I Love You, You Hate Me

2022 · 1 season

A nostalgic, unsettling look at how a children's icon became a target for collective rage, mixing fond memories with uncomfortable truths.

Tagline: Barney: The untold story.
Overview: A thought-provoking exploration of the spectacular rise and fall of Barney the Dinosaur’s furious backlash — and what it says about the human need to hate. From Barney-bashing to frat parties to homicidal video games, something in American society broke into a million pieces, and it’s never been put together again… or is this just who we were all along?
How it feels: Melancholic, satirical, cynical and dark. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Media, celebrity, identity, morality
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
