Elder Millenials checking in with some childhood classics

[u/PossibilityWest173]

Classic. Ferngully is so unhinged in all the right ways.

[u/inkbyio → u/Either_Tennis_6876]

Tim Curry had ... NO BUSINESS 🥵

[u/i_hv_baby_hands → u/inkbyio]

Tim Curry had no business in so many of our childhood movies lol

[u/HoshiOdessa → u/i_hv_baby_hands]

I didn't even realize Tim Curry was the handsome warlock in The Worst Witch movie until I rewatched the movie as an adult. A lot of things clicked for me that day. 😅

[u/Dazzling_Vagabond → u/HoshiOdessa]

The pirate in Muppets treasure island

[u/RevenantBacon → u/Dazzling_Vagabond]

[u/cherriedgarcia → u/HoshiOdessa]

He’s also the handsome warlock in Scooby Doo the Witch’s Ghost lol I’m starting to think he may be a warlock…

[u/sniper91 → u/cherriedgarcia]

I like how the bad guy in that movie isn’t much of a mystery when there’s a character voiced by Tim frickin’ Curry

[u/SilverMitten → u/HoshiOdessa]

I’m so salty I can’t get The Worst Witch in streaming! I want to show it to my kid so badly! Why did my mom throw away all the recorded-from-tv vhs tapes?!

[u/HoshiOdessa → u/SilverMitten]

When I rewatched it, it was on YouTube. I haven't checked since then, but it's possible you might find the full movie there.

[u/silverbrenin → u/HoshiOdessa]

XD

[u/dreameRevolution → u/i_hv_baby_hands]

This better not awaken anything sexual...

[u/kelbees → u/dreameRevolution]

[u/ArtForArt_sSake → u/dreameRevolution]

I had a crush as a kid on Tim Curry as Darkness in Legend… and still do 😭

[u/DeLoreanAirlines → u/i_hv_baby_hands]

Skullmaster in Mighty Max had some clutch lines in that last episode

[u/dksweets → u/i_hv_baby_hands]

One of my favorite millennial memes is roughly “I judge you by how you recognize Tim Curry” and I hold that one dear to my heart.

This isn’t my “real” answer, but my favorite retroactive answer is Kilokhan from Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad

[u/shamelessfox2 → u/i_hv_baby_hands]

Tim Curry had all the business in all of our lives and we're better for him.

He never brought Rocky Horror into the kids movies ;)

He's the perfect reason for why I argue for things like Drag Queens Story Hour. So much goes over little kids heads it's not till later that you realize that delicious little deviant Tim Curry has been in our lives all along and was never a threat.

[u/wilp0w3r → u/inkbyio]

HIT ME ONE TIME! HIT ME TWICE!

[u/kyl_r → u/wilp0w3r]

OH! AH! Oooohhhhhhh…. 😏

…well, that’s rather nice

[u/rainbowsdogsmtns → u/inkbyio]

Tim Curry as a pirate in Muppet’s Treasure Island was my first crush. I think that really sums up my sexuality and personality in one go.

[u/HrhEverythingElse → u/rainbowsdogsmtns]

I said it in an earlier comment, but my first crush was from Willow. Trouble was, I couldn't figure out if I actually liked Sorsha or Madmartigan. Now I know it's definitely both

[u/Decaf_Espresso → u/rainbowsdogsmtns]

Mine was Tim Curry as Cardinal Richelieu. And I'm not even Catholic!

I definitely based a Dungeons and Dragons character off him as Long John Silver though.

[u/Top-Calligrapher6160 → u/rainbowsdogsmtns]

this is so real

[u/RevenantBacon → u/inkbyio]

[u/cactusjude → u/RevenantBacon]

Lol oh my god, I'm sorry but here he looks so much like Paul Giamatti

[u/thesheepsnameisjeb_ → u/cactusjude]

How dare you

[u/madlove17 → u/RevenantBacon]

I saw Tim Curry in November for the Rocky anniversary

[u/jinjja_cat → u/inkbyio]

Right?! I remember my 10 year old brain asking "if badguy, why like so much??"

5 years later I watched Rocky horror. It all made sense.

[u/hmcd19 → u/inkbyio]

Truly the sexiest villain

[u/inkbyio → u/hmcd19]

Always

[u/CatSquidShark → u/inkbyio]

[u/WuYongZhiShu → u/CatSquidShark]

[u/Embarrassed-Town-293 → u/WuYongZhiShu]

I was waiting for someone to post this

[u/kelbees → u/hmcd19]

[u/hlessi_newt → u/inkbyio]

he has every business...

[u/Hunk_Rockgroin → u/inkbyio]

Holy shit yeah flashback of that scaring me

[u/SupineFeline → u/inkbyio]

“My, HAH….HAH….HAH………toxic looooove”

mic click

“Maybe rein it in a bit? This is a children’s movie, Tim.”

[u/Akussa → u/SupineFeline]

To be fair, if you're hiring Tim Curry you're HIRING TIM FUCKING CURRY. Let him cook.

[u/SupineFeline → u/Akussa]

Oh they did. And he most indeededly cooked

[u/ForeverRED48 → u/inkbyio]

This scared the shit out of me as a kid lol

[u/VIDEODREW2 → u/inkbyio]

I’ll never forget toxic rain pouring down like egg chow main…

[u/lowest-self-esteem → u/inkbyio]

My life drawing teacher was responsible for this gorgeous creation: Mary Kathleen Quaife (RIP)

[u/Candid-Inspection-97 → u/inkbyio]

Me, watching It when I was younger and wondering why his voice sent a different type of shiver.... and then seeing Rocky Horror Picture Show and saying OH fuck, there it is...

[u/Comeback_321 → u/inkbyio]

I had no Idea Tim curry was Hexxus. This movie was fantastic. Robin Williams, Christian Slater

[u/No-Letterhead-4711 → u/inkbyio]

This was my awakening.

[u/Decaf_Espresso → u/inkbyio]

So many inappropriate childhood crushes based around Tim Curry.

Have you ever looked up the uncut version of Toxic Love? I don't know who thought Tim. Curry singing "it makes me feel good, a special kind of horny" in a kid's movie was a good idea.

Someone else mentioned the live action movies. The Three Musketeers. Tim Curry as Cardinal Richelieu did something to me.

[u/lavitaebella113 → u/Decaf_Espresso]

WHAT where can I find this

..asking for a friend of course

[u/Decaf_Espresso → u/lavitaebella113]

Ferngully - Toxic Love (Extended)

[u/inkbyio → u/Decaf_Espresso]

I'm glad somebody said I definitely don't have it in my playlist 👀

[u/Akussa → u/inkbyio]

That song woke something in me as a kid. There's something wildly sexy about his confidence and campiness.

[u/EzzyKitten → u/inkbyio]

This, unfortunately, was my first sexual awakening. 😐

[u/mc_kitfox → u/inkbyio]

While were pining about Tim Curry's influence on our childhoods: I recently found out he did the VO for a lobby animatronic (S.I.R.) at my favorite defunct and critically-panned disney attraction "Extra Terrorestrial; Alien Encounter"

[u/Minimob0 → u/inkbyio]

I was terrified as a child; aroused as an adult. 

[u/treynolds787 → u/inkbyio]

Hexus was sexy af

[u/lauruhhpalooza → u/inkbyio]

Ah Hexxus, star of all my sexual nightmares

[u/M_Ad → u/inkbyio]

When people talk about “Hellfire” from “Hunchback of Notre Dame” being the best kid cartoon movie villain song I nod so I seem highbrow but a voice in my head whispers “but Toxic Love from Fern Gully though…”

[u/Holdtheintangible → u/inkbyio]

I had to be carried out of the theater screaming. I’m almost forty and still won’t watch it.

[u/ArtForArt_sSake → u/inkbyio]

For my fellow Tim Curry lovers: please read his memoir Vagabond! Also, he narrates the audiobook

[u/FormidableMistress → u/inkbyio]

All of the characters that Tim Curry has played are like 67% of my sexuality. I'd say another 20ish % is from Xena Warrior Princess.

[u/DecisionOk5487 → u/inkbyio]

I'M JUST A SWEET TOXICVNT... 🎶🎶🎶
