  I MADE A MISTAKE: I said that when she runs through the hall of the school, she runs by pictures of men and women in lab coats. That is incorrect. The photos are of previous nurses and mail carriers. I’ll make sure to up the prescription on my glasses before the next movie. Does that change my theory? Definitely less evidence now but not totally invalidated yet IMO. I&apos;ve since trimmed that line out of the video to stop spreading MISINFORMATION 🤭<br><br>Sources:<br>Nerdtropolis Interview: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8JLDlyBAxk">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8JLDlyBAxk</a><br>Bloody Disgusting Interview: <a href="https://bloody-disgusting.com/interviews/3930628/casper-kelly-buddy-interview/">https://bloody-disgusting.com/interviews/3930628/casper-kelly-buddy-interview/</a><br><br>Various Tracks by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio - <a href="https://whitebataudio.com/">https://whitebataudio.com/</a>

  The fact that when she&apos;s running through the school zippy and mr mailbox are still sentient meaning that it&apos;s technically not earth

  Funfact! For whatever reason parents thought this was a children’s movie!

  Calling it. &nbsp;Not a sequel but a prequel. &nbsp;Named buddies. &nbsp;It&apos;s about how Buddy got jealous of the star power of bobby and kills him, so HE can be the star and get all the LOVE he NEEDS, and then sends the sun power yellow unicorn into the darkness of the well to keep him under control. &nbsp;And force the old yellow guy to use what is left of his magic to create all the props for the buddy show

  Something I think you kind of missed, the unicorn at the bottom of the well is chained up to the wall, and he is Benny, the third of the unicorns on the mural at the end. Buddy seems to be forcing Benny to do create things for him.

  My guess is that Josh was the oldest of the group, which would explain his disinterest in dancing with the rest of the group, almost as if he&apos;s grown out of Buddy and his antics. It&apos;s possible that, as the kids age, Buddy &quot;takes care&quot; of them and tells the other kids that they went to Diamond City as a cover, but this was the first time he slipped by poorly hiding evidence of the truth. Kind of like how the kid actors of Barney would be replaced once they aged out of the role.

  No way Buddy&apos;s dead. Not as long as his show keeps going &amp; kids keep watching, meaning he has continuous fuel and he&apos;s not forgotten.

  I would think that the room with the wired headsets is how they erase the kids memories before they are sent to Buddy&apos;s world. They get pulled into this facility when they are captured from the TV, and are sent to erase their memories and replace them with memories of being with Buddy. It would also explain how Freddy&apos;s mom was able to break free se easily. They needed a replacement nurse ASAP, so she probably didn&apos;t spend much time in the room before being sent to Buddy.

  What really sad about this movie is that Freddy has been stuck in buddy’s tv show (aka realm) for so long that she believes that a backpack and mailbox were sentient beings that can talk and she considered them her best friends, just for her to finally come back to the real world and see that objects aren’t living things and they can’t talk. It really shows that Buddy has groomed the characters into his realm where everyTHING is their friend, and it’s even worse that theres a secret workshop where talking objects are made.<br><br>And thats why i disagree when people blame Freddy for trying to save a mailbox because its not her fault that she groomed and taken into a realm where objects are their friend.

  The mailbox is Blue’s Clues reference, the clock is a reference to Pee-wee’s Playhouse and finally the backpack is a Dora reference.

  The photos weren’t scientists, they were photos of previous mailmen and nurses

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yeq2sm58NBI&amp;t=487">8:07</a> I like how there&apos;s a bit of space between the two children not enough to make it obvious that there&apos;s something missing but just enough to think to yourself &apos;Why is that space there?&apos;. The movie isn&apos;t telling you it&apos;s hinting at you, the chair is a more obvious one but this one is just a slight hint that only works because of the way we think.
