"A deleted scene from the Disney classic Frozen as directed by John Carpenter." (SLYT; colorful walls and language).

Oops ! I was about to show that to my daughter. With such teasing, better add NSFC. Thanks anyway, it's nice watching this after enduring the movie itself a number of times.

I think John Carpenter and Nick Park had a hand in that. That was excellent, but I agree it should have a warning on it, if only for the fact that kids might be upset by the swearing reindeer.

School me. Is this referencing something directly? I feel I'm missing the pop-culture linking element.

It's a scene from John Carpenter's The Thing.

I loved The Thing, didn't like Frozen so much, and loved this video.

isthmus: "I loved The Thing, didn't like Frozen so much, and loved this video."

Might want to clarify that.

I loved John Carpenter's The Thing, didn't like Frozen so much, and loved this video.

Because, there is this one too. (Which I never finished. Struck me as boring.)

Erm, the fact the plasticine reindeer says: "I'd rather not spend the rest of this winter TIED TO THIS FUCKING COUCH!".

I would have found that delightful as a kid, YMMV.

I mean, do you want your kids to learn about sex furniture from an animated parody of a horror movie from thirty years ago, or do you want them to learn about it on the streets?

There are parents who'd see something from John Carpenter and think, "I'll show this to my kids"?

I just watched The Thing for the first time two days ago, so this is relevant to my interests.

Also amazing, The Things by Peter Watts:

I am being Blair. I escape out the back as the world comes in through the front.
I am being Copper. I am rising from the dead.
I am being Childs. I am guarding the main entrance.

My favorite part of The Things is how The Thing is completely frustrated by MacReady, because Kurt Russell is terrific.

This documentary could help with that.

Prince Hans blowing his brains out was particularly disturbing. Was that from the original? I didn't see it when I watched the scene on YouTube just now.
