So I've been gone for two weeks now. Sorry about that. I've been busy with work training and kid stuff, and I'm still recovering from a week long migraine/virus. It's been hectic around here.

Anyway.

Cameron and I are HUGE animation fans. Our Amazon video library is mostly Disney and a hand full of Pixar movies. And with having a 2 year old, you can imagine that the TV is always playing something child friendly. Well today I decided to watch Toy Story because Robbie hasn't seen it, also I apparently needed a good cry.

Watching this movie made me think of all the animated flicks that will make a person a little misty, and I started to wonder if the creators of these shows are really just black hearted, soulless, torturous assholes who wish to make adults sad.

Look at Inside Out. I know loads of kids and adults loved that movie, but it was far from a happy tale. The little girl the emotions belonged to was clearly depressed, AND THERE WAS NO REAL RESOLUTION AT THE END. I hated that one. It reminded me and millions of others of our terrible early teen years. Who makes a movie like that?

Oh that's right, the original buttfaces who gave us tearjerkers like Bambi, The Fox and The Hound, Lion King, and Dumbo. Then they made Andy grow up and get over playing with all of his toys. Jerks. I guess they weren't satisfied with the damage they did to our feels with the first Toy Story, because they made two more.

There was also Up. We don't talk about the crying that happens in my house when that one comes on. It was so not meant for children. They just can't get the complexity of the grumpy old man.

And what about when Ray dies in The Princess and The Frog? He finally gets to be with Evangeline. Insert multiple crying emojis.

My point is, we are all gluttons for punishment and the kid flick creators know it. So they stab at our feels while entertaining our children, AND WE PAY THEM FOR IT.
