    Does it hold up?

    Have you guys ever re-visited movies/tv shows/albums that you enjoyed when you were young?

    I recently watched "Animaniacs", and while it's on the higher end of animated kids fare, I did not find it anywhere near as amusing as 12-year-old BO did.
    The Disney "sing-a-long" tapes don't hold up, either. I loved Limp Bizkit and Staind in junior high, and now they're barely listenable.

    "Home Alone" stands the test of time (just the first one, though). So does the live-action "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and the first "Land Before Time". I think I enjoy "Sleeping Beauty" more now than I did as a youngster, and I really liked it then.

    Animaniacs was my favorite show when I was in 5th grade. Where did you find it?

      Oh, it's all over the place. I think I bought it off of amazon or best buy. you should be able to find the first two volumes for pretty cheap.

        Shoot, I didn't know they were on DVD. So you bought a season and it let you down? Hmm.

            I still LOVE Mary Poppins. And I still hope my daughter wants to watch Jetson's and Scooby Doo instead of Noggin sometimes.

                Shakiest Gun in the West is always funny, as are The Ghost and Mr. Chicken and The Reluctant Astronaut.

                Bugs Bunny cartoons stand the test of time too.

                    I would love go see an episode of Diff'rent Strokes. My guess is that it won't be as good as I thought it was at the time.
