When and where? I grew up in the US and never saw that.
- neilv 3y agoThat YouTube clip is from 1990 broadcast TV in a major northern coastal city market (Portland, OR). Around that time was also the Disney Channel, which many parents of young children would get for their cable TV package, for presumed kid-safe shows, and which showed many old Disney movies, including this one. Of course not everyone has seen it, but a lot have, maybe especially in households that prioritized exposure to "family-friendly" TV/movies.
- IG_Semmelweiss 3y agoI have not heard of this. Ive also not heard a reference to Portland as major northern city. As soon as I read that I assumed US NE coast. Why not western ? Also when you said "us schoolchildren were shown" you are directly implying this movie was (mandatory) shown in schools which based on your reply, is not what happened. 'US children' and network TV would have sufficed for your point. Honestly your writeup feels purposefully dramatic.
- neilv 3y agoI think I should've stopped commenting after the first note about safety.
- klyrs 3y agoAh, okay. When you said "schoolchildren" I interpreted that to mean that the movie was being shown in schools.
