    I don’t know how but somehow I managed to avoid this one as a kid. I rented tons of videos and this one was square in the middle of them, but something about it made me avoid it like the plague. And this was long before internet, nor did any of my peers see it and tell me about it. Knowing how frail my mind was at that age, that was undoubtedly a good thing.

        Lol it did, this brings back memories. I also seem to remember a still image of a roadkilled bunny(?) on the back which threw me off. But maybe that’s just Mandela effect.

      Same here, I have no clue how I avoided this one either. Maybe my parents guided me away every time I reached for it and I just don’t remember? I honestly don’t know.

            They might have been after something. Alien proceeded the Empire Strikes Back on our childhood copy

          Depends. Did they just put you in front of it when you were 4 or did they wait until you had reached a certain mental maturity and watched it with you?

            I think they had the same view as the British rating agency : animation removes all worries

        Considering my current tastes in media, i doubt it’d do much. Although I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, even the animated kind.
