Milo and Otis - Why I Will NEVER Watch it Again...

[Terro]

(Although it's about a movie, I figured moving to 'serious discussion' would work better for the topic itself...)

So firstly, I had NO idea the movie The Adventures of Milo and Otis was a dub of a Japanese movie. Secondly, I had NO IDEA the movie was edited... Now, I'm all for saying 'no' to censorship, but in this case I'm VERY glad they made the cuts they did!!

You see, I watch Nostalgia Critic/Chick often and figured I'd watch one of the reviews I missed from a few weeks ago. You know, the one about the cute animals. I remember watching it when I was young and how one of my friends said it was her FAVORITE movie at the time... Well, now I can't see it in the same way as I did... I had no idea about the animal violence in the original Japanese cut...

Here is the video review but with a WARNING about the cut footage... It's disturbing... I wish I knew what I was to expect

For those curious on the issue that would rather read about it than watch it, check out the Wiki page here.

Now, why am I posting this? I'm just shocked... I would NEVER have known! Ignorance can be bliss, but I guess it's best to know what really happens, right? Either way: WHY JAPANESE FILMAKERS, WHY??!! You could've made your artsy movie without those choice scenes in it... It just makes me sad

I... I loved that movie so much as a kid. I... do not think that I can actually even read about the content. This... oh, my...

Terro, you should have kept this evil to yourself...

[Terro]

I had no idea myself... I wonder if people that watched the Japanese version thought it was "just a movie"... It was supposed to be cutesy there too, but WHY?? I can't ask this question enough...

[Dusty Starr]

Looking at the Wiki article... I really, really hope that it is not true...

[Terro]

Well, that's why I posted a warning on the video >_> It's where you can come to your own conclusions... I REALLY wish I had a warning when I watched it to know what to expect...

[Dusty Starr]

Yeah... I suppose that was for the best... but this topic should never have existed. ;_;

[Dusty Starr]

There is no room for a smiling emote in this topic, Tom...

[Terro]

Well I guess it can get deleted... I`m just in shock and I know not many people really know the truth behind the old movie that North America tried to come off as `cute and cuddly`...

Well, the worst part is that if it is real, then we have a moral obligation to not let it go under the rug... but what if that ruined it for more people? Man, it just sucks...

Whats in the past is in the past. No need to go digging up a dead horse just to beat it.
