Animated Wonders: The Animated Flicks That Hit Hard

from The Films That Ruined Us · host Katy Cowan & Miles Watts

Some films are just for kids… until they completely wreck us. In this episode of The Films That Ruined Us, we revisit the animated classics that moved us, scarred us, and have lived rent-free in our heads ever since. Miles takes us through the childhood trauma of Watership Down — a deceptively cute tale of rabbits that quickly turns into a harrowing survival story. Meanwhile, Katy shares how Pixar’s Up shattered her emotionally within the first ten minutes, then somehow kept going. Join us as we explore the animated films that proved cartoons can be just as powerful — and devastating — as any Oscar-winning drama.
