A pig farmer gets stoned and hallucinates.

Gritty, scary, and gripping; a product of its time. Recommended both for real parenting and people who appreciate decent cinema. It's nowhere near the calibre of something like The Secret of NIMH - (1982 movie) or the like, but think gently in that direction.

Based on
- The Book of Three - (1964 book), by Lloyd Alexander
- The Black Cauldron - (1965 book), by Lloyd Alexander

Witches return from wherever and chase some kids who foil their plans to stay.

Big meh. It's absolutely made for kids; it's over-the-top pointlessness.

Trailer
Hocus-pocus, the magic words.

A boss girl discovers she is the child of an immigrant, and resolves to embrace her heritage.

Kinda boring but suitable for kids.

A mad scientist comes to collect an animal experiment, but it is sentient and has friends.

Pretty good. I feel like I missed a couple of movies explaining what the hell was going on with some of it, but it's still watchable.

Trailer
See also The Secret of NIMH - (1982 movie) in a sense.

Some refugee/immigrants experience racism or something.

This should have just been a low-budget cell animated made for tv-movie; who thought this would be a good idea?

I don't know how to describe this without spoiling it.

It's good because it's pre-woke and can handle difficult topics.

Trailer
Let's face it, this was likely inspired by Kimba the White Lion

A lovestruck girl makes a wish to enter into the world of a prince.

I'm forced to mark this as disliked if only for the fact that many many avoidable movie-quality mistakes were made: From dimness to grimness, this movie was not youth-friendly in the least.
