I saw a snippet of this by chance while flipping channels.

What does it represent more?

A) The nadir of Don Bluth's career

OR

B) The most unfaithful adaptation of literature-to-film ever

OR

C) A sign that Elvis and animation should not mix outside of Lilo and Stitch.

My son loves this movie.

Sure, crush his dreams, spit on his idol, and deny him his happiness.

I hope you are happy.

Wean him slowly...work him up to Thumbelina, then perhaps the original Land Before Time.

-Then- break out My Neighbor Totoro.

There'll be no going back.

This movie scared the crap out of me when I was a kid.

I really liked this movie. I'm not sure why. It was pretty weird and creepy. But I did like it.

I liked it too. But I never read the book, so that might have made a difference in my opinion.

See The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer.

I adore this movie [Smile] Well, the child in me who watched it growing up does. The adult in me recognizes its badness [Smile]

I much prefer The Secret of NIMH. Though, it's different from it's source material. Most films based on books are. And this movie holds a special place in my heart because it was the first DVD that I added to my personal collection.

It's more than just different, it creates a completely new story using only the same names (and some vague concepts) from the original book.

Annoying, as I find Robert O'Brien's surprisingly sophisticated tale of hyper-intelligent rats to be much more interesting than the Glowing Deus Ex Machina Amulet film. [Wink]

(Plus, Making Jenner into a mustache-twirling EVIL villain was so lame.)

I really like the bit with the Owl regardless. That's some of the coolest animation ever, if memory serves. I haven't watched the film in quite some time.
