I loved this movie as a kid. It gave me horrible nightmares.

I always wanted to watch that as a kid … but I also didn’t which is why I’ve never seen it.

Yeah I saw this as a kid on TV. I think I was gone alone and it really freaked me out but I couldn’t turn it off.

Well, you saved yourself some childhood trauma. Still a fun watch, but as an adult, you may want to “enhance” your experience by whichever preferred means.

Goddamn it fuck this movie so fucking much. I hated that I was forced to watch it so in my memories it’s even worse lol

This is from The Never Ending Story, Op’s pic is from the Dark Crystal isn’t it?
Or are you just adding this to the trauma pile?

You’re correct on all counts.

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 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+

That movie was amazing. It was like a fever dream. Me and brother watched it at least a thousand times.

I think everyone owes it to themselves to experience it. One of my best friends waited until a couple years ago to finally see it. She was terrified, but still thinks Fizzgig is one of the most adorable things ever. Which he is. How can you not love this face?

Possibly controversial opinion, but experiencing and processing fear, loss, sorrow, and other difficult feelings is a vital part of growing up. Obviously we should be doing everything in our power to prevent kids from experiencing actual trauma, but introducing them to things which are inherently safe but might take some time to process and reconcile (such as a kid’s/family movie with some challenging scenes) is a good thing, of course within reason and while being respectful of their autonomy and consent
