My wife thinks the Umpa Lumpa song, particularly the line about the fat girl, will give our daughters (1 & 3) problems with body image.

I think it’s a harmless funny movie with fun songs.

who’s being unreasonable?

Does Verruca Salt get love eggs not golden eggs?

🤣🤣 I am intrigued! I can't even imagine what that would look like!

Actually - yes I can!! 🤣🙈🤣

I don't think this post has gone in the direction you were hoping for it to go, but it is still the best post of the day!

Windymcwindyson · 01/02/2024 19:25

Surely you mean Rampant Rabbit?

Wonka or Wanka at 1 and 3 they are too young imo.

I think Willy Wanka is a different type of film….

😂😂😂😂😂

I don’t know if “fat” is the problem here for kids those ages - I think the more likely problem is that they’ll find the movie too scary.

Adding to the game:

Bareback Mounting

The Semenator

Ask MN to.
I think that it's OK, they've changed fat to enormous, which isn't any better. Just leave off seeing the original until they are a lot older. RD books should still be on a child's reading list, if able.

BEST AUTOCORRECT EVER 😂

Do you mean Willy Wonka and the chocolate? (Aka the original film.) My dc were scared of the boat scene.

Or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? (2005 Film.) They were scared of the melting dolls.

Or Wonka? The one that's out now?

I don't remember a song about a fat girl in any of them. There is however a fat boy.

Poppysmom22 · 01/02/2024 19:40

You’ll probably be ok to show them willy wonka but if you show them willy wanka you’ll get a call from social services

Willy Wanka is what my elderly mother has called him for years - it used to send my teen kids into hysterics to the extent that they kept baiting her to say it. They're now in their 40s and they still do it to her! This is the woman who asked me if my friend had a new vulva!*

*she meant volvo :)

🤣🤣🤣

Except it's not an autocorrect. It's deliberate.

I totally didn't google it to see if there's Willy Wonka porn.

But if anyone was curious....there is 😂
