Not exactly as I remembered it...

Quick background and quick question, just for entertainment purposes...growing up I remembered watching an episode of the Gumby animation..."Grub Grabber Gumby", where he dreams he is hooked up to a feeding machine.  Anyway, its been decades since I last saw it and, on a lark, I watched the episode on Amazon.


Odd part is, my recollection had him being stuffed way bigger than was actually in the cartoon.  I mean, really big...but in watching the actual cartoon, he was fattened up, but hardly the same as I remembered from being a little kid.


Anyone else have a particularly vivid memory, only to find the actual clip, years later, wasn't quite like you remembered it?

Yes, from the movie "dumbo". I thought those clowns had water in their pants in that firemen act. But not. :( 
But in one scene a clown deflated his inflated suit. Why didn't I remember that then? :o

All the time. A while ago I posted here trying to refind a childhood clip with a space suit inflating from a sneeze, but upon reviewing I realized it didn't inflate at all. I also remembered Goofy's clothing inflation in 'Home Made Home' a LOT bigger than it actually was.

Lol, now I'm trying to refind Joey's shoe inflation from the Dennis the Menance animated series, probably gonna end up the same deal.

The sneeze astronaut inflation might be from a movie where a guy does sneeze in his suit, but in that same movie, i think it's the same scene too, his suit inflates when he keeps farting in it. But I don't remember the name of the movie.

the film you are referring to is RocketMan (1997).
