i grew up with these

in my childhood we had a few video cassettes. i watched these cassettes repeatedly growing up. i just don't know what my life would be like if this set up were any different. what if i grew up with pocahontas? or the jungle book? or up?

- fantasia
life, nature, growth, magic, death, and most of all, hell.

- alice in wonderland
reality, shattered. i hated that.

- the lion king (i don't actually think we owned this)
death is loss is life.

- pinocchio
love. family.

- superman
heroism.

- the rescuers down under
mice in love, golden eagles, australian accents. and the united nations!

lastly, we had a broken cassette of crusader rabbit that always, always scared the fuck out of me. there are no words to describe it. what the fuck was a rabbit doing on a horse, in knight's armor with a lance? to kill people?
