Boy Mike,it makes me wonder what producers are thinking today? I never met a Jew that I didn’t like. I have lived in South Florida half my life and I’m in N Florida now. Same mixes here as there. Climate change is going to make everyone down there trade property for up here. It will be wild to watch.
Dr suess having racist drawings doesnt ruin my childhood because he felt guilty for it and moved on as a person, eventually even made horton hears a who partially based on getting over biases and listening to other countries. Knowing people can change and regret being bigoted is a nice thing.
He was never a racist. I don't know how many times I have to explain to people that they are not the center of the universe and times were different in the past. Nobody, including Seuss had racist intent when he made yellow people yellow. Nor did he when he made white people white or black people black. Everybody needs to get over themselves and jump down off the high horse because I guarantee if you looked into any of these people screaming racism, you'd find that they are the most racist people of all. Not talking about you, speaking generally. All I'm gonna say.
I heard quite some time ago how when they wanted Shirley Temple to cry in a scene they would tell her something terrible had happened to her pet or her family that was cruel so I can imagine how the other young stars were treated
This is what I came here for! Sound of Music was made in 1965, not 1939! The Wizard of Oz & Gone With The Wind were both made in 1939. ALL 3 are amongst my favorite movies! Gimme a Classic Golden Hollywood movie ANYDAY, over a Snow White remake with WOKE ideologies! Or pretty much ANY remake!
Thank goodness Big Bird wasn't in the shuttle, the explosion was traumatic enough, can you imagine a whole generation of kids watching big Bird being blown up on live tv!
The Sound of music was not made in 1939. That wouldn't even chronologically make sense for the movie. It was Gone with the Wind made in 1939. The Sound of Music was made I believe in 1965.
TSoM was released in March of 1965, but made in 1964. And you're right about Gone With the Wind. It was the other film directed by Fleming in 1939. He even received an Oscar for his direction of GWTW.
Bobby Driscoll was found in NYC and because he wasn't identified, he was buried in a mass grave on Hart Island that served as their Potter's Field. Once you're buried there you stay there, so his body rests with others who were buried at the same time. Oh, and visiting Hart Island is strictly limited.
Lolz Yeah. In reality tho there never should be a statute of limitations on things like that. Rape even statutory, grooming and stuff all is almost as horrible as murder. Somtimes it takes years to fully admit to yourself much less others that you were raped and/or taken advantage of in that way so if you have evidence even if it was 60 years ago you should absolutely be able to go after the person in criminal court cases along with others too. As of right now most places have the limitations still on everything. It's understandable that you can't be charged with some crimes if it was done a very long time ago and they have not committed similar crimes more recently because they possibly have changed but why does it matter? If you commit a crime you are supposed to get jail time... even if you have changed your entire life and gotten better you should serve time maybe not as many or whatever else but somthing expesally when it's crimes that harmed others on a personal lvl like rape, grooming. Abuse mental and physical, ect. If it was a petty theft then I fully understand as long as they haven't continued to do so it should not mess everything up for somone who maybe stole something small from Walmart a few times many many years ago. But taking advantage of underage boys? This effects the child for te rest of there lives and most likely caused them to need more mental health care which is extremely difficult to get properly and expensive for proper care. The person who did that to them should have to pay for all that plus be in jail even if they are not caught and didn't have enough evidence for many many years.
The principal from ferris Bueller also played the dad on Beetlejuice and the creepy villain in Howard the duck two other childhood favorites... That's even more creepier
@ Having known the bio food chemist who worked on JELLO, it is Beef marrow. The marrow has been used for centuries as aspic. Why do they give you JELLO in the hospital? JELLO was originally designed to help people who had difficulty swallowing food and if you look at all the ingredients it is vitamin fortified. It was meant to help people who were suffering and sick. She lived to be 99yrs old, just shy of 100yrs and was a Chemist, Scientist and inventor. She dealt with natural flavor extractions.
The saddest things in regards to dolphins is they are some of the smartest animals on the planet, second to humans. So the dolphin committing suicide? It knew and was just...done.
Victor Fleming died on January 6, 1949 - The Story of the Trapp Family Singers, the book upon The Sound of Music is based, was published later in 1949. The musical, The Sound of Music, was written in 1959. I think you meant to say Victor Fleming was know for directing both The Wizard of Oz and Gone with the Wind in 1939. Fleming left his directorial duties for ...Oz after filming the technicolor sequences to direct ...Wind. King Vidor was the director for the black and white Kansas sequences.
Thank you for pointing that out. The Sound of Music (1965) was directed by Robert Wise. If Victor Fleming had the ability to direct a movie 15 years after he died, I'd want to know his secret.
Winnie the Pooh is my all time favorite soooo... That being said Pooh was not an overeater he only ate honey Piglet is a baby pig so yes he is a little nervous Tigger isn't even in the original story he came much later and even though he is a tiger he too is afraid in the hundred acres forest. Don't mess with my Pooh bear! Besides Eeyore is my most favorite character in the story...🤩
And Rabbit's a male. Having only seen the animations, not read the books yet, I thought it was the opposite. That's probably where the rumors of Christopher Robin being gay also came.
Although the U.S. officaly joined World War II in 1941 there were supporting China in their fight against Japan and the British Empire against zee Nazis.
I'm so glad they brought Mike back. I do miss the dialog with Tristan (he was sooooo cute!) but I'm just happy they didn't keep those temporary replacements.
At one company I worked for we had the "Techietubies" which were stinky winky, dip$hit, lard-arse, and ho. Their mascot was a rubber chicken that they called "choke".
You omitted the fact that MGM also forced Judy Garland to have an abortion in 1941. What makes this even worse was the fact that her own mother was in on MGM's side of the argument. Moreover, if the mother had had an abortion when she considered it, we wouldn't have had Judy Garland to begin with.
The creator of the hit show Family Guy was supposed to be on the plane that hit the north tower on 9/11 he was recovering from a hangover and missed the flight.
At 16:29 ...They also got Judy to start smoking..in order to curb her desire for food...She smoked 80 cigarettes a day, plus coffee and amphetamines...
Oh yeah, I just adore having ADHD. I’m rarely on time, no matter how hard I try; I’m easily distracted; organization doesn’t come easily. I could go on and on about what a party it is having ADHD, but I doubt anyone gives a 💩. Tigger’s cute. ADHD sucks.
I like watching your videos, but in this one you got a few things wrong. First, in 1939 Victor Fleming directed the Wizard of Oz and Gone With the Wind. The Sound of Music came out in 1965 and was directed by Robert Wise. Also, the U.S.A. was not at war with Germany in 1939. The U.S. did not enter World War II until 1941, after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
My childhood was ruined when my mom took me to go see Barney when I was six years old You know what I seen Barney with his head off smoking a cigarette on break Never was the same again 😂😂
11:52 -What about the actor playing Ferris(Broderick)?I believe he was charged with vehicular manslaughter. But, of course, it took place in Europe and quickly swepped under the rug!
The modern depiction of Santa Claus, the jolly ol' man, with the big belly and red suit trimmed in white fur, was actually created by Coca Cola. Dr. Suess also drew a lot of pornography.
-Victor Fleming directed Gone With The Wind. He did NOT direct The Sound of Music. That was directed by Robert Wise…2 and a half decades later. -16:18 July Garland? PS: cute shirt, Mike!
You are not turning us away from Dr Seuss no matters how hard you try!🤣 Those books were written MANY years ago and his books and graffics were no different than any other of that era.
The dude blatantly cheated on his wife, who had cancer at the time. She subtracted herself from life because of him. He wasn't just a product of the times; no matter how you slice that, he was a bad person.
I have another fact about Ferris Bueller's Day Off. At the point in the movie, when Farris bueller and Company are in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, they actually crashed the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade irl. The actors and crew were accidentally waved into the parade without gaining permission to do so, and it turned out to save them a bit of money and gave them their scene and gimmick for the movie. I QUESTION what school they went to on that day that they had to go to school on Thanksgiving day FOR THAT PARADE TO MAKE since.
@@jrnfw4060 if you watch the movie they're in the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade, Ferris Bueller and his friends become part of the parade in the movie, that was not staged or set up they actually crashed the parade and joined it. I'm referring to the actors as in real life
That wasn't the Macy's parade. That parade is in NY. Ferris Bueller and his friends live in Chicago. Plus, it would have been a lot colder if the movie took place in November
@nancyomalley6286 My bad, a parade was still crashed, and the fact still remains mostly true. and I gave the fact Checkers something to do. Win, win. Because interaction is the name of the game.
Add THIS to the "Fun Facts" list - During the parade, there's a window washer shown on the scaffolding. He was REALLY a random guy just washing and dancing to the music, when the camera caught him.
Well, not twice as fast... but faster, agreed. However, it's only the cartoon that stipulated that the cartoon bird had to stay on the roads. Real road runners can fly. I watch them regularly, in my back yard in Arizona! I put in a multi level water fountain specifically for the birds so they always have fresh water; plus, with a 360 view, they can avoid any cats or coyotes from catching them! Road runners can commonly be found running along at 25mph. I don't know what their top speed is, but I do remember that a coyote is faster (on foot, anyway). You can see them running alongside of cars and motorcycles,s on other videos right here on youtube.
@@d.e.b.b5788 that's what I was going to say ✓ seeing them run then fly over a fence just enough to get over it then run some more after . Why all the running? Maybe it's easier to catch grass hoppers ?
At 7:18 ...Not trying to defend, but caricatures of every race and lifestyle were parodied...From Yosemite Sam to Amos and Andy...while these depictions are seen bad today, at the time, all people, regardless of race, thought it was funny...much like caricature artists are today...they make a silly version of you, and you find it funny...It does not mean they were racists...
~~The likeness used for Santa, however, was from a parody they used for fat oil Barons. ~~Judy Garland was 16 when they started Oz&had already blossomed more than they liked. Her breast/chest were wrapped for the entire production&to insure she kept her weight down they had her on diet too. Same everyday too; Chicken soup, coffee&80 cigarettes. Can't imagine what is was like by end of first week? Especially, considering the stimulants alone would've likely done it w/o the diet?
Another interpretation of the story, Little Red Riding Hood, is that it was a warning against sexual predators. Wolf is a euphemism for a man being inappropriate.
Well, in the original, red DOES take off her clothes and get into bed with "grandma" at her request before she is "eaten" (the whole "hunter saves her" bit was tacked on much later.)
1:06 It's stupid that is a statute of limitations on that stuff even today in some states. 1:53 The original versions of almost all the well known fairy tales were far darker than the more modern stories. One of the worst imho was sleeping beauty. I'll just say she is not awoken by a kiss but by one of the twins that were conceived and birthed while she was sleeping. 6:52 Theodore Geisel (Dr. Seuss) was a horrible person. But i base that on the fact that he cheated on his fist wife, who was chronically and possibly terminally ill, with her best friend who he then married after the first wife committed sʊicide due to depression which was at least partially caused by his having an affair when she needed him most. On top of that, when they got married, his second wife sent her kids away because they didn't want them. 12:44 Judith Barsi also voiced Anne-Marie in "All Dog Go To Heaven" and she never should have died since the authorities had been contacted about her father's violent behavior multiple times before that. Which for some reason still seems to happen in cases like that. And yes, i am a blast at parties. 😆
Sort of, sort of not. The DISNEY version is banned, but it is possible to find other versions with other illustrations. I used to have a multi-story book that had it, as well as a glass Christmas tree ornament of the character that was made in China.
@@SojoboscribeTrue however most things are made in China and just aren’t sold to their citizens. They’d probably get in huge trouble if they tried to illegally buy it.
@@kaitlinschwarz3644 Well, the book was in Chinese, and was bought from and printed in China, so if it wasn't for local consumption, it was probably for Taiwan.
@@Sojoboscribe I had no idea that the story was originally printed in Chinese although I can tell you that the true story doesn’t take place there it takes place in London England who has a publishing company and the fictional stories that wee written where written a little while later to remember the bear after he died is what the Disney stories would be based on. So I don’t understand how what you’re saying is possible unless it’s China’s version.
@kaitlinschwarz3644 I didn't say the story was originally Chinese, I said that THAT specific version of THE BOOK was printed in China and contains the story. I was just pointing out the stories are KNOWN in China and that books containing them EXIST there. So if everything relating to them is banned in China, it's a little odd that the Chinese government would allow a book containing those stories to be printed in China in the first place. For all I know, they got the story from the Soviet Union (they did their own animated version of Winnie the Pooh, same way they did for a lot of other Children's works (and adapted books like The Wizard of Oz, Pinocchio and Doctor Doolittle into ones they claimed were original to Soviet authors.)
#15 made me think of another Disney fact that may ruin your childhood Hannah Montana the Disney Channel show that introduced the world to Miley Cyrus was originally going to be called Alexis Texas but the name was changed when it was discovered that there was an adult film actress who went by that name
OK, I know others have already commented about this, but The Sound Of Music didn't come around until 1965, directed by Robert Wise. (Someone said Richard Donner..... huh?) An earlier film adaptation of the same memoir was released in West Germany in 1956... still nowhere close to 1939. I don't mean to be rude, but where are the fact checkers before these videos are made?
Most definitely-I fell in love with Julie Andrews when I seven years old after seeing _The Sound of Music._ She was so beautiful and she sang like no one I had ever heard.
Just like I've heard about Winnie the Pooh being about different mental disorders, I've also heard about Alice in Wonderland is about different kinds of drugs
One fact that ruined my childhood was that in the Adventures of Milo and Otis, they actually threw over 30 live cats over a cliff. Most of them died. That's what led to the Humane Society monitoring films that work with animals.
#13, for us older people I used to work at Kodak. One of the components used to put the black & white or color on the paper for pictures is gel. The main ingredient for our gel was cow hooves, we got the good stuff, the rest went to jello & other gel products. Some of us got to take a tour of the plant & the manager had pictures of cows on his walls 🤢!
Granted that Theodore Seuss Geisel made a lot of what we would now consider racist comics about the Japanese, but you have to remember that he did this during WWII when Japan was our enemy and everyone was making anti-Japanese propaganda. During that time he was a political cartoonist for a while and yes, he created a lot of anti-Japanese comics. But consider that along with the political cartoons of more recent years depicting everyone from Bin Laden to the Unabomber as outrageous caricatures. It's what political cartoonists do. That being said, Geisel went from there to creating training cartoons for the US Army featuring a character named Snafu (and we all know what that is an acronym for). From what I've seen of them, some of them were pretty racy and used a lot of foul language. But you have to remember that these were made for use by the Army only and were actually classified at the time because they depicted some top-secret stuff. They have since been declassified and can be found on the internet these days. Not sure where.
I never heard of heroin being referred to as GAK... I live near Pittsburgh and between 2000 and like 2015 I was very close to heroin and all that goes with it.
That Dr. Seuss tidbit seemed a little too easy, especially when compared to the even darker fact that he had cheated on his terminally ill wife with her friend, and the affair led to Seuss's wife committing suicide and Seuss remarried his mistress. That's pretty fucked up, no matter what time period you analyze it.
I loved Ronald Dahl's books as a kid, my older brother and I had an autographed copy of The Twits and Matilda. I'm sad to hear he had anti semetic views 😢.
With the oversimplified drawing style of Seuss' books, exaggerating an asian's epicanthic folds was just about the only way to make them look like they're not european. And Dr. Seuss was incredibly anti Racism...or have you never read "The Sneetches?"
The Santa story: Odin had many many names and im going to say 'personas', yes he is very fierce a warrior and God of death. He was also a 'Wonderer'(i know spelt wrong, sorry), where he came to people as stranger to see if/how much hospitality was offered. He also had a persona , much like St Nicolas, where gifts were given...much like Santa Clause. I cant remember the lore regarding more for this. Thor, another Norse God, Odins son....did this also. So that part is actually tru.
Another thing to ruin ur childhood? Tommy Oliver "power ranger" actor killed himself back in 2022. RIP JDF. He died on my birthday date too. He was actually my favorite childhood hero!
For clarification, what Dahl said was anti-jewish, but that's not exactly what he said. He said "there is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity." and "Even a stinker like Hitler didn't just pick on them for no reason."
My little girl LOVED Elmo so much that, I thought it'd be brilliant to bring her to meet Kevin Clash. So... it's 'good' that I had to have a 2nd operation for Endometriosis the very month I'd planned the 'meet and greet' for.
Fleming directed Wizard of Oz and Gone with the Wind. Sounds of Music was directed Robert Wise. Richard Donner directed Superman and the Lethal Weapon series.
Dr Seuss books are only racist now they weren’t considered racist in the time they were written. You have to take things in their historical context and the time in which they were written
I remember watching the Challenger Space Shuttle exploding my mom kept me home from school that day so I could watch the first teacher go into outer space. It was so horrible.
I too have a story regarding the challenger incident and a teacher. One of the teachers that I wrote with was Mr. Purkowski and no I do not know his first name. Unfortunately, at this time, don't even know if he is still around. If so, he needs to be remembered. Anyways, really great teacher. Taught me a lot as well as got me going into some extracurricular stuff as well of my own activities. Further learning that our school did not provide even. He was one of the teachers considered for the challenger flight.We are very much glad that he was not selected. I'm pretty sure i'm not the only one that had had the situation like this where a teacher well beloved could have been lost. I do try to avoid breaking things like this up.However, I think it's appropriate since I'm one that would have lost a teacher if it would have.Happened I often to be our teacher selected
All the true fairy tales are really dark.The stepsisters actually have there eyes poked out by crows and cut off part of their feet to fit into the glass slipper.
If I remember correctly in the original version of Sleeping Beauty, she is visited twice by the prince. The first time she is sexually assaulted in her sleep and has a set of twins from the assault but doesn't wake up until later.
Woody is the antagonist of the movie alongside Sid. He repeatedly tries to kill Buzz at worst and at best attempts to have him abandoned. Was I watching a different movie? Haha, Woody was great but he WAS a jerk, honestly.
I was bored with reading Dr. Seuss and Sally, Dick and Jane before kindergarten - I saved myself a lot of brain cells by being prodigious at reading 😂😂😂
I remember back in the mid-90s when the tickle my guts Elmo first came out and people were hurting each other in the stores to get one and news stories of people paying upwards of $1200!
You didn't mention that poor Bobby Driscoll's addiction problems stemmed from him being passed around as a party favor by the Disney executives and even, possibly, good old Walt himself. Contemporaries of his at the time described the relationship as unsettling and inappropriate and that there needed to be an investigation. When Bobby hit puberty, one day Walt had his secretary fire him. This started the downward spiral. He is still buried in a potter's field.

In 1939 Victor Fleming directed Wizard of Oz and Gone With the Wind. Sound of Music was made in 1964 or 1965 by Richard Donner.
Thanks! That is a big mistake.
Sound of Music was directed by Robert Wise

Winnie the Pooh is my all time favorite soooo... That being said Pooh was not an overeater he only ate honey
Piglet is a baby pig so yes he is a little nervous
Tigger isn't even in the original story he came much later and even though he is a tiger he too is afraid in the hundred acres forest.
Don't mess with my Pooh bear!
Besides Eeyore is my most favorite character in the story...🤩
Believe this or not, but -
According to the creator, Winnie the Pooh is a FEMALE 🐻 !
And Rabbit's a male. Having only seen the animations, not read the books yet, I thought it was the opposite. That's probably where the rumors of Christopher Robin being gay also came.
So, Julie Andrews was 30 when The Sound of Music was released. That makes her 115 years old today. She looks great for her age!!!😂
Judith Barsi was also in All Dogs Go To Heaven & the song that is played over the credits called Love Survives is dedicated to her memory.
Her story is heartbreaking. Definitely makes watching the movie a little more bittersweet.
@maddypearce1622 it does
At 17:26 ...I thought of this when I was young...but I thought Rabbit was anxiety, Tigger was hyperactivity, and Piglet was insecurity...
I agree they all seemed to be facets of Christopher Robin.🙏💕

You omitted the fact that MGM also forced Judy Garland to have an abortion in 1941. What makes this even worse was the fact that her own mother was in on MGM's side of the argument. Moreover, if the mother had had an abortion when she considered it, we wouldn't have had Judy Garland to begin with.
The Sound of Music was not made in 1939.
He meant Gone With the Wind
The creator of the hit show Family Guy was supposed to be on the plane that hit the north tower on 9/11 he was recovering from a hangover and missed the flight.
At 16:29 ...They also got Judy to start smoking..in order to curb her desire for food...She smoked 80 cigarettes a day, plus coffee and amphetamines...
Thanks Mike that's my childhood gone down the drain
#2 had me in stitches. My daughter loved Pooh!! And the different characters are hilarious!!!
Great video!! Thank you Mike!!❤❤❤
Oh yeah, I just adore having ADHD. I’m rarely on time, no matter how hard I try; I’m easily distracted; organization doesn’t come easily. I could go on and on about what a party it is having ADHD, but I doubt anyone gives a 💩. Tigger’s cute. ADHD sucks.
@@megnotes7908 I won’t tell you which one I am. Too hurtful also. But as characters. Cute.
I like watching your videos, but in this one you got a few things wrong. First, in 1939 Victor Fleming directed the Wizard of Oz and Gone With the Wind. The Sound of Music came out in 1965 and was directed by Robert Wise. Also, the U.S.A. was not at war with Germany in 1939. The U.S. did not enter World War II until 1941, after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
My childhood was ruined when my mom took me to go see Barney when I was six years old
You know what I seen
Barney with his head off smoking a cigarette on break
Never was the same again 😂😂
11:52 -What about the actor playing Ferris(Broderick)?I believe he was charged with vehicular manslaughter.
But, of course, it took place in Europe and quickly swepped under the rug!
No he went to jail.
The modern depiction of Santa Claus, the jolly ol' man, with the big belly and red suit trimmed in white fur, was actually created by Coca Cola.
Dr. Suess also drew a lot of pornography.
I think Victor Fleming worked on Gone With the Wind too.
You are correct! I had forgotten that, but your comment caused me to recall having read that decades ago.
The funny thing is up here in Canada in the '90s. Gak was the street name for meth
😢 my fellow classmates and I watched [with countless others] the shuttle explode... to think my childhood idol could've been on there 😢😢😢😢
Great Elmo impression, Mike! 😁
Thanks! 😁
@@list25 No problem! 😁
Watching Challenger explode live on television scarred an entire generation - Big Bird or no.
That, Plus I was 4 when Mount St. Helen blew its top before the CHALLENGER disaster!
-Victor Fleming directed Gone With The Wind. He did NOT direct The Sound of Music. That was directed by Robert Wise…2 and a half decades later.
-16:18 July Garland?
PS: cute shirt, Mike!
Yeah, I was a bit confused about that one
You are not turning us away from Dr Seuss no matters how hard you try!🤣 Those books were written MANY years ago and his books and graffics were no different than any other of that era.
The dude blatantly cheated on his wife, who had cancer at the time. She subtracted herself from life because of him. He wasn't just a product of the times; no matter how you slice that, he was a bad person.
I’m convinced childhood is the greatest deception of all time
Nope!
Religion is.....

I’m with you!
We are taught from birth to accept lies.

I have another fact about Ferris Bueller's Day Off. At the point in the movie, when Farris bueller and Company are in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, they actually crashed the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade irl. The actors and crew were accidentally waved into the parade without gaining permission to do so, and it turned out to save them a bit of money and gave them their scene and gimmick for the movie. I QUESTION what school they went to on that day that they had to go to school on Thanksgiving day FOR THAT PARADE TO MAKE since.
Put WHAT in the parade without authorization? Your post makes no sense.
@@jrnfw4060 if you watch the movie they're in the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade, Ferris Bueller and his friends become part of the parade in the movie, that was not staged or set up they actually crashed the parade and joined it. I'm referring to the actors as in real life
That wasn't the Macy's parade. That parade is in NY. Ferris Bueller and his friends live in Chicago. Plus, it would have been a lot colder if the movie took place in November
@nancyomalley6286 My bad, a parade was still crashed, and the fact still remains mostly true. and I gave the fact Checkers something to do. Win, win. Because interaction is the name of the game.
Add THIS to the "Fun Facts" list -
During the parade, there's a window washer shown on the scaffolding. He was REALLY a random guy just washing and dancing to the music, when the camera caught him.
I didn't know the voice of Lilo also voiced Chihiro in Sprited Away. Both those movies were big on my childhood. Absolutely love them!
This might be the best list 25 ever!
Coyotes run twice as fast as roadrunners.
Well, not twice as fast... but faster, agreed. However, it's only the cartoon that stipulated that the cartoon bird had to stay on the roads. Real road runners can fly. I watch them regularly, in my back yard in Arizona! I put in a multi level water fountain specifically for the birds so they always have fresh water; plus, with a 360 view, they can avoid any cats or coyotes from catching them! Road runners can commonly be found running along at 25mph. I don't know what their top speed is, but I do remember that a coyote is faster (on foot, anyway). You can see them running alongside of cars and motorcycles,s on other videos right here on youtube.
@@d.e.b.b5788 that's what I was going to say ✓ seeing them run then fly over a fence just enough to get over it then run some more after . Why all the running? Maybe it's easier to catch grass hoppers ?
But a coyote would still never catch a roadrunner
Roald Dahl was also an epic spy, friends with Ian Fleming
Thank you for all the awesome content Mike and List25 crew
Our pleasure!
I still have some of my mood rings, I love them.❤
I've never heard Santa Claus referred to as a giant. Only an elf or an elderly man.
Apparently you've never seen Futurama..
@@blairmcmackin8857 Nope
@@DaddyOfTheSugarVariety check it out. Especially the XMAS episodes
I always heard that Krampus "took care" of the Naughty List 😂 and Santa Claus had just the Good girls and boys to deliver gifts to!
At 7:18 ...Not trying to defend, but caricatures of every race and lifestyle were parodied...From Yosemite Sam to Amos and Andy...while these depictions are seen bad today, at the time, all people, regardless of race, thought it was funny...much like caricature artists are today...they make a silly version of you, and you find it funny...It does not mean they were racists...
That isn’t the woke reality. It is reality. Just not the woke one.
I agree. The china man is not racist.
~~The likeness used for Santa, however, was from a parody they used for fat oil Barons.
~~Judy Garland was 16 when they started Oz&had already blossomed more than they liked. Her breast/chest were wrapped for the entire production&to insure she kept her weight down they had her on diet too. Same everyday too; Chicken soup, coffee&80 cigarettes. Can't imagine what is was like by end of first week? Especially, considering the stimulants alone would've likely done it w/o the diet?
Another interpretation of the story, Little Red Riding Hood, is that it was a warning against sexual predators. Wolf is a euphemism for a man being inappropriate.
Well, in the original, red DOES take off her clothes and get into bed with "grandma" at her request before she is "eaten" (the whole "hunter saves her" bit was tacked on much later.)
I don't think Dr Seuss' drawings were racist
1:06
It's stupid that is a statute of limitations on that stuff even today in some states.
1:53
The original versions of almost all the well known fairy tales were far darker than the more modern stories. One of the worst imho was sleeping beauty. I'll just say she is not awoken by a kiss but by one of the twins that were conceived and birthed while she was sleeping.
6:52
Theodore Geisel (Dr. Seuss) was a horrible person. But i base that on the fact that he cheated on his fist wife, who was chronically and possibly terminally ill, with her best friend who he then married after the first wife committed sʊicide due to depression which was at least partially caused by his having an affair when she needed him most. On top of that, when they got married, his second wife sent her kids away because they didn't want them.
12:44
Judith Barsi also voiced Anne-Marie in "All Dog Go To Heaven" and she never should have died since the authorities had been contacted about her father's violent behavior multiple times before that. Which for some reason still seems to happen in cases like that.
And yes, i am a blast at parties. 😆
I've always loved Winnie the Pooh!! The entire character was banned in China because he looks like the PM 😂
Sort of, sort of not. The DISNEY version is banned, but it is possible to find other versions with other illustrations. I used to have a multi-story book that had it, as well as a glass Christmas tree ornament of the character that was made in China.
@@SojoboscribeTrue however most things are made in China and just aren’t sold to their citizens. They’d probably get in huge trouble if they tried to illegally buy it.
@@kaitlinschwarz3644 Well, the book was in Chinese, and was bought from and printed in China, so if it wasn't for local consumption, it was probably for Taiwan.
@@Sojoboscribe I had no idea that the story was originally printed in Chinese although I can tell you that the true story doesn’t take place there it takes place in London England who has a publishing company and the fictional stories that wee written where written a little while later to remember the bear after he died is what the Disney stories would be based on. So I don’t understand how what you’re saying is possible unless it’s China’s version.
@kaitlinschwarz3644 I didn't say the story was originally Chinese, I said that THAT specific version of THE BOOK was printed in China and contains the story. I was just pointing out the stories are KNOWN in China and that books containing them EXIST there. So if everything relating to them is banned in China, it's a little odd that the Chinese government would allow a book containing those stories to be printed in China in the first place.
For all I know, they got the story from the Soviet Union (they did their own animated version of Winnie the Pooh, same way they did for a lot of other Children's works (and adapted books like The Wizard of Oz, Pinocchio and Doctor Doolittle into ones they claimed were original to Soviet authors.)
#15 made me think of another Disney fact that may ruin your childhood Hannah Montana the Disney Channel show that introduced the world to Miley Cyrus was originally going to be called Alexis Texas but the name was changed when it was discovered that there was an adult film actress who went by that name
OK, I know others have already commented about this, but The Sound Of Music didn't come around until 1965, directed by Robert Wise. (Someone said Richard Donner..... huh?)
An earlier film adaptation of the same memoir was released in West Germany in 1956... still nowhere close to 1939. I don't mean to be rude, but where are the fact checkers before these videos are made?
Um, The Sound of Music was made in the 60's I think!😮. 🤓😎✌🏼
Most definitely-I fell in love with Julie Andrews when I seven years old after seeing _The Sound of Music._ She was so beautiful and she sang like no one I had ever heard.
Most of these children stories are based on myths and old legends from the past 😮. Enjoy your weekend.
At 1:16 ...Elmo loves you!!! But it's our secret!!!
Just like I've heard about Winnie the Pooh being about different mental disorders, I've also heard about Alice in Wonderland is about different kinds of drugs
Alice in Wonderland wasn't written for children. It was a book written for adults when opium dens were around.
One fact that ruined my childhood was that in the Adventures of Milo and Otis, they actually threw over 30 live cats over a cliff. Most of them died. That's what led to the Humane Society monitoring films that work with animals.
Was anyone arrested?
@@jrnfw4060 I don't think so.
That's good one nice thing came through it.
That's a myth.
#13, for us older people I used to work at Kodak. One of the components used to put the black & white or color on the paper for pictures is gel. The main ingredient for our gel was cow hooves, we got the good stuff, the rest went to jello & other gel products. Some of us got to take a tour of the plant & the manager had pictures of cows on his walls 🤢!
I remember when I used to do meth and there’d be a term “to be gacked “ so it was also a reference to being high on meth to
Granted that Theodore Seuss Geisel made a lot of what we would now consider racist comics about the Japanese, but you have to remember that he did this during WWII when Japan was our enemy and everyone was making anti-Japanese propaganda. During that time he was a political cartoonist for a while and yes, he created a lot of anti-Japanese comics. But consider that along with the political cartoons of more recent years depicting everyone from Bin Laden to the Unabomber as outrageous caricatures. It's what political cartoonists do. That being said, Geisel went from there to creating training cartoons for the US Army featuring a character named Snafu (and we all know what that is an acronym for). From what I've seen of them, some of them were pretty racy and used a lot of foul language. But you have to remember that these were made for use by the Army only and were actually classified at the time because they depicted some top-secret stuff. They have since been declassified and can be found on the internet these days. Not sure where.
That was fun. Sadly, I remember the moon landing back in 1969 overshadowed Judy Garlands death that day.
She was so pretty. I had the biggest girl crush on her when I was a kid.
I never heard of heroin being referred to as GAK... I live near Pittsburgh and between 2000 and like 2015 I was very close to heroin and all that goes with it.
I believe gak is meth.

A 12:52 ...I know of this terrible tale...her gravestone even has the inscription "Yep! Yep! Yep!" I am sad now...
Wonderful video thanks List 25 and Mike ❤️👍🔥
That Dr. Seuss tidbit seemed a little too easy, especially when compared to the even darker fact that he had cheated on his terminally ill wife with her friend, and the affair led to Seuss's wife committing suicide and Seuss remarried his mistress. That's pretty fucked up, no matter what time period you analyze it.
I loved Ronald Dahl's books as a kid, my older brother and I had an autographed copy of The Twits and Matilda. I'm sad to hear he had anti semetic views 😢.
With the oversimplified drawing style of Seuss' books, exaggerating an asian's epicanthic folds was just about the only way to make them look like they're not european. And Dr. Seuss was incredibly anti Racism...or have you never read "The Sneetches?"
Interesting video as always, Mike!
Thanks again!
@@list25 No problem!
I mean... I had a feeling the principal was a creep but to learn this just gives me the jeebies!
Owl was the therapist on Winnie the Pooh!!
11:19 This is literally the reason he was written out of Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.
The Santa story: Odin had many many names and im going to say 'personas', yes he is very fierce a warrior and God of death. He was also a 'Wonderer'(i know spelt wrong, sorry), where he came to people as stranger to see if/how much hospitality was offered.
He also had a persona , much like St Nicolas, where gifts were given...much like Santa Clause. I cant remember the lore regarding more for this. Thor, another Norse God, Odins son....did this also.
So that part is actually tru.
Love your Mickey the Mummy T-shirt.

Another thing to ruin ur childhood? Tommy Oliver "power ranger" actor killed himself back in 2022. RIP JDF. He died on my birthday date too. He was actually my favorite childhood hero!
For clarification, what Dahl said was anti-jewish, but that's not exactly what he said.
He said "there is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity." and "Even a stinker like Hitler didn't just pick on them for no reason."
My little girl LOVED Elmo so much that, I thought it'd be brilliant to bring her to meet Kevin Clash. So... it's 'good' that I had to have a 2nd operation for Endometriosis the very month I'd planned the 'meet and greet' for.
Your little girl was probably safe it would be your son he would have taken interest in.
Fleming directed Wizard of Oz and Gone with the Wind. Sounds of Music was directed Robert Wise. Richard Donner directed Superman and the Lethal Weapon series.
Dr Seuss books are only racist now they weren’t considered racist in the time they were written. You have to take things in their historical context and the time in which they were written
Can you imagine another 50 - 100 years from now and being held to standards that don’t exist yet?
I remember watching the Challenger Space Shuttle exploding my mom kept me home from school that day so I could watch the first teacher go into outer space. It was so horrible.
anyone who might be traumatized by big birds demise probably didnt have much chance of going though life normal anyway
Gak was named after speed ( meth ). It was common slang for it in the 90s .
I too have a story regarding the challenger incident and a teacher.
One of the teachers that I wrote with was Mr. Purkowski and no I do not know his first name. Unfortunately, at this time, don't even know if he is still around. If so, he needs to be remembered. Anyways, really great teacher. Taught me a lot as well as got me going into some extracurricular stuff as well of my own activities. Further learning that our school did not provide even.
He was one of the teachers considered for the challenger flight.We are very much glad that he was not selected.
I'm pretty sure i'm not the only one that had had the situation like this where a teacher well beloved could have been lost.
I do try to avoid breaking things like this up.However, I think it's appropriate since I'm one that would have lost a teacher if it would have.Happened I often to be our teacher selected
Buzz and woody,is also the names of Andy’s moms toys😳😈👺
I fail to see how Santa could be based on Norse Mythology ruin childhood memories.
All the true fairy tales are really dark.The stepsisters actually have there eyes poked out by crows and cut off part of their feet to fit into the glass slipper.
If I remember correctly in the original version of Sleeping Beauty, she is visited twice by the prince. The first time she is sexually assaulted in her sleep and has a set of twins from the assault but doesn't wake up until later.
Mike! I did not know you were a member of the tribe! Of course, you’re such a nice boy, i should have guessed. Plus that Shayna Punim!! ❤❤
Woody is the antagonist of the movie alongside Sid. He repeatedly tries to kill Buzz at worst and at best attempts to have him abandoned. Was I watching a different movie? Haha, Woody was great but he WAS a jerk, honestly.
I don’t see slanted eyes as racist
Mind blowing things lol. Can't wait to hear more.
I was bored with reading Dr. Seuss and Sally, Dick and Jane before kindergarten - I saved myself a lot of brain cells by being prodigious at reading 😂😂😂
I remember back in the mid-90s when the tickle my guts Elmo first came out and people were hurting each other in the stores to get one and news stories of people paying upwards of $1200!
You didn't mention that poor Bobby Driscoll's addiction problems stemmed from him being passed around as a party favor by the Disney executives and even, possibly, good old Walt himself. Contemporaries of his at the time described the relationship as unsettling and inappropriate and that there needed to be an investigation. When Bobby hit puberty, one day Walt had his secretary fire him. This started the downward spiral. He is still buried in a potter's field.
