Kind of reminds me of The Dark Crystal, Last Unicorn and Secret of NIMH


Who else thought so?

You know your right, it does.


"Jury Duty is my favorite movie ever"

It does have that dark fantasy tone to it.

Can't stop the signal.

Even the tone and style reminds me of it.

The '80s (especially early '80s) had some very dark animated features. My brother and I often remark that these films would probably never be released today. There were parts of this film and the Last Unicorn that completely freaked me out as a young kid. In the Last Unicorn, the scene of the skeleton saying "UNICORN!" was unwatchable for me after I saw it the first time.

I believe there was also a animated/claymation Mark Twain film that was utterly disturbing as well made during this period. Can't remember the name of it though.

Conquer your fear, and I promise you, you will conquer death.

But those movies were actually good. This was not.
