What were your favorite childhood stories?
I grew up as the computer was being developed for mass market. We had no CGI or spiffy special effects. We had Disney and a few lesser known 'story tellers' to fill our imaginations with tales of adventure and mystery. One of the highlights of the Holiday season was getting to watch some of these films during class. All of the old stand by Holiday classics were on TV (I'm not that old) so we got: Johnny Appleseed, Paul Bunyan, Peco's Bill, John Henry and few others. Real heroes who could plant a nation, deforest a mountain range, lasso a tornado or drive a spike that could divide a continent. They are some of my fondest memories as a child. I feel sorry for the modern generation, brought up on lame Purple dinosaurs (our dinosaurs would eat you, not hug you) and nondescript, multi-colored, egg shaped things. So, in the spirit of the holiday season, I present one of my all time favorites:
So what were your favorite stories and who were your heros? If you can find a video, great. If not, just tell us about it.
