- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Fixed it. Probably been a couple decades since I've seen that movie.
Ive got a 6yr old and a 2yr old... Its been maybe a week for me lol
We drove across country with the entire Disney song collection on cassette in the early 90s.
They are all ingrained in my brain.
I wonder how much smart shit I can’t remember because I can sing all the aristocats songs.
It's been that long? My sister has a 5yr old and a 4yr old that I babysit on the weekends and I made the mistake of showing them The Nightmare Before Christmas last year. For my sister and I it was our Christmas movie and I wanted to continue the tradition.
I only see my nieces for two days out of every week, but over the last year I've seen that movie so many times that I frequently wake up with "This is Halloween" stuck in my head or catch myself humming "Oogie Boogie's song."
I keep trying to show them other movies but it's seemingly the only thing they want to watch, and they're so polite about it that it's basically impossible to say no. I keep hoping they'll grow out of it or find something else, but it seems like I'm stuck watching this one movie forever.
Its because they are now very into magic school bus (the original), Wall-E, and Aristocats. They only get movies the two days my wife works during the week, and a few hours on the weekend.
They will likely cycle back in another week or so, that repeat obsession and rotate is fully expected.
And Nightmare Before Christmas is a solid choice! During the holidays I have different playlists of related movies, so we mostly do those - Nightmare Before Christmas gets to be in the Halloween and Christmas playlist so it gets extra playtime.
