Movies: 101 Dalmations!
Perhaps that is where I fall short - I never trusted the kindness of authority figures to be anything other than a ruse. I saw it as, they would be kind if it would get you to do what they wanted, and if that kindness attempt did not sway you, then they would still force you, or crush you etc. So they would get their way and you would not count no matter what. Better, in my opinion, to just stay away from them altogether.

101 Dalmations was too fraught with peril for me. (most of the animal ones were even if they ended happy. I don't why I could bear aristocats as well as as I did)
