This is coming from a place of love and support, but… It’s ‘shoo-in,’ not ‘shoe-in.’ It’s ‘case in point,’ not ‘case and point.’ It’s ‘moot point,’ not ‘mute point.’ It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’ It’s ‘jibe with,' not 'jive with.'

The Latin exchange between Doc and Johnny Ringo was Doc: In vino veritas. Ringo: Age quod agis. Doc: Credat Judaeus Apella, non ego. Ringo: Iuventus stultorum magister. Doc: In pace requiescat. The literal meanings are Doc: In wine there is truth. Ringo: Do what you’re doing.
When asked at a convention if Val Kilmer was difficult to work with, Michael Biehn said, “I don’t know.” Then, after a pause: “I never met Val Kilmer on Tombstone (1993). I only met Doc Holliday.”

The Secret of NIMH (1982) carries a heaviness most animated films avoid. The stakes feel real, the world feels hostile, and the story never reassures you that everything will be fine. It’s that emotional honesty that makes it unforgettable.
what animated film traumatized you as a child?
