Animated films are for a general audience, and are a beautiful art form made for everyone, kids & adults. Adults and parents should take mind in what they are letting their children watch anyway. But most of these films are classic stories that wanted to be expressed in a different art form. Animation is a long and tedious process, and there's a LOT into making a film- character designs, acting, background designs, then the long process of creating it to be believable.

The nightmare sequence with the evil clown scared me senseless as a kid. The sequence where the cars get crushed is traumatizing, too.

I'm talking about: Fantastic Planet - where giant freaky blue aliens keep humans as pets, and the wild ones get eaten by bizzare creatures The Mouse and His Child - A psychedelic hell filled with philosophical toys and sadistic rats The Raggedy Ann and Andy Movie - Swore me off sweets for at least a week (forever for a child) Jack and the Beanstalk - You haven't been messed with until you've seen what the Japanese can do to this classic story. Of course, they were all awesome! Now off to watch Plague Dogs for the first time... thanks for the recommend!

You really need to get your bearings straight. I admit I don't know all the titles you listed here, but over half the movies you put down here, don't belong there at all. Okay first of all, Secret of Nimh, this is one of Don Bluth's absolute classics. I admit the plot is not really what you would expect of a kid's movie, but it's a great tale. It had a very dark complex and cool story and gave us a great hero to boot. Next up, Hunchback of Notredame. This is also one of the great movies to come out of the Disney Renessaince. It's also very dark and epic, but it's still a kids movie. They had to make some changes here and there. That's why I am also okay with the sidekicks. And they couldn't let it end like the original book, were basically, I don't know. Oh yeah right, half the cast was dead at the end! Than we got Watership Down, which is in my opinion one of the best animated movies ever produced. It's just for me not necessarily a children's movie. And also All Dogs go to Heaven is a very good movie, even if it's a little bit darker in tune. And I think that's the issue here, a lot of these movies have elements in them that you wouldn't expect in a kids movie or that or not kid friendly. Secondly, the story lines can sometimes be very hard for children to follow. But just because the tone of some of those movies is somewhat darker or more complex doesn't mean they are bad movies at all. Hunchback of Notredame is one of my favourite movies and I saw Secret of Nimh and Watership Down when I was like 8 and I thought they were absolutely cool. Okay, than you got movies like the Black Cauldron there and Transformers, the Movie. They aren't that good, but they aren't that bad either. I also have seen and read many things about your number one, and I also have to say again it's not a kids movie but one I think could make for a quite interesting story. I don't know the other titles you have here, but also the movie with the mouse sounds interesting. I can't saw anything about the movie with the girl riding that bird. But I have to say I am going with you as far as this movie "Wizard" is concerned, the plot sounds just ridicolous...but otherwise...I can't understand why you panned so many classics here! Sorry, but I don't agree with you at all! Try watching movies like Titanic: The Legend Goes on! Than you know, what a really bad animated movie is!

I saw it at a sleepover when I was seven, it was very disturbing! Had an equally disturbing cheesy theme song too , anyone remember this one?
