caught me. I was sobbing that I didn’t want her to go to mars. She and I had some hot tea and slept in the living room watching Nemo my comfort movie.
as a kid I liked this movie, mainly because it looked cool with the lighting, landscapes, and architecture, the scene where the kid saves his mom was cool visually, with the sun in the background and the dusty Mars plains was aestheticly, the story could've been better(clearly), the character animation, etcetera, if they just had the studio make the scenes settings, and another company animate the characters(ik kinda dumb idea) that probably could've made the movie better.
@@LoverOfSesshy i think they made the movie around the concept of 3D so Spy Kids went out of their way to use the effect well. Coraline i think worked great in 3D because it was physical objects moving.
I was 11 back when I watched this movie and believe me when I say that I was traumatized. I for months believed that aliens at some point where going to take my mother away. I remember not being able to concentrate on school because of this. Now I look back…what dumb kid I was 😂 edit: so according to the comments I wasn’t alone at this 🤣
I would like to see your take on TRON and it’s Sequel TRON Legacy. I feel like the sequel is terribly underrated and I feel like it is an amazing movie is it the best? No. But is it good? Yes. The soundtrack by daft punk is probably one of the best parts about it and it is more original than some of Disney’s newer films.
*tron legacy* one of top ten favorite movies. The soundtrack, the visuals, the continuation of the story, the fight/action sequences, the bikes, freaking Jeff Bridges man I could go on about this movie. So yes I agree incredibly underrated. The first one is pretty good too considering when is was made(1982)
Tron, Tron UPRISING and Tron Legacy were some gems ngl. The colors and the story were fantastic and the characters were some of the best I've ever seen. He definitely needs to watch them they're so good
I watched this movie multiple times as a kid, but never heard anyone else talk about it so there were times I wondered if the movie really existed or if I was just insane, so seeing this video was very validating
I always thought this movie was just about the importance of love between a family and raising a child. Which is a great subject and I wish more movies would explore it because both adults and children should understand that. Now there are some animated movies that are a lot worse and have done better in the box office then Mars needs moms. So at the end of the day, I blame Disney for this movie's failure. Because when this was released I specifically remember having no clue it was even out when it actually was. Disney didn't care about this film at all.
i didn’t even know about this movie until this video & i watched a lot of disney movies around this time (mostly bc i was _extremely_ sheltered from my pastor parents & couldn’t watch like anything) i was about 11 or 12 when it came out too so i would have definitely remembered it & wasn’t too young or too old for the movie
this movie traumatized me. i remember my family was watching it at a hotel in palm springs and i had to leave the hotel room bc i got so scared and just walked around the outside garden area of the hotel as like a 7 year old😭😭
like 10 years ago when netflix still mailed dvds to your house before streaming (obv) i got this movie and watched it over and over cause it was one of the only dvds i had, watched it again like a year ago and i was just like... ew why did i like this
The one time I watched this movie was in the movie theatre, I was with my grandma and sister and no one else was in there with us. I was convinced we were in the wrong theatre
One really creepy thing about the animation, is with Gribble. He looks like my dad, like, EXACTLY LIKE MY DAD. Likes it’s 1 to 1 and it’s really freaking me out
I'd love for you to do a review of 'home.' When it first hit theaters, it didn't get good ratings and now I think a lot more people like it. My daughter and I watched it over and over. I'd love to hear your take on it. 😁
i remember seeing a trailer for the movie, wanting to see it, and then it being purged from my mind until now. but thank you for making it so i dont have to watch the movie.
this movie did so bad at the box office it killed the company that did the motion capture for mars needs moms the company shut down and Disney just let them die basically which is a shame 🙁and this film was based on a book of the same name
0:45 there was this scene I saw years ago that stuck with me because it was SO BIZARRE and so obviously shoehorned in just to remind the viewers that the movie was, in fact, in 3D: Journey to the Mysterious Island, "the pec pop of love". You type in the name of the movie here on youtube and that scene is the first suggestion that comes up and oh god I just rewatched it why why why
I remember going to the mall with my mom as a youngin and we happened to pass by and then into an interior theater playing this movie; I honestly thought it wasn’t terrible either but you’ve made me wanna revisit it: with my mom again of course.
The undertone of this movie gave me an intense feeling of darkness as a kid, I was watching it alone in a dark room and I remember not wanting to breathe because I didn’t want the aliens to hear me. I was already struggling to sleep without my mom so watching this sort of traumatized me in a way
Could you cover the Tron series? I've always loved those movies and it appears they get a lot of mixed reception. There was a brief resurgence in talk about Legacy specifically in the last year or two but I'd love to hear your thoughts on the duology.
I remember watching this movie so much as a kid and it always made me sob multiple times throughout. The more I tried to remember about this movie, the more I thought it was just a messed up dream I had
I feel like if someone was on gribbles position, seeing their mom kidnapped and murdered by aliens would try to go fuckin duke nukem on them “Nobody steals our moms, and lives”
I think about this movie so much like the whole moment when the mom was like “go to bed” and he WENT to bed but didn’t go to sleep and got sassy with the mom
I remember watching this movie as a kid, and I honestly thought it was a fever dream because no one has ever talked about it. Thank you, now I feel a little bit less crazy lol
I think the best way mo-cap was utilized in a 3D animation was in: The Adventures of Tintin (The Secret of the Unicorn). Idk I just found that movie well made.
I remember seeing the trailer for this when I was five and wondering if it was good or not so I forced my older brother to watch the movie so he could tell me what it was all about because I thought he had a better opinion on things than I did and I’m pretty sure you know what he said after he saw it
Fun fact, I'm 90% sure the Smaug mocap wasn't mocap. He basically wanted to really fit into the character, was even given a mattress in the recording booth to say his lines and crawl around, but none of the mocap was actually used. So it's kinda funny watching the mocap clips of Cumberbatch crawling around on the floor knowing none of that was used
Fun fact, Gollum was not actually mocapped, because it didn't exist yet. He was completely hand animated with ya boi Andy as a purely visual reference for Gollum's face and movements. Gollum was only actually mocapped in the Hobbit movies
When Bionic said he's never seen a 3D movie where the 3D wasn't a gimmick, I feel like he hasn't seen Avatar in 3D. That movie perfected 3D and made it a surreal experience beyond just watching a movie. It was also the only movie that pulled that off, so to be fair I see why he says that.
I remember very clearly when this movie came out, I saw it in the theater with my dad. That morning, my neighbors down the street got some new porch lights installed. When I went to bed that night, I saw the lights down the street and I swear to God, I thought it was the aliens coming to take my Mom
Oh, I remember watching this movie as a kid! My brain will just pull up the memory of it ever few months and I was always had no freaking clue where it was from.
i dont think this movie was actively trying to push a "traditional" way of life on people, i think it was more saying that the family unit (2 parents and child(ren)) is a much more effective, rewarding, and important to people, and are wonderful things to experience, rather than letting a machine, or someone else with their own agenda and morals, raise YOUR child(ren), and how losing one or both of those family units can hurt a child, and affect them later in life, as we see with Gribble
this movie is so strange, i can’t explain it. the animation is so unsettling, the undertones are concerning, and all the characters are extremely unlikable. it’s crazy to think someone thought this was a good idea in the first place
It's a 2011 film, all of the "problematic undertones" that might be gleemed from it are just product of its time, everything that the film "secretly implies" and "tries to say" is literally just the way things were at that time. Like, i remember watching it when it came out and i saw nothing wrong with the whole "you need a man and a woman to raise a child" because that's just how everyone thought at that time and trying to imply that those were undertones and implications is just disingenuous, since at the time sexuality wasn't a discussion so same sex marriage was considered "weird". Now does that mean that the film thinks all women should be housewives and marry a man who does all the work? No, of course not, that'd be idiotic, they are simply reflecting how society was in the past, even if their beliefs were different they couldn't just make a film that considers same sex as something common because THAT would have been idiotic and probably not as well received .... in 2011. (or whenever they even started production) Tl;dr: the film reflects what everyone thought at the time, all implications are just our more progressive mind now looking back at the film and scoffing at what we now consider normal that they didn't in 2011. (A literal DECADE ago.) anyways no hate, much love, nice vid, also the bird is my new fav character.
Nah, LGBTQ rights were definitely around back then and people knew pushing the narrative of one man one woman was homophobic. You were just living in a homophobic area which was definitely more common back then.
It really wasn't homophobic man. Even being lgbt myself, it'd be kind of mad to suggest Mens/Ladies isn't the 'norm' as in standard, most common denominator. That's to say that now too, let alone then. I mean even our Penguin brethren adopt babies from elsewhere. Kind of how things work. That isn't (shouldn't be) something controversial. If anything I think it makes us kinda perfect. Means we can fill gaps in nature and help the diddly ones who otherwise may not. Blessing for 2 (well 3 but ya know) souls at once. Reality isn't controversy Imo.
Imagine thinking that having a message which states the simple fact that having a mother and father working together produces the best kids (statistically accurate) is problematic... Oh well, some people just want to be upset about anything and everything. Great review though!
Women choosing to be housewives is obviously not wrong or bad but they should be allowed to choose other professions as well without dumbasses crying about it
the animation in this movie scared me so much as a kid. my mom used to have the dvd and everytime she would put it on i would run away and hide and cry out of fear. it gave me so many sleepless nights the animation was so scary. it's a childrens horror movie.
I remember watching it as a little kid and growing up simultaneously thinking it was some sort of road-trip induced fever dream and terrified that my mother was going to be stolen away in the middle of the night if I didn’t show I appreciated her enough. Good to know that others have suffered because of it as well.
This movie made me convinced someone was going to break into my house and steal my mom as a kid. Along with momming, her other extra responsibility was making sure I wasnt standing at the front door at night with my tiny dora baseball bat. :,)

I watched this movie multiple times as a kid, but never heard anyone else talk about it so there were times I wondered if the movie really existed or if I was just insane, so seeing this video was very validating
I always thought this movie was just about the importance of love between a family and raising a child. Which is a great subject and I wish more movies would explore it because both adults and children should understand that. Now there are some animated movies that are a lot worse and have done better in the box office then Mars needs moms. So at the end of the day, I blame Disney for this movie's failure. Because when this was released I specifically remember having no clue it was even out when it actually was. Disney didn't care about this film at all.
i didn’t even know about this movie until this video & i watched a lot of disney movies around this time (mostly bc i was _extremely_ sheltered from my pastor parents & couldn’t watch like anything) i was about 11 or 12 when it came out too so i would have definitely remembered it & wasn’t too young or too old for the movie
this movie traumatized me. i remember my family was watching it at a hotel in palm springs and i had to leave the hotel room bc i got so scared and just walked around the outside garden area of the hotel as like a 7 year old😭😭
Why must you keep reawakening those dead memories that are so deep in my mind
coralline is the only movie i watched in 3D and thought it improved the experience
like 10 years ago when netflix still mailed dvds to your house before streaming (obv) i got this movie and watched it over and over cause it was one of the only dvds i had, watched it again like a year ago and i was just like... ew why did i like this
This channel helps me find movies I’ve forgotten about. My fondest memories with my mum is sitting down and watching movies.
Before I start the vid, I would like to say that this movie traumatized me so hard as a small child and it made me fear death
The one time I watched this movie was in the movie theatre, I was with my grandma and sister and no one else was in there with us. I was convinced we were in the wrong theatre
I always thought this was an “uncanny movie” it makes sense that the Polar Express is connected
One really creepy thing about the animation, is with Gribble. He looks like my dad, like, EXACTLY LIKE MY DAD. Likes it’s 1 to 1 and it’s really freaking me out
This movie terrifyed me. when ever I think of it I have tell my mom I love her because I don’t want to lose her
I'd love for you to do a review of 'home.' When it first hit theaters, it didn't get good ratings and now I think a lot more people like it. My daughter and I watched it over and over. I'd love to hear your take on it. 😁
I literally was just about to comment that! Such a cute comfort movie.
people didn’t like home ?!
i remember seeing a trailer for the movie, wanting to see it, and then it being purged from my mind until now. but thank you for making it so i dont have to watch the movie.
I remember seeing ads for this and thinking it looked weird af. But I also remember thinking, "Ki's kind of a baddie tho."
This movie legitimately made me scared and cry as a child and fear my mom was going to be stolen
Damn, these martians have no right being so caked up.
this movie did so bad at the box office it killed the company that did the motion capture for mars needs moms the company shut down and Disney just let them die basically which is a shame 🙁and this film was based on a book of the same name
Yes, all this information was in the video you're commenting on
@@leahdavis9434 im just saying im surprised
Thank you for adding the term "alien juice pistol" to my vocabulary. It is surprisingly flexible when referring to a number of inappropriate things.
0:45 there was this scene I saw years ago that stuck with me because it was SO BIZARRE and so obviously shoehorned in just to remind the viewers that the movie was, in fact, in 3D: Journey to the Mysterious Island, "the pec pop of love". You type in the name of the movie here on youtube and that scene is the first suggestion that comes up and oh god I just rewatched it why why why
Oh my god not the pec pop I am so sorry
I remember going to the mall with my mom as a youngin and we happened to pass by and then into an interior theater playing this movie; I honestly thought it wasn’t terrible either but you’ve made me wanna revisit it: with my mom again of course.
seeing ur bird made my day 10x better, birds are so underrated as pets
This movie was the second ever movie I cried during, the first was King Kong but damn the Dribble storyline had me sobbing
That punisher meme never gets old, lol
I forgot about this movie till now. Saw it in the theaters when I was a kid...buried in suppressed memories till now. Thaaaanks.
Omg Benedict on the floor...xD I'm dying LOL
The undertone of this movie gave me an intense feeling of darkness as a kid, I was watching it alone in a dark room and I remember not wanting to breathe because I didn’t want the aliens to hear me. I was already struggling to sleep without my mom so watching this sort of traumatized me in a way
I never had a mother to begin with but this movie still scared the crap out of me
Could you cover the Tron series? I've always loved those movies and it appears they get a lot of mixed reception. There was a brief resurgence in talk about Legacy specifically in the last year or two but I'd love to hear your thoughts on the duology.
I remember watching this movie so much as a kid and it always made me sob multiple times throughout.
The more I tried to remember about this movie, the more I thought it was just a messed up dream I had
I know it’s an old movie but would love to hear your take on Time Bandits. One of my personal favorites. So much to love.
Thanks for your channel.
I feel like if someone was on gribbles position, seeing their mom kidnapped and murdered by aliens would try to go fuckin duke nukem on them
“Nobody steals our moms, and lives”
I love this movie because it's so sh*t at everything. Including the story!
I think about this movie so much like the whole moment when the mom was like “go to bed” and he WENT to bed but didn’t go to sleep and got sassy with the mom
I remember watching this movie as a kid, and I honestly thought it was a fever dream because no one has ever talked about it. Thank you, now I feel a little bit less crazy lol
I think the best way mo-cap was utilized in a 3D animation was in: The Adventures of Tintin (The Secret of the Unicorn). Idk I just found that movie well made.
I remember seeing the trailer for this when I was five and wondering if it was good or not so I forced my older brother to watch the movie so he could tell me what it was all about because I thought he had a better opinion on things than I did and I’m pretty sure you know what he said after he saw it
Fun fact, I'm 90% sure the Smaug mocap wasn't mocap. He basically wanted to really fit into the character, was even given a mattress in the recording booth to say his lines and crawl around, but none of the mocap was actually used. So it's kinda funny watching the mocap clips of Cumberbatch crawling around on the floor knowing none of that was used
Fun fact, Gollum was not actually mocapped, because it didn't exist yet. He was completely hand animated with ya boi Andy as a purely visual reference for Gollum's face and movements. Gollum was only actually mocapped in the Hobbit movies
If you have done this movie ignore me but you should review "The Little Prince" underrated movie that is absolutely amazing and I think you'd love it
When Bionic said he's never seen a 3D movie where the 3D wasn't a gimmick, I feel like he hasn't seen Avatar in 3D. That movie perfected 3D and made it a surreal experience beyond just watching a movie. It was also the only movie that pulled that off, so to be fair I see why he says that.
It's getting dark in MA and the rain is about to come down AND I'm off work today. What a perfect time to find myself here! :)
I remember very clearly when this movie came out, I saw it in the theater with my dad. That morning, my neighbors down the street got some new porch lights installed. When I went to bed that night, I saw the lights down the street and I swear to God, I thought it was the aliens coming to take my Mom
Oh, I remember watching this movie as a kid! My brain will just pull up the memory of it ever few months and I was always had no freaking clue where it was from.
i dont think this movie was actively trying to push a "traditional" way of life on people, i think it was more saying that the family unit (2 parents and child(ren)) is a much more effective, rewarding, and important to people, and are wonderful things to experience, rather than letting a machine, or someone else with their own agenda and morals, raise YOUR child(ren), and how losing one or both of those family units can hurt a child, and affect them later in life, as we see with Gribble
2 parents+kids...that sounds just like a traditional family doesn't it?
that is literally pushing the traditional standard

That bird is so adorable ✨💖✨

This movie existed already 11 years later long forgotten
this movie is so strange, i can’t explain it. the animation is so unsettling, the undertones are concerning, and all the characters are extremely unlikable. it’s crazy to think someone thought this was a good idea in the first place
It's a 2011 film, all of the "problematic undertones" that might be gleemed from it are just product of its time, everything that the film "secretly implies" and "tries to say" is literally just the way things were at that time.
Like, i remember watching it when it came out and i saw nothing wrong with the whole "you need a man and a woman to raise a child" because that's just how everyone thought at that time and trying to imply that those were undertones and implications is just disingenuous, since at the time sexuality wasn't a discussion so same sex marriage was considered "weird".
Now does that mean that the film thinks all women should be housewives and marry a man who does all the work? No, of course not, that'd be idiotic, they are simply reflecting how society was in the past, even if their beliefs were different they couldn't just make a film that considers same sex as something common because THAT would have been idiotic and probably not as well received .... in 2011. (or whenever they even started production)
Tl;dr: the film reflects what everyone thought at the time, all implications are just our more progressive mind now looking back at the film and scoffing at what we now consider normal that they didn't in 2011. (A literal DECADE ago.)
anyways no hate, much love, nice vid, also the bird is my new fav character.
Nah, LGBTQ rights were definitely around back then and people knew pushing the narrative of one man one woman was homophobic. You were just living in a homophobic area which was definitely more common back then.
It really wasn't homophobic man. Even being lgbt myself, it'd be kind of mad to suggest Mens/Ladies isn't the 'norm' as in standard, most common denominator. That's to say that now too, let alone then. I mean even our Penguin brethren adopt babies from elsewhere. Kind of how things work. That isn't (shouldn't be) something controversial. If anything I think it makes us kinda perfect. Means we can fill gaps in nature and help the diddly ones who otherwise may not. Blessing for 2 (well 3 but ya know) souls at once. Reality isn't controversy Imo.
saying it was a "product of its time" when it was made in 2011 is hilarious. "how society was in the past" my guy, it was 10 years ago not 100.
@@SombreroPharoah nah, defining straight people as "normal" and anyone else as "weird" is how you get lynchings.
I remember watching this movie as a kid and I was super impressed by the emotions it made me felt honestly.
My mother used to show me this movie and threaten that aliens would take her if I lied to her.
Imagine thinking that having a message which states the simple fact that having a mother and father working together produces the best kids (statistically accurate) is problematic... Oh well, some people just want to be upset about anything and everything.
Great review though!
because not all families have a mom and a dad. some have 2 moms, 2 dads, sometimes one of them dies and living spouses chooses to not remarry.
@@azadalamiq That doesn't make saying that having a mother and a father is best problematic.
Women choosing to be housewives is obviously not wrong or bad but they should be allowed to choose other professions as well without dumbasses crying about it
@@Mechjeb661 yes it does
@@jacm4150 Explain? Or are you the type to state that something is bad just 'cause?
Bro your hilarious honestly keep up the great work bro
Take a shot every time Aaron says "fuck you Disney"
i get so excited when shadow is in the video, i love watching him toddle around while you talk it’s so cute
Seeing Eggs Benedict flopping around on the floor in order to be a dragon will never not be funny.
the animation in this movie scared me so much as a kid. my mom used to have the dvd and everytime she would put it on i would run away and hide and cry out of fear. it gave me so many sleepless nights the animation was so scary. it's a childrens horror movie.
I remember watching it as a little kid and growing up simultaneously thinking it was some sort of road-trip induced fever dream and terrified that my mother was going to be stolen away in the middle of the night if I didn’t show I appreciated her enough. Good to know that others have suffered because of it as well.
"You know the classic parenting tactic of scaring your child" best sentence ever lol 7:35
thank you for resurfacing this long-buried memory lol
