I remember my dad teaching me what they meant by “no animals were harmed in the making of this ____” while watching the credits to the movie when it first came out. And how that could be possible with what I was seeing 😂
I read the book and then my friend invited me over to watch it. Its wild how things have changed since then. It makes me grateful i grew up during that time
due to the fact I had got the DVD of this movie for Christmas after it came out and watching it repeatedly, I caught on to the fact that he didn't eat all 10 because I counted each one that he did as they named it. this movie kept me entertained as a kid
@@ShadowMage- i had the dvd as a kid too!! i remember they had a behind the scenes on how the worms were made and how they made them actually edible and not gross for the kids 😭
I wondered why the movie was familiar, then I remembered having to read the book for school when I was a kid (we watched the movie shortly after ) Thanks for bringing up some memories I thought I'd forgot!
as a yo gabba gabba stan i also must mention mark mothersbaugh was a constant guest on there and he did those cutsey little drawings! his band performed on the show once too & in the reboot he appears for an episode :)
I DO actually remember this movie, but I'd only seen it once when I was like 11 or 12 at a friend's house as we were getting ready to go to bed. The whole eating worms thing DEFINITELY freaked me out a bit back then, but I think now I can appreciate a lot more of this movie
Yeah, I think it depends on where you live. I lived far from all the schools I went to that also wasn't the best place for little kids to bike to school, so I didn't. Most of the kids I knew in my neighborhood had to just take the bus.
trust me, I REMEMBER 🙏 I used to borrow this dvd from my local library tons of times when I was young and actually rewatched it not too long ago, it's amazing how much I'd retained from those previous viewings. one thing that's stuck with me for years is the bright red worm... eugh
Holy crap I remember this film. I used to watch this a lot when I was a little kid. To be honest, I thought this one was like lost to the ages, but you just awakened a dormant memory for me, dude.
I have been looking for this movie in my house for the past 2 months. I used to watch it all the tme. My pops had to find another copy after the first one stopped working
oh my god i was just thinking abt this movie. i’ve literally never heard anyone talk abt it! i watched it for the first time when i was like 12 (so 8 years ago), got the dvd at a thrift store that same year, then never saw it again all this time. i can’t even tell u the plot, all i remember is absolutely loving this movie for some reason. it held the same feeling as the little rascals for me
I still have the book version of this, republished after the movie was made. It included photos from the movie. I never actually watched the movie though. I thought the book was pretty fun though, even though it was really short
I actually remember this movie VERY WELL, it scarred me for years!! I already had problems with eating a lot of food because of texture, but after being shown this movie IN SCHOOL BEFORE LUNCH? Let's just say I could never forget this movie
Ok no joke but this was one of my favorite movies as a kid I watched this movie from hell and back, I believe it was one of the titles I rented the most from Family Video, truly one of my favorite childhood movies. Also fun fact apparently this movie had a nightmarish production as a film adaptation of the book was first conceived in 1996 with Universal and Imagine Entertainment producing with John August who later go on to writer another children’s book adaptation Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in what was his first paid screenwriting job, and So I Married an Axe Murderer director Thomas Schlamme directing But after four drafts August and Schlamme didn’t really get along, so Bob Dolman was brought on for rewrites Universal then put the film in turnaround and Paramount and Nickelodeon Movies bought the film from them. With Schlamme being replaced with Sleepover director Joe Nussbaum but for whatever reason Nickelodeon Movies dropped the film and it remained in development hell for a few more years until finally Walden Media came in to produce and finance the film with New Line Cinema, and Bob Dolman just decided to direct the film as well.
I really love the ending too! I forgot that was the ending and it's so sweet for a kids movie. It's not out of nowhere either and makes sense that the bully became a friend in the end.
If you ever get the time to, read the book it really does go differently. Though this movie seems ok too makes sense if they couldn't fit that all into movie length without cutting some things
I never saw this movie, but I instantly remembered seeing commercials for it when I was a wee lad in late elementary school. I guess it’s hard for me to forget that I’ve at least heard of a movie lmao.
They made us read the class set in 3rd grade and I still don't know why. Honestly I miss the kid's gross out era. It got little me interested in biology.
I haven't read the book in a while, just remembered it being different from the book. This was a nice nostalgia trip as I read the book for 4th grade and the class later watched the movie when we were done.
I love those movies that operate entirely on kid logic. The stakes are astronomically small and yet it's treated like a life or death situation. Like the moment when Billy contemplates running away from home because of this worms thing and it's played completely straight.
We read How To Eat Fried Worms as a class in elementary school. We all had to do book reports on it and everything. I think we even made those pudding dirt cups with gummy worms as an activity. I think the movie came out the year before we read it. I was 8 when it came out and 9 when we read it. We watched the movie in class. All of us in our class loved the book and the movie because it was gross and we were 9 lol. I was fascinated by the different way each worm was prepared, the book low key made them sound good 😂😅. This was a great watch
I remember seeing this movie (or parts of it) as a kid and I was upset it didn't match up with the book. Though, the only scene in the book I clearly remember is the main kid almost missing the deadline to eat a worm one day, so he has to run outside and dig up a live one and eat it raw. wild.
Also one thing from the book I remember is that the deadline I thing was at midnight and Billy hadn’t eaten a worm that day because he had to go somewhere or something idk so he took like a megaphone I think and in the middle of the night he shouted “HERE IS THE EATING OF THE TENTH WORM” and he woke up the whole neighborhood and got grounded
Bro your dc universe knowledge knows no bounds, I also see you like the NBA as well. I loved the flash TV show up until when wally and iris get married and their kid from the future trunks their way into the series and I legit had to check out
We had a DVD rental store until 2007 so I always went everyday for new movies until they shut down, I remember being a HUGE josh hutcherson fan! I would watch anything with him so when Journey to the center of the earth with him and Brandon Fraser came out in 2008. I was so happy, sadly it all went downhill after that.
11:50 Don’t sleep on Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh. Beyond being composers of Rugrats, they’re legitimate music icons as they’re the founding members of the legendary new wave rock band Devo. And those of us who grew up with Disney Channel in the 2000s would’ve known about them indirectly because Devo would collaborate with Disney to make a kid-friendly version of their own group known as “Devo 2.0”.
I remember this movie playing on repeat in my house because of my brother and goddddd do i hate this movie to this day the entire concept iust makes me feel sick 😭
3:12 It depends how close you live to the school. Back in High School, I walked to school or rode my bike when I missed the bus. It was a quarter mile away so it wasn't bad.
PSA Mark Mothersbaugh was a co-founder of the legendary band Devo In the 90s he became known for stuff like frosty the snowman and Rugrats Musical legend
3:05 It's normal if you lucky enough to live in those nicer suburban neighborhoods that's safe and has a school next to or inside the neighborhood. My neighborhood was pretty safe, but all the schools I went to were far, and riding a bike from my house to my school would take a long time AND be dangerous with how many cars you'd have to deal with. The closest school I went to was two miles away and didn't even have a sidewalk for most of the way there, so you either had to pedal through the grass or risk riding your tiny bike a road with a speed limit of 40 mph. 😭
Actually I remember the book very well because I read it in 5th grade with the same teacher who was my 3rd grade teacher too. Wild story there, but I remember reading it because students who behaved and did the assignments were able to have a treat once we finished the book. We got a brownie mud desserts with gummy worms. Best day in the whole 5th grade.
I watched this movie way too much as a kid, a lot of movies I was so into as a kid, a lot I can still enjoy now as an adult, I was and am still very much of a tomboy and this movie feels specifically targeted to boys, but I loved it and I’m probably not the only girl who did, but yea this is a just a good movie really, good cast, keeps your interest, some good or at least memorable music, one thing about this movie is how many worms Billy actually ate, literally every time I get the end where he’s like “I only ate 9”, I would count and then loose track cuz I was trying to go over everything in the movie, I always thought he did in fact eat 10, cuz Adam made 2 when boiler head ate the original, but he really didn’t I guess, whatever still one of my favorite movies form my childhood

I actually vividly remember watching this film back when I was in elementary school.
Things were simpler back in the early 2010s.
I don’t vividly remember it but seeing the thumbnail it gave me a wave of memory coming back to me. Especially with him holding the worm like that
kids movies then: boy makes friends by eating worms
kids movies now: *noting but singing* or figuring out how to kiss
I read the book and then my friend invited me over to watch it. Its wild how things have changed since then. It makes me grateful i grew up during that time

Also as someone who was homeschooled grades 1-12 I appreciate the explanation at 3:56
I remember this movie because I did a project on the book in Kindergarten. The song "Jungle Boogie" lives rent free in my head because of this movie.
This literally made my day🩵haven’t thought of this movie in a while and it out a smile on my face😁

The champ is back with another banger and I KNOW BANGERS
I loved this movie as a kid
The kid who voiced Nemo was in my favorite show Weed best character in the whole show shout out to Shane
I read the book in elementary it was pretty good for what I remember

Such a great children's film, up there with the sandlot
Feels like they don't movies like these anymore
@Mario-by2ci they don't. I noticed that
I remember seeing a lot of ads for it
I used to borrow this movie from the library. I remember the DVD extra's where they showed how they created each worm dish.
This was one of my favourite movies growing up. I was always shocked when I brought it up no one remembers it lol. Great video!
The thing is he did eat 10 worms, one was two in one. That pissed me off as a kid. Everything else is good. I even read the book.
This actually unlocked a memory for me, always thought this movie was some weird fever dream I had as a kid or something 😭🙏
0:41 Apparently she was famous for a few Pepsi ads a decade before this film.

I read the novel several times as a kid but never saw the movie. Maybe I'll check it out cuz i really enjoyed the book
Only thing i know about this franchise is that the book was used in my school's AR program as an example for the searchbar
I never saw this movie, but I instantly remembered seeing commercials for it when I was a wee lad in late elementary school. I guess it’s hard for me to forget that I’ve at least heard of a movie lmao.
I showed this movie to my youngest siblings this summer. We watched it three times. I cried.
I'm Nobody and I saw this movie again last year. Easy 8/10 just a fun weird lil trip as an adult
Iconic this is like a memory that burned into my brain lik arthur and the invisibles
Do the moive with the magic lamp and kid wishes all adults disappeared. Classic moive
Yes, ive been waiting for a review on how to eat fried worms
this movie + shorts. idk why but the 2000s marketing back then rly had me thinking i was their 11 year old white boy target audience
