Sleepytime makes me cry every time.
The symbolism surrounding concepts of growing up, facing the future (or current) death of one's mom / parent... the simple joys and quiet moments between parents and their kids and the orchestral arrangement and performance of Gustav Holst's masterpiece classic suite "The Planets" is a moment of devastatingly bittersweet television perfection captured in a 7-minute episode of a children's cartoon.
I'll be honest, almost every episode has me tearing up in one way or another.
I feel like Alan from Cinema Therapy lol.
One time as I was driving, a song started on the radio and I started crying but I didn't know why. Then I realized it was "The Planets", and I was thinking of Sleepytime.
Chili's sister can't have kids... I want to die...
Why is this show so good?
