In fourth grade, my teacher made us watch this creepy, awful, creepy, dark, creepy, weird anime movie called "Spirited away".  It had nothing to do with what we were learning and it was horrific. I knew nothing about anime at the time and its weirdness took me completely off guard. I had nightmares for months after that.

I saw parts of that movie years ago, when I was 6, I think. It creeped the crap out of me, and I didn't really want to eat anything for the next few days. Apparently, it's Roger Ebert's favourite animated film...

And sadly, I've seen Bakshi's Lord of the Rings. It's quite hard to believe that Jackson based his magnificent trilogy off of this doggie doo.

Spirited Away is a very interesting, but at the same time great film IMO. Sure, the whole parents-turn-into-pigs sequence is...well, I wasn't very excited at first either. But it's actually quite an honored anime film, which I wasn't aware of when seeing it. It is partly very frightening, but the animation is amazing, and the creatures in the film are very innovative.

I dunno,

"The Chronicles of Narnia, The Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe"?
*Some kids are evacuated from London during WWII because of the German bombers.
*They are forced to live with their mean...Grandma?
*The go inside a cabinet they weren't supposed to open and end up in Narnia.

Also, kids from cities like London where evacuated and sent to random people in the countryside. They didn't have a choice and it was to keep the kids safe from the bombs. The people in the countryside had an incentive because they got extra rations.
