Here is a concise summary of the dark theories behind 8 cartoons that may "ruin your childhood":
1. **Pokémon**:
* Main character never recovered from a bicycle accident and imagined the Pokémon world while in a coma.
* The recurring nurse represents the real world intruding on his dreams.
2. **Rugrats**:
* Angelica is the only real child; the other babies are her imaginary friends due to her lonely childhood.
* Each character represents a different aspect of her psyche or a family member who passed away.
3. **Efe Jr (or similar unnamed show)**:
* Characters are dead, trapped in purgatory, with no adults present.
* Blue tongues are a hint at the characters' deceased state (body discoloration after death).
4. **Garfield**:
* Garfield is a homeless, starving cat who imagines his owner Jon and their life together.
* The comic is a product of his hallucinations before death.
5. **Hello Kitty**:
* Created by a mother who made a pact with the devil to save her daughter with oral cancer.
* Hello Kitty's mouthlessness is a result of the devil's demand.
6. **The Fairly OddParents**:
* Main character is a schizophrenic child, and the fairy godparents are manifestations of his medication (e.g., Cosmo = speed, Wanda = Prozac).
7. **Minions**:
* Allegedly based on Jewish children kidnapped by Nazi scientists for experiments.
* The movie is a supposed subliminal message to accept Nazism.
8. **The Smurfs**:
* Creator made a pact with the devil for success, dedicating the series to evil.
* Characters and elements (e.g., leader's red clothing, 7 main Smurfs representing the 7 deadly sins, Gargamel as a priest hunting "demons") hint at this dark origin.
