...okay, not limited to films/TV stuffs, but pop culture in general.
Kids, I think, view the world mainly through assumptions and imaginative associations other than what they are, without the reasoning to differ special effects and whatever from the real stuff, ultimately causing the producers of content aimed for children, for example, to do things that prove to scare the hell out of us even though it wasn't (supposedly) planned to do so. It can be anything, really: from the eventual uncanny close-ups that those post-modern cartoons exploited quite a bit (talk about Spongebob Squarepants) to anything classic Teletubbies. The fact that it's more common than I usually thought was sort of comforting!
...even though, as fully grown-ups, they usually come across as something extremely innocuous and stupid!
Did you have any experiences related to this that you think that makes sense to share with us? lol. I think that the best thing about it is that most of these things are also menacing by the collective consciousness, then I wouldn't be very surprised if someone yelled "omg me too" out of your response.
Maybe I have one or two things to talk about it, but I think it gets more fun if I find the respective material on yb!
Yep, what a thread :P
