The answer is of course no because ruining your actual childhood would require new knowledge about your real life. For example, the man you call Grandpa is actually the man who killed your real grandfather and held your grandmother captive until she had Stockholm syndrome: childhood ruined!
So let's stop saying someone or something "ruined my childhood," unless it's the revelation of a dark family secret.

No. It's just a movie in the end.

In my childhood I thought movies could ruin my childhood. Your post just ruined my childhood.

Yeah I never understood that. How does a bad remake ruin your childhood? The original still exists. You can easily just forget the remake ever happened.

Yes, but I tend to think those who claim this are just over-reacting.

Also, as your childhood is in the past, it is not possible to ruin it. At worst it could ruin your adulthood, but I like to think that nobody takes movies that seriously.
Besides... if a remake is lame, surely it can only reinforce your passion for the earlier version?

Was I angry with it? Yeah, but I knew I had the original 2 at home and I could just go back and watch those. |

Perhaps some people have had childhoods so dismal that the original movie was the one bright thing they could cling to, and the remake tarnished that memory, in that whenever they watch the original, they will be haunted by the thought of the hideous remake.

I don't need movies to ruin my childhood. It was already ruined 30ish years ago...when I was a child. But a remake can make you feel sad when you think about how a movie made you feel a long time ago. Maybe sad isn't the right word. Disappointed is better.
