Comment on Top Ten Worst Animated Movies For Kids by Neil Dunsmore

Okay, I think a lot of people here are misinterpreting what this list is about, and heck, maybe I’m the one who’s wrong here. I don’t see this as a list bashing these films so much as it’s saying they’re inappropriate for children but could still be enjoyed by adults without the need for kids as an excuse to watch it. Anyway, here are my thoughts on each:

10) This whole thing was just one big oil bath. It had to be on here.
9) This was also Bluth’s most well-written (And yet American Tail’s my favorite, fancy that) and I often like to think it was made for adults as opposed to young kids. I think the only reason it was rated G was because any movie that had no inappropriate language our drug references around that time had to be given a G rating.
It was rated PG for a reason folks. I still consider this one of Disney’s most underrated.
7) Honestly, this one wasn’t all that inappropriate. Sure, it had spirits and the devil, but to be honest, I didn’t find any of them all that creepy.
6) Disney’s most underrated hands-down! I love this film as it takes its audience very seriously, and while the ending does get across a rather bad moral about appearances, I like how different it is. It’s not often that you don’t see the main character end up with the girl. Also, it gets across one good message: That you don’t need a wife to enjoy life to its fullest. I’m not saying people shouldn’t fall in love. Heck, it’s part of the reason we exist, but not everyone in the world needs it.
5) Yeah, it shouldn’t be a mystery to anyone that anything by Ralph was intended for adults.
4) Ah yes, this one’s far more controversial than NIMH and that’s why I love it so much.
3) A work of art if I say so myself. Also, I’ve never considered this a kid’s movie, but the fact that PG-13 didn’t exist back then can be misleading.
2) Again, obvious.
1) I wanna see this one so badly!

You are a tasteless moron! These are some of the greatest animated films of all time! Just because your mom dropped you on your head as a baby doesn’t give you the right to trash great art and our childhood!

I don’t know, some family friends showed me and my sister “The Brave Little Toaster”…Not sure which was worse, the cars getting crushed to death as they reminisce about their glory days, or the appliance store owner who laughs evilly as he wields dripping forceps over our helpless alarm clock friend.I didn’t sleep for weeks after that.

Me and my friend did an air guitar performance of Johnny Be Rotten for a high school talent show in the ’80’s complete with slutty girl back up singer. It was one of the best moments of my life.

Just had a thought. How many children of the 70’s, after buying this book, went out and either, attempted to identify drug users, or were able to score drugs that much easier?

Richard Hudson and John Ford was in the psychedelic band Elmer Gantry’s Velvet Opera (later shortened to Velvet Opera) before joining The Strawbs for which they wrote the big hit “Part Of The Union”. Then they started their own career as Hudson-Ford and had hits in UK with “Pick Up The Pieces”, “Burn Baby Burn” and “Floating In The Wind”. Having played psychedelic, folk, pop, prog-rock and even some disco(!), they formed The Monks. Great guys! John Ford now lives and performs in New York.

The same group of guys also released “I Never Go Out In The Rain” (as the band High Society), between Bad Habits and Suspended Animation. In a way, it fits with their approach to spoofing punk on Bad Habits, because it’s an album of semi-1930s music, with periodic country and flamenco tones. Maybe their tastes were just too eclectic for a record label to back over a long time? Whatever the case, it’s really too bad they didn’t put out any more albums and it’s so hard to find out anything about them on-line.

Comment on My 80s Dream Toy Chest by Jeremy

I am looking for an old toy and was wondering if anyone can help. It was an old electronic hide and seek game, a finder and 2 receivers. Up to 2 people would go hide and take a device that was in a shape of a triangle that someone could clip on their belt. It had a red light and a receiver on it. The person who was seeking had a device that looked like a tv remote, had 3 lights(red,yellow, green) that would flash faster and faster the close you got to the people hiding. it also had sound that would get faster as you got closer. If you got close enough you could push a big red button and “tag” the person, if you missed the device would reset and the person hiding could go and hide again. Thanks!
