May. 18th, 2006 09:04 amIn another turn-up for the books, I've been offered an interview for the Legal job, right when I thought I'd messed the whole thing up royally.
It's next Tuesday. Meh. I need to get my mum to alter those black trousers she gave me (they're about a foot too long) so I can look snazzy in my mini-tailcoat suit...
Still pondering what to do about the possible CPA job now that I've calmed down...
In other news, I decided to dig out my video of The Phantom Treehouse last night for some unfathomable reason, and discovered it was on the end of The Land Before Time (number 1 of 17 million - the original and best). This was the first film ever to make me cry. I was about 8 years old. And for some reason, it still does. I'm 24, for crying out loud! I'm not allowed to cry at a frelling Don Bluth animation!
So, anyway, I then discovered that Treehouse was actually after The Water Babies - the mad 1960s version with Christopher Tomlinson and half-animated - but I wasn't in the mood to cope with the gay seahorse, so I fast forwarded through that. I'd forgotten how bloody awful Treehouse is, but all the same, it was pleasantly nostalgic...
The outcome of this was that I started to remember another film from my childhood that may have been by the same people behind Treehouse, as it was also Australian and badly animated. All I remember was that there was a train, a little girl, and the train driver... and these two lines of dialogue:
Girl: (to random people somewhere in the plot) We're outlaws!
Driver: She means, heh, in-laws!
Which looks quite disturbing, but I think he was trying to explain that they weren't criminals. I think it also had a dragon in it, or some kind of monster. Damned if I can remember the bloody title, though. I used to watch it at my dad's, too, so the tape's probably long gone by now.
Any suggestions? I'm hoping![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
herringprincess might be able to help, as she seems to have been subjected to the same level of awful children's films as I was... (talking of which - I've still got your Tubby the Tuba video...)
Edit, 13.27: It turns out the other one may well have been The Steam-Driven Adventures of Riverboat Bill. Well, I was close with the train. I knew it involved lots of coal-shovelling...
Further edit, 13.42: ( Just in case you didn't believe me about the gay seahorse... )
