Whether from misunderstood lines, a lack of plot comprehension, or even something as dumb as a low quality TV making something hard to make out, what are some odd or silly things you believed about certain films or films in general when you were very young?

I had a friend that thought they would build bridges twice. The first time they would put weight on it until it collapsed then rebuild it again with how much the bridge could hold signs. He is now general manager of the 49ers

how did people understand videogame art with that shit resolution anyway?
it seems like 95% was just your brain trying to fill all the missing details. must be exhausting playing like that

A lot of the time games came with very detailed concept art (pic related) to help people grasp what the fuck they were looking at

Okay, this is a weird one...
>Tom and Jerry: the movie (before they were remaking every film in existence with Tom and Jerry shoehorned in)
>there's this subplot where Tom and Jerry are helping this random girl track down her missing father, who's basically Indiana Jones
>also Tom and Jerry talk. It's weird.
>anyway, this little girl is escaping her house, to go somewhere in the mountains where her dad supposedly is
>Tom and Jerry are all "no it's too far away"
>Jerry says something along the lines of "It's past Cleveland!"
>seven-year-old me figures, "oh, it's a cartoon, so Cleveland must be some cartoon place"
>spend a couple years wholeheartedly believing that Cleveland doesn't exist

Nothing's really coming to mind except I used to think old Disney movies were newer than they were.
How old a movie was didn't really register with me so it blew me away that like Aristocats was from the 70s

CRTs smoothed out the pixelyness which made the intended shapes/lines a bit more distinct/easier for your brain to interpret
