She has three videos. This is the first one.

I watched Mr. Rogers a good bit growing up. I thought it was neat seeing an early episode of him.

Love the clips of Dr. Steve Brule from "Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!". John C. Reilly's pretty funny

This is from Ozu Yasujirou's 1947 film Record of a Tenement Gentleman (長屋紳士録). Just after WW2, Japan's urban streets were filled with kids without adults, but life was difficult for everyone; in the film, a non-verbal child follows a tenement gentleman (Chishu Ryu) home, and the other residents of the building are initially unsubtle about their resentment and their reluctance to provide care. This was a shakaimono film (a social commentary film) with the message, life is tough for us all right now, but actually, the kids have got to be loved. Ozu was one of the silent film directors who transitioned beautifully to talkies, but there's a silent slapstick flavour lingering even I think in his later films.

This is one of my favourite scenes. The song is a love story: the lovers marry, but after their honeymoon, the man has to sail away to the war: oh, what a sad story... it's not included in this snippet, but in the lead-up to the song, the characters say that it originally accompanied a street peep-show performance (覗き絡繰り, nozoki karakuri).

Three Georges Méliès films.
*** NO CGI ***

Oh, look! A cute kid's show Learning With Pibby! I'm going to check it out, even though I'm an adult.

Um....uh-oh....

Unsurpassed entertainment! (Seems sarcastic, but for me, I found it interesting)
I am fascinated how her brain works, and I'm always interested in keyboards.

This scene is from the movie "The Siege" made in 1998 that I think was scarily ahead of its time. I had thought about this scene recently with recent events. Great movie overall and just thought it was neat how forward thinking this movie was given when it was made.

The attitudes and opinions of 7 year old children in the 1960s

It's incredible to hear their views on race, gender, class, politics, education and just everything really

I'd recommend watching this if you've got a spare bit of time

It's very very good
