    What? We loved watching the movie as kids and for me it was a beautiful fairytale with some action. I never thought it was scary or anything.

    Might be because in Germany fables tend to be on the more drastic side. I still think it’s a great kids movie, on a similar level as The Last Unicorn or The Labyrinth for example.

      The skeksis using the crystal on the gelflings was kinda fucked up. That being said, it’s nowhere near as messed up as Return to Oz. Mombi and the Wheelers.

        The one thing that broke me as a child when it comes to movies was Watership Down. Damn that thing should be 18+

          I didn’t see the movie until I was an adult, but I read the book as a 9 year old and loved it. If anything it’s gorier than the movie!
