Time has a list of 10 saddest kids’ movies, in light of the minor-key note played by Toy Story 3. If you start with Bambi, you can click through the list to see trailers, clips, and explanations.
We watched Toy Story 3 over the weekend and loved it. It gets intense at the end, and two of my girls didn’t like that part, but overall it was a great story. All three Toy Story movies are good and funny. The latest edition is great tale of loyalty and purpose, and it’s moving because I’m sure viewers want to have real friends who are faithful like the toys are.
I’ve never seen any of the Toy Story movies, and have no plans to. This is not because I think them bad films. It’s because of my unresolved childhood issues–I just can’t face this.
I’m sorry. I wish I could help you through those issues.
Time also included Bambi in its list of Top 25 Horror Movies. An odd inclusion, if you ask me.
I consider Bambi one of the most destructive movies of my lifetime. In one stroke, it began the demonization of the honest pastime of hunting.
That’s a fair criticism of Bambi. The story could be told without making hunters into faceless demons.
But we should also remember that timeless proverb: We eat, therefore we hunt.
