Omigosh. lolol.
Faves: #9 and #4. Henny Penny was right, but did she have to be so self-righteous about it? Hon. mention goes to Barney on Fire, just on general principles.
(#3 is almost true, except – spoiler! – it’s Babar’s mother who gets killed. And on a personal note, #10 happened to my sisters and me when we were small, except instead of a farm is was a mass of dead leaves. We had hornets in our sock and underwear, and yes, we ran home pretty fast.)
