Depression emotional Animated Films we grew up with
 

Well I’m down now, really low.

Last night Sarah watched the rescuers and she got a little up set with it, I watched it with her and remember feeling sad when I first watched it around 6 years old

Any way I got speaking to some of the guys in work about it and we started talking about other Animated films that depressed us as kids, after the chat I went on Wikipedia and searched the films mentioned most I had seen, and again reading the Plots I remembered the films effect on me as a child and how sad I felt watching them- Question is what the hell was the point in all the sad films with orphans moms dieing and people being separated for there families

This is some that came up

The Land before Time
An American Tail
The Rescuers
All Dogs do to Heaven


Can you add any?

Land before time :cry: Very sad films

Tarka the Otter
Watership Down :cry:

Starship Troopers :thumbsup:


....seriously though, i can't remember watching anything depressing as a kid. Whether i was shielded from it by my parents or not, i can't remember. I just remember watching Star Wars, Police Academy movies, and wrestling!! that's about it!!

you could add...

Watership Down

And the original adoptation of Lord of the rings... (scared the beejesus out of me)

I watched that the other day - never knew the bird swears
its very sad

Robocop :cry:

not animated dude

but yeah the start of that when he gets his arm blown off wasnt the best thing to see as a kid

Animal farm :cry::cry::cry::cry:

Alien

First time i watched that, and the alien burst out of his chest. I SHIT MYSELF!! (i was about 7, and i watched it on the sly)

Although, after watching the Spaceballs version of the chest bursting alien, it hasn't been scary since :thumbsup:

:drool:....NO, I MEAN :cry:

Not animated but "The day of the triffids" made me shit myself :o

G

is that the one with the psycho trees?

no thats Evil Dead isnt it? where the woman is raped by trees.

splinters in the axe wound would not be nice (i imagine) :cry:

The juddery way the monsters moved in the sinbad movies seemed scarier than the cgi stuff today :bored:

There used to be an animated animal kids tv programme on where a load of animals were in the woods, had a fox as a leader, cant remember the name but I watched the ickle hedgehogs trying to cross the road and one didnt make it.

That could explain why I am the way I am...

Scarred for life..all over an animated hedgehog.

Oh i remeber that, didnt it run for somthing silly like 50 shows befor they made it , and then when the did there was a spin off? and there was a magazine

animals of fathing wood? or somthing like that

Thats the f00ker!

Classic.

Anyone remember the kiddys tv programme with the hand puppet mouses, the big cow and the little ducks on the pond? Had some bloke in there too..summat like Dappledown Farm?

Amarzin'

Kids nowadays just dont have access to such classics. No knife crime in my youth, we were all to busy watching animals on TV

If you want disturbing animation - do a search on YouTube for "Salad Fingers".........very dark.

Watership down

Batteries not included

post man told me this made him cry as a kid
Lion King Simba trying to awaken his dead father.

The Incredible Journey - 1963 Disney movie about a labrador, a bull terrier and a siamese cat stranded when their owner moves, making a 200 mile journey to find them. Frightening, joyful and tearful all in one. A true great! :thumbsup:

oh ive seen that as well

see what a buggerd up childhood i had watching all this crap

Never Ending story when the hourse gets stuck in the quick sand and the kid is crying at him to get out was another one

heres one Bambi when he see's his mum get shot:cry:

Yeah man Lion King was a real heart string puller. BUT the sadness was diluted by the legends that are Timon and Pumba (I apologise if that wasn't their names, but I'm referring to the boar/warthog and the other thing lol).

Dumbo was really sad as well when his old dear gets taken away and a tear slides down her trunk :cry: and then she tries to reach out and hug him with it :cry::cry: but she can't :cry::cry::cry:.... Again, sadness later offset by his ear inspired flight and the ammo it gave us all, to rip the piss out of our big eared friends.

I also thought Ice Age was sad when Mannie looks at those wall engravings and it reminds him of those poachers who killed his mum and dad. AGAIN sadness offset with the stupidity of syd the sloth.

To conclude this lecture, the saddest cartoony films often are offset with humour or happy endings which maintain kids' enchantment with such films. :wub Best Disney film continues to be the jungle book... oh, whoop-e-doo, I wanna be like youuuuu, shap ee doobee do wap...

Yardy

Toy story

A

The Talking Parcel (1978), it was a Cosgrove Hall animated film (them what done Dangermouse and stuff) and it had werewolves in it an I were only 8 at the time an I shat myself an thinking about it makes me go all weird an I want my mummmmeeee :cry:.

Oh yeah, and I know its not animated as such but who didn't cry when ET died and he was lying on the bed looking kind of like a white dog-turd (which come to think of it you don't see any more, hmmm).

Fritz the cat was very informative when an uncle of mine let me watch it thinking it was a kids cartoon and it ended up being a hip cat in 70's clothes f***ing everything in sight and doing LSD :thumbsup:

One flew over the cuckoo's nest was heartwrenching when Jack Nicholson gets lobotomised at the end after having wanted to free the other inmates...

Er....:o!
