And mostly I think the whole tone of things has certainly shifted. Even if some of these movies contain some slightly "dark" elements most of them the tone is just a lot lighter in general. Like you could say Wall-E is a post apocalyptic movie but the light tone of the movie totally changes how you perceive that. The movies from that era I think were considerably more dark in the figurative and even more literal sense. I swear looking back at alot of those cartoons they look like Chiaroscuro. So once again I stand by my statement that there are a lot less dark kids films and one of the reasons I think that is there are a lot less independent animation studios in the game anymore. And then the ones that are around are making stupid sh1t like Gnomeo and Juliet. Last edited by Archduke : 06-18-2011 at 07:17 PM. |

Which is why I didn't mention it. Quote:
I guess it's also it's worth mentioning that a lot of the films mentioned in this thread aren't American films. Plague Dogs, Watership Down, Time Bandits, All Dogs Go To Heaven and Big Friendly Giant are all British. Felidae is german. Some of them are TV-films that never got a proper theatrical release. Granted, a lot of people would say that the way the British government handled their support for film industry back in the 90's killed a lot of the local companies. But if you search for modern family films outside of USA, you are going to find a lot more dark material than just by browsing through the latest, big Hollywood films.

![]() ^^ no dude, they were darker in the 80s. If you disagree, then clearly you didn't grow up in them.

![]() Definitely agree with Secret of NIMH, Neverending Story, The Dark Crystal, and Transformers: The Movie.
Anyone remember Time Bandits? That one was pretty f-ed up, too, especially the end when the kid's parents explode.

![]() That movie was dark. And as a kid it was weird experiencing the depressing overtone...
I recall feeling quite bummed out after watching it.
