The glassy stare. The slowly moving mouth. And the voice – dear god, the voice. It's no wonder there are so many creepy stories about Teddy Ruxpin. For children of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-most-nostalgia-inducing-_80s-toys/brian-gilmore" target="_blank">'80s</a>,&nbsp;Teddy Ruxpin horror stories are a dime a dozen.

How did it ever become the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/popular-christmas-toys-2016-12" target="_blank">best-selling toy</a> of 1985 and 1986?Sure, Teddy Ruxpin looks innocent. He's a shirt-clad bear equipped with a tape deck; just pop in a proprietary cassette, and he'll tell you stories and sing songs. Call it the uncanny valley or blame it on children's overactive imaginations – that bear is up to no good.There's just something unnerving about machines covered in fake fur.

Ah, the &#39;90s.

This list of the most tragic and <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/saddest-deaths-ever/mwahahahaha?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">saddest deaths</a> in kids movies will have you tearing up in no time. These traumatizing movie deaths made a whole generation of children sob and spend their adulthoods trying to sort through their feelings.The fact that these movies were aimed at children or teens did not spare the lives of these poor characters: Mufasa, Artax, Littlefoot's Mother, R.I.P.As a kid, you rarely saw it coming. Even watching some of these movies as adults can still cause grown men to cry. They truly are some of <a href="/crowdranked-list/top-tearjerker-movies-that-make-men-cry">the top tearjerker movies</a>. Who could ever forget poor Simba's face when he realized that Mufasa died? Or the sad scene in My Girl when a young Anna Chlumsky (Vada) cried over the coffin of her <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/celebrity-bffs/celeb-stalker?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best friend</a>, Thomas? The characters on this list can bring you back to these sad scenes in <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/the-best-childrens-and-kids-movies-on-netflix-instant/polkadotking">kid's movies</a>. There are many sad Disney movies, both cartoon and live action. The saddest scenes in children's movies were either caused by the death of characters that you, as the audience, had grown to love (like Dumbledore) or that other people in the movie loved. For example, the death of Ellie Fredricksen in Up is one of the saddest movie deaths--not necessarily because people cared about Ellie (she was only briefly in the beginning of the movie) but because people could see how much Carl loved her. The deaths of these characters made for sad family movies that were loved by kids and adults alike.

There was a time, not too long ago, when the children of the world would hastily awaken from their Saturday morning slumber and run to the closest television. You couldn&#39;t stop them, nor would you want to, and it was all due to the fact that Saturday morning cartoons were amazing. Ask any generation about those toons, and you&#39;re bound to hear tales of nostalgia regarding <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-animated-series-ever-made" target="_blank">animated</a> ducks, Snorks, Smurfs, and everything else in between.

Sadly, the Saturday morning cartoon of yesteryear is no longer. Kids can stream whatever they want whenever they want, so while the activity may be gone, the content isn&#39;t. Looking back over the Saturday morning cartoons that entertained millions of children, there are tons of interesting details and fun facts you probably didn&#39;t know about them. After all, we were kids when we enjoyed them the most, so many of the best details about them slipped by unnoticed.

This list highlights some of the more fascinating details most people didn&#39;t know about their favorite Saturday morning cartoons. Take a look down below, and when you find something you didn&#39;t already know, be sure to give it a vote to see which detail rises to the top!

Children&#39;s television is supposed to be full of innocent and inoffensive material,&nbsp;and restrictions are put in place to regulate what children can see. In spite of these directives,&nbsp;there are plenty of kids&#39; show <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/kids-movies-that-caused-controversies/mike-mcgranaghan" target="_blank">controversies</a> out there. Whether the drama happens on screen or behind the scenes, many of your <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-90s-kids-shows/ranker-tv" target="_blank">childhood favorites</a> - or your own children&#39;s go-to programs - have courted scandal. These controversies range from perceived sexual innuendos to supposedly politically incorrect jokes, and some even allegedly made viewers feel ill.&nbsp;

The issue of censorship often proves a double-edged sword, as different shows have been accused of leaving inappropriate&nbsp;content in that should have been removed, while cutting things out that some felt should have been left in. Obviously, where young and impressionable minds are involved, oversensitivity abounds. Regardless, these shows caused quite a stir.

Top classic video games from the early years of gaming. This list contains the best games released on any system (arcade, home consoles, portable devices) from the 1960s through the year 2000 (which for this list would be considered the start of the &quot;modern era&quot; of gaming.) This includes all the essential games from the era of the arcade, as well as the original 8-bit consoles and their 16-bit follow-ups.Many of the retro games on this list have remained extremely popular to this present day, and are often still played by passionate fans on preserved consoles or on computers via emulator software. Some of these games are part of ongoing franchises that have remained vital to this day, such as the classic &quot;Mario Bros.&quot; games, &quot;<a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/a-timeline-of-the-legend-of-zelda-chronology/stephanroget?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Legend of Zelda</a>&quot; titles and <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/all-fighting-games-list/reference?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">fighting games</a> like &quot;Mortal Kombat.&quot;Experimental video games have been around since the 1950s, but it was two game breakthroughs in the early 1970s that really brought games more mainstream attention. &quot;Spacewar!,&quot; released in 1961, became popular enough to generate about 1500 individual arcade machines, but was so complicated to learn that it failed to really develop mass appeal. The same was not true of 1972's &quot;Pong,&quot; from the same creators, that recreated table tennis for arcades and eventually sold nearly 20,000 machines.
