NOTE: You can skip the italic paragraphs if you want. And go on with the question at the end.

So we all have those movies that we can watch today and still cry like a baby like when we first saw them when we were children. Some of us here still are pretty young, and I'm not too old myself. But when I come around movie I saw when I was around the ages of 5-10 they bring me a bad case of nostalgia. I always end up crying even if its the happiest movie in the world. Just seeing how much I've grown and gone through and how I've changed, including everything around me really touches my heart.

I'm a real cry baby, a softy. I may look big and mean, and sometimes like a boy even. But deep inside I have a huge spot in my heart for old animated movies. Like your classic Disney movies.

These last few days, I have been feeling sad again. Some of you have noticed that I've been updating my status lately stating that I'm depressed and such. Well, I don't really know why, but it just happens. Every little thing that goes on in my life I over think it and it always manages to get me down. I am my worst enemy. I am my own cause of my depression. And to help myself go through all the sadness and stress I submit to my old favorite movies. The ones I watched when I was a child, and didn't care about how I looked or worried about my problems. Seeing those movies really help me out. They're like a mental/emotional therapy. Now, sorry if I got a bit off topic there, but I just wanted to explain why I often watch kid's movies. Because not just because I like them, its because they really do help be get through life a lot easier.

Right now, I'm going through The Land Before Time movie series. One of my all time favorites. There are a lot of TLBT movies, but the one closest to my heart is the very first one. Not only the animation and the art style is a lot better than it is now (on my opinion) but it had a lot more emotional drama and more heart than the more recent ones do. There were no singing and such, and it was a bit more "dark". Which is why I find it to be more serious than the ones now. <3

Childhood movies I've seen again within the past few years include at least The Fox & the Hound, Toy Story, The Lion King, and Walt Disney's version of Robin Hood. All still great.

Looking back, I can't believe Brave Little Toaster didn't scare me back then.

Oh man..

There's some movies that I watched pretty much on loop as a kid..

Land Before Time, All Dogs Go To Heaven, Dumbo, E.T., Lady And The Tramp, Lion King, Goonies, The Princess Bride, The NeverEnding Story, Labyrinth.


More than anything they just opened me up to imagination I honestly didn't have otherwise.

I had a less than ideal childhood, and these gave me places to explore when I would day dream.

They also got me into reading anything I could find.

I grew up in in offices, work environments and when I was 'free' I was outside... So, I never really watched childhood movies (seen a few now, as my wife made me watch them).

I think the closest thing to Childhood movie would be a TV Show 'Boy Meets World' which did teach me a lot. I also caught a few Step By Step and Seventh Heaven episodes as well. Good shows! Then you have my old time favorite show; Fresh Prince of Belair :-)

Hopefully those can count for me, as I really didnt see many child hood movies... Oddity I call thee EN4CER - lol
