I started thinking about my favorite children's movies, books, cartoons and all of that today and the more I thought about them the more I realized that 95% of it is fucked up and 5% isn't. Actually, the ratio of fucked up children's stuff is probably bigger than that. But seriously, just look at two of my favorites and make up your own mind.
1. The Muppets: I love the Muppets, to not love the Muppets is a sign of evil I think. But this is some fucked up shite, really it is. I mean... stop to watch the Muppets and just try to forget you love them and it's sort of creepy. The puppets are pretty freaky looking and then there's that whole interspecies romantic mixing involving frogs and pigs falling in love. What the hell would Kermit and Miss Piggy's kid look like? And what would you even call that animal? A frig? A pog? That's unnatural stuff right there.
2. She-Ra: This is a really dark series if you think about it. This little girl gets kidnapped as a baby by a fucking evil warlord, taken to another planet/dimension, raised as the warlord's kid, trained to be like this obey my dad/warlord's every command type of super soldier, is brainwashed by evil dad/warlord's girlfriend who is a sorceress when she starts to have her own thoughts and opinions on things, then when she breaks out from under his hold/spell is basically shat on by the people of that world because of what she did while brainwashed. Plus she has this initial creepy incestuous attraction to her twin brother when they first meet and don't know they're related.
See? Children's entertainment is fucked up stuff. Maybe my mom is right and I should try writing my own kids book or something. My ideas are weird enough to be successful apparently.
