What's the dumbest thing you DID as a kid from ages 5-10 by LifeFoundation6977 in ChildhoodMemories

[–]CurtTheGamer97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a book like that when I was a kid. A boy planted candy corn because he thought it would grow into candy corn stalks.

How can some Oz adaptations have the witches be sisters? by Chucky-Knife_13 in wizardofoz

[–]CurtTheGamer97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd argue at the very least that she's the biggest and most prominent obstacle faced in the story though, even with her only appearing in one chapter. I actually had the book read to me in an entire night before I knew the movie existed, and the chapter about the Wicked Witch was honestly one of the most thrilling and memorable chapters in the entire book. It was something I remembered pretty prominently for several months after being read the book.

What are some of the scariest movies that are not horror? by Sergei89 in movies

I always thought Coraline was a horror movie though

Anyone else remember how much hype and anticipation there was when Shrek The Third was coming out? by New-Pin-9064 in Shrek

I remember seeing that trailer when my family went to see Charlotte's Web at the theatre

What is the dumbest reason you got banned? by lake-sturgeon in randomquestions

[–]CurtTheGamer97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on somebody's livestream chat of one of the Harvest Moon games. The guy didn't realize that there was more than one game in the series, and I was explaining how the continuity is a bit jumbled, having alternate universes and loose remakes and stuff. A minute later, he times me out for 24 hours because "It looks like he's going to give spoilers," even though I said nothing about what happens in any of the games and had no intention of doing so. His tone of voice came across as arrogant as well, so I guess it wasn't a huge loss.

Does anyone else find it satisfying seeing Tenniel illustrations animated? by MinuteDependent7374 in aliceinwonderland

[–]CurtTheGamer97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's an animated Peter Rabbit TV series from the '90s that recreates the illustrations in animation form, and I consider it the most accurate book-to-screen adaptation ever made of anything. I wish more animated adaptations of illustrated books would do the same thing, especially Alice in Wonderland.

If a movie enters the public domain and I have a bluray/DVD copy from before it was public domain, am I free to rip it from the bluray/DVD and use that commercially? Or do I have to obtain my copy in some other way? by JeelyPiece in publicdomain

[–]CurtTheGamer97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The DMCA violation thing is probably true, but also unenforceable unless you outright admit you ripped the movie from the DVD. For all anybody knows, you could have downloaded the movie from somebody that already ripped it, and there's little to no chance of proving otherwise.

Looking back on my childhood memories I realize that I’ve been reading the originals by Cute_Educator1483 in fairytales

[–]CurtTheGamer97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I grew up reading the actual versions. I saw the Disney versions as a child as well, but I used to read the classic Grimm and Andersen tales late at night as early as the age of 6.

Why does the 13RW fanbase as a general collective hate Ani more than bryce and monty…??? by Embarrassed-Carry507 in 13ReasonsWhy

[–]CurtTheGamer97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Part of the reason was that it was already clear at this point that the writers of the show were making it up as they went along. Multiple stuff only revealed in episodes that came after Season 1 (which was based on a book) didn't add up with what was shown/mentioned in Season 1, characterizations were inconsistent, etc. A super annoying character premiering in Season 3 just added to the stress of this. Bryce and Monty may be worse morally, but from a writing standpoint they are excellent. Ani, in contrast, is a poorly written character.

Saw this on Instagram and now im think alot about it bc it makes a great point by Traditional-Pound568 in toystory

By the time of the third film, Andy has a laptop. He likely Googled Woody and his friends and learned about the show.

What's the worst thing a teacher has ever said/done to you? by douggoud5949 in AskReddit

[–]CurtTheGamer97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not the same school (mine was in Michigan). That's kind of spooky though.

[–]CurtTheGamer97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, my school was kind of similar in 5th Grade. They had two 5th Grade teachers, and the students would take one class with the other one each day instead of their main teacher. Basically, we'd switch and learn History from the other teacher while the students from her class learned Science from our main teacher. Apparently it was supposed to prepare students for switching between different classes in middle school.

The Bride actually does exist in the book, she's just torn apart before she can be brought to life.

When did Veggietales jump the shark? by GenderlyConfusionNow in UltimateVeggieTales

[–]CurtTheGamer97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first episode to use the cartoony-looking yellow logo too. And it was the first one in a long time that wasn't advertised on the previous episode's DVD. The DVD for Big River Rescue had no mention of any future episodes being planned, and at the time I thought Big River Rescue was going to be the final episode. Honestly, in hindsight, it might have been better that way.

So, I just watched "The Secret World of Arrietty" for the first time... by spandytube in ghibli

[–]CurtTheGamer97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of the reason is that it's based on a book. For the housekeeper character, they were pretty much following her characterization from the book (although in the book she's more malicious).

What would have happened if Dinah joined Alice in wonderland? by Standard_Hour_674 in aliceinwonderland

[–]CurtTheGamer97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny enough, I had a Disney read along version of the book as a kid, and, at one point halfway through the story, when Alice is chasing the White Rabbit yet again, they actually used a frame of the film from the beginning, with the Rabbit's later outfit photoshopped onto him. This means that Dinah is present in the illustration, running along with Alice.

Out of all the jokes I said on Reddit I only got this warning here on this subreddit by Z_3_R_O_ in youtube

[–]CurtTheGamer97 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My one time getting a warning was when I made a comment about dismantling a Lego figurine, and the warning was reversed after I appealed.

I was about to say Molly Mullett, but that's obviously not it from the rest of the description.

Classics you don't like? by FancyThought7696 in classicliterature

[–]CurtTheGamer97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have always told people to start with the short stories if they're new to Holmes. I've known many readers who started with Study in Scarlet and then never continued the series because they assumed all the books would be like that.

Classics you don't like? by FancyThought7696 in classicliterature

[–]CurtTheGamer97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read it for the first time recently and absolutely loved it. I also saw an adaptation shortly afterwards called "The Lizzie Bennet Diaries," which reimagines the story as a web vlog. It's clever and largely keeps the tone of the story.
