I remember doing this, I had a favourite, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 On video tape, and watched it repeatedly.
At the time I didn't understand why I didn't get bored. It was just so amazing.
However, I still can't explain the reason why I repeatedly watched the video multiple times.
I've sat through a bug's life dozens of times with my young nieces and whilst they never tire of it, I find myself appreciating the film more each time.
Perhaps it is because our minds are not developed enough to remember a variety of images and wishes to recreate the experience of enjoyment/fear etc...?
What do you think is the reason young children watch the same video over and over again?
