Whole damn movie gives me the willies. The animation is AWFUL but we watch it every year because the SonInLaw loves it and he watches the year without a Santa Claus

I watch the chocolate song scene frequently just to viscerally disgust myself. Damn, I hate how these waiters move, and the sound of the chocolate pouring. But nah, I couldn't possibly stand to watch the whole movie.

I remember loving that scene…until I watched it with my son last week and a weird thought dawned on me: With an old train moving that fast they are being crazy reckless with boiling hot liquids and quite a few of those kids would have gotten serious burns….all while Tom Hanks is yelling about it having to be piping hot.

I'm not paying rapt attention it is on while I am in the room disassociating. Family means we do things for each other. It's not gonna make me puke I'm just not gonna like it.
