An absolutely perfect film. I've viewed this movie MILLIONS of times, and could not find a single flaw with it. Don Bluth once quoted, "Kids can deal with sad qualities in movies as long as you attach a happy ending to it." Well, this quote is completely true. Most of this movie is dark, starting with the first 30-minutes. It's even been known that many of the scenes with the T-Rex were cut out because of apparent scared feelings left to children. It's just genius to think you'd include DEATH, PERIL, and every other dramatic element in a animated, G-Rated movie. The movie isn't always dark though. Much of it is very faith related, and teaches a valuable moral that sticking together and helping each other, can pay off.....whoops. The real lesson was.....
See? The movie teaches so many lessons, like to stay faithful, stick together, to keep moving on in life. I could list twenty of these. Don Bluth was, and still genius. I'd like to think that he knows how to connect animated movies,a nd give interest to both kids and adults. I still watch this, and I've been out of college for 8 years. When I was a kid, I watched this movie with my mom all the time, and she found it mildly interesting. I think when you can peak interest to both children and adults, and yet make it dark enough and light enough to balance it so it would get enough interest.
Unfortunately, the second movie onward weighed on on the kid factor, making this the best of the.....1...2....3...
Oh yeah, 11! This seems to be one of the many movies Don Bluth directed that weighed the kid friendly animation factor, to the dark, adult factors. That's how perfect Don Bluth directed this movie. I also want to make a honorable mention to Judith Barsi, who was taken from us much too early, as her father was drunk, and found out his wife was leaving him, and then shot Barsi and her mother.
