I think I even know the day I saw it the first time. This had not come to mind since I was a child, but I remembered that my grandmother gave that VHS tape to me on Valentine’s Day. I remembered associating the purple-pinkish color of the vacuum on the cover with that because of the holiday. And given landmark events in my family, it had to have been 1995. So V-day 1995 it must’ve been. I then, out of boredom and curiosity, found a list of VHS releases and videos from YouTube of the openings. The “V2” 1994 reissue put out in November’s commercials felt very familiar, so that was the VHC I had a copy of. The memories I have of watching that tape at her house have a specific range of time, all being when I was age 5. So this movie takes me way back! I’d only seen it probably five times or less after that point until recently, though two of those were as an adult.
