films

When I was a kid, I would draw pictures of the entire cast of a movie, except the bad guys.

My reason for not drawing the bad guys was because I thought that when I was not looking, the drawing would come to life, so if I drew the bad guys, they might start fighting the good guys.

When I was little, I used to watch movies with my dad at the cinema. And before go in there we always wached the trailers. I loved it ! But my dad laughed at me because I pronounced the word "trailer" badly. I said : "bande-anus" instead of "bande-annonce". I did understand why my parents were laughing!

I didn't know how old certain movies actually were. I was quite surprised to find out in 2000 that Fantasia dated all the way back to 1940, since the live action footage of the orchestra was in color, and I thought that color film hadn't been invented until the 1960s.

I just recently remembered that when I was little and saw Disney's Peter Pan, the "Indian Chief" was so cartoony and caricatured and had such a growly voice that I thought he was some kind of minotaur-like monster and his war bonnet was actually a crest of feathers and horns growing out of his head.

when i was little, i used to think Darth Vader (from star wars) was actually named Dark Hater... there was a girl who used to bully me around and she was black... so one day we were playing star wars and i suggested she should be 'dark hater' everyone looked at me weird...

When I was 5, I saw Tremors with my 8-year old cousins. I was sooo scared. For the next month or so, I kept running to where I need to go. Like, if I needed to go from the couch to my bedroom, I would run like lightning to my room and hop on my bed as fast as possible.

I thought the Stromtroopers in Star Wars were robots.

I used to believe that the killer in the 'Scream' movies was named "Scream-Killer"(he's actually named Ghostface) and was the polite serial killer because he used to call people before killing them.

Before I could read (around the age of 4) I thought that when a movie ended there was a roll inside of tv that displayed the same credits over and over - as they rolled up the screen they appeared at the bottom again.

At 8 my mom thought I would enjoy the movie the Excorcist?! For the next two years I believed the devil was going to possess me, so I used to put my dolls and stuffed animals in a cocoon around me to protect me. What was my mom thinking? (I still have never watched that movie to this day)

I used to believe Verne Troyer from Austin Powers (Mini Me) was a robot and I thought cousin skeeter on nickeleodean was real.

Shannon the comedian

I used to believe in super heroes exist in the world

When my ten year old daughter was about
two, she used to ask to watch the Dig Digs
all the time. I had no idea what she was
talking about until she recieved a Snow
White shirt for Christmas and said "look
mommy the dig digs" Later that day, we watched the movie and realized the Dwarves sing a
song about digging! Mystery solved.

When I was young (around 5 or so), I was convinced that the movie "Milo and Otis" was called "My Little Otis". I called it that for a few years until my parents decided to break it to me I was saying it wrong.

When my friend told me about the Halloween films I believed it was the true stry of the actor Mike Meyors becoming a serial Killer.

I spent my childhood Saturday afternoons watching a lot of old musicals on TV.

I used to believe that grownups got involved in song and dance routines as part of their day to day lives.

It used to bother me that I wouldn't know what to do if a bunch of singing and dancing strangers leapt up to me and tried to incorporate me into their number.

I consoled myself by supposing that as I got older the dance steps and the words would come to me naturally, like other grownup ways.

Vicky

I used to believe there actually exists real-life equivalent of Cruella DeVil from "101 dalmatians", only she's called Lustylla DeBet (debet means debit in Polish) and she is accountant, she drives old-fashioned car like the one from movie, only the front of it is divided in half by T account and it has "Fa VAT 146" on its plate ("Fa Vat" is invoice in Polish) and there are accouncy documents stuck behind the wipers!

As a kid I loved the Star Wars movies, and wholeheartedly believed that they would happen in the future. I used to sit in my mom's room staring at a plastic bag trying to use the "force" to pick it up.

After watching Titanic my small sister kept crying because she thought that the director killed those people in the ship just for the sake of making the movie..!!
After that i had to explain her how movies are actually made.

For years the movie Willie Wonka and the Chocolate factory terrified me. The thought of a little kid, no matter how mean and evil getting burned in a furnace or being squeezed after turning into a giant blueberry filled me with dread. To this day, I still sort of see it as a horror movie.
