Never going to watch it again!
I can't believe how depressing for me to watch this. I feel shy about this movie and I can't watch it on the internet because of Princess Eilonwy. She overwhelmed me throughout this entire movie. Um... just never mind. All I'm going to say is that I will not see this movie ever again. That's all.

I loved that movie. The characters weren't perfect, they made mistakes and stuff. (most of the Disney characters are too perfect.) The villain was awesome and serious. And it didn't have any songs.

Not good by any means, but clearly a turning point for Disney. After the acclaim for Don Bluth's The Secret of NIMH, Disney entrusted the new generation of animators almost entirely. While a failure both at the box office and artistically, it both changed Disney policy and helped mature the next generation of animators, who would later lead the Disney Renaissance of the 90's. There is some nice use of colors, too.

I like this movie. It may not be like the classics, but still good in its own right. I wish it would have been successful, but who cares? Very scary scenes not for toddlers. I reccomeded it

Best Disney film ever! But very dark...
This is my all-time favorite disney movie. The horned king is my second favorite animated villain (my most favorite being sharptooth in the land before time). I heared that it was the first animated Disney film to be rated PG, and indeed it is quite frightening, so parents should keep that in mind. I love that it is not a musical, I love the comic reliefs Gurgy and Creeper, I just love everything. 5 stars!
