Kind of strange watching this in 2024, realizing almost everyone in the film, even the little kids, have now passed on.

What?! There are plenty of 80+ year olds still around from that time.

Had the same thought the other day. Sadly I was watching a home movie.

No evil DEI and complete indoctrination of the children!

If the parents would just give the kids a hot breakfast, there would be no need for political shenanigans for a hot lunch. Enjoy that tax hike, folks! 😄
