She says, "uh oh, the bads are coming!" when they march through Salzburg. I remember having nightmares as a child that the Nazis were marching down our road and I had to hide before they cam into the house to search for us. Now I wonder if I got the idea from this film - how else would I have known about Nazis at such a young age?<br />On the ohter hand, we can no longer watch Bambi as she's scared of the mother dying. I have a no nonsense view about these things - they're just films.

What about the Nazi's etc. - does she watch all of it with you? my 5 year old knows most of the songs (in English plus a few in Hebrew), but I am worried it will be too scary for her. We watched the 1970s version of charlie and the chocolate factory, and we had to stop because she got scared, and she had nightmares after.

Just so you know for future holidays? :) BavarianSojournhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12701272367912860549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692517788030253147.post-6123667400322710452013-06-20T17:50:42.924+03:002013-06-20T17:50:42.924+03:00I'd forgotten about Oliver - love that film bu...I'd forgotten about Oliver - love that film but I also remember it going on a bit too long (Dickens fault I think) and tbh, The Wizard of Oz is a bit dated and a tad boring these days. I loved them then though.

My nostalgia for all 3 films is very strong because of the ritual and guarantee that they would be shown every year.<br />Gilly Cannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393339396656670745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692517788030253147.post-18185743694883813232013-06-20T08:38:36.178+03:002013-06-20T08:38:36.178+03:00I remember thinking that the Baroness was the wick...I remember thinking that the Baroness was the wicked witch of the story when i was little - but she's not, she's just sad.

I never seem to watch it from start to finish though! But like you I did watch it over xmas or bits of it and thought urgh him getting off with a nun etc - you certainly look at it through different eyes as an adult xxthe 1970s diethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04657242520631105635noreply@blogger.com
