is "don't talk so much" what the mother of the child said before locking them into a coffin and baking them into a cake?

@realhuntermmm just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse... -
Also I saw Toy Story 4 - it has some freaky ventriloquist dolls in thempic.twitter.com/EqKkuu2cKd

That should totally make that movie R rated. I will never understand why children’s movies are terrifying AF. The polar express has those creepy kids and it’s one long anxiety nightmare and kids LOVE IT.

Actually can this be a podcast? Why children movies are so terrifying?
-
@SchoolOfMovies thoughts?? -
Most creators that make children's movies terrifying are preparing the kids to face or comprehend fears as adults. They do this with creepy stuff, Goosebumps-style and make the subjects abstract. Primal fears of being caught and killed or of something that isn't quite right.

*Some* filmmakers are irresponsible because they fail to correctly estimate the measure of lasting trauma attached to say sustained torture of fluffy animals, even (and especially) when kids are asked to identify with said anthropomorphised animals.pic.twitter.com/gJJ6eDZ91c

One of the best ways of conveying it with the spoonful of comedy to allow kids to put things in perspective and not overload. The ones that stick in our heads are those where the weirdness and existential dread isn't wholly balanced by the humourpic.twitter.com/PfphvCa5xX

It seems to represent the protagonist of "Young Charlotte“ (Seba Smith, 1840) The girl frozen to death in a open sled while going to a dance with her fiance.

This reminds me of the babies Jesus figurines inside the "rosca de reyes" that's eaten in Spain and Latin America on January 6. These figurines are kind of cute, though.

Don’t talk so much? How about I just scream? Wtf. I’m so I glad I don’t like cake. Or dolls. Or coffins.

Apparantly it was like a warning against not bundling up from the cold just to look pretty. Which is cool and all, and I guess sorta explains the baking thing? But why were they so popular??
