The cemetery that Max gets his shoes stolen is called Marblehead Cemetery in Marblehead, Massachusetts about 10 minutes south of Salem. It is the most beautiful cemetery. It over looks the town and has little gazebo you can sit at. I highly recommend checking it out.

Watching it now as an adult I love how they took the adults out. A lot of times we wonder why the kids have to handle it and why didn't they go to an adult. This shows them going to adults at least twice and why that didn't get them help. It was really well done.

@lindseylandeck7457 Жыл бұрын

For #7 He actually did called her the word that rhymes with witch. I remembered watching this movie on TV when I was 15 or 16. I believe It was the television debuted on ABC at the time in October 1996. Most likely they had 2 takes of that scene and it was know back then for networks to so-call let things like that slip through the cracks like in Zanthura when it aired on Cartoon Network where the kid told the robot to "Get me a juice box biyatch". That was a one time deal on that one. Every time it replayed, they censored it with silence.

@daniellemusella1594 Жыл бұрын

I had a different interpretation of the sisters' costumes: 1] Winnie's dress is the most elaborately-decorated, signifying her status as the oldest/leader of their group. 2] Mary's dress looks more like something a servant would wear, which is the main function of her relationship with Winnie. 3] The symbolism in Sarah's dress lies in its main color. That particular shade of pink evokes a teenager's first blush of love, which she seems to ALWAYS be in. (9/29/2022)

@joshfacio9379 Жыл бұрын

Thats EXACTLY what ive always thought! To me Winnie's emerald green dress always showed as high status and regal. The other 2 to me always looked like a surf like as in a servant. And a bar wench type or someone who was in love with beijg in love.
