Did you find out later in life that your favorite cartoon was all lies?

If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME stuff, why didn’t he just buy dinner? Apparently, Acme was a pretty diverse company…

Coyotes actually run a lot faster than roadrunners ever could.

Roadrunners are actually rather small and one would never be enough to feed a coyote.

You can tell I’m a little traumatized by the fact I’ve cited the fire out of this question… Apparently, the roadrunner cartoon is just a parody of “Cat & Mouse” type cartoons. It doesn’t stop the pain…

So, were you ever shocked by childhood beliefs that turned out to be all lies? Incidentally, no one has disproved The Doctor, so I’m still clinging to that one.
