In 1939 Victor Fleming directed Wizard of Oz and Gone With the Wind. Sound of Music was made in 1964 or 1965 by Richard Donner.

The saddest things in regards to dolphins is they are some of the smartest animals on the planet, second to humans. So the dolphin committing suicide? It knew and was just...done.

[khlueeu]

I heard quite some time ago how when they wanted Shirley Temple to cry in a scene they would tell her something terrible had happened to her pet or her family that was cruel so I can imagine how the other young stars were treated

[magicball]

One fact that ruined my childhood was that in the Adventures of Milo and Otis, they actually threw over 30 live cats over a cliff. Most of them died. That's what led to the Humane Society monitoring films that work with animals.

[ericswanson]

I thought the USA joined the war in ‘41. The Wizard of Oz came out in ‘39.

[marycutler]

The Sound of Music was not made in 1939.

#2 had me in stitches. My daughter loved Pooh!! And the different characters are hilarious!!!

Great video!! Thank you Mike!!❤❤❤

[DaddyOfTheSugarVariety]

I've never heard Santa Claus referred to as a giant. Only an elf or an elderly man.

[robinsmith]

I think Victor Fleming worked on Gone With the Wind too.

[simonrancourt]

Coyotes run twice as fast as roadrunners.

[j.p.]

17:26 Yeah, my coworkers gave me the nickname Eeyore, so that’s pretty accurate

[paulsarnik]

Um, The Sound of Music was made in the 60's I think!😮. 🤓😎✌🏼

[scottclark]

I’m convinced childhood is the greatest deception of all time

[maryoneill]

Thanks Mike that's my childhood gone down the drain

[Rigel_Chiokis]

The modern depiction of Santa Claus, the jolly ol' man, with the big belly and red suit trimmed in white fur, was actually created by Coca Cola.

Dr. Suess also drew a lot of pornography.

[littlesongbird]

What happened to Judith was heart breaking. She also never lived long enough to see her other film All dogs go to Heaven.

[terriehumphries]

My Dad used to joke with us and tell us we were eating rabbit poop when we ate Coa Coa puffs. 😂😂😂😂

[MikadoYuma]

Why is drawing asian characters with distinct Asian characteristics racist? This world is insane.

[bnz]

Mike, your shirts are always so awesome!

[ribunny]

Dr suess having racist drawings doesnt ruin my childhood because he felt guilty for it and moved on as a person, eventually even made horton hears a who partially based on getting over biases and listening to other countries. Knowing people can change and regret being bigoted is a nice thing.
