Got some time to kill? Been through all Vi Hart's videos on YouTube? The next best thing there is almost assuredly Don't Eat the Pictures, a Sesame Street movie from 1983 full of dark myths and deep characters. I saw this on TV when I was 4. Years later, I remembered parts of it vividly, but nobody my age had any idea what I was talking about ( Read more... )

Too bad you never mentioned it to me. I could have confirmed the existence of this for you YEARS ago! My memory of that movie is one of those strangely vivid early media memories, somewhere close to the scene at the top of the cliffs in the Princess Bride and the scene where the guy ripped the heart out of that other guy in Temple of Doom.

Oh yeah, I remember that one clearly. I think it helps that I was probably a little older than four when I saw it.

And I always did think the answer should've been midnight.

I have been looking for this movie for a very long time!! I remember this movie coming on when I was about 4 or 5 yrs old. I was FASCINATED.. with this movie.. I remember every time there was a SPECIAL movie that came on my mother let us watch it.. But this movie I remember stayed on late, or seemed like it was late..I was memorized and wanted this lil kid to get to where he needed to be. When it was over I thought the stars was dead people and shit still do. after seeing this movie..lol ( ... )
