I just love the art style. Feels so renaissance-esk, as well as whimsical and dark. Masterpiece in my opinion.
A really dark Disney animation, not the best example of a Disney movie but I liked it
Better than its reputation. Basically a Disney middle-earth movie
Pretty dark Disney movie with some Lord of the Rings influence. One of my favourites as a child.
Lovely score, fun characters and designs. It’s simple but feels of Last Unicorn, Fantasia and Bakshi’s work. Cult classic for a reason.
I really appreciate the interesting story, tone, and mood this movie conveys. It's definitely not your typical Disney movie!
Honestly, if they had been able to make the movie they WANTED to it would have been AMAZING, but instead we got that dumb dog or whatever.
I loved this! Watch it yourself before watching with kids though, might be a little scary for some, while other’s might be fine with it
Very whimsical, funny, good amount of scariness. Everything you need from a dark 80s fantasy
Disney should make movies like this. Who cares about the scaredy-cat kids anyway, tell them to stick to Cinderella or Barney then
