To be shocked watching back kids movies from my childhood with DD

DD is 6 and we watch quite a few films together, mixture of old and new. Last Halloween I was so excited to watch a film from my childhood, decided against hocus pocus but went with Casper. Well, turns out not once but TWICE Eric idle's character shouts BITCH at Carrigan. (She's is tbf but a bit much for a Pg film).

Just sat down to watch Charlie and the chocolate factory (from 2005!) and mike teevee says 'even a retard could figure it out'. What the hell!

Any other corkers you've come across watching back your childhood films?

When I watched Grease for the first time in about 30 years, I was horrified by the way they treated Eugene.

Yes some of the scenes in that are too much for me

There are lots of examples like that, but the worst in my opinion is the film ‘Little Rascals’

so much wrong with that I don’t know where to start

I've only seen that once or twice when I was young, I wonder if it's worth a rewatch

I rewatched Home Alone last year and frankly found myself shocked and wincing at the amount of violence inflicted on the wet bandits 😂

@GingerLiberalFeminist OT but bloody hate home alone as a adult for all the plot holes that I now cannot unsee!
