Some beloved children's books from the '80s and '90s may no longer align with current standards of acceptability. Themes in classic novels like "The Indian in the Cupboard" and "Charlie & the Chocolate Factory" may be seen as problematic today. While still beloved, books like "Where the Wild Things Are" and "The Giving Tree" now face criticism for outdated themes and portrayals.

The 1980s and 1990s were a great time to be a kid, but some of the most popular children's books during these decades haven't aged so well. Over the years, ideas about what is or is not acceptable changed. In days past, readers might not have batted an eye at certain concepts and themes in a kid's story. Today, these same books may inspire cries of outrage or, at the very least, a raised eyebrow. It doesn't necessarily mean that the children's books of the 80s and 90s are bad.

VFX artists have been blown away by the quality of the effects seen in the 1995 fantasy film The Indian in the Cupboard. The film follows a young boy named Omri who discovers that toys he puts in his cupboard come to life, including a Native American figurine named Little Bear. The film uses many detailed VFX in order to bring the movie to life.

Now, VFX artists featured on Corridor Crew have reacted to the VFX of The Indian in the Cupboard, praising them for their level of detail.

The section of the video about the film starts at 13:39, with the artists floored by the level of quality in a shot where Little Bear jumps into Omri's hand. Throughout this segment of the video, they continue to analyze how the film was made to make it looks like toys had come to life in the cupboard, impressed by how it was done.

Events take a dark turn for a small town school teacher, played by “The Americans'” Keri Russell, in the first teaser trailer for horror movie “Antlers,” produced by Guillermo del Toro.

The footage, unveiled Tuesday, centers on a young boy (Jeremy T. Thomas) reading from a frightening short story he’s written as Russell listens. The trailer includes images of a cabin with blood-splattered floors, otherworldly creatures and Russell screaming inside her car.

“Once, there were three bears that lived in a dark, wet cave up above a small town,” Thomas says. “Every day, Little Bear went to school, and at night he would come home and eat dinner. But, one day, Little Bear came home and Big Bear and Baby Bear were different. Big Bear got sick, and his insides turned black. Big Bear has become more angrier and meaner, because they had no food, no meat.”

“But they had each other,...

You can see from the look on Keri Russell’s face, the story she’s hearing from one of her students is no ordinary fairy tale.

In “Antlers,” an upcoming horror and fantasy film from director Scott Cooper and producer Guillermo Del Toro, Russell plays a teacher in a small town in Oregon who along with her brother (Jesse Plemons), the town’s sheriff, discovers that a young boy is harboring a dangerous secret with frightening consequences.

“Once, there were three bears that lived in a dark, unlit cave up above a small town. Every day, Little Bear went to school, and at night he would come home and eat dinner,” the boy played by Jeremy T. Thomas narrates. “But one day, Little Bear came home, and Big Bear and Baby Bear were different. Big Bear got sick, and his insides turned black. Big Bear has become more angrier and meaner,...

MaryAnn’s quick take… Sure, millions of Native people dead and ancient cultures destroyed, but who has to live with that? All the good soldiers who were just following orders, that’s who. Won’t someone think of the white man? I’m “biast” (pro): nothing

I’m “biast” (con): nothing

You know what the real white man’s burden is? Living with the guilt of the colonialism, oppression, and genocide you are party to. I mean, look at North America. Sure, millions of Native people dead and ancient cultures destroyed, but who has to live with that? All the good soldiers who were just following orders, that’s who. No one talks about that, do they? Won’t someone think of the white man?

Praise be: The unexpectedly delightful combination of Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg is back.

The hilarious duo is once again hitting the small screen for VH1’s Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party, and in honor of the upcoming season 2, they sat down with People Now for a round of Confess Sesh.

First up was the rapper’s weirdest food craving: peanut butter, pickles and potato chips on a sandwich. (For the record, Stewart, 76, thinks that sounds delicious.)

Up next, Stewart revealed what she would do if she were Beyoncé for the day.

“I would dance and sing and dress...

Toys can often play an important role in a film, sometimes becoming the star. This is our list of the 20 most famous toys in film.

Toys and movies have a unique and long-running relationship. In the beginning, toys were just props in movies. Somewhere along the line, someone figured out that toys could be used to help sell movies, and vice versa. Merchandising began, and children everywhere could find either the toys featured in their favorite movies or toy versions of things from their favorite movies on the shelves of their local toy stores. Some toys also graduated from being props to being characters. First animation, then stop-motion, puppetry, and later CGI helped to bring them alive on screen. More recently, movie studios have begun making movies based on toys.

Throughout all of this, one thing has remained consistent: the important role that toys have played in film. However, there...

You can call him “Little Bear” or “Little Vinny NuNu,” and you can also call him lucky to be alive.

Last week, a woman named Fawn Schneider brought the cub to the Orphaned Wildlife Center in Otisville, New York. The cub had been hit by a car and narrowly survived, but his mother was killed. The little guy was unconscious and unresponsive at first, but has proven to be a fighter. After constant care and monitoring by the Center’s veterinary staff, the cub has pulled through the worst of his multiple head and leg injuries.

As noted in a Facebook post,...

They say a dog is a man’s best friend, yet when Bryan Michael Stoller first began his career in the early 1970s hosting a Canadian children’s TV program called “Film Fun,” he never dreamed that 30 years later an irresistible little canine would be so connected to his career.

Teaching has always been important to the 50-year-old filmmaker, and if it had not been for his venture into directing, he says he surely would have would become an educator. “Film Fun” was a show in which a then-10-year-old Stoller, his sister Nancy and featured guests taught youngsters about the art of filmmaking with an emphasis on animation techniques. In 2003, he authored a title for the popular “Dummies” how-to series, “Filmmaking for Dummies,” and edited “Screenwriting for Dummies.”

However, it was his four-legged companion that revived his interest in filmmaking. Stoller...

With family films taking a bite out of the boxoffice, Bryan Michael Stoller hopes Little Bear, a 28-pound Queensland heeler, can follow in the paw prints of Marley, Marmaduke and the Beverly Hills Chihuahua.

Most movies starring a dog, like "Beethoven," use 10 or more look-alike animals. In Stoller's "First Dog," about a foster kid who returns the president's lost dog to the White House, Little Bear is the solo star. He did his own stunts and even barked for postproduction looping.

"I have a credit in the movie as his acting coach, not as a trainer," said Stoller, who directed, produced, wrote and edited the movie, which was made for less than $3 million and screens Tuesday night for the first time for distributors and backers.

As a movie, TV and commercials director and author of "Filmmaking for Dummies," Stoller first sniffed...
