    Hey there Matt & Craig! I was the one that sent this DVD to you several years ago. SO COOL to see it on the show, it’s one of my favorite films/stories! 🍂☺️ 🎃

      Absolutely! And it's so re-watchable. I remember having this read to me in the 5th grade and saw the movie not long after, and the idea of being trapped in a painting has stuck with me, even 32 years later.

    Don't want to be one of those 80's kids who are enmeshed in nostalgia, but... you're dead on about how kids movies used to be "dark" back then... or at least had lots of things that would be inconceivable to out into a kids movie today. Just like with the original Grimm's fairy tales, I think kids were better off when they were exposed to some scary and/or difficult things in their entertainment. Studio Ghibli possibly the only purveyor of children's entertainment that still "gets" that concept.

    I remember suggesting this movie for Seen It back in one of the first couple seasons. Ended up watching it for the first time myself while waiting for it to appear on the show. And I have to agree more with Matt...as much as I love love love the book, it's clear that the conflict between the director and studio negatively affected the movie.

    Great ep as always guys. Love Giancarlo Esposito! He's a great actor. Great pronunciation Matt. Esposito is a very common surname in Naples, so I wasn't surprised that his dad was from Naples. I don't share the same surname, but my family is from Naples, and my brothers and I swear that Giancarlo Esposito kinda looks like my Dad and Grandad. We are all sure we have a common ancestor, haha.

    I was just thinking the same thing with the new Dune movie coming out. I've always thought that Baron Harkonnen's name was pronounced "HAR-CONE-EN", but while listening to Frank Herbert read an excerpt from his first book I heard him pronounce it "HAR-KUN-NUN". As Craig said, it's one of those things where if you say it right, it sounds like you're saying it wrong. To me, "HAR-CONE-EN" just sounds way better. Anyways... Thoughts on Dune?

    I'm a big fan of the original book, and I agree with most of your thoughts on the film version. Ray Bradbury had such a unique and creepy way of describing things that I don't think the movie could ever live up to my expectations, but it was a pretty good effort.

    There’s a scene that they didn’t show right after Mr. Dark catches the boy. The midget is just randomly holding one of the boy’s hands while they walk down the street. He’s there for one clip and then gone again. Our whole class cracked up at that because of the odd camera reveal they chose.
