[Found!] Trying to find an old cartoon

[Kaido]

I imagine they based "The Fifth Element" of that one alone.

Ah, one of my all-time favorite movies. "Negative, I am a meat popsicle" :biggrin:

Yup, you nailed it, THANKS! Ommadon the Red Wizard was voiced by James Earl Jones & John Ritter plays the scientist. I must have gotten confused because The Last Unicorn & Flight of the Dragons were released the same year (1982). Did you watch it? I don't think I've ever met anybody else who has :biggrin:

Being a child of the 80's who watched way too much tv, I'm embarrassed to admit the truth. You had me worried that there were two bad movies with the same plot. :biggrin:

Glad to be of assistance.

I came in to argue against the "bad movie" part but...eh

I think the Last Unicorn could be made into a really awesome live-action movie, like maybe 3 hours long, because it definitely has its moments, but it feels fairly rushed & disconnected as-is. But based on the history, obtaining the rights sounds like a fool's errand, so I'll pass :biggrin:

And wow, searching has pulled up so many weird old movies I've seen...there's the more popular ones like The Neverending Story & Little Nemo, but there's the more arcane ones:

The Phantom Tollbooth
Mio in the Land of Faraway (Batman!)
Time Bandits (that ending with the parents...lol)
The Peanut Butter Solution

Movies used to be so weird haha

LOL, some great old memories were just dug up here! I remember renting The Peanut Butter Solution for one of my birthday parties when I was a kid and we all loved it. And holy crap! this movie is obscure: Mio in the Land of Faraway, but we owned it! My parents bought it for us kids on VHS (probably out of some discount bin) and we always made fun of it! I remember a giant head floating in the air and this kid grabbing his beard and flying away,lol! I also remember laughing at a character named Yum Yum or No No or something like that.

Haha yeah the floating bearded head! The older kid, I think the son of the king, is actually Christian Bale when he was super young! I remember showing it to my in-laws like ten years ago when we were watching campy movies around the holidays & now my wife's whole family makes fun of me for weird movie choices lol.

I didn't read this thread but I found the old cartoon I always remembered when the giant smoked the haystack that Mickey was hiding in. Shit must've been epic, some real alabama-rama if you know what I mean. He huffed- deeeeep.
