It's my third or fourth time seeing it. This version lacked any sort of background music, so I put the theme from Moon Patrol on loop. The Man in the Moon getting the rocket ship lodged in his eye is the first visual memory of motion pictures.

Anyway, it never dawned on me how much mushrooms are a part of fantasy. Immediately, I associate them with Super Mario. Then there's Alice in Wonderland -- the source of inspiration for Mario's 'shrooms. But it got me thinking how they always seem to crop up in fantasy stories. Even looking past the hallucinogenic qualities, mushrooms seem to have a symbolic value as nature's oddities. And forests of giant mushrooms seem to be a staple of old fantasy stories. Like, when you see mushrooms, you know that things are getting weird.
