One thing that struck me upon a rewatch, was how much humor this film contained. While there is a scene in which the freaks are shunned by the able people, there are also sweet moments of the performers bonding and getting together.

Tod Browning's accomplishment is making you care for the freaks. You see th world through their eyes and feel their feelings. In a way, it even has a bit of a message of acceptance and inclusiveness in it.

Wonder how today's audiences would react to the concept.

As a ps, it was also funny to see a character that Kevin Smith referenced in Clerks: the animated series.
Love to see Freaks on the big screen!
