Every story has a moral, but these weren't intended.
Rules
1. Include a movie poster of the film for which you are giving a Wrong Takeaway. Use an external image link if possible instead of uploading to the instance. It saves space for others. (I use catbox.moe, personally.)
2. Post your Wrong Takeaway as the title.
3. Anything additional, put in the Text box.
Of all the people I know who watched this movie, they either remembered the Goblin King Bulge™ OR the story, but never both.
You're right, in general. But I've known plenty that would joke about that, and still love the movie for its story and balance of dark and light.
It was one of the first Jim Henson movies I've ever seen, and the line "You have no power over me" still gives me goosebumps every time I rewatch it. I can't quite put my finger on it, but most of Henson's movies have an unique charm to them and these puppets have so much personality in them that you can almost forget they're controlled by puppeteers. It's sad that most movies nowadays rely heavily on CGI and digital extra effects when practical effects can feel so much more "real".
