Younger son- Wizard of Oz fiend, #RankinBass fiend, watching his DVD of The Daydreamer and reciting the end credits to me as I wrap up the house for bedtime- "Margaret Hamilton."
Me- "Margaret Hamilton was The Wicked Witch of The West."
Younger son- "Wicked- wait what???!!!"
I love doing this shit.
@Shelter I just revisited a couple favorite Danny Kaye clips in preparation to torturing my g'kids ... I mean, I really think they would enjoy some of his movies 🙃
@wolfwoman
They absolutely would
@Shelter Just trying to decide what to start with ... 🥰
How old are they?
@Shelter 11 & just about a week away from 14. If I start with the right clip I can hook 'em ...
@wolfwoman
I'd still go with The Court Jester.
@Shelter I was thinking that too! Maybe show them this first ...https://youtu.be/WzmnSyqv37A
@Shelter Lately, I've had to serialize such things & that seems to work well. But the older they get, the more impatient they are about giving old stuff a chance
@wolfwoman
Always go with color first and then B&W.
White Christmas would probably bore them to tears, though.
Because for young kids I'd go with The Court Jester.
Also my younger son saw an old pic of Nic Cage and thought it was Danny Kaye and my friends were like- "Danny Kaye?"
"Yes, he's obsessed with Danny Kaye. Is there a problem?"
"Noooo, not at all."
