Most of us who had a good childhood remember it fondly. Who wouldn’t want to go back to the days when all you did was play outside and didn’t have a care in the world? That’s where childhood nostalgia bias comes from. We remember some things as incredible simply because we saw or experienced them when we were kids. Recently, one X account shared some props from movies they couldn’t stop thinking about even well into adulthood, and the post went viral. This prompted other users to share their favorite things from the movies they saw as children as well. Do you have a favorite prop featured in your childhood movie that wasn’t mentioned below? Let us know in the comments! Who knows if Star Wars would be such a cult franchise if they used simple swords instead of lightsabers? And Cast Away without Wilson? To this day, Tom Hanks claims that it’s the one thing his fans shout at him the most. Willy Wonka’s golden ticket, the Mockingjay pin in The Hunger Games – these props become symbolic not only in the movie but to fans as well. But other props might also be central to the movie’s plot. Sometimes, it’s even in the title of the movie itself, like the One Ring in The Lord of the Rings or the Ark of the Covenant in Raiders of the Lost Ark. In the case of Cast Away, a prop can even become a character in the film, even if it is an inanimate object. There are places where fans can see and interact with props, like museums, restaurants, or theme parks. And in some cases, props are given a new purpose when they’re given away by charitable organizations. Follow Bored Panda on Google News! Follow us on Flipboard.com/@boredpanda!
