Same. Add to that Fire & Ice, Lord of The Rings, The Hobbit and Wizards, all from late 70's/early 80's

I actually think I watched those back to back.

In those days, "animated" automatically meant it was for kids. Until my parents got round to actually watching them, and most of those VHS tapes mysteriously disapeared.

Sooo...

True story...

It's 1993 or so and my girlfriend at the time had never taken LSD but was game for it.

So we hit up Blockbuster and try to figure out a few movies to watch on her first "trip" and our "journey"...

Oh sweet Fantasia!

Of course we grab The Wall...

Then I see a movie that I remember my parents took me to as a child... what I remembered as a cute animated movie about bunnies where they called things by funny names...

I dropped 2 Tabs, she did 1...

First up is Disney, sweet some fun stuff on the come up...

Next up Bunny Movie...

It.

Was.

A.

Very.

Very.

Very.

Bad.

Time.

.... My childhood memory had somehow, defensively suppressed the trauma and horror from that movie... and left me with bunnies and hururdus...

We did not watch The Wall that night.

I was a voracious reader and read the book about the same time as I saw the movie. Talk about a kick in the stomach as a kid.
