Has anyone had embarrassing crushes on cartoon/movie characters as a child/young teenager?
As a child, I had a massive thing for Jafar from Disney's Aladdin, lol. The Jafar fantasy carried on for quite a while when I was a teenager. My friends take the piss out of me for it, and I don't blame them! I also had a thing for Hades from Hercules. No accounting for taste!
As an older teenager, I developed a vampire obsession, and had a thing for Lestat from 'Queen of the Damned' and Gary Oldman as Dracula... oh dear haha
What are yours?
Anyway I should stop procrastinating on here and get on with my college work...
I wish I did! I never had any sexual/romantic feelings for movie characters- and I was never interested in cartoons. I'm trying to think really hard about it. I do remember having a favourite character in the Wizard of Oz. I liked him a lot and felt protective over him lol! I'm not sure it was a crush though.
I always found the original wizard of oz creepy I don't know why and I can never put my finger on it
The best films, you never get the first few times. Some music is the same. You usually get it when your ready though. It takes experience to know something. Some people buy books, music or movies for example and don't know why at the time and years later it clicks.
For example, I used to think ' The Deer Hunter ' movie was pro-war until I watched it multiple times and decades later I finally got it . It was showing the horrors and stupidity of war and was much more ant-war than I first thought.
It was quite a dark story in places.
