I have vague memories of watching an animated movie about Raggedy Ann & Andy as a child. It had some very freaky sequences, including what I remember as a giant blob made out of living candy...who wanted to eat Ann's heart.

Nobody else I know seems to recall this film.

I do remember it was on Nickelodeon.

Real film? Fever dream?

Sure I remember it. Especially the part where the main character said, "It doesn't do anything. That's the beauty of it."

I have a vague memory of it. Vague enough that I haven't the slightest idea what the name would be or even when I would've seen it, but I am reasonably sure that I have seen it. [Dont Know]

Dude...I haven't thought about this movie for years. But now it comes rushing back quite vividly...it really freaked me out as a kid. These kids I used to babysit for absolutely loved it, and even watching it with them as a teenager was a creepy experience.

Okay. After reading that synopsis, I remember watching part of it when I was 3. My sister was supposed to be watching me but was actually talking on the phone. I was so freaked out I started crying, which is when my mother came in, and turned it off and yelled at my sister...

I own this movie, my dad taped it off the air.

I ADORE it, but it does have images and sequences that make you think the filmmakers intended heavy hallucinogenic drug usage during watching...

I remember that one. It's almost as horrifying as Return to Oz.

Lol! I remember return to oz! That was with those robots, right?

Quote from the website about raggedy ann movie: "is a surprising amount of adult subtext attached to the sea captain character, with his long moustache going erect at the sight of Babette as well the area right above his groin visibly pulsing and swelling."

This one came along after I would have been watching this sort of thing, but the reaction of MyrddinFyre brings to mind "The Five Thousand Fingers of Dr. T" which was written by Dr. Seuss and came out sometime in the early/mid 1950s. I saw it on TV when I was maybe four or five years old, and it horrified me. I mean, I was brought up on science fiction and horror movies. Frankenstein and The Mummy and Dracula didn't bother me at all at around the same age, but this thing just scared the you know what out of me.

I did see this movie, but I was young enough that I don't recall a lot. I thought it was wicked cool, though.

I think some of us, namely me, who are emotionally scarred for life by some of the so-called children's programming. I remember my parents hyping Raggedy Ann & Andy as it came on TV. My grandmother for some reason thought I was really into Raggedy Ann & Andy and bought me the dolls, lunchbox, etc. to which I conveniently lost with in days. I was only 6 years old and into Lego and matchbox cars. What gave them the idea that these freaks of nature were appealing to an overly sensitive child? Then came Annie, the one with no pupils in her eyes. Then it was Charley and the Chocolate factory to which I sill have waking nightmares even as an adult. Even Lady Elaine from The Mr. Rogers Neighborhood was a very creepy character for me. I can only imagine if I were a child today what the likes of the teletubies would have done to my psyche.

Wow, I watched that. I don't remember being frightened by it (though I was oddly scared of certain other movies which shall remain nameless).
