  If you know the lore about the voice actors and you will feel that way I’ll just go fuck myself, but the fact that it has so much emotional impact comes directly from a very painful tragedy, and I think we’d have to be fools to let the work be cast aside.

  Kids used to be raised on far more terrible stuff, Grimm’s fairy tales and all. I tend to agree with Don Bluth that you can show kids a lot of ghastly stuff and they’ll enjoy it, so long as you give them a happy ending.

  RIP Judith Barsi.

    His films are classics and still fondly remembered for a good reason, he didn’t shy away from the hard life lessons. Sure, we don’t always get a happy ending, but kids deal with death, sickness, loss and bad people all the time. They need media that shows they’re not alone.

      Kids are human people, and can experience the feeling of catharsis through art.

      Controversial I know, but there you have it.

  I only remember that I always wanted to watch it but never did.

  I watched it as a kid but don’t remember it at all.
