The Secret of NIMH was my favorite animated film when i was a kid, and still is 43yrs later
@vinnart
"Fire and Ice" was and still is one of my favorites this genre. Definitely worth the watch if you've never seen.
@KitsuneHB
The Last Unicorn is such a masterpiece! And Christopher Lee even dubbed himself for the german version because he was able to speak german. :)
@DarkLorde
The 80s truly were a magical age for cinema!
@resistancepublishing
That rotoscoped fight scene in fire and ice with Darkwolf was awesome

People often think of science fiction and horror when they think of the Eighties, but there were also quite a lot of fantasy movies during that decade (Conan The Barbarian, Legend, Dragonslayer, Krull, The Never-Ending Story, The Dark Crystal, Willow). The Dark Crystal is my personal favorite.
@DragonKingX78
I miss the days when we got animated movies like these.
@DoorsInTheLabyrinth
these are all favorite movies of mine, particularly Last Unicorn and Flight of Dragons! The Black Cauldron got me to read Lloyd Alexander's Chronicles of Prydain which is absolutely amazing. I hated how much Disney sort of buried it for years. When I went to Disney World in the 90s, the ONLY remnants I could find were a couple animation cels for sale (of course I couldn't afford those!)

"Who are you?" "... An angel." "What's your name?" "Satan." "Uh oh." Most understated reaction to confronting Satan of all time.

"The Secret of NIMH" was Don Bluth's first foray as an independent animation producer, having been passed over for the top animation job at Disney... for a Disney relative. Said relative had been pushing "The Fox & the Hound" whilst Bluth had been recommending "NIMH". "The Fox & the Hound" was made with the full might of the Disney studio. "The Secret of NIMH" was (according to legend) made in Bluth's garage. You be the judge. (😄)
@allnamestakenlol
The Secret of Nimh and The Last Unicorn both were major punches to the gut for 5-year-old me. They are both masterpieces and have stuck with me through the years.
@Ashylerry91
Don Bluth is my grandfathers cousin, growing up with his art and movies is something I hold dear.
@angelotero7729
these older animations always looks great because they moved fluently and natural
@YeahManMillionaire
The Black Cauldron is definitely one of the most underrated Disney films. It's absolutely terrifying and yet totally enthralling. Could be seen as mature and dark at times, but that's what makes it so special
@gygolos4700
Half ht films on this list are my all-time favorite films. I have them on DVD! What a wonderful time to have been a child in the 80s!
@jasonleveck8546
The last Unicorn and Secret of Nihm were both great shows. The song in The Last Unicorn, sang by America, one of the greatest bands of their era, is magic by itself.
@BlastedMaster
I feel like I'm in an alternate universe with most of these movies right now. I was so in love with movies like 'The Never-Ending Story" / "Willow" / "Dark Crystal" / etc., that I'm completely blown away that in my nearly 40yrs on this planet I've never not once heard of most of these movies. My Mandela Effect alarm has steam blowing out the sides of it right now.
@CozyCoffeeLofi
I love the 80s and dark fantasy, those were the best times where best shows were made. Thanks for sharing !❤✨🙏
@GundamWarrior1
I would personally replace the Black Cauldron with Twice Upon a Time (1983) or Rock & Rule (1983) but a good list. It really is heartening to see someone else that shares the same love of this era of animation. The 70s and 80's were a ball of creativity for animation with the House of Rodent on it's knees.....if only they didn't recover.
