- www.AdamTheWoo.com - PLEASE RATE & SUBSCRIBE - I hunted down the filming locations for the 1991 classic movie. Some of the spots were easy to find and some were near impossible. It was a challenge but a lot of fun. Enjoy !
It's quite unbelievable how sad I am about the state of that tree now.
FatFaced Elf I know what you mean. Sending hugs :) ...and your face is not fat.
It is a little.. Our donations are doing good.
:(
Its not a real tree. Its metal.
I know, but it's sad AF
That lady was so nice to let you in her home to film the movie location.
+Brian Barcus If that was in New York or LA they would have told you to get lost.
Brian Barcus People there are rude.
Brian Barcus yeah !
Omg I was crying xD this movie gets me every time even when it just shows small clips from it
If this was the film I think it is when that boy dies I was as well
Same
I'm from Sanford. I remember being in the 6th grade and they had some of the streets blocked off while filming. Great memories!
Joe Begala Are you still in that area?
I started to get sad when I saw the old willow tree
The willow died to know whatever happened to Maculay Culkin.
@@mikejunior211 with the hurricanes this area has endured after the filming of this movie, my guess is that is what killed it. A lot of trees in 04 were destroyed by hurricane charley that came through that area.
Thank you Adam, for the memories, and, for the trip to locations, for the movie My Girl. It's one of my favorite movies.
Your shots of the weeping willow tree,
made me so sad, and made me think of Vada's poem she wrote, after Thomas J. had died.
The movie made me long for the simpler, innocent days of youth. Like in the movie though, things can happen, like death, that you can't be prepared for, especially as a child, and some have to learn, that things are no longer simple, and innocent, and, they never can, or will be again. . . 😞💔
Friends of my parents actually donated the caskets that were used in the movie.
I feel so nostalgic, it's been 23 years since I watched the movie for the first time! I feel bad about the end, that was such a beautiful tree! Thanks for taking the time to do these videos! Greetings from Costa Rica :)
They didn't actually film inside the house, they built an almost exact replica in the studio (which explains the non-existent cellar, as it's clear in the film that there are stairs down). They didn't want to film in the house as the guy that owned it at the time was an artist who ran an antiques business, and they were scared of damaging something.
"That tree said it all
That was the past this is the now
One day we will all be gone
But the power of film will live on"
We look at that tree with memories of the film in the same way Veda did in memory of Thomas J.. Thats the beauty!!
It was sad seeing the dock and tree not doing so well
My city :-) I lived on a few of those streets that you showed. Where the house was and where the funeral home was. I was just at that library downtown. Where the houses are, we call that Georgetown. That is more of the historic side. The girl in this video with you imitated Vida to the T, lol, even the way she ran. Except for both hands on the stair railing, but everything else was spot on. Awesome job :-) I enjoyed this. I was born and raised here :-)
Thanks for this video, I love it. The Sultenfuss house is the house of my dreams. I'd love to see it some day.
This is my favorite childhood movie of all time. It is amazing how you were able to find the film locations. I can tell you are obsessed with this movie! Great job!
Awesome blast from the past. I was born and raised in Sanford so I remember them filming way back then. I still live close to the area but looking back is always a tearjerker. Lots of changes to the area.
That was truly amazing. The end of the scene really got me. We have all climbed that one tree, we have all etched our names into it. Hoping that our names and our experience would be inmoratalized. To see the tree gone and to see the deterioration of that once big gorgeous tree, choked me up. Maybe it’s because it represents us, and how strong and fragile our existence is.
Lol deep af
its so sad the tree and dock are gone! :(
Adam, some of your videos, like this one-- Pure Gold 👍🏻
I'm amazed squirrels can scurry across a brick wall like that, or maybe the force is strong with this one.
This is amazing how you filmed this. This is very sad to see the willow tree ending up like that. Thank you very much for this update. Very touching and beautiful. My Girl was definitely the movie I grew up with.
Thanks for this so much, sad film so good you got to go in the old parlour, that tree though 😭
Wow! Fabulous video Adam!! Interesting to see what has changed over the years and what has remained the same.
My Girl is such a sweet film... great to see the locations and your editing on this is on point! 👏🏻
Your videos rock, Adam! I love it when folks are kind enough to let you inside their homes for some photos
I just came here from the future .....well maybe just todays retake of this filming location! great work Adam!
+sass clenaghen I did the same thing lol , I don't think the tree footage in this video was his though, didn't look like his style, that's why he has the new video from today, he found the tree :)
+sani 86 I think it's his footage of the tree as well. He said in the new video he wished he would have focused more on the little dock because now that's gone :(
awesome job, Adam! Loved your attention to detail! the then and now segments were great. wish more movie memories could be preserved....
Dude, this video is absolutely amazing! I highly admire all the work that you did, this is one of my favorite movies, it was so nice to see what everything is like 20 years later, I might be going to Florida early next year and I would love to run into the 'Parlor'! I love the reenactments! Really nice job!! :)
Seeing the willow tree and dock as they are today, made me so sad=( Would have loved to see those one day.
The willow tree was fake, they made it themselves out of steel (when they made the film), the dock obviously wasn't looked after so the wood started disintegrating/rotting
You were there in a great moment because now nobody can entranse, not even in the backyard! Great video, beautiful movie. Thank you!
Such a beautiful way for you to end this video. I waited throughout this whole thing to see the tree and the dock where they had their infamous kiss. So sad to see that the tree is pretty much gone and the dock is all broken. I bet you were REALLY bummed when you discovered that. Actually made me tear up a little....and then I was like....why am I almost crying? LOL
Thank's for sharing! 52 and going on 53, time goes by! Wish I could be 32 going on 33 again! Helps to age by reading you all!!!!! Have a great 2015 summer!!!!
Not sure what it takes to locate and visit these film locations but thanks! I love it and find it so interesting. I've even got a few of my friends into it.
I live in Sanford, and love the movie. I work in the 4 story white building at the end of the alley where the buildings are gone.
I saw the movie a lot in the early 90's as my daughter was young then & loved it. I've lived in Sanford 8 years now & never knew they filmed a lot of it here. Thanks for the cool post.
the Ending of this video Put tears in my eyes. I love Vada's Poem and i'm with mrticgamer
on the Willow tree Sad to see its falling apart
My mother in law lives in the my girl house it's cool to go in after seeing the movie and thinking of the stars that was once there
That's amazing!
BroskyWhoDatedHoski it was the Stanford inn
It’s in Bartow Florida
My uncle was in charge of the city of Bartow’s electric department and they helped the crew with their electric needs
In appreciation Jammie Lee Curtis gave my uncle a kiss
really great job with this one.... the last minute or so with the original voice over was really great! Thank you, this video brought back a lot of great memories.
I love that you include clips of the actual movie within your vids
The funny part about 11:20 when Dan Akroyd is talking about charcoal in pre-measured bags is that Kingsford introduced a similar product several years ago.
My girl film was shot in Florida but in the movie was Penselvania and first I didn't noticed it until I see this video thanks man for sharing I'm a huge fan of the Drama sad movie its awesome to see where exactly was filming , keep it up bro..
I'm a Muslim & I love this film so much makes me sad how time flies. Good old days. Best 90s kid film ever ❤️💋💋💋
Wanna go tree climbing Thomas Jay?
This may be the most charming video I have ever seen. The giddiness & enthusiasm in your voice & the fact that you chose this film! So under-rated! Its also one of my all time favorites, I too have memorized the entire movie and always loved the town & their bikes! I still feel like Veda and I would have been best friends.
For awhile I insisted on wearing a Mood-ring like hers. A bit on the scarce side trying to locate in my 90's childhood, but that's neith
You had to show THAT scene! Gets me everytime.
this was and still is my FAVOURITE MOVIE EVER!!!!
I used to live in the house that they filmed that in. I was pleased to see Adam went there and made this video!
That is the old Plant City High School which now houses a model railroad club display.
damn, this might have been my favorite vid of yours yet. as much as i love all the abandoned locations, its pretty fascinating to learn about the rich movie history the state of florida actually has. i honestly had no idea my girl was filmed here until you made this video. shame on my ignorance and thank you for your passion and dedication! :)
This was cool 😎 Adam. I don't think I ever watched this. I'll to watch it sometime. Thanks for sharing this.
I've been to the area where that clock tower is. My mom loves My Girl and pointed out while we were out there once years ago that it was from the movie. Glad you filmed the locations for this movie. I immediately shared it with my mom after watching the video myself. Don't know when she'll actually watch it. Thanks for doing this one.
soooo- I came across you and your videos a couple weeks ago.. I spent the first night (about 4 hours) wachin video after video - Man - Keep it up - I tell ya - I would watch a show like this - there is nothing on TV like this... I know people have told you that but man - I am a fan of uncovering things.. and a fan of yours. thank you for hours of entertainment...
just bought the my girl 1 and 2 in a combo dvd set yesterday these movies are definitely a classic
I remember bawling my eyes out over this movie. I was 10.
Love the movie...
Can't believe much of the set is still alive
Sad about the tree and the dock
Good job finding them!
Thanks for the great flashback of memories. I live in FL and had no idea this was filmed here. Awesome video. Keep up the awesome entertainment!!
Wow. Dude you should of taken one of the dock boards back with you!!
Amazing you were able to find all these locations and to actually be able to go in to the house.
This is incredible work Adam! You should put your work on the silver screen or get your own TV show. Awesome work! The tree and bridge flashback was amazing. Brought a smile to my face.
Great! I got this on DVD and also watched it a couple of times, loved it. Thanks for finding the locations.
This was my fave movie. Love how you make these!
Sanford Inn is in Bartow Florida it's still there now privately owned no longer a bed and breakfast I live a few blocks away from it
So I just came across your videos today, I have literally been sitting here for 6 hours watching....lol Yes I have no life! I love this one, my girls was one of my favorite movies!! But I gotta tell you the tree at the end was a real bummer. Thanks for doing what you do!! Keep it up!! Love the videos!!
Can you do My Girl 2?
I can't believe I grew up there and never knew my girl was filmed there, loved the movie too.
One of my favorite episodes from your channel
This was great. I had just finished watching the movie for the IDK time and wondered where this was filmed looked it up and found this. great video.. :)
your movie location videos are the best. Have you done any John Hughes? A lot of them are in the northern suburbs of Chicago. I just discovered your videos and I appreciate the information. It's fun to see how different the locations look in real life compared to how they looked on film. It reveals a lot about movies. I can't believe the amount of research you've done.
once again Adam a great video. they just keep get better and better. Thank You for doing them.
such a great movie same seeing the old tree made me sad
Oh my goodness! I love that you did this location. I am 8 1/2 months pregnant with twin girls and I'm naming one of them Vada after this movie :) Thanks so much for doing what you do, it is very much so enjoyed and appreciated :)
I live in Plant City! the old high school is haunted!
I always felt this strange connection to the movie, and cant believe I've started at those houses millions of times, and NEVER connected them with the movie lol.
I actually loved my girl x thank you for this x
What a great video. The condition of the tree is quite shocking. I bet it was hard to believe when you saw it.
....For awhile I insisted on wearing a Mood-ring like hers. A bit on the scarce side trying to locate in my 90's childhood, but that's neither here nor there.
The point is, despite the foreknowledge I have of the fate awaiting poor TJ going back to retrieve the ring - that scene with her on the staircase listening to the wake that you edited brilliantly, interspersing how it looks today, made me cry. In a good way!
Well done, I'm sure Harry Sultenfuss & the gang and the Sennet family are prou
I like reading others comments. I second what homersimpsonucf had to say. Nice job on your work and thank you for your passion and dedication. And, by the way, Dan A. one of my all time favorite actors. Always wanted to meet him too. Very cool Adam and Nicky.
R.I.P. Ann Nelson. She Played Gramma Sultenfuss. also did Airplane in 1980.
The ending... Right in the feels. :(
That ending was for real tears man i thought of when thomas jay died. Now i have kids his age it shakes me to see that now
13:24 you did a really good putting this part together man. Its incredible to see one of hollywood's most classic moments in history, impacted with the reality of time and reality. The tree is still there and so is the bridge... thats great bro
i cannot believe this. I used to mow the lawn at that school with the city and never knew that my girl was filmed there
Great Job!!! I loved the way that you ended this video.
adam, sometimes theres tours of that school! if your ever back in florida you should see if its open
theres some cool shops around there too, the state theatre is now an antiques shop
also that same city is where "the girl in the window" a feral child was found... not very proud of living there sometimes
Great video! I am the newest fan to your site. I too enjoy the hobby of visiting lots of movie filming locations, and I take photos and videos, but I have NO IDEA how to edit them and play them along with the original movie clip, as you do. Great job man! Keep up the good work!
WOW, you just keep getting better and better. Thanks
Absolutely LOVE this movie. Thanks for finding the spots.
Great movie! I loved it when I when I was a kid. Nice of them to let you see the inside of the house.
OMG. I'm from Brazil and I'm crying watching this video. Seriously. Congrats for your channel. My Girl is my favorite movie since ever! When I was a child, my dream was to go the place where they filmed it. But different countries its not easy to have money and vacation from work to go. Please could you tell me what city is it and help me to find those spots because I will make my dream come true and ai will plan a "My Girl Vacation" after watching your video and realizing that I still have this dream. Thank u for this amazing video.
me too fave 26 years n counting . thanks adam
the end kinda broke my heart :(
I always wanted to know how the movie location looks like today.
I felt very emotional!
Thank you for that!!
This video brought tears to my eyes. Thank you, sir.
It’s just so crazy to see how much really does change in life
so flippin' cool!!! I used to own the hearse from the movie!
One of my favorite movies. Great video!
LOVE My Girl! ❤️
J P me too!
That was awesome! :D You should consider doing a location shot for My Girl 2. That would be way cool. :)
I can't believe the tree and the dock are destroyed. The tree was beautiful.
BEST VIDEO EVER!!! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!
I really enjoyed the video and especially your sidekick Nikki. She is really cute and very entertaining in the video.
I hope to see her joining you again in some of your future videos.
Agreed, they should have a show like this on the discovery channel or whatever. Cause I'm enjoying your videos, this one and the locations for the movies Ernest Saves Christmas and Problem Child 2 are all I've watched so far, and am getting more and more interested in where my fave movies were filmed. My hat is off to you adamthewoo.
loving ur videos Adam!!Especially love this one cos it was one of my favorite movies..thanks!!
