    But there was an animated Phantom of the Opera. And I am also sure Warner Brothers have spoofed it more than once in their cartoons.

    It’s me. I spent my childhood playing with my brothers outside. My wife is constantly finding things like this out.

    Rapid fire, one thing he learned about her:

    She’s a pretentious douche.

      how is she a pretentious douche? she’s just pointing out he either missed or misunderstood common childhood stories that literally everyone knows.

          lol what. those stories are all part of european folklore, children and people have known them for about 200 years, longer if you count their non-standardized forms before Grimm and Anderson.

          sounds like you’re very sensitive and you think people pointing out facts about other people is looking down on them… might want to work on your low self esteem or just go watch the little mermaid, or read the book.

          and stop being so weird and thinking common folk stories are ‘only for disney people’.

            I doubt someone growing up in the 2000s will have watched little mermaid. A person at work said that one of the oldest films they can recall watching is Shrek. Little mermaid was older when Shrek came out then Shrek is now so I can totally see people having not ever seen it.

              i have four nephews and they all know what little mermaid and all the other disney/grimm/anderson folklore is.

              sounds like you did not have a childhood rich in classic stories? maybe you are not american/european?

              if you said ‘An indian immigrant child probably doesn’t know what little mermaid is’ yeah, probably.

              these are not just movies dude, they are folklore embedded in western culture. like most Americans have never read the Constitution, but they know that it exists.
