It's funny just how well nostalgia clouds our eyes, giving us pangs for what used to be.
As a child, we had a big disc folder, where we kept all of our cd's, more than a few bought from the Indian store at the corner, with titles written on pen. The movies in that folder were replayed so very often, as a child I'd open it up every Friday night and choose what fantasy world I'd be spending my night in.
I recently stumbled across Yogi Bear on a streaming site, not having watched it since I was a child. I put it on, not expecting more than a silly 90 minutes. But is it bad to say I kind of loved it? I realize this must be the nostalgia speaking, as I see that the movie is almost universally panned. However, I just found it to be a joy to watch. And yes, this is an oversentimental review of a childrens movie.
So, I don't know. Maybe give Yogi Bear a watch. Maybe pull up some movie from when you were young. Maybe it'll surprise you.

In his modern day and age, it is sad to see that critics and expectations are completely ruining movies for people. People are not seeing movies as they normally would, but rather through the lens of hype, critics and expectations. I call this the Last Jedi syndrome. For those who haven't seen the Last Jedi, The last Jedi was a perfectly fun and exciting movie with great effects and story. It was even nominated for 5 oscars! However, people hated on it because it was not the typical Star Wars movie, and it was different than they expected. This also occurred with Thugs of Hindostan. People went in expecting the greatest Bollywood film in the last decade, with an explosive collaboration with Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachan. This movie was just a different type of movie. It is not your regular Aamir Khan movie, with a cunning story, breathtaking acting and universal acclaim. Rather, it is an exciting summer film with great acting and gripping action. So, a word from the wise, go into this movie with low expectations, and expect a summer film. That said, it was a pretty fun and funny movie. The definite highlight was Aamir Khan as Firangi Mallah. Have fun!
