00:00What's the first kids movie you remember going deep for you?
00:02And how would you say it inspired you afterwards?
00:05I mean, we grew up where we got some years between us,
00:08so we probably won't give the same answer, but I think mine might have been
00:14Toy Story, maybe.
00:16I think Toy Story was one where it was like, oh, I'm going to say the same thing,
00:20too, though. Oh, really? Yeah.
00:21Yeah. Are my toys sentient?
00:23Is this a thing? Yeah.
00:24Do they have feelings?
00:26Should I not be throwing them across the room unthinkingly?
00:30I don't know. Yeah.
00:31I mean, that just made playing with toys so much better.
00:33I think just thinking that they could be real.
00:36Yeah. Yeah.
00:37That was a big one for me, that.
00:38And and I just think Lion King is a really.
00:42That's crazy, because that was the other one that I was thinking of saying, too.
00:45Yeah. Fathers and sons and the idea of taking your rightful place
00:50in the world and and stepping into your destiny.
00:53And those are big themes.
00:55And I think this movie, you know, DreamWorks has told so many great stories
00:59from Shrek to how to train your dragon.
01:01And with this one, I feel like we're really delving into some heavy material
01:06that's going to hit both adults and children.
01:08Yeah. I mean, that's crazy, because those were two of the same things
01:12that came out of my Lion King and Toy Story. Yeah. Yeah.
01:15For me, it's probably Secret of NIMH.
01:17That was the one that I kind of globbed onto when I was a kid.
01:20It scared the bejesus out of me.
01:23I don't know if I can say bejesus, but it did.
01:25And as you know, it's like that it got a little deeper when it went
01:30a layer or two deeper.
01:31That and Fox and the Hound for me explored the characters
01:35and their friendship and their bond.
01:37And it just like, you know, tore my heart apart.
01:40I remember when I was a kid.
01:41So maybe those two are the two that went deep for me early on.
01:44Yeah. For me, I think, well, there's two that come to mind.
01:48Stand By Me is one, but I know it's not a kid's movie.
01:51But as a kid, it was like a very
01:55impactful movie on me and memorable.
01:58But American Tail, I think, animated was one that
02:05really got me.
02:06And I think it's that feeling of being
02:09left, lost, abandoned,
02:13pulled apart from your family that I think really
02:17was relatable and emotional for me as a kid is like
02:21that that the character is is not
02:25is basically lost, it feels like.
02:27And and that that had a lot of impact on me as a kid.
02:31Oh, another one is E.T.
02:32And it's not dissimilar from this story and the fact that Elliot is very smart,
02:36very wise behind his ears.
02:37And he's scared of this alien for obvious reasons at first.
02:41But then over the course of film, he gets to know him.
02:43And then you can love something so deeply that you previously were terrified of.
02:47It was was really.
02:48Yeah, E.T. was a big one for me as well.
02:50I cried at the John Williams.
02:53John Williams played E.T. in Indiana Jones.
02:56And when they played the music for E.T., I was crying.
02:59Yeah, absolutely.
