This is and I think shall always be my favorite Disney film. John Hurt voices the villain brilliantly and Gurgi is awesome.

Loved this movie as a kid and it frightened the hell out of me (like it did to every kid I guess). Watching it all those years later, it's still as scary but I didn't connect to the story or the characters as much. However, at the end of the movie I mainly felt the nostalgia of watching this with my sisters when I was young so I can't give this lower than 4 stars hihi.

The movie was far worse than I expected. The main character had very bad decision making and poor voice acting. The main villain was very lackluster apart from the voice acting and definitely didn't have world ending power as everyone claimed. The movie is heavily carried by the beautiful animation and setting.

Perhaps the least interesting thing Disney has ever made. A genuinely fantastically dark and moody color palette and style simply can't make up for dull world building and flat out unlikable characters. This apparently almost made Disney go bankrupt, and while it's certainly not one of the worst things the studio has ever made or anything, I can't blame audiences back then for not giving it the time of day, because frankly, I wouldn't have either if it weren't for this marathon I'm on.
