So I know this still from Dumbo looks all cute and what not but let me tell you — when I was little I remember this movie being really messed up and making me cry and hate the circus and be very confused whether or not elephants could fly.

Lady and the Tramp 1955

When I was really little Lady and the Tramp was the only Disney movie we owned. I think there was a year when I watched every single day. I’m still scared of Siamese cats. I still love this caterpillar.

This is the sort of thing I would have loved when I was a little girl. The puppy, the tutu, the ballet slippers, the ribbon in her hair — it’s really quite delightful. A child’s version of a Degas painting.

I have so many things to say about Guess Who?. First of all, this game is pretty unintentionally anti-women, which I find amusing, but just because it was made in the 80s, so, of course. Secondly, I am constantly seeing people in real life who I think could be a Hank or a Carl or a George — like, some people are best described as Guess Who? characters. Thirdly, I want someone to make a movie from this. I mean, if we’re making movies from board games (which we are) then why not just get after it and do Guess Who? Although if you think about it, all these characters are probably at least over 40 and some of them are divorced and maybe have kids — if Apatow did dark, then maybe he could do the live-action Guess Who? film adaptation. Do I want to do this? What started as a joke now has me considering. Fourthly, while we’re on the subject, how about an Apples to Apples movie? Okay I don’t actually want that.
(Also, I hope you’re impressed with how committed I’ve been to properly crediting the title of this game as Guess Who?, question mark and all).

Hi why hasn’t there been a live-action Ms Frizzle movie yet and who would play Ms Frizzle? I can almost see Maya Rudolph as being an inspired choice. Also, what was that lizard’s name again?

Scully, GPOY, forever. And yes I know exactly what episode this is from (Season 5, “Bad Blood”).

Okay. I would give my left arm if someone could find a way for me to play with this version of Kid Pix right now. This was my JAM in the early 90s.
