Wasn't there a scene where they went to hell? That was pretty intense for a kids movie.
Remember that time they made a movie called All Dogs Go To Heaven and the first thing that happens is a dead dog is cast from heaven and told he can never come back?
Loved!! Back then, you had to catch it when it came on. We didn’t have DVR, etc. I can still hear that cute little trill sound he made. Great memory- thank you!
12 yr old Me: “I guess what I’m saying is sometimes you have to be your own Rikki Tikki Tavi in life and grab that cobra and don’t let go until you tear the son of a bitch up.”
Principal: “And that concludes our 6th grade graduation ceremony for today.”

I think knowing who Rikki Tikki Tavi is is almost a Generation X password.
For years, none of my friends believed that The Black Cauldron existed. I saw it in the theater, and never saw it again until several years ago. Convincing my friends that it existed (before the internet) was no easy task.
The Black Cauldron had 12 minutes of footage cut down after negative test screenings, which included some heavily graphic scenes of a few henchmen actually melting and turning to bones after being attacked. Due to the censorship, it causes skips in the movie's soundtrack pic.twitter.com/8prGgU7PiE
In an episode I believe his fox was injured so he rubbed some medicinal grasses on the injury to help the fox recover.
I, being like 4, interpreted this as any grass that was different from regular grass. Armed with this knowledge I scraped my leg pretty good one day, sought out crabgrass from our lawn and rubbed it all over my leg. So instead of just a nice scrape, I also had puffy red skin from rubbing crabgrass all over my leg.
Was just going to suggest watching the last episode! Granted, it probably would have been traumatic as a kid, but seeing for the first time as an adult was pretty reassuring. What a way to go!
Anyone remember that show David the Gnome?

[This] movie that took place on the Ewok planet (not Return of the Jedi) where a little girl and her brother crash land and are helped by the Ewoks, and they get caught in a giant spiderweb, and one of them gets sucked under a lake and can't break the surface of the water because it'a like glass.
The first one (the one you're describing) is called Caravan of Courage. The sequel (and much better one) is Battle for Endor. Both are great movies. Just watched Battle for Endor a few days ago on Disney+.
When I was younger I saw the Ewok movies "Caravan of Courage" and "Battle for Endor" so many times I was speaking in Ewokese.
