Speaker 1: Christian Christian O'Connell's show podcast.
Speaker 2: There's always that movie that you first remember crying it. It
Speaker 2: stays with you forever, and sometimes you've been carrying on
Speaker 2: your day, you might hear the song on the radio,
Speaker 2: or someone on the radio will be talking about there,
Speaker 2: and you're like, oh my god, it takes you back
Speaker 2: there to that moment when you were five, six, seven, eight.
Speaker 2: It's that sort of time of your life and you
Speaker 2: first see this movie. When you look back now, some
Speaker 2: of the movies that our parents will just let us watch, right,
Speaker 2: they're actually quite dark at times and just relentlessly sad.
Speaker 2: So when I was eight, one of the first movies
Speaker 2: I ever went to see in a cinema was The
Speaker 2: Fox and the Hound. Do you remember this patch, Yes,
Speaker 2: it's a beautiful story, Disney do it better than anybody else,
Speaker 2: But what a dark old I mean. I haven't even
Speaker 2: ever played my kids this movie. I don't think they
Speaker 2: thank me for it anyway. It's about a young orphaned
Speaker 2: puppy fox okay called Todd and he becomes best friends
Speaker 2: with a dog called Copper. And the tagline for this
Speaker 2: movie is two friends that didn't know they were enemies.
Speaker 3: They start off playing with each other. They're best buddies,
Speaker 3: having so much fun.
Speaker 2: Remember having the best mate, even if you were a
Speaker 2: dog and he was a fox.
Speaker 4: You're the best of friends.
Speaker 3: Best of friends, Laser.
Speaker 2: Then as they grow up, suddenly that a dog has
Speaker 2: been trained by this horrible, old, angry farmer. You know
Speaker 2: you instantly hate people forever, Amos, you sucker, Amos.
Speaker 3: Why do you make him be such an aggressive attack dog?
Speaker 3: They were the best of friends.
Speaker 1: The fun together.
Speaker 2: The bit that really made me cry though, isn't what
Speaker 2: happens to them as they grow older and sadly grow apart.
Speaker 2: But then there's this beautiful coming together at the end.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you remember it, Patty, but it's
Speaker 2: the bit where when this fox is orphaned, right and owl,
Speaker 2: it's Disney. Let's just go with it, right, an old
Speaker 2: sort of nanny old come here. It takes this can't
Speaker 2: remember the name of the alb but this old granny
Speaker 2: how takes it to this widow called Roe. She's a
Speaker 2: granny widow or buy on but a bielone she then
Speaker 2: it sheer raised this little puppy, this puppy fox. And
Speaker 2: then suddenly, right, she's not saved for the little fox
Speaker 2: told to be there anymore. So she puts him in
Speaker 2: this old gelopy of a car. She tries him antler forest,
Speaker 2: I'm only eight years away, I think, I then going
Speaker 2: for that's your friend, And then old Granny Rose kicks
Speaker 2: him out of the car and starts singing some heartbreaking
Speaker 2: song to him. I've not been forty, I'm forty eight,
Speaker 2: forty years late. I'm still struggling for this could buy me?
Speaker 2: Just listen to this flipping just a jelopy.
Speaker 3: You'll hear the old chugger bug car. And she had
Speaker 3: poor old Fox.
Speaker 2: He don't know where he's gone. Young Toddy's an orphan
Speaker 2: and he was going to look after him in that
Speaker 2: old forest. Granny Rose, she does this cap bye old friend,
Speaker 2: some miserable old song, and then someone.
Speaker 3: Comes out of nowhere with a harmonica.
Speaker 5: To this day, if I hear a busker on harmonica,
Speaker 5: it is triggering.
Speaker 4: Could buy me.
Speaker 1: Seem forever stare will He's like begin in my eye
Speaker 1: and away.
Speaker 2: He kicks him out of the car in a minute,
Speaker 2: and he's not looking around like you come with me.
Speaker 3: You go for which he turns around as a new
Speaker 3: turn and thug us on and then he's just left
Speaker 3: there alone with this.
Speaker 2: Harmonica in the background, and she's drived away looking at him,
Speaker 2: crying in the rearview mirror.
Speaker 3: This song kicks in Lazy, She's looking at the review.
Speaker 3: He's crying. She's like, seeing this song, is it dismisserable?
Speaker 4: This is so said, so the sentiment of Jack, we
Speaker 4: shouldn't have to say goodbye. But she's the one kicking.
Speaker 2: Him out, yes, And then he has her going through
Speaker 2: the forest and that's when he meets his mate. And anyway,
Speaker 2: it's a great movie. Two friends that didn't know they
Speaker 2: were enemies. Damn you, Disney, you do.
Speaker 3: It so well. All right, it's got to Kate here,
Speaker 3: come on and Kate.
Speaker 6: Hey, Christian my the song that the song that as
Speaker 6: I always think that too. With Watership Down, straight.
Speaker 3: Away, it's like a knife to the heart, isn't it again?
Speaker 3: Why what were our parents thinking of? It's worse than
Speaker 3: if they sat some nightmare on Elm Street.
Speaker 2: The damage done to traumatizing kids with Watership Down.
Speaker 6: It was devastating, it really was. And every time I
Speaker 6: hear that song, and in fact that the Fox and
Speaker 6: the hond that you were just playing. I was getting
Speaker 6: a really sten to that.
Speaker 1: I've forgotten about that one. S.
Speaker 3: Let's go back to Watership Down. Now you've never seen it, Jack.
Speaker 4: I've pulled up the synopsters for it. I would never
Speaker 4: watch this. This animated feature delve into the surprisingly violent
Speaker 4: world of a warren of rabbits.
Speaker 3: Yes, straight away there who says let's make that for kids? Surprisingly?
Speaker 3: Why is it why these movies surprised us? Didn't they kate?
Speaker 3: There was no warning?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 6: I think I was five, I possibly was even younger
Speaker 6: when I saw it, so I don't.
Speaker 2: Know what.
Speaker 4: Just Toddler this bit is enough to say that it's
Speaker 4: not for kids. They come across a warren called Afraffra,
Speaker 4: three miles from Watership Down. The warren is run by
Speaker 4: a Hitler image tyrant who kills it.
Speaker 3: All the way.
Speaker 2: It's a Venn diagram of what kids love, surprising, violence
Speaker 2: and Hitler put together.
Speaker 3: I'm going to drop off my five year old there
Speaker 3: and go to the puble they watch it.
