Veggietales on VHS was on rotation on my house a lot. From time to time, Thomas and the Magic Railroad (2000) was also on, a fever-dream of a film that has a coked-out Alec Baldwin, a too-depressed Peter Fonda, and an in-her-prime Mara Wilson. I watched a lot of Cars as well when that came out.
I also watched The Brave Little Toaster a bunch whenever I went to my grandma's house, at the same age when I enjoyed Barney. That probably explains my distrust of clowns and messed me up a little.
Fukin love thomas the tank engine, worms its way in my brain its so friendly yet so uncanny.
I was around when the VHS to DVD transition happened, I remember Blockbuster and small-time movie rental places, and then as I got older I remember when Netflix came in the mail
. My family would get The Next Generation on DVD and it's kind of incredible just how little information was on those things, just 3-4 episodes of prime TNG in standard definition.
