    Tbe trauma of watching Fivel and ET as 3/4yo triggered a lifetime of anxiety. What’s up with all the horrible traumatizing movies in the 80?! Bambi?! WTF, why show that to kids?

      To teach them about death as part of a story with a happy ending. I think that The Lion King does it better though as they’ve already been briefed on the circle of life.

        Oh life is already so hard and sad, let the kids have a couple of good anxiety free years! ET was so traumatizing as a kid that I refuse to ever watch it again lol
