🌞 FANTASY SATURDAY MORNING MOVIE time! 🌞Welcome to our first ever Saturday movie! We thought it would be fun to try something new and give you the gift of a fun filled Saturday morning, just like when we were kids! You wake up early and grab a bowl of your favorite breakfast cereal, plunk down in front of the TV and settle in to watch some kind of awesome show. Jordan's favs were Looney Toons, and The Real Ghostbusters. I had a retro cartoon channel that I looooved, so I watched Spider-Man, Transformers, X-Men the Animated Series, and pretty much anything else awesome you can think of. 😎👌🔥 ⭐ I'm so curious... what were all of your favorite shows!!

A couple notes about this movie: Warwick Davis that plays Willow plays THE Ewok, Whicket, in RETURN OF THE JEDI. Val Kilmer was married to Sorshia/Joanne Walley. General Kalle was a Darth Vader styled character from George Lucas and was played by an actor that was in all three Indiana Jones movies.

John W Foster

Because you mentioned the scenery so many times, you might add the 80s fantasy movie Krull (1983) to another fantasy movie poll. It is a science fiction/fantasy movie that also has that "fantasy book" feel of going to lots of differnet locations.

Simone's Coconut Squire

I believe the animal form you didn't recognize is a Possum (Not to be confused with the North American Opossum which is commonly referred to as a 'possum, Possums are an Australian animal. I could be wrong, but I'm like 85% sure.

Simone's Coconut Squire

I feel like there's so much more of this world to explore that they could do a 9-hour LOTR-esqe remake and it would still be awesome.

Another favorite! I love that Warwick Davis finally gets to mostly just look like himself finally and be a hero in his own skin. He has such a robust career, but hardly ever uncovered by an elaborate costume or makeup. Those mentioning Krull are spot-on that you would love it as well. Definitely Krull, not Kull the Conqueror. XD A couple of very nice surprise cameos in there, and a traditional 'rescue the damsel' type story dressed up in super-weird vibes, technology and magic.

The Dingo

There official canon sequel books penned by Chris Claremont (arguably the best ever writer of X-Men comics ever).

The Dingo

I only read the 1st book but I enjoyed it

For me, I would definitely have to say that my favorite show to watch on the weekends was Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman, and eventually, Kousoku Sentai TurboRanger. My older brother would record them so that I could watch them on the weekends. Dragonball Z would air on Wednesdays and Sundays, if I remember correctly, and EEEEVERYONE in Misawa was obsessed with it. Most of my American and Japanese friends were even more into a show called Slam Dunk, though. (I understand this nowadays, because I have an incredibly deep affection for the Volleyball-oriented anime, "Haikyuu!!"). We also had some American shows in Japan. Batman TAS chiefly among them. This series would eventually go on to become a sort of animation "religion" for me. The older I get, the more fascinated I become with how much thought was put into it. Not to even mention Superman TAS, Batman Beyond, Justice League and JL:U. Hell, even into my late 20's, Young Justice was blowing my mind with how gripping the storytelling was!

After last weekends 80’s fantasy pick to this wonderful film I had to become a patron and join in on your full length watch alongs. It’s so much fun to see new gens being introduced to your faves; and the 80’s dark fantasies are so unique, creative and will stick with you. They didn’t shy away from dark topics or grit in kids films or cartoons. All of these movies were a large part of my childhood and they are cult classics for a reason. I hope the poll included these films or I highly recommend: Legend (1985) a true tale of good vs evil 😈, The Secret of NIMH, and Gremlins. Another rec that is a trippy experience is Return to Oz (1985) starring the actress that played Queen Bavmorda.

I don't disagree with that! I just think it is so unusual that it's worth taking a look at, but there's no doubt as to why it has remained obscure, even after getting a bigger following years down the line.

I'm so glad you're watching with us!! ❤️ Legend was indeed on the list, so that's coming out this month. And we actually released Gremlins a little while back, so it's in our catalogue of movies!

MaplenutsReact

Oh awesome!! I love learning what you grew up watching!

VirtuallyVeronicka

Nice, I’ll look for Gremlins! FYI, you really can’t go wrong with any version of Legend, but there were (4) versions released. IMO I rec watching the US theatrical cut (89 min) with the Tangerine Dream score, however the Director's cut (113/114 min) featuring Jerry Goldsmith's score is equally great. So eventually check out the other because some scenes don’t make it into the other versions. 😉
