Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

This was one of my favorite movies as a kid, and I had no idea at the time that it was so good. Coming back to it as an adult, it holds up extremely well!
Some fun facts;
There were some animators who worked on this movie that went on to found Studio Ghibli.
Peter S. Beagle did NOT care for the idea of America doing the music until he heard what they were doing and decided he liked it. (Got this from the commentary track, where Beagle comes across as a truly cantankerous dude who was surprised several times at how much he liked the movie)
The drunken skeleton is voiced by Renee Auberjonois, so every time I see Odo on DS9 I hear him say "Now THAT is WINE!"
Schmendrick was originally supposed to have been a famous wizard's apprentice who saw potential in Schmendrick, but knew he would need longer than a lifetime to live up to it, so he cursed him to be immortal until he became a great wizard in his own right.
This movie was one of the handful of VHS tapes I had on a loop as a kid, along with Labyrinth, Stand By Me, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit. My childhood movie selection fuckin' ruled.
