oh btw lisa, i too remember the dot movies. dot and the kangaroo was the first one, and then there were a few more…the ones i saw were dot and keeto (my personal favorite, where dot shrinks to the size of a bug and has adventures with the backyard insects), dot and the whale (dot meets a white whale and other sea creatures), and dot and the smugglers (where the series kind of jumped the shark, dot fights a group of eco-baddies smuggling exotic animals) awesome to see someone remembered these too

wow, amazing, these are all movies that have haunted me into adulthood. god, i love that you listed jack and the beanstalk, before this movie began making a comeback on dvd, it was extremely rare and nearly forgotten entirely except by people who watched on hbo or disney. dont know how it did in its country of origin, japan, but i am glad american audiences liked it enough to keep it from dissappearing. jeez and the last unicorn, all i can say is that peter s beagle is my favorite author ever and i never would have read him were it not for that movie. you rule

We must have grown up during the same time. You listed all of my top films.

Last Unicorn, Watership Down, The Hobbit, The Secret of Nihm.

Great site you have.

One of my most favorite kids cartoons from that period is called Dot & Kangaroo. I also love Mewsette – which was voiced by the late, and very great, Judy Garland. The only one that you talked about in your post that I haven’t heard of or seen is “Mouse and his Child”, which I’m interested to see.

Thank you for that walk through my childhood – I watched most of these movies with my dad, who passed away at the age of 44 in 1998 – to soon. It was a nice memory.
