so.... I tortured myself by watching Barney's Great Adventure after
@D'Snowth brought it up (and out of my own curiousness, I wanted to see the full thing because I only saw like the beginning on TV when I was a kid; I definitely can see why I tuned out. Never liked Barney as a kid either).
Horrible. Even for a kid's movie, it was just super cheesey and poorly acted and just felt like one big episode stretched out.
But, I will give the movie props for the 4th wall breaker at the beginning with the screen black. I can imagine how cool that must have been for the kids that saw it in theaters.
