Clash of the Titans through an Actual Kid's Eyes

1981


On the storyline:
"They're getting the myths wrong!"
(That's my girl!- same age as I was when it came out and same reaction.)

On the storyline continuing:
"The movie got better later."

On technological advances since Jason:
"Olympus looks much cooler."

On knowing myths and geography:
"Wait... why are there Greek gods and Roman soldiers in an Assyrian town?"

On Pegasus:
Anabelle- "Its a pegasus!"
Me- "No, it's just "Pegasus," its a name, not a type like a unicorn."
Anabelle- "They just used a horse to film the close ups, didn't they."
Me- "Maaaaybe."

On Calibos:
"What's the problem with Caboose."

On less than stellar day for night filters:
"Is it supposed to be dark? Because it isn't."

On the riddle being obviously a ring:
"Hmmmmm."

On Cassiopeia calling her daughter, "more lovely than the goddess:"
"WHOOPS!"

On the one guard's contemporary hair style:
"Who's Eighties 'fro man?"

On unique thoughts:
"What if Pegasus has to pee?  
Does he go all over everyone below him?"

On some odd costume and makeup choices:
"Why is Caboose working with the Oompa Loompas?"

On Bubo:
Anabelle- "Why is there a robot owl?"
Me- "Kids love Bubo."
Anabelle- "Yes we do."

On why the Kraken is coming:
Anabelle- "He's there for the sushi."
Me- "You mean the sacrifice?"
Anabelle- "Whatever."

On Bubo saving the day, thus completing his R2-D2 analogy:
"YAAAAAAAAAAAY!"

On the Kraken turning to stone and collapsing:
"He's krackin'"
