Choose Your Own Adventure

If you like dark, creepy tunnels, turn to page 64.
If you don't like dark creepy tunnels, turn to page 18.

*thinks, I don't really like dark, creepy tunnels, turns to page 64*

Page 64 - By turning away from the entrance to the dark, creepy tunnel, you have fallen down a concealed mine shaft. You die.

If you didn't like the ending to this story, go back to the page you came from and Choose Your Own Adventure again!

*goes to page 18, grumbling over dying*
Hahaha, I used to do those things practically religiously. :D Loved em.

VHS tapes? That makes me think..

Anyone remember the cartoon Thumbalina?? LOL Watched that recently. I also have The Iron Giant.

Anastasia is great, too. Dimitri is like the only cartoon character I've ever been attracted to! :rotfl

Him and Trunks from Drangonball Z... :blushing

Oh, and just to throw it out there POWER RANGERS! :rockon And not just Mighty Morphin.

I dressed up as Thumbelina for Halloween in Kindergarten. :blushing

The Iron Giant is one of the only animated movies (and really, one of the few movies) that's made me cry. Who knew you could feel sympathy for a bunch of metal? Best movie Vin Diesel's ever been in.

ZOMG, Anastasia! I have the soundtrack and I still listen to it occasionally.

Zomg! Anastasia is like my favoritist animated movie ever! I too, have the soundtrack and listen to it all the time. <3

Oh wow. Thumbelina. That takes me waaaaaaay back.

Actually, that movie reminds me of another one almost similar.......what was it? Hold up.

*Google searches*

OH! It was Fern Gully. Any of you watch that? That movie freaked me out as a kid, when that oil, toxic crap went apeshit and tried to destroy everything. *shudders* :P

Love love love Fern Gully! Fabulous cast of voices: Samatha Mathis, Christian Slater, Tim Curry, Robin Williams.

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

Dude. I have watched Fern Gully TWICE in the past week. Oh the joys of couch arrest :D (Hexxus was played by Tim Curry. Don't know if anyone else knew that.)

I also watched Quest for Camelot today. Anyone else remember that?

Teehee. I meant the "stalking sarafim" part underneath. Although, I have admired those Moey-made graphics before. I'm pretty sure I entered the fandom after the monday/ithilien OTP had already been established. :D I had to catch up with everything.

i forgot i had put that there. i am still. there are more requests to be made of you, sarafim. *shakes hands maniacally* many more. Such as, you know, the hayloft needs some artists who are good with manips.

just sayin'

especially for our september challenge.

That's because Dimitir is voiced by John Cusack who is so :wub worthy, its ridiculous.

Fern Gully? :ftw If anyone ever felt like getting me a 'just 'cause' gift, or something for my birthday or Christmas or because it's Wednesday, or whatever, this would be an excellent DVD to get me.

And just for the record, I had crushes on a whole slew of animated characters when I was younger including, but not limited to: Velma, Prince Eric, and that sexy-voiced animated fox Robin Hood.

Totally had a crush on Disney's Robin Hood. Never really struck me that maybe having a crush on a FOX was, you know, not right. Probably a sign that I wasn't really going to do so well in the dating men department.

Also? So that I am somewhat on topic? Choose Your Own Adventure FTMFW! I read so many of those it's not even funny. I even wrote one once. As a computer program. Yes, I am a nerd.

Also Northern Exposure FTW! I miss that show.

Also...I totally watched Robin Hood as part of the party for my 18th birthday. And I'll probably do it again for my 20th this year. (Less than a month, w00t!)

If we're doing movie, I nominate The Lion King, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, and pretty much every animated Disney movie ever. Except Pinocchio; that one creeped the shit out of me. Alice in Wonderland, too.

OMG. HELL YES.

I still, to this day, cannot watch Pinnochio. Just....can't. And I remember, as a kid, my aunt had this one version of Pinnochio that was SO DARK and disturbing and just plain creepy that I couldn't sleep for weeks. Nononononononono to Pinnochio!

can't do pinocchio, can't do sleeping beauty. thought sleeping beauty is purely about the voice of sleeping beauty. it's totally not dark enough to be the real story. i've never seen pocahontas or brother bear (isn't that a disney?), and umm ... is it disney that puts out the Gihbli films like Spirited Away and such? I've never seen Spirited Away or Howl's Moving Castle. (Though that is one of my favorite books ever ever ever in the whole history of ever.)

Also, i use chose your own adventures with my classes because i teach a whole unit on making choices and what those choices do for you.

I was never a fan of the Goosebumps books. I don't know why. It's not 'cause I thought they were scary - I just wasn't into them. No, if I was going to read a scary story it was going to be in one of those Scary Stories books by Alivn Schwartz. Remember those? With the uber creepy drawings? Yeah. I loved those.

No, as far as series went, aside from the CYOA, I did love the Babysitter's Club series and the subsequent (and more poorly written) Little Sister's series. I also loved The Boxcar Children.
