this is a thread for Fern Gully

the second?? third?? land before time has an AWESOME song in it tho. they've met a baby t-rex and he is their friend and they invite him to dinner (?!?) then they sing a v catchy number called "Friends for Dinner" which has a double meaning once Cera warns them that he is still a sharp-tooth and will surely eat them

"dansk tale"

i was bummed when i found out how much less cute and 1988 fabulous oliver twist was

alex what the fuck

We watched this in my high-school French class, on the logic that some character says "beaucoup" at some point.

happily ever after was straight to video wasn't it? or am i confusing it with other disney knockoffs? i remember renting an off-brand little mermaid (with a more faithful ending, bullshit) out of desperation

oh god my mom made the mistake of renting another cartoon little mermaid during my sister's little mermaid phase. wowwww was that a mistake.

lol she dies!

I have no idea about Happily Ever After other than I watched it about 900 times in three days.

huge lolz re. accurate little mermaid cartoon

Am I the only one old enough to remember this?

no i remember impawards v well

kekekekkee

ok for some reason this is making me recall that there is a live action anime series of little women. i'm pretty sure it is "true to the book" too unlike a certain katharine hepburn film version i saw when i was very little and the realization that beth dies really fucked with me.

also wtf japan, out of all the things you make television series about?

My friend Jason's mom went to the video store to get us a cartoon and returned with "Watership Down." We were eight.

This went v. poorly.

Also "Brave Little Toaster" was great, also "Tiny Toons: How I Spent My summer Vacation", which is criminally unavailable on DVD.

YES YES YES TINY TOONS

Land Before Time VI Released Straight To Landfill

HOLLYWOOD, CA–In a gala Hollywood burial, The Land Before Time VI: The Secret Of Saurus Rock, the latest installment in Universal Pictures' and Amblin Entertainment's long-running animated series, was released straight to landfill Tuesday. "For the first time ever, we're bypassing video stores and taking this beloved Don Bluth family adventure series directly to its biggest market," Universal Pictures spokesperson Marianne Fordson said. More than 250,000 copies of The Land Before Time VI were released from a dumptruck and buried under 950 tons of dirt and refuse in the L.A. Department of Sanitation's dump site in Hollywood. "Join us in welcoming this funny, heartwarming dino-tale to the bottom of an enormous mound of trash," read a press release for the film.

BRAVE LITTLE TOASTER WAS FUCKING GREBT

re Tiny Toons: I still use "The Happy-Go-Pukey" joke to describe state fair rattle rides.

Also, the only "kiddie" movie I know of that makes multiple Deliverance references.

Fern Gully sounds like a euphemism for some sort of mossy vaginal infection.

I cannot believe you all made it this far without mentioning that one of the characters in ferngully is voiced by TONE LOC

surely that counts for something

what about the Peanuts movies, and the constant downers they were?

Guys, I think something is seriously wrong with me, I dont think I have ever seen ANY OF THESE MOVIES. WTF.

They weren't exactly BIG HITS in America.

Also I suspect all these movies are from at least the mid to late 80s if not later, I was in late high school by then, fuck a cartoon mermaid. Wait, wrong thread?

Haha, all that thread is ABOUT is fucking a cartoon mermaid.

lol at fucking troll in central park. i think that may have been the first movie i recognized as shitty

I saw this bizarre Japanese animated version of Jack and the Beanstalk as a kid. It had a really creepy scene in it where there was a witch who made paper cut-out people and then summoned them to life and they sang a creepy gothy song in a cathedral. I can't have been more than 8 when I saw it.

Suddenly my whole life makes sense.

I made a bad stop-motion of Jack & the Beanstalk once. I indicated Jack was looking at the sky by moving his one clay eyeball up to the very top of his red sperical head. The giant was Sting, whose 'big enough umbrella' was causing the valley drought. Jack stopped him by reciting some Shakespeare to him & then they did archery together. (All the dialogue was conveyed with title cards.)

Hahahaha awesome! :D

OK, this was what I tried to post before. This movie flipped me out as a kid. And look at that A-list cast . . .

Hugo seems very fleshy. I think I remember seeing part of that on TV.

Now this one I do remember:

You guys have NO IDEA how strongly I wish to see Hugo the Hippo.

I want to see Water Babies again! I remember having a very strange reaction to it as a kid. The idea of living under water did.... funny things to me. Er.

Hugo looks like Babar meets Yellow Submarine!

There is a great description of Hugo the Hippo here.

"But drugs or no drugs... my God! How can I describe this living oxymoron, that being a real hallucination? Where to start? How about with the Marie Osmond-sung opening song:

Do you know the way to tell a story that's true
From the stories that never took place?
Well, when a story's so strange that if it never happened
No one could ever think it up
Then it is true

A story so strange no one could ever make it up has to be true
Has to be true
Now, you ask what difference does it make in the end
If you believe a strange story or no (sic)
If you accept a strange story told to you as true
Then a certain enlightenment comes to you
It comes to you
A certain enlightenment comes when a story that's told to you
Is really true
This story is really true
It's really true

..."

That reads like fucked up 70s sesame st logic.
