When I was a kid, my parents took me with them to see a movie called "Breakfast At Tiffany's". When I heard them saying it's name, I thought they were saying "Breakfast Activities". It didn't turn out to be a very good movie for a kid to watch, and I didn't get much out of it. I thought it would probably have been better if it HAD been "Breakfast Activities"

As a young child I was of the belief that, because of his appearance (which I considered to be very strange and unnatural-looking), Christopher Walken was not a real person, but instead was some sort of robot-Muppet.

When they write Disney on the screen in 'Disney Script' I thought the D looked like a weird G and it wasnt for years that I finally saw the "D". I always thought it odd that they would be Gisney films....

I used to believe that in movies where they showed a character as a child, the movie producers had to wait until that child grew up before they could finish making the movie so that it would be the same actor. I thought there had to be a better way of doing it!

when i was 4, i watched the Dr. Seuss movie "Daisy Head Maizy" the girl in the story had a daisy on her head, so when i was done watching it, i wanted a daisy on my head too! so i took my moms miracle grow plant fertalizer, and squeezed the whole bottle on the top of my head! it just turned my hair green... it took 4 days for it to come out...

I figured out how women got pregnant from the movie "Grease" when I was six or seven years old. When Rizzo and her boyfriend are in the car about to have sex (I didn't know what they were about to do, of course), and the condom breaks, I thought it was a plastic ring, like the kind you get from cereal boxes, that they used as a symbol of their relationship. From that point on, I thought that if a piece of jewellery that a guy gives you breaks, you get pregnant.

The way I figured out she was pregnant was because she says she "skipped a period". Naturally, I thought she skipped a period at school, and thought, "Well, I'd skip gym if I was pregnant." I'd probably seen the movie 10 times before I was old enough to realize what was actually going on.

My mum told me Mel Gibsons real name was Melanie (when i questioned it she said it could be a boys name too). Years later i had quite an irate arguement in my whole biology class trying to convince everyone thta this was true!

Chloe

I used to believe that "lukewarm water" was warmed by luke skywalker. i guess i watched a little too much starwars.

i used to think that "the king and i" was a musical based around the life of priscilla presley

When I was little, I used to love the Wizard of Oz. My favorite part was when they would sing "Cosby, Cosby, Cosby, Cosby, Cosby..... Because of the wonderful things he does!" How great it was that the munchkins loved the Cosby Show just much as I did!

I thought Pinnochio was lucky to have such a cool friend;
"Jimmy the Cricket"
Now it sounds like a gangster name!

When I would watch The Wizard of Oz I was so involved in the story and characters that I took the background sets for granted. I knew there wasn't really an Oz I suppose, but I just never thought about the settings not being real in some way. From about the age of 12 until I was around 16, I had managed to miss the movie every time it was on tv. The night I caught it again my boyfriend was there, and I remember just staring at the screen during the poppy field scene and saying "it's not real!" He laughed and asked me, "what's not real?" and I said "the sets are painted and they aren't real!"
He thought I was crazy not having realized before that the movie was done in a studio, I was broken hearted. I think that night, the last of my "childhood" illusions were shattered!

I used to believe that when I would watch "Pochahontas" that during the Colors of the Wind song, it would flood. So I always fast forwarded through that part. I think it might have been because it did flood at my house one time when I was watching it, but that's really the only explination I have...oh well.

Xornia

I refused to watch the film "Independence Day" for years as I believed it was a film about Jesus so it would be really boring. No, I don't know why either.

Oliver Worley

I thought Jedi fought with Life Savers... I never questioned it either!

Anon

I used to think Star Wars wis Democrat vs. Republican because they would talk about the Republic.

A kid that lived near me was convinced that actors in action films were all in fact just wax dummies. We later discovered that his mother had informed him that the melting German agents at the climax of Raiders Of The Lost Ark were wax dummies, and he had taken this to mean that all people in films were made of wax!

My five year old niece was horribly sad when her parents announced that they were moving to Kansas because she was really going to miss the colors. She had seen the Wizard of Oz for the first time a few months before and was under the impression that Kansas was in black-and-white!

When I was small (4 or 5) I believed that the monsters in the Japanese monster flicks were as tall as buildings and that there were a bunch of operators within the monster to operate its movement.

I thought for a while when I was younger that my brother Jason was Jason from Friday the 13th because they had the same name.
