Don Bluth's post-Disney finest work. I absolutely love it, and hope my daughter grows up loving it too (gotta' love kids, gives you a reason to rewatch the "classics" 🙂)
 
Am I the only one that came in here expecting a thread about Nickle Metal-Hyrdride batteries?

hahaha, I read the books when I was younger, and liked them. Don't remember much about the movie, though.

That's the same thing I was thinking. But my daughter is only 6.5 months old so she's got a ways to go before she'd be able to actually understand it and not just like watching the moving colors. heh.
 
Hey, I have an idea. Let's spend half the thread quoting each other to prove we know what batteries are. People will be ever so impressed by us.

One of my favorites as a child. Who am I kidding, I still like it.

A movie I don't remember much about but remember liking it is The Flight of Dragons. I'd like to see that one again.

That one had some kind of hidden social/religious commentary in it, as I remember. Something about science killing magic/mystic/the dragons/maybe even religion too?

Very fuzzy memory on that one.


What about The Last Unicorn? Probably a total cheese fest, but I remember it being very sad.

It was just that magic and science couldn't coexist. Science was killing magic (and magical creatures), so the wizards needed to cut off their world from ours to preserve it.

I don't see much commentary there... magic was never compared to religion and there wasn't anything that alluded to such a comparison. Maybe the scene where Carolinus talks to Antiquity, but that's a big stretch.

Now the thing about the knight being in love with the much, much younger girl... that was a little weird for a children's movie. And I seem to recall a line about "sending the ogre of something Keep to hell."

But I can't think of any ideology the movie really tried to push...

The Last Unicorn definitely had some social commentary in it though.
