[XemaSab]

into Warner Brothers and Disney shit?

Seriously.

[LeftyMom]

4. Can you possibly question the awesomeness of watching Coyote go off the cliff,

dwindle to a minuscule speck, followed by ... ... ... Poof!

:shrug:

[billyoc]

5. Brainwashed by their children?

:shrug:

6. I am now 57 and loved Finding Nemo and other Disney movies.

The voices, knowing who they are in real life, and the charm of the stories.
Having a parrot as a pet, the gulls cracked me up saying, "mine, mine, mine, mine".

I am also a big fan of Spongebob, Family Guy and the Simpsons.

I was introduced to muppet-like characters in the 50's with the Wilkins Coffee commercials. I just had to do a Google check on it to see if they were Henson characters, and they were. I loved the muppets ever since then.

My daughter finds it hilarious that I love this stuff. We watch alot of it together.

[XemaSab]

8. I'm not talking about watching Disney movies

I'm talking about having half your house decorated in Disneyana... :scared:

[elshiva]

12. Hmmm, do these grown ups have kids?

Then that would explain it, if there are kids...

buffy

[XemaSab]

13. No kids

[elshiva]

15. People collect all sorts of junk.

It could be worse: Confederate Flag memorablia... :puke:

[Danger Mouse]

[Digit]

23. I stand corrected...I am not THAT big of a fan. eom

[Danger Mouse]

7. I...I like Pokemon and Kingdom Hearts.

:cry:

[elshiva]

9. It's not all shit

[Fire Walk With Me]

10. I'm not a grown adult.

Love Warners but loathe Disney.

[elshiva]

11. Classic Warner Brothers is definitely better than

current Disney.

17. Depends on our mental age too...

I could say that parts of me haven't grown up yet at all and probably never will. Besides if you have kids yourself it's a good excuse to watch with them.

Also could be a learned thing: if you entertain your kids with these things and you watch nothing else, maybe that does become entertainment to you because you're watching what the kids watch and that's really your choice of entertainment.

Could also be yearning for when we were kids again and remembering a simpler time.

But then who do you think makes all this stuff up in the first place? Sure isn't kids you know.

Mark.

18. Question, if I want my bedroom to look like this...

Am I acting like a kid or an adult?

[XemaSab]

19. Kids these days

are unaware of Mario, so I'd say you're acting between the ages of 28 and 35. :P

[Runcible Spoon]

20. how about sexually themed Hello Kitty tattoos?

What does that tell you about someone :P

[Solon]

21. HA HA! Score!

At least I'm acting my age then! :D

Oh, and just to let you know, not all kids these days are unaware of Mario, the first game my 4 year old nephew played was Super Mario Bros. on the NES. I believe first impressions are important! :)

[elshiva]

22. If you go down that pipe

are you able to breathe underwater?

Awesome room, Solon. You have such great taste. :hug: ;) :*

buffy

[PVnRT]

35. You're acting FUCKING AWESOME

[Connonym]

24. You can make me grow old but you can't make me grow up

I have a stuffed Tigger sitting on my desk right in front of me. He's bouncy good.

[NJmaverick]

25. Nostalgia?

Reminders of a happy childhood

[bertha katzenengel]

26. Some folks accept bits of joy wherever they can find them --

And have no reason to apologize for whatever gives them joy.

[Crazy Dave]

27. Because one day....

I want to see the coyote catch the road runner

[MissMillie]

28. Some grownups want to hold on to some piece of their childhood

And that is probably a good thing.

[MicaelS]

29. Warner Bros Rocks, Disney Sucks

Seriously, Disney was made for children. Warner Bros cartoons were made for adults BY adults. As one Warner animator said. "I'm making this stuff for ME." With Disney eventually you get tired of the sweetness, (Yeah, c'mon SHOOT Bambi's mom!) with WB, you can enjoy them for the slapstick humor, or the cultural in jokes relevant to the times. And at the WB toons didn't wimp out on violence as so many 'toons do today. American animation today basically sucks, that's why so many people who love animation have turned to the Japanese version.

Finally, anything forbidden is exciting, and I would love to have pristine copies of the Banned Cartoons for the sake of seeing what people thought and said back then and to have a complete collection of every Warner 'toon.

30. Escapism from the mundane. Appreciation for flights of fantasy. --

The colors, man the colors!

[blueraven95]

31. well, early Disney was made for a much larger audience than today

lots more adult fare.

We watched a lot of early animation in some of my film classes when I was in college, and I was amazed at some of the very adult themes. Besides that, say what you will about Disney as a corporation, Walt Disney was a stickler for quality and made sure that his cartoons were drawn at higher frames per second than many other animators. It creates a smoother, more intricate film. I haven't seen most of the more recent Disney films, and I can't count Pixar as really being Disney, so I won't comment further here.

I truly do not get the collections, but if it makes them happy :shrug: it doesn't bother me at all.

[MsTryska]

32. because it's entertaining?

I don't generally like Disney stuff - it's too ..well Disney for me.

But i did like Finding Nemo and Happy Feet and Ratatouille. And i dig Harry Potter. And for some unknown reason I LOVE hello Kitty. Especially when she's covered in bling.

[Z_I_Peevey]

33. Because Daffy Duck makes me laugh. Bugs makes me laugh.

You didn't include Bullwinkle and Rocky, but they make me laugh too. I like to laugh. That's pretty much it.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

34. because i can let my hair down and enjoy kungfu panda, or some such thing

why are so many adults so uptight?
