In fairness I do not recommend watching the Don Bluth fever dream movie while sober so you are doing it correctly

I read that Campbell had some creative direction in the film so that's why it goes off the rails sometimes.

reply

nystre.bsky.social•11 days ago

the scene from this movie where the kid gets turned into a cartoon cat is maybe my earliest memory and then most of my childhood memory besides that is blank. now you know why nystre is the way it is

reply

nystre.bsky.social•11 days ago

this was so deeply ingrained in me I actually did not know if the movie even was real or what its name was until I was talking about this with someone as an adult. I have not gone back and watched it so I actually have no idea if the way I remember the scene is anything like the actual scene

reply

mainmandarin.bsky.social•11 days ago

I am grateful for this Nystre lore and I am pleased to report the movie is consistent with jamcat physiology: extremely entertaining but also completely bewildering

reply

nystre.bsky.social•11 days ago

I'm going to be honest I don't remember anything else about the movie besides a live action person becomes a cat and even the details of how that scene plays out or what causes it aren't clear to me, but it is burned on my DNA

land before time is a good parable to the mormon migration hahaha

reply

forzaroo.bsky.social•11 days ago

Could definitely fit, yeah. XD

I always thought it interesting that Don Bluth is (or was, he's not super outspoken about it) Mormon, considering how many characters in his movies have a weirdly horny energy.

reply

87octane.bsky.social•11 days ago

Mormons are VERY repressed and look for any outlet so it makes comPLETE sense to me

reply

forzaroo.bsky.social•11 days ago

Yeah, that's definitely true. XD

reply

familiaralien.bsky.social•11 days ago

Its a weird one that's for sure. I did watch it as a little kid but I couldn't tell you any of the plot except a real human child turns into a cat and there's a weirdly sexualize chicken lady in it.

reply

familiaralien.bsky.social•11 days ago

At least I think she's a chicken. She could be a different bird for all I know her design is very weird that's all I remember.

reply

mainmandarin.bsky.social•11 days ago

I think she was a pheasant, but like. That bird's species was "woman"

reggiejworkshop.bsky.social•11 days ago

Ah yes, the movie that's often considered to be the one that ended Don Bluth's' winning streak he had throughout the 80's. As weird and disjointed this movie is, I got to admire that Bluth's crew went all in for it.
Plus, it still has a great voice cast! Features the last VA role for Phil Harris!

reply

mainmandarin.bsky.social•11 days ago

I totally missed this movie as a kid, but it’s amazing to think there’s a timeline where I saw this instead of Who Framed Roger Rabbit and still ended up a cartoon bird on the internet but with a completely different roster of kinks. Duino Scenario B

But it's still one of my favorite childhood movies that I enjoy despite its flaws.

This movie is also the reason why one of my OCs came into existance thanks to certain fox named "Pinky" x3
