Watership Down.
Was visiting relatives and we rented movies from a tiny video store that didn’t have a lot of options or kids, so we got that and Crocodile Dundee.
Dundee was fun. The bunnies were less so.
My husband is still scarred by that one.
Watership Down was what traumatized me on seeing blood in cartoons. Cartoons and blood just…dont mix.
In my mid-teens, after Saturday Night Live they showed Fantastic Planet on Night Flight. That was an experience.
I watched that on acid… Wow what an experience. Highly recommend
Check out Gandahar. Anyone who thinks Star Trek has the most messed up time travel plotlines needs to watch this.
The Last Unicorn
Captain Condom
The lord of the rings cartoon. I still don’t know wtf it is.
That’s just Ralph Bakshi movies. Try Wizards for some real wtf.
There’s another animated Hobbit besides Bakshi, which isn’t bad. Not scary though.
Wizards had the best ending of any movie I’ve seen to date. It just comes out of fucking nowhere.
I love Bakshi’s LotR and Wizards but I think his best movie is American Pop. Not as WTF as Wizards, but it’s so epic!
I have a soft spot for Bakshi movies but I haven’t seen this one. I will have to check it out.
I think my favorite is Heavy Traffic. It feels like they figured out most of the production problems with Fritz by the time they made it, but still haven’t run entirely out of money like with Wizards.
The Last Unicorn. Runner up, The Rats of Nymn.
The Secret of Nimh is one of my favorite movies.
I thought that was “The Secret of Nickel Metal Hydride” for the longest time.
National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)
Pretty much any British children’s animation from the seventies.
The most hauntingly memorable was a weird mid-century Donald Duck piece of math propaganda. We watched it in school.
Donald Duck in MathMagic Land. Not scary, but odd.
What was the message it was trying to propagate?
I think they were just trying to promote math. I always thought about it later in life as I tried to drunkenly calculate pool angles at the bar.
“Dammit - Donald tried to explain this when I was 10! Why can’t I remember the details?”
i loved that. should do a whole series through calculus.
Danger Mouse - I think the consistent 4th wall breaking, kidnapping narrators, and sense of humour as a whole had an effect on my from a formative age.
Monkey Dust - the cartoon that made it clear to me that cartoons weren’t not at all nesseccarily safe for kids. I was too young to appreciate it at the time, it was too disturbing for tween me.
Sealab 2021 and Excel Saga both crazy animations that I found easier to digest about that time, too.
Watership Down, other folks have already mentioned.
Quads was fucking wild. I remember watching it in between Undergrads and the Oblongs. The wonders of having both parents work night shifts.
Watership Down.
For me it was probably The Head.
I really liked Duckman as well.
Also, the early Beavis and Butt-Head
True classics, haha.
Mid-90s, I used to stay up all night long on Fridays, watching weird cable access shows and infomercials. There was a Highlander: The Animated Series cartoon that came on around 4AM. No one ever believed me when I tried to describe it.
Invader Zim
The Brave Little Toaster. It’s a bit endearing until the LSD trip goes bad.
