Decades Later, I’ve Got No Idea How These 1980s and ’90s Kids Animations Could Be So Dark
In fact, it’s important to note that not every movie produced during the ’80s and ’90s was somber or grim. For instance, classics like “The Little Mermaid,” “The Lion King,” and “Mulan” were released in this era too. While they did have sad moments, these elements weren’t the main focus of these films. However, there were many other movies from this period that flew under the radar, offering a darker or more complex narrative. Examples include “The Secret of NIMH,” “The Black Cauldron,” “The Brave Little Toaster,” and “The Last Unicorn.” Frankly, we could go on listing these lesser-known movies all day.
