Revisiting the Classic Film 'Harry and the Hendersons': A Nostalgic Trip

If you're a fan of cryptids and classic films, then you're in for a treat. A recent YouTube video from the channel "Hey, Did You See This One?" takes a deep dive into the 1987 movie "Harry and the Hendersons." The video, which features guest Alex GW, explores the film's plot, history, and cultural impact. "Harry and the Hendersons" tells the story of the Henderson family, who encounter a Bigfoot-like creature while on a camping trip outside of Seattle. They bring him home and soon discover that he is a gentle giant, leading to hilarious and heartwarming moments. Alex GW chose this movie for the channel's "Crazy Cryptids" month, as he had never seen it before and was curious about the story. The video's hosts share their own memories of the film, including its cultural impact and the possibility of a resurgence in popularity. The video also touches on the history of the film, including its release in 1987 and the fact that it was one of John Lithgow's many projects that year. The film was a modest success at the box office and has since become a cult classic. I found the video's discussion of the creature's portrayal in the film to be particularly interesting. While the film refers to the creature as "Harry," the hosts note that the creature is never given a specific name or species. This leaves the door open for interpretation and allows viewers to draw their own conclusions about the creature's true identity. Overall, the video is a fun and informative look at a classic film that has stood the test of time. Whether you're a fan of cryptids, classic movies, or just enjoy a good discussion, this video is definitely worth a watch. So grab some popcorn, settle in, and enjoy the journey into the world of "Harry and the Hendersons."
