The Gremlins in the theater in <a href=\"https://href.li/?https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0087363/\" target=\"_blank\">Gremlins (1984)</a> are watching such a re-release, I saw Bambi in Cooperstown, NY as a kindergartner or so. With the rise of VHS and then the late 80s\u201390s &ldquo;Disney Renaissance&rdquo; of new &ldquo;classics&rdquo; Disney carried over these limited windows of availability, even if the &ldquo;once in a childhood&rdquo; reasoning no longer applied.</p>", "thumbnail_url": "https://kontextmaschine.com/media/c605f208f4022d9104d9f696c71169ee8f384eb2_4b3fce066b5c.jpg", "thumbnail_width": 640, "thumbnail_height": 418}
