Growing up in the 80s meant that pretty much any kids movie was going to be traumatizing. Gremlins: horrifying. Neverending Story: emotional damage. The Land Before Time: can't think of dinosaurs without tearing up. It's like the whole movie industry was explicitly devoted to fucking us up.
Hey, don't forget Transformers: The Movie, the one in which all your heroes just fuckin' died (so some greedy toy company execs could boost sales).
I vividly remember watching that movie in the theater. My brother and I were so hyped we were standing on our seats for the opening song. Then they had Optimus Prime cuss and we absolutely couldn't believe it. When he died, I had never seen such bullshit. Optimus Prime can't die, he was the toughest robot ever.
Flight of the Navigator was awesome.as a kid. Kinda fucked up when I rewatched it a few years ago
Really? I loved that as a kid. What was so bad about it?
Oh yeah....didn't he come back to see decades had passed on Earth and his family thought he was dead?
I suspect a bunch of animators wanted their work to be taken seriously as art, but were stuck making kids movies, so they made kids movies that were shockingly dark to try to persuade people that animation was a versatile medium.
can't think of dinosaurs without tearing up
It may be of solace to know that dinosaurs have survived that mass-extinction event in the lineage of birds.
Unfortunately, the trauma of Littlefoot's mom dying isn't lessened by the knowledge that pigeons are shitting on my roof thanks to her sacrifice.
