The watership down one could be avoided if people realized animated didn’t mean for kids
Tell that to Amy, Lily, Halley, and Naomi.
@@annafowdy yeah
The movie delt with very adult themes, from the distruction of our countryside to death. The main theme through out the movie was that of "look at what we humans are doing to nature" from the snaring, to the distruction of an entire community.
The story also gave us some very iconic lines mostly from the sea gull .
It was made in the 80s it was made for kids
If they didn't rate it wrong it woulda been different
Dishonorable mention; "The Black Cauldron" went through so much development hell that nearly put an end to Disney Animation.
Replacing Janet Waldo with Tiffany for the voice of Judy Jetson.
@@joeypieper6384 All so that a musical number could be included.
Yeah but thankfully when they decide to do Who Framed Roger Rabbit with Steven Spielberg, it turns things around for Disney.
Watership down is a terrifying film.
😭💔
It horrified me more than any horror film ever will.
Me too! After watching it, Freddy and Jason are puppies.
it still horrifies me as an adult and first time i saw it as a lil kid, still haunts me
I've only ever seen bits & pieces of "Watership Down" thanks to videos like this one, never the whole thing in it's entirety. But those bits and pieces alone...it IS pretty *unsettling* to look at (😱)! I'm _not_ saying it's a 'bad' flick; I've heard it's actually quite well-done. I just can't get past the frightening imagery long enough to sit down & enjoy the story.
@@velociraptor4you3291, Take it from me: don't see it; I saw WD as a child and it scarred me for life. I can never read the book, because I saw THAT animated version! Frightening is right!! D:
@@editornia Alrighty then (😉).
I remember my 5 year old sister grabbing Watership Down at Blockbuster for a movie marathon because it had cute bunnies on the front cover. We learned very quickly that it was not a cute bunny movie and she now has an irrational fear of bulldozers thanks to this movie.
I was 5 when my dad let us watch Jaws and now have a irrational fear of the ocean and pools deeper than 5 feet.
I'm really sorry for your sister becoming scared of bulldozers because of the movie "Watership Down". It should be labeled as (For Adults Only) because everyone knows that children really like small animals like rabbits since they're cute and harmless. This movie obviously has some scenes and lines which are not comforting to see and hear, even for children. If I was to create a movie for kids with rabbits, it'd be like The Easter Bunny or Peter Rabbit.
I was also 5 when I first saw this movie but it ended up as being one of my most watched cartoons growing up, I loved it XD
honestly 12 year old me would still be afraid but rather just full of questions😀
God, I feel bad for those who watched the terrifying "Watership Down" film as kids
Now adays cartoons are meant to be be all cute and fluffy, back then if you wanted cute and fluffy you went to disney Don Blooth and the like did stories with an actual message. You had Watership down, Secret of Nym. Doth of which were stories about how man is destroying the world he lives in. With watership down it was the warren of rabbits which in habited a land which had been sold and the developers sealed the rabbits in their warrren then gassed them. Secrete of Nym is about man using animals for testing. There was another story written by the same man who wrote watership down and this too was about how man treats animals.
The BBC recreated watershipdown however this time it was all light and fluffy and didnt get over the message of the original story.
Growing up in the 80's a lot of catroons aimed at kids had meaning behind them, they were called lessons. At the end of each episode there was a small "what did you learn in this episode" segment.
Now adays it's just entertainment without anything else.
🙋♀️ I was 7 when I saw Watership Down.
Bawling about 20 mins into it and it haunted me 10x more than Bambi
@@olleselin I don't think they will.
I rember all episodes of my favourit cartoons had a little segment at the end. basically talked about how one character's attitude or actions impacted others. what was the right way to do things and what is the wrong way.
That idea of teaching right from wrong in a way kids can understand has gone. Now catrrons are just meant to be fun.
Growing up we had Captain Earth or something like that and it was about recycling, caring for the planet.
Now a days that would be seen as indoctrination and other such bull.
Watership Down and Secret of Nym all had an adult theme but set out in a way younger people can grasp it. Sure it was graphic but things wern't sugar coated.
Life isnt light anf fluffy actions have consequinces. Not just on yourself but the world around you.
I could imagine if we had, had covid back then cartoons would have covered it in a way which is relatable and factual. As unlike the epidemic we had back in the 80's covid affected young and old.
Fear is good for kids
@@TheAllSeeingEye2468 but not like this
You guys forgot Disney's Pocahontas (1995.) Disney received flak for refusing help from Pocahontas' descendants and depicting "stereotypical Native American practices." 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♂️
...as well as taking extremely excessive liberties with real history.
At least they got their skin color right because apparently native Americans were RED skinned and Pocahontas was actually brown. That’s a fact people
That's the reason why they cancelled the live-action remake
I’ve now seen a lot of horror movies since watching Watership Down but none of them have traumatised as much as Watership Down. 😢💔
I watched it as a little kid and was that scared that I completely mentally blocked the entire movie. That is until I watched it again as an adult and the scene of an entire warren being buried alive and gassed brought everything flooding back.
It scared me damn movie
Watership Down was a very disturbing movie. The part where captain Holly explains what happened to the Warren was especially creepy and does not help with my fear of the dark. And I'm 25 for Pete's sake!
I remember watching Watership Down with my siblings a decade ago when I was 11. I had nightmares of a scary bloody bunny emerging from the side of my bed afterwards. It still disturbs me to see parts of the film now. I'm surprised they thought it'd be ok for kids. The honorable mention of Batman and Batgirl hooking up shocked and disgusted me. I could see him being that intimate with Catwoman possibly, but not Batgirl.
Yeah, that was just wrong in so many ways.
I feel the same about Animal Farm...It's also rated U but should definitely be PG
Oh yeah, that hook up was shocking and disgusting, almost as shocking and disgusting as the hook up of Gadget and Zipper.
@@dreamguardian8320 no it wasn't. There is nothing wrong with that hookup.
How can you hate that. Batgirl is the same Catwoman. there is nothing wrong with Batman being with Batgirl.
When I was a kid, in Brazil, the lyrics to "Arabian nights" were "they will cut your ear off to show you how barbaric is our home" and later they change it, but I was sure I had misunderstood the lyrics before. Only a few years ago that I have learned that Disney changed it in many languages 😬
In America, it was "Where they cut off you ear if they don't like your face."
I definitely remember hearing that lyric as a kid
@@sonyasandoval1477 so the translation wasn't that different from the original... That's interesting 🤔
I've still remember that word barbaric in the original Aladdin way back in the 90s to 2000s.
Starkid's Twisted made good fun of that line. XD
Reminds me of something that happened to me a few years ago. A friend of mine was planning to babysit and wanted recommendations for a movie to pick up. I said "why not try something by Miyazaki, kids tend to love that (thinking she would get something like My Neighbor Totoro). The next day, she called me up FURIOUS because she had gotten fired for traumatizing the kids. Turns out that, because she assumed ANY Miyazaki movie would do (and hadn't seen any), she got, and popped in "Grave of the Fireflies", and left the kids to watch.
not even a miyazaki movie
If she couldn't even be bothered to actually pay attention to the kids (or the movie's rating) while they watched the movie, that's her own fault. Did she seriously think babysitting required nothing but popping in a movie to do the job for her?!
I have seen Grave of the Fireflies. NEVER AGAIN will I watch it, it was so sad.
On a side note, Miyazaki movies rule!
No mention at all of the horrifying drunken pink elephants sequence in Dumbo? That terrified me as a kid! It goes on SO DANG LONG too! Nightmare fuel!
I can totally understand that, even though in my case that’s only part of Dumbo I actually liked.
It's even worse when you're old enough to realize *why* they're dreaming of those horrific pink elephants.
I've always felt the part where they run off with Dumbo and lock his mom up for defending her baby is scarier than some clowny elephants dancing around.
as a kid I never got why that part scared people when it was my favorite part (then again... elephants were my favorite animal and my favorite color was pink) but now I think that may be what influenced the fact that I now roleplay and write horror stories
I don't really think Pink Elephants On Parade is scary so much as just weird
I remember when "Arabian Knight" (the version of "The Thief and the Cobbler" we eventually got in 1996) came out. I thought, "This is the greatest movie ever!!!" Then years later I learned that Harvey Weinstein basically did to Richard Williams' movie what he did to all those women as well.
Nostalgia Critic did a video some years ago about The Thief and the Cobbler that was FASCINATING to me because I loved that movie as a child but I had no idea what it had gone through
A friend of mine told me that watership down was just like FernGully or studio Ghibli movies. We watched it with my kids who were 9 & 6 yo at the time. My son slept in my bed with me for almost a week, and had nightmares about it for years. That was the last time I trusted her about media content.
At least there is one thing we can all agree on: Animated movies are cinema and made for everyone (depending on the film).
Ah yes, a movie is a movie.
yep
Screw you, Oscars 2022!
True
😎
We have to admit when we were kids we wanted to see animated movies in theatres regardless of rating or content. I was disappointed when the ticket office wouldn’t let me see South Park: Bigger, Longer And Uncut because I was just a kid and assumed that because it was animated it was for kids. But then I learned that shows such as Family Guy and Robot Chicken aren’t for kids either due to their content and learned that there was such a thing as an adult cartoon
116: I honestly had no idea Don Bluth helped made The Fox and the Hound. Now I know why Anastasia is mistaken as a Disney movie
And Robin Hood
I must disagree with your choice of Fritz The Cat as the number one most scandalous animated film. I remember when it first came out. It was clearly marketed as a "dirty cartoon." There was no controversy; we knew exactly what it was from the get go. That's why I believe Song Of The South should be your real number one. It was released when my mother was still quite small, but I know that I saw it when I was very young. I don't remember any controversary or scandal, but that's because I am a white guy. I was too young to recognize the racist nature of the movie, especially the crows. I just thought they were funny. I had no idea they were a racial stereotype. I was too young to know anything about that kind of stuff. Just like I didn't know what the swastika represented when I was very young. I'd seen the image and thought it was cool. Then a concentration camp survivor in my neighborhood explained to me what it represented. That opened my eyes. Now I understand how destructive racial stereotypes are, and how they are used to insult and demean groups.
Completely agree. I was born in the late nineties, but song of the south was still shown on loop on cable at the time. It was only years later I realised how horrific the connotations were
I think that's the reason why Fritz the Cat was number 1 bc it received a rating not associated with its type of genre
Saw Watership Down when I was 8. I was terrified watching parts of this film. But I sat through it and ended up loving it.
I almost watched Watership Down when I was in about 4th grade. Before I could, my mom turned the TV off quickly, and told me I was too young to be watching it. So glad I didn't watch this as a kid.
Impressed Pocahontas didn't make the list with the change of lyrics in "Savages"... The original had "their whole disgusting race is like a curse", while revised has "here's what you get when races are diverse".
I remember Watership Down as a child, NOPE! It was terrifying for me and I watched Hammer Films as a kid! When I had my kids - their father and I made a list of movies not appropriate that we agreed on, and this was the top! Rock n Rule and Heavy Metal as well! Thing is people still do not get that even some Anime isn't ok for children!
Yup agreed the only animes that would be considered okay would be like Pokémon or digimon. But otherwise researching the source material is important before watching anything.
@@bethanyschnieder3482 What about Sailor Moon and the movies safe for kids?
Yes! The parents who let their children watch any Anime they want are the very same parents who dive into the air to turn off the TV when they catch their elementary school aged children watching one of the first three Harry Potters.
Edit: Or the High School Musicals for ‘Having too many sexual references’. BRO! PAY ATTENTION TO THE S**T YOU ACTUALLY ALLOW YOUR CHILDREN TO WATCH! The stuff they do in HSM is what Anime characters think about when they don’t have anything else to do.
@@Totally_Descendants that again depends, as far as any kind of media goes. Also I can't make any good judgment since I haven't watched sailor moon before. Good point though, thank you for mentioning that. 👍
A lot of anime isn't for kids! My rule of thumb is that the age of the audience should match the age of the main protagonist. There are of course exceptions to this, but it a good place to start.
6:27 Disney be like:
“Of course, you realize this means war."
I know Daffy Duck says that but what Disney character would say that?
@@olvialee7221 Scrooge McDuck?
@@olvialee7221 Genie impersonating Daffy Duck?
Wow! Some of these topics I had no idea about! I remember the controversy around The Little Mermaid when it was released on VHS. On the cover of the case, King Triton’s castle looked like it was made with a bunch of p-nis shaped coral, and that Ariel may have shown a bit too much of her private areas in the film. Such scandal! 😳(for 1989 that is)
About Watership Down:
"The British Board of Film Classification is still receiving complaints about this movie four decades after its release, due to the board's decision to classify it U (suitable for all). The BBFC admitted in 2012 that it had "received complaints about the suitability of Watership Down at U almost every year since its classification". (from IMDB)
The thing about "Song of the South" being controversial for an idyllic master-slave relationship...At no point does the movie establish that anyone is a slave. It doesn't even say what period it takes place in, but based on the clothing worn by the characters and the fact that Uncle Remus is free to leave whenever he pleases, it's more likely to be during the reconstruction period after slavery was abolished.
It's still idyllic as the reconstruction period saw a lot of abuse towards sharecroppers, but at the same time, what would you expect from a kids' movie of that era? (other Disney movies of that period are also very simplistic in how they present conflict).
It's still a tough subject matter in today's world, but I don't think it's impossible to include it and have a meaningful discussion with a child about it.
THANK YOU!
People who complain about "Song of the South" probably never saw it, and if they did I doubt they'd still be awake by the end. Never mind that Uncle Remus is clearly depicted as smarter than all the white people put together, and it was the occasion for the first Black man to win an Oscar. It had two successful theatrical engagements in the 1970s (the height of the Black Power movement) and there was no outrage--if people didn't want to see it, they didn't.
Ratings were different back then. The movie Beetlejuice was rated PG and had sexually explicit commentary and acts. Had the F word in it too. I was 8 years old when I watched the movie.
120: One thing or two things DreamWorks and Disney has in common; underrated movies and movie awards
I was about 11 or so when I first saw Watership Down, my brother had it on VHS and he thought it was a good movie. It is a good film with a strong story, but yikes, it is NOT for kids at all. It's pretty terrifying.
With the rescuers, the shots with the topples photo was only in a very small amount of theatrical releases and that was not the one used for the vhs release, so it is very unlikely you’ll find it.
Watership down absolutely terrified me as a kid. Can't even watch it now as an adult 😖
Uh... How it affects you with rabbits and hares then?
if you think about , the title All Hell Breaks Loose would've spoiled the movie because that's what litterally happenened near the end
Judy Hopps: Nick ran out of the theater when we watched "Watership Down." I used it to prepare for patrolling the streets of Zootopia.
For many of the older films controversials, context matters...
I totally undertsand that these discussions (about racist or generally outdated concepts) absolutely have their place, but times were different. So I guess these movies still have their right to exist, but should be consumed with the background of their time in mind. Meaning maybe not showing them to kids too young to understand that they show bad standards that have been overcome (hopefully!) nowadays. Because it's not always only about entertainment, movies are a part of culture and art and still have a right to be. Erasing too much of the original but controversial elements is tricky too in my eyes, in the sense that they are in some way documents of their time. One would not go change lines of Shakespeare or Homer for ideas incompatible with our more modern views either. But as I said, one should watch these with the maturity to know that difference, so I understand that they are "adapted" for kid audiences.
Watership Down was not intended for children, with it's brutally accurate depiction of the sufferings of rabbits.
The crows aren't the only problem with "Dumbo." The main characters (including the equivalent of a child) accidentally get drunk, while an entire musical number plays around the idea!
Besides, the stereotypes used with the Indians in "Peter Pan" are arguably even worse!
Of course these animated films had scandals and controversies, after all every animated film has at least one or two.
And nothing about the "Fritz the Cat" movie being so hated by it's creator -- Robert Crumb -- that he killed the character off?
In Canada Watership Down was PG. We have a better Rating system in Canada than the USA.
It was the United Kingdom I’m pretty sure that gave it a g rating, also rating have changed so much, back in the 80s breast were allowed in pg-13 movies
I'm still traumatized by watching the 1978 Watership Down film from watching it with my grandparents. I also watched Song of the South and I will admit it is a very heavy undertone of racism but I found out the actor singing Zippity-Doo-Dah is from my hometown of Indianapolis, and it still is one of my favorite 1940s Disney movies and this is coming from an African American
I'm from Indiana too :)
Though an amazing work of film, Watership Down is disturbing even for an animated cartoon 😱
And the Fox and the Hound... In my opinion probably the most saddest Disney film. At lease Dumbo and his mother reunite at the end ❤️ Even though Todd and Copper parted on good terms, we know they will never again have the friendship they did when they were babies 😔
Also what kind of stories was this guy telling his children? If I remember correctly the writer said that he wrote the novel as a response to his children telling him that he should make those stories into a book the only thing I can think is what?
I cried during fox and the hound during certain parts. I haven’t watched dumbo in a long time and I will probably watch it soon. I am debating ever trying to find Watership down or whatever that movie is. It sounds terrifying and the little clip shown in the beginning makes me not want to see it.
@@malloryweeks3306 I can see children getting upset over those poor rabbits. Its definitely a mature animation. Even for a cartoon, they're are a few scenes that really upset me. Theirs another animated film similar style to Watership Down I keep hearing about. Its called The Plague Dogs. I've never seen it but I heard its disturbing as well 😔
@@cuteizombi6946 I know right!? Its definitely no Alice in Wonderland 🤣🤣🤣
@@SamanthaN92 for real though so many questions 😂
The line that was cut from Arabian Nights in Aladdin is ‘Where they cut off your ear if they don’t like your face / It’s barbaric, but hey, it's home’.
I'm surprised that the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (original animated version) isn't on here. Aslan getting shaved and later slain was horrible. 😱😱😱
And it was directed by Bill Melendez. The same guy who produced many Charlie Brown TV specials.
@@victorhernandez8723 Wow! I didn't know that.
I still love the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe. It’s one of my favorite movies. It is sad when Aslan gets shaved and then killed
Bear in mind that Aslan is a symbol for Jesus, and his treatment by the Witch and resurrection echo Jesus's crucifixion and resurrection.
@@sonyasandoval1477 that’s right
#10 was part of the reason I became someone who works in the Healthcare world.
I never wanted harm to come to anyone.
Fritz the cat imo is the definition of mature Animation. Turns 50 this year so let’s all honor the hell out of it for that
6: I don’t see why the NDA wouldn’t give this movie the rating the company wanted in the first place.
5: My brother read Antz to me at 9, and I was perfectly fine. A Bugs Life, however traumatized me as a child and is one of the few Pixar movies I actually don’t like.
4: Wait, people left during Fox and the Hound? I had no idea that this was happening during the filming of one of my favorite Disney movies.
3: What even is this?
2: Why was this banned again? No one was ‘owned’.
1: See 3.
I ran afoul of Watership Down when I was six. Was all excited that channel four was showing a cartoon movie and... Yeah. All I clearly remember now is my mom asking about an hour after it started (I lasted maybe twenty minutes I think) why I wasn't watching my show and I just told her I didn't like it. (In fairness, this was 1982 in the U.S. midwest, a time and place where it was indeed just assumed that 'cartoon' meant 'for kids.') I vaguely remember the T.V. station issuing a public apology a few days later. Apparently they had also just assumed and hadn't screened it beforehand, and I wasn't the only kid traumatized.
I had nightmares for years because of Watership Down. We still watched it a lot and it is now burned into my memory.
Rabbit 1 gets BRUTALLY murdered by a DOG, rabbit 2 gets beaten, and male gray colored scarred rabbit says " You see....the air to the van.... RUNS BLOCKED WITH DEAD BODIES! COULDN'T GET OUT!"
*YEAH and HOW exactly IS this movie FAMILY friendly* 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨
ALSO Me: *Woe to the SUFFERING of ALL kids whose parents had them watch "Watership Down."*
Edit: I'm SO glad that this movie WASN'T a DISNEY film.
I was probably 10 when I saw Watership Down, so not young enough to be easily scared, I turned it off during the terrifying cave in scene, and it STILL gave me nightmares, I was born in the mid seventies, so it's not even like it was because it was from a different era.
The old ones are definitely the most saucy!
117: Might be infamous animated studio rivals but Disney has 60 movies. For DreamWorks, they have 43 movies. Kinda hard to tell who’s the winner but I think WatchMojo should do DreamWorks vs Disney
Song of the South takes place during the reconstruction era which is when slavery was illegal.
It’s not about a master-slave relationship.
When Johnny’s in tears because his father left, Uncle Remus steps in to be a father figure and comforts him.
If I was a little boy in tears because my parents had separated, I’d want someone to comfort me.
Plus, Uncle Remus has recently reminded me of my maternal grandfather since they were both southern gentlemen.
Uncle Remus is one of my favorite characters
Something similar happened to me, as my biological father was a no-show, I was raised by my grandpa, and Uncle Remus reminded me of him a lot, so I really like that character.
@@melainatar Wow. Though my parents were always there, I was always close with my grandparents.
Especially with my maternal grandfather whom my family and I called granddaddy.
I was really sad when he died and when I hear Uncle Remus tell his stories, it feels like I'm with granddaddy again.
I'm surprised they didn't say anything about the original VHS cover of The Little Mermaid.
If you're wondering what the original lyrics that got changed in "Arabian Nights" were, it was, "Where they cut off your ear if they don't like your face. It's barbaric, but hey, it's home." Now you know why this was controversial and NEEDED to be changed.
As a kid, before I recognized the racial stereotypes, I was always relieved when the crows showed up in Dumbo. Everybody else (except the mouse) were such bullying a$$#0!3s to poor Dumbo, it was disturbing as a kid. It was such a relief when the crows showed up. They teased Dumbo, sure, but overall they were friendly to him. I recognize the problematic portrayal now, but back when I was a kid, I thought the crows were great. The only nice "people" in a world of douches.
As for Song of the South, I always think the biggest shame about Disney trying to remove it from their filmography, is the loss of the wonderful portrayal of Remus by James Baskett - who won a special Academy Award for his performance (which is also problematic, that it was a "special" award, due to his race). Unfortunately, it was such a warm and entertaining character brought to life by a talented actor, that will become lost due to the racially unacceptable overtones of the film as a whole. I don't know what Disney can do with editing, but it would be nice if somehow one could be saved for public viewing, while the other issues are discarded.
bull fucking shit you recognized the racial stereotypes as a fucking child
Saw it was a scandal to have arbitrary age limits on these things. Getting mutilated somehow less mature than topology.
I was 8 when Watership Down came out. My mother saw the bunnies and that it was a cartoon (to be fair, it was the 70s. Most parents thought cartoons with bunnies were for children. And it did have a G rating. Not at all sure why.) and we went and saw it. I still remember crying and having to leave the theatre after the scene with the dogs and the bunnies. As an adult, I understand the book was for adults and this movie was the 70s version of anime and meant for a much older audience. But as a kid, that movie traumatised me. I can only guess the ratings people did the same thing my mom did and went, "oh, a cartoon about bunnies. Must be for kids." and didn't even watch it. I still remember screaming when blood was flying and bunnies were dying. Yeah.
Now that were talking about Fritz the Cat I think I should mention that the original creator of the comic book the film is based on Robert Crumb actually hated the movie to the point where he was willing to distance himself away from the property as much as he could to the point where he killed off Fritz in an act of spite
If you have a chance, look up the history behind The Emperor's New Groove. Oof is there a story there.
def watch the sweatbox, it appears on yt every now n then
The first thing I’ve heard about of adult animation was when I saw The Simpsons Movie in theaters at a young age
I would hardly call that "adult."
I don’t know how Watership Down was ever a G movie. That scared me so badly it’s weird I was never afraid of rabbits! I’ve never read the book because I’m afraid it’s scary.
It's not. It's PG.
@@zacharysiple629 Back when it came out in the uk it got a U rating, in the USA it got a G.
It's only in recent years that the rating was changed.
The book is excellent. Read it
The book is aimed towards teens to adults. What we foreget is that not all cartoons are directed at kids. We see animation and think kids.
@@user-PuppyDan I mean in America it's PG. I briefly had it on VHS once.
Sausage party was genuinely one of the worst movies i’ve seen. You can always tell it’s going to be bad too when you go in to the movie theater and they give you a survey before the movie starts.
Yeah, little eleven-year-old me was pretty traumatized by what my parents thought was going to be a Cute Little Bunny Movie but instead turned out to be Lagomorph Bloodbath. However, what really p*ssed the Parental Units was my imitating the Seagull character and shouting "JA! JA!!" all the way home.
I have made it well into my adult life and I never got around to seeing Watership Down. I only keep hearing about how infamous it is. I guess I'm glad I wasn't exposed to it as a kid, from all the stories people have being traumatized by it. Maybe it's time to see what the fuss is about and cross it off my watch list.
I feel like South Park Bigger Longer and Uncut could have filled this whole list
~blinks slowly*
Bigger...Longer...UNCUT...
>.> Jesus holy Christ *TWENTY THREE YEARS* that joke slipped by me---
Don Bluth formerly worked for Disney before doing the MGM animated flicks?
I never knew that.
I wish more people understood animated doesn't mean it's child friendly.
The Batman and Batgirl hook up happened at the beginning of the movie. It freaked me out so much that I stopped watching the movie. lol
Whoevers reading this i pray that whatever your going through gets better and whatever your struggling with or worrying about is gonna be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day
Thank you! I really needed this today. Your post gave me a much needed boost!
The life of your dreams is standing just beyond the last comfortable step you will take
Thank you, but I wish I could actually believe it
Thank you. You too
Part of me pretends to view the stereotypical crows as just a different perspective. The circus was in the southern states, and the crows lived in that area. So it felt a bit fitting for them to have that accent, like Tito in Oliver and Co. being Mexican . Or Pepe Le Pu being a French Canadian.
Sometimes I think giving them that stereotype as something creative. I know I'm wrong and it is still racist, but I still try to see little positives to make the scene feel less bad.
You're not wrong. Is like the Indian people. They say "don't copy them they don't talk like that" but all Indian people from the call centers talk like that. Unless they are not from India.
@@BandidFourLife Indian or Native American?
Just embrace your racism.. its ok. I prefer my racist open and honest.
I view the crows as Southerners for many years. Glad to see someone agreeing with me on that one.
watership down is so trippy n dark n graphic still love it
I loved The Thief and the Cobbler when I was a kid. I didn't even watch Aladdin until I was in highschool
The crows in Dumbo are by far the most sympathetic characters.
Read the book "Watership Down." Loved it. So much better than the film for sure. The film is definately not for kids.
South Park bigger longer uncut was actually rated MA15+ by the ACB(the Australian classification and review board) in Australia
10, 7 and 1, Showing 3 adult animated movies..... WT....MsMojo..
I loved Don Bluth films as a kid: Thumbelina, The Secret of Nimh, All Dogs Go To Heaven, Rock A Doodle, Anastasia, A Troll In Central Park .. These movies never get the flowers they deserve!
I agree!!! I love them all!!! And Fern Gully, The Land Before Time, An American Tail, and Fivel Goes West!!!
Dude, I STILL love Don Bluth films! All Dogs Go To Heaven is to this day my personal favorite animated movie not produced by Disney. Of course, Disney produced a rip-off 14 years later which is a gem in itself, but it’s still not okay to copy off an animated movie that never got the attention it deserved.
Edit: Okay. I forgot he did Ferngully and LBT (Land Before Time)! This man deserves more oscars than Steven Spielberg!
I forgot about Fern Gully! Tim Curry and Robin Williams were pure genius in that film.
@@Totally_Descendants what movie is the rip-off of All Dogs Go To Heaven? I've racked my brain trying to think of it
@@karawardlaw4090 Monsters Inc. As I said, it’s an amazing movie in itself, but the fact in itself that Disney found a FAN-TAST-IC animated movie that never got the chance to shine that it deserves is not cool.
Edit: Also, I know that it’s technically Pixar, but was one of the first five, so they were still under Disney’s control.
'Watership Down' pisses me off so much. I can't freaking believe they had the ghaul to give it a G rating despite the fact that it portrays unnecessary animal violence and abuse.
Suppose you could also do a top 10 list of production nightmares of animated movies?
Such as Monster House. I still remember those nightmares
I'd imagine Belladonna of Sadness being on there too, with Mushi Pro's financial troubles.
There are two kinds of people to blame for sugarcoating Animated films to be made for Children or Kids:
MPAA and Nagging Protective Mothers who knows nothing about film demographics.
The same goes for the Oscars!
@@victorhernandez8723 Which goes a long way in explaining why Boss Baby and Ferdinand got nominated over A Silent Voice. Never forget, never forgive.
Watership Down.........definitely not for kids.
cars 2 should have been pg because there are guns, cars being killed
It’s probably because of that movie why most animated films are rated PG nowadays. I still honestly miss the time when animated films were rated G because nowadays, the G rating almost doesn’t seem to exist anymore.
Good point

114: 10 -Never saw it. Thanks to WatchMojo, I’m glad I never saw it
9 -Um, what?
8 -I wasn’t aware
7 -I can obviously tell it’s NOT for kids. I watched this and honestly I didn’t like it that much. Great cast I’ll admit but I don’t recommend it
6 -I’m not a South Park fan. I’m cool with Trey Parker as the voice of Balthazar Bratt in Despicable Me 3
5 -I’m sorry, what?
4 -Didn’t know that
3 -Didn’t know
2 -I can see why
1 -I know why
Antz and A Bug's life are completely different movies, Antz has a much darker tone
Obviously the studios thought they were similar enough to strategize when to release their movie. I personally prefer Antz. But you can't deny that they are pretty much the same idea.
When Universal bought Dreamworks animation, there was an animated Australian rock musical road movie about a bilby almost 3/4 finished. Songs by Tim Minchin with Hans Zimmer, all star Aussie cast. The new owners scrapped it, and ensured it could never be finished anywhere else by making the animation technology proprietary. We got a sequel to Boss Baby instead of Larrikins, and I will never not be salty about it.
Good thing Sony got the rights to Vivo when they did.
Most of my favourite animated films tend to be a tad controversial. Happy to see this list actually exists. However I do wish they mentioned HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME, CORALINE, PARANORMAN, SHREK 2, ISLE OF DOGS, PUNI PUNI POEMY, JUNGLE BURGER (SHAME OF THE JUNGLE), KEKKO KAMEN. or LE BIG BANG? THE SIMPSONS MOVIE even?
I’ve been blind to a lot of bad things of Disney movies and I was never aware at all. Disney made my childhood and I don’t need anything to say to myself “thanks a lot for the nostalgia feeling” I still love it, no matter how old I am
I'm a little surprised Pom poko isn't on the list since the raccoons have balls.
😆 the Let It Go comment in the honourable mentions just reminded me how Encanto unintentionally threw shade at Let It Go for losing its number 1 spot to We Don't Talk About Bruno when when Bruno says "let it rain, let it snow, Let It Go", as if he was telling Let It Go to Let It Go that We Don't Talk About Bruno beat it 😂🤣
Oh the nostalgia ! Fritz the cat is such a wonderful weird childhood memory for me.
115: Let it Go? That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard
Don't forget "Papa Can You Hear me" from Yentl being recycled as "Do You Want To Build A Snowman" in Frozen (see Deadpool 2)
Ahhh, Watership Down. NICE
Watership down is an absolute masterpiece. But it seriously messed me up as a kid. If people think that's bad, watch Plague dogs. That film makes Watership down look cute and cuddly!.
Indeed. Plague Dogs is very scary.Watership Down’s one movie I’d like to see.
WATERSHIP DOWN never disturbed me. Saw it quite late in my life- 11. Now, animation-wise, ELFEN LIED, SPEED GRAPHER, and on some level HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME due to its perceived touch on real issues.
With the level of animation that the current season is going with, this will be the most hyped and awaiting episode of 'em all.
Thanks
119: It’s DreamWorks. I checked. They have the idea first until Pixar did
