Depicts the lost innocence of youth. I remember my older son wishing at age 9, that “Toon Town” could be real. Once they realize the sad limits of reality, there is no going back.
Rosebud was never so remarkable in the old days, but I like the idea of her being a magical, mythical creature. With a little bit of BB’s irreverence. Turning antlers into balloons and farting stardust as you float away. Oliver was always one of my favorite characters. He is an evil genius, a civil rights activist, and a philosopher all rolled into one.
