Reviews like this are exactly why I subscribed to this channel. You have a perspective on media that I find unique and refreshing.

That's how the world can be if we just wanted Why isn't it that way, do you suppose? Maybe 'cause no one's concentrating on it Just give it love and kindness, you'll see how green it grows

This is one of those movies I saw once as a kid and then never heard or saw anything from again, so you start to doubt if it was even real. Crazy to see it pop up in my recommendations like this

Definitely going on my watchlist

Don Bluth himself wasn't a fan of his own films he had made in the 90's. He admitted that him and Gary Goldman had too many cooks in the kitchen and had hired the wrong people to write for his films. He said quote "We tried to hurry, and hurry to get work for the staff, and I think the picture suffers when you do that. Had we'd been doing more movies with Steven Spielberg, I think he would make sure a good script happen, before we ever started." I grew up watching Troll in Central Park, and when I was a kid, I enjoyed it. Looking back now, I recognize it's really one of Bluth's weaker films, and I much prefer his films from the 80's like the Secret of NIMH, An American Tail, Land Before Time, and All Dogs Go to Heaven.

I think the end result is what matters. The folks behind "Road to El Dorado" famously thought it was a mess, too

@@AddyLovestar Except alot of Don Bluth fans, including myself, all agree, TICP is Don Bluth's worst film.

After all the negative stuff I've heard about this film, mainly from reviews by the Nostalgia Critic and PhantomStrider, I wouldn't have imagined I'd see a review of this film that was positive. At least in terms of its overall message, and how it is conveyed. Color me surprised. How about a review of Rock-a-Doodle? I actually liked that movie, even though it really doesn't make that much sense.

I'll give it a watch next time I pick an animated film to see with my room-mates

Might see this movie

I just watched the review and I couldn't help but laugh a little. Because all of Stanley's love has lead to an ending best described as "apocalyptic." With all the plants growing over literally everything, it's ultimately up to fridge logic to figure out "Oh, a lot of humans were killed by all these pretty flowers, and Stanley doesn't care!" Nor did the creators, since they clearly wanted to just gloss that over and have their happy ending.

I mean, I think it wasn't meant to be interpreted literally.

@@ShinoSarna Probably not, but when you read the ending as a growth of love, but have apocalyptic imagery, the end result is a message of "love kills." And that's just funny to someone as sick and twisted as me.

It's deliberately confronting and fantastical symbolic imagery in a film full of deliberately confronting and fantastical symbolic imagery. I think if one interprets it in good faith, it's fine

I love you
