It's pretty hard to make a kids movie that is just as appealing to adults. I find most kids movies irritatingly stupid now that I'm an adult.

I hyped up the Never Ending Story to my kids, only to feel embarrassed after re-watching it with them.

A while back I bought the complete DVD collection of the old Land of the Lost Saturday morning kids show. I LOVED that show as a kid.

It was...... well it kinda sucked.


I still enjoyed watching it because of the fond memories, but my wife, who is younger than me and had never heard of it looked at me like I had two heads. She couldn't see how in the hell I liked it.

I tried to make my wife watch Congo because I loved Amy. She ruined the movie for me 2 minutes in when she told me she didn't want to watch a movie with a fake gorilla in it. I always thought Amy was a real gorilla

If Monster Squad, Goonies, or Little Giants is mentioned in this thread, you can all go to hell.

Kids films wouldn't bother me much because I know I won't like them as much as I did as a kid.

Movies like In Search of the Castaways or Island at the Top of the World.

I have been too scared to revisit It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World because I don't want the memory of laughing til I cried ruined.

Big Green.

Absolutely no character development. It makes zero sense that the sheriff and coach get together. There is no advancement in that relationship.

I got blasted in a Saving Mr Banks thread that this summer I watched Marry Poppins for the first time since my childhood and got really bored with it.

First movie I remember seeing in a theater. Parents brought me to the ice capades and it was sold out so we watched Pete's waiting for next show.

The early 90s TMNT cartoons are horrible. So is Power Rangers.

If going to Blue Bayou after the age of 20 counts then yes, that.

As for movies, honestly no

I rewatched Pete's Dragon as an adult. It is still awesome. I even bought it on DVD.

Not sure if it counts, but recently bought and re-watch every boy meets world and it's still as good as ever.

Oh, and Homeward Bound 1 and 2 still goes so hard. Even though the love between delilah and chance was a bit forced in the second. Oh well.
