1:21 Good video. However, I think Don Bluth might be kind of offended with you referring to one of his masterpieces as "Disney." It's true the guy used to work for Disney, as you can see his name in the credits of some Disney films from the dark ages, but I think 'Secret of NIMH' was made after Bluth parted ways with the company. As a kid born in 1990, I totally agree, there were some animated films that scared me as a kid and today, I appreciate them for that.
Good catch, I'd always rather credit the real creatives behind something than the studio that produced it. For the same reasons, I always correct my friends when they give Bethesda credit for basically any game they've produced in the last decade
I think modern disney is so afraid of offending people that they went so far in the direction of being as inoffensive as possible that it circled back to being pretty offensive. so called "color blind" casting for example. People want to see black characters not a black woman cast as Ariel in a half-assed remake that treats her skin color as a gimick. For Example 2014's Annie while flawed in other areas did a really good job of establishing that Black Annie was her own character experiencing her own story that was just following the same basic plot of the original musical. They put a great deal of effort even if some of it ended up not being that good into making her feel like she was a new character who was written to be black. If you want to make a black version of a white character you have to go all the way you can't just cast a black woman in the role and say "she's black now brownie points pleeaasse"
It’s interesting to see the pendulum swing in real time to the exact opposite of what we grew up watching. Kind of sad really. I totally agree with your second paragraph, and I wonder if that type of thing will continue and get worse or we will see it sort of mellow out as time goes on. Like you said creating a “new character/story” with inspiration from the original is great, that’s how we can push creativity and move forward in some ways. But change for the sake of change isn’t always great and I hope Disney listens to people when they say they are sick of some of the ways they handle movies recently.
Same goes for DCOMs. Phantom of the Megaplex. Don't Look Under the Bed. Can of Worms. Some scenes from the Halloweentown series. Did these movies give give me nightmares? Yes. Absolutely. But I still loved them.
I wasn't allowed to watch nightmare before christmas growing up because it was too scary. Did I watch it at my grandparents house where they were no rules? Absolutely. I think 'scary movies' that are marketed more towards kids are often only scary if the parents let it be scary. I knew so many kids that loved scary movies and they weren't scary for them.
One Disney movie that scarred by dad as a kid was the banshee from Darby o gill and the little people (which ironically isn’t mentioned here). I personally don’t find that scary, but a lot of those old villains freaked me out when I was younger. Like Maleficent or Chernabog
That's fair.. I guess it almost seems as though they are trying to please the helicopter, put their kids in a bubble to keep them away from germs parents. And that is the issue I have. The movies they come out with now don't really feel like they have any substance

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the movie you mentioned (I’ll have to check it out)
@ it’s an old Disney movie from the early 60s. It’s about leprechauns and Sean Connery is in it
james and the giant peach has many things including a giant mechanical sea monster of death
@@jaydeejay4166 oh for sure, and nightmare before Christmas, but those are both old Disney as well
Our daughter (4) gets PRETTY scared during Frozen lol so idk what you’re talking about
Just imagine how scared the black cauldron would make her
Disney is for little kids why should it be scary
