10 Things You Absolutely Didn't Know About The Land Before Time

By Tanya
Sure, some people claim that Jurassic Park is THE definitive dinosaur movie, and while I would mostly agree, The Land Before Time movie technically came out first and you know what, it's amazing. It was directed and produced by Don Bluth who made a bunch of super popular movies in the 80s and 90s, including An American Tail, All Dogs Go To Heaven and Anastasia. Not only did this movie have the wonderful Don Bluth, but it also had Steven Spielberg AND George Lucas as executive producers. That's right, maybe Spielberg got some Jurassic Park inspiration from this? The movie

Jokes You Totally Missed In Rocko's Modern Life That Might Just Destroy Your Childhood

By Tanya
There were a lot of kids shows out there that had secret little messages for the parents, but probably none were as obvious about it as Rocko's Modern Life. The show was laced with double entendre and social commentary that tried to make the show a little more entertaining for the parents to watch with their kids. Watching it back now, it's shocking to see. I mean, as a kid obviously all of this just goes straight over your head but it definitely was there. This compilation video brings together some of the best and most ridiculous innuendos that made

You Probably Never Noticed Who Was Actually Working At Shining Time Station

By Tanya
Thomas the Tank Engine is a one of those classic characters we all know and love, but how many of you actually remember the show about the train station where he stayed? Shining Time Station was essentially the device to deliver the Thomas clips, and they had a few really impressive cast members! I never noticed who was actually in this show when I watched it, but looking back now it's pretty crazy! Didi Conn - Stacy JonesYou might know her better as Frenchie, but Didi Conn was in all three seasons of the show. She was basically the main

The First Trailer For The Dark Tower Is Finally Here

By Devin
For those of us who love Stephen King's epic fantasy/western/horror/sci-fi series The Dark Tower, it honestly seemed like this day would never come. A film adaptation of what King himself has described as his magnum opus has been floating in development limbo for at least a decade, seeming to alternate over whether it would be better suited to TV or film. Now, just a few short months away from its release in theaters, we finally have a trailer, and it looks incredible. GiphyThe road to get here has been long and winding. When it was announced that

More Than 25 Years Later The Feud Is Still Going On, But What Started It In The First Place?

By Tanya
Some shows are just too wonderful to leave in the past. The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air was one of the greatest sitcoms of the 90s and even though it is still loved, there has always been this big mystery surrounding one cast member in particular. When Aunt Viv was recast in the fourth season, everyone was confused. Janet Hubert played the character perfectly well in the the first three seasons, but in season four, Daphne Maxwell Reid stepped in. While both Aunt Vivs were good in their own way, a lot of people wondered why Hubert left. The story has

The Truth Behind Why This California Super Group Dried Up

By Tanya
There are few commercials that are good enough to spawn an entire sensation, but The California Raisins did just that. It all started as a campaign to get more people to eat raisins. Seriously, that's how it happened. Apparently the California Raisin Advisory Board said that "we have tried everything but dancing raisins singing 'I Heard it Through the Grapevine" so they gave that a try and wow, did it ever work. The ads started with some claymation raisins singing "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" and everyone seemed to go nuts over it. So much so that these little

For Those Of Us Without A Nintendo, These Were The Next Best Thing.

By Tanya
There were a lot of us who couldn't afford the latest gaming systems when we were young, so we had to find our own coping mechanisms to deal with that sadness. Some decided they didn't like video games and instead played with other toys, some would spend a lot of time with their friends who had them, and some would instead get one of these little handheld games and pretend it was just as good. Theses little "Electronic Hand Held Games" were the closest we could get without spending too much money, so we went with it. They would usually

Seeing The Real-Live Muses Will Change How You Feel About Hercules

By Tanya
Watching a Disney movie is a really magical experience. The amount of care that seems to be put into them really comes across on screen and every moment is perfect. The movie Hercules is one of the most under appreciated Disney movies out there and has some of the best songs by far. If you haven't seen Hercules, you really need to get caught up because it came out twenty years ago (seriously, how was this that long ago). The movie is about the Grecian God Hercules who had been sent down to Earth and turn almost completely mortal. But

The Best Chipmunks Movie Out There Raises More Than A Few Big Questions

By Tanya
We all know Alvin and the Chipmunks right? Of course they have had their big CGI reboot, but for us 80s and 90s kids we know that the BEST Alvin and the Chipmunks movie was made a long time ago, thirty years to be exact. The most perfect Chipmunks movie by far was The Chipmunk Adventure made back in 1987. While it was obviously perfect, I do have some questions about it. I mean, it's a movie about chipmunks, and I understand it's for kids, but I still have some concerns. Let me explain the plot of this movie and

13 Things Kids Today Would Be Completely Baffled By

By Tanya
Growing up before the internet was everywhere makes for some very interesting memories. We know how it felt to be unreachable, we remember having to take only a certain number of pictures, and we know what the phrase "Be kind, rewind" means. Kids today have no idea how lucky they are. While I am sure our parents said the same about us, there really have been a crazy amount of technological advances over the last 15-20 years and the world is basically unrecognizable. Here a few relics that you may remember but kids today probably couldn't identify. Do you remember
