d_aulnoyTalking about the Goblin Market and the Goblin King so much in the last few days has actually sent me into a nostalgic tailspin for the seventies Art Nouveau-inspired movies of my youth. Anybody want to watch a double-header of "The Last Unicorn" and "Flight of Dragons" with me one of these days?
Similarly:
What were some of your favorite movies in that same vein of early fantasy?
and
Am I the only person alive who saw the fake site advertising a "Labyrinth" sequel? Anybody know where to find it? It was rather charmingly pieced together ...

Date: 2005-09-23 11:02 pm (UTC)I guess there's also legend, although the legend/labyrinth genre seems a bit different from the animated fantasy genre. And the dark crystal is pretty sui generis. Jim Henson's "storyteller," maybe? Or the old "dungeons and dragons" animated series?
Hmmn...TLU is available on dvd from netflix, so with some planning I could get it.
Incidentally, the netflix TLU page is full of glowing reviews, and then this one:
My 6 year old daughter and 8 year old son loved the movie up until some evil witch placed this man between her breasts. I think that was very distasteful for a G rated movie for my younger kids to enjoy. They talked about how nasty is was to everyone. Disappointing because the plot was awesome but you know how things are...takes 1 rotten apple to spoil a basket.
...yeah, because your YOUNG CHILDREN should never see BREASTS.
Asshat.
Anyway, flight of drahons looks like it'll be harder to find -- maybe only on VHS...
...unless you own all these already, and this has all been pointless.

Geekery shared is geekery squared, dude. Feel the love.

Date: 2005-09-24 04:25 am (UTC)I do remember being incredibly impressed, although terribly lost (because I was SEVEN), when I saw Bakshi's LOTR...would also be into that.
And nostalgic for 70s anything? you barely count as having EXISTED in the 70s.... :-p
yes...i'm going STRAIGHT to hell for that one... ;)
