Anyone else "catching up" on their childhoods now?

Me either, I do remember watching Quack Pack and the Little Mermaid show inhotels when my family went on vacation though.

I finally got around to watching Chicken Run, I remember seeing ads for it as a kid and thinking it looked neat but for whatever reason I never got around to it til now and I definitely enjoyed it, probably better I didn't see it as a kid though as the implied death of that one chicken probably would've messed me up as a kid LOL.

I actually saw the Little Mermaid tv show before I saw the movie LOL, I think I caught an episode or two of the Aladdin show.

Fantastic Mr Fox that's another one I always meant to check out but never did, i'll have to change that.

I actually saw the sequel first and rewatched that a fair bit as a kid but never got around to seeing the first film or Go Wild until I was an adult for some reason, the 2nd film I think is the best of the bunch.

I also think the sequel is the better, but I have a bit more nostalgia for the first film.

Now for the next-to-last entry in my "movies-I-saw-tons-of-ads-for-as-a-kid-but-never-got-around-to-watching-til-now" category-the 1998 Michael Keaton family comedy "Jack Frost"(not to be confused with the 1996 horror film of the same name, which the filmmakers knew the existence of and referenced jokingly during promotion of the movie)definitely for the best I didn't see this one as a kid as it's got way more sad stuff then the TV ads give the impression of. They make you think it's going to be all "woooo Micheal Keaton as a snowman!" antics and there's definitely plenty of that but there's also the sad tragic stuff about Charlie's dad dying and a year passing and him getting depressed and withdrawn(which some critics at the time like Dustin Putman definitely took issue with being baffled as to why anyone would want to a watch a christmas movie like this where a parent dies?)that needlessly to say does not mix well at all with the light-hearted comedic moments of Jack getting used to being a snowman and upon seeing that the film had FOUR different writers the tonal whiplish definitely makes sense. Feels like very writer had their own idea of what the movie should be-a film about a dad learning to put aside his dreams for the sake of his own family, a light-hearted comedic adventure about a snowman come to life-a drama about a kid learning to deal with the death of a loved one-a sports films about a hockey player having to learn to believe in himself. The film is definitely a mess and the entire premise is kinda wrong-headed as it feels wrong to punish Jack as he dies in spite of having a change of heart and turning around from a potentially life-changing gig to go and see his family, if this is supposed to send a message why punish Jack despite him realizing his mistake? If you insist on killing him off have him actually go to the party in Aspen and then get killed on the way back after getting the band signed and then have him learn a lesson. That being said the film does have it's good points like the snowball fight scenes, the snowboarding scene done to Swirl 360's "Hey Now Now" is really well done and put a grin on my face and definitely made up for the depressing last 15-20 minutes.

Seeing Nostalgia Critic's review of Ghostbusters 2 and his suggestions on how to fix the movie got me thinking about how I would fix this film, and here's what i'd do-tighten up the pacing, when a film takes 2/3rds of it's running time to get the main premise it better earn it and this movie definitely does not, the pacing issue really hampers the film. Next i'd have Jack actually go to the gig in Aspen and have his band actually get the deal, and then Jack drives through the snowstorm in spite of his band warning him not to and goes off the bridge like in the film, only this time nobody finds his body and that whole "one year later" timeskip never happens, instead you have Charlie playing the magic harmonica that makes Jack come back to life that day and he shows up at home(as Charlie and Gabby didn't feel like going to the cabin without him)and we get the usual snowman antics in the film(also Gabby is convinced Jack died in the crash but Charlie is convinced he's still alive and we periodically get news reports on TV about the search for Jack)and helping Charlie with Hockey and what-not, but then Mac finds out about Jack being a snowman and wants him to continue with the band(thinking it could still work with him being a snowman as people watching them perform would just assume it's a band gimmick)and now that the band is signed they've got an opportunity to play a big festival and start a national tour and Jack considers going but changes his mind after meeting with another musician-Rory Tuck(the bully always hassling Charlie who never met his own dad)'s own father who abandoned his family before Rory was even born to try and chase his dreams of being a succesful artist only with much less success then Jack, he sees Rory's father as a dark reflection of himself and ultimately decides he does not want to end up like him and makes it back in time for the hockey game (which plays out same as in the film)then after the game Gabby sees Jack in snowman form for the first time and after apologizes for neglecting his family over the years Jack turns back to normal much to the family's delight, Mac sees him and asks about the band and Charlie tells Mac that he's good enough to take over his role in the band and go on without Jack and the two say goodbye. Then Rory comes along and sees Jack back and looks depressed until his own dad shows up and the two hug and then we cut to the end scene from the film with the kids playing in the snow only this time with Jack and Gabby both watching them and then the film cuts to the Jack Frost Band with Mac now in the lead role playing a concert on TV and the end credits play over the band playing the song from the beginning of the film(i'd also potentially throw in a romantic subplot with Natalie and Charlie as the film sort of seems to be hinting at that and it was potentially in an earlier draft of the movie).

Couldn't get into All Grown Up myself after the first special aired, and didn't have much further interest in Rugrats, Spongebob had long eclipsed in a LOT of people's minds, including mine.. We had cable again, so I at least got to watch some of the original All Growed Up special, and I think I liked it? I think? 

I never got why Teacher's Pet got a movie either. I mean, yeah, it has style and a cult following, but...why? Who was this for? Was Disney just sticking random shows they could push into theaters and "hoping" the low enough budget could still net a profit? As Rebeltaxi said in his video (paraphrased): "Give it a slightly bigger budget, bank on that familiar IP, and let the cash roll in." He pointed out how a LOT of movies tried for The Rugrats Movie effect, whether or not they were successful enough IPs.

Didn't know about Kim Possible, sadly that's one show that also got cursed with "I caught some clips and a random episode here and there." 
We rented Doug's Big Movie at some time, and I recall liking it too! Surprising, considering I just thought the show was "deent" or "good" and not one of my favorites. 

I think All Grown Up is worth giving another shot, here's a really great video on it:
