Today we dove into Sarah's childhood again with this candy-colored acid trip. There's not much of a plot but there's a lot of public domain songs and a morale. Jade seemed to like it at least.
Our main kid is playing with her two friends but after they can't agree what to play, she decides to let them go off without her while she stays home and hallucinates for an hour with her two giant sentient teddy bears. They go down her slide into the rock candy mountain land that also has a Rasta ragdoll lion(?), a giant bird who speaks in idioms, and his My Little Pony translator. They hear from some mice about Bunny Fou Fou whacking them on the head, which will eventually become a thing. They sing a bunch of songs, watch a fly and bee puppet get married, eat lunch, look at clouds, and tell a lot of really bad jokes. Eventually Bunny Fou Fou is punished for assault with polka dots and crinkled ears. It turns out, he didn't want to play the games the mice did and they didn't want to play his games so he turned to violence. This is the lesson for our main who learns that sometimes you gotta do what you don't want to if you don't want to be left alone with your imagination. She returns to reality and consent to playing soccer with her neighbors.
This film wasn't funny per se, but it was engagingly weird.
