Not a movie, but the worst cartoon show ever made was Captain Planet. God that sucked.
But I'll bet that when this guy was a kid he watched Mary Martin as "Peter Pan" and clapped his little hands to bring Tinker Bell back to life.
No, what makes it worrisome to you is that it might interfere with the school system's efforts to inculcate in children a blind faith in the writings of Karl Marx. ;)
I was a kid when that show was on and it gave me the willies, gaya worship, wonderful messages about how corporations are evil... (sarcasm) what really bothered me was the subtly of it all, I wish they would have made their message more clear (/sarcasm)
Remember Ted Turner’s “Captain Planet and the Planeteers”?
Oh I completely agree. But my minor point was that if (in the leftist critics' view) the film is so righty, it would have found a different industry for Bob Parr to work in.
It was SO bad, that my daughter's high school class made a spoof of it for their Homecoming skit . . . and won the prize. They pilloried that show mercilessly. (It's a conservative school . . . though not conservative enough for my daughter, who is somewhere to the right of Attila the Hun.)
"They're constantly finding ways to celebrate mediocrity!"
I thought that was one of the funniest, most insightful lines in the film--that and "if everyone's special, then no one is."
A terrific film, BTW.
G.I. Joe, the first season, trumps all Eighties 'toons. I also like the writing on the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, even though the title song and animation are stuck in an Eighties time warp.
