Yeah, it really does. Years ago, I listened to the score for the first time since watching the movie as a small child and just started crying. Same with Once Upon a Forest (which was also James Horner).

Yes.
Disney made a film in that style already. It was mediocre.

Corona wild man. Got people talking shit about Don Bluth's art style.Do you honestly find this art style nice?
SMH
i don't want to know how much that mother scene wrecked her...........that shit wrecked me as a child.
I watched it on cinema on a limited screening (original 35mm format with hisses and breaks) and room was packed with adults! One guy behind me bragged to his friends how he owned all movies. A woman next to me sang the ending song during the end credits. Only kid in the room I could spot was a toddler that cried for other reasons.
So yes, the appeal to our generation was important
We went to see Oliver too but tickets were sold out despite the wait and we were dissapointed. Dad got us tickets for another movie that was playing and we lost the first 10 minutes as a result. It was Asterix et Le Coup du menhir. Very good and funny movie but we were more in the mood for the kitten. Saw Oliver the following week and room was full and we waited at the queue for half an hour too. I liked it a lot, one of my favourite movies. Even more than little mermaid. Had seen a poster for lbt but our dad did not take us to that movie. Probably I should have asked him but there was not an urge to watch it like with Oliver.

Fievel goes West was even better. I saw the sequel on cinema as a kid and I was the sole viewer. Have both on BD, though unfortunately picture quality for all three is not up to HD remaster standards

I haven't seen it since I was a kid after I found out that the girl who voiced Ducky (and Anna Marie in All Dogs Go to Heaven) and her mother were brutally murdered by her father.
I loved Oliver and Company back when it came out but last time I saw it, it didn't hold up very well.

We had happy stuff in te 80's as well. It's good to have different things.
You're talking like there weren't animated movies outside Bluth ie. Disney
The Disney Cinderella is half a really good movie and half a terrible, obnoxious movie.
Littlefoot is an extremely charismatic toddler that the audience is forced love. Then, his amazing mother dies. Slowly. He weeps while snuggling her corpse in the pouring rain. Then, spends the rest of the first act stooped in a true depression.
This movie treats death brilliantly. No condescension. No pretense. Up and Coco aint got shit on this movie when it comes to dealing with death.
Jerome's alpha energy is what sold Pizza Hut pizza. Straight pimp.

It's better than the disney movies that came out around that time. Iirc this went up against Oliver and company and between the two... this felt like a disney movie at heart.
I hated that movie since I was a child, never enjoyed them. That being said, you are watching a movie for like 6 year olds and should know what you are getting
Can't agree with this at all. I have he exact opposite opinion. The first one was the best. The others all felt like they were trying to cash in on the first one's reputation and also that kids will watch anything. As some one said the first few sequels were ok (but still no true wan good as the first) but the rest were outright horrible.
It made a lot of money though. Universal could use that right now.
*Watches kid's movie as a middle aged man*
Hmm, I don't know what those 5 year olds were thinking
Good thread OP lmao

You come in here and just shit all over the carpet with this.
I tear up at the end of All Dogs go to Heaven.
Do you honestly find this art style nice?
Don Bluth's animation and direction style is iconic.
At a pretty much 100% rate even I believe at this point they post from an alternative dimension
It had anthropomorphic dinosaurs, which was enough back then to become a classic, but the film itself was just okay. Secret of NIMH though *chefs kiss*, legit better than Disney movies at the time.
I rewatched American tale when i was 26 or so and still loved it. And not just because of nostalgia because i rewatched great mouse detective and all dogs go to heaven around the same time and found both of them very disappointing.
I never liked land before time, even as a kid
I loved darker childrens literature and films as a kid. Children gets depressed and think about death too, and having narratives to help you cope with those issues without being condescending is important even for younger kids.
I loved it as a kid, then I watched it again a few months back, and yeah... wish I hadn't. It's not very good. Another beloved childhood memory ruined.
