I only watched again recently, after many many years. I had forgotten how dark the film was in parts. Wonderful conceptual design and visuals throughout and was impressed by the film, when first released. Loved the ending shot, with the lush transformed world and the beautiful crystal palace in the background.
I think the film pushed the envelope, with what it could get away with for a "family film" and being done with puppets, it somewhat lessened the impact of the scenes. The assaultive disrobing of The Chamberlain, could be tantamount to attempted rape. It was also a shock when Kira got stabbed and died, as she was such a lovely and brave character. However, I knew that she would be brought back to life, so I wasn't that distressed.
Jen: Wings? I don't have wings!
Kira: Of course not. You're a boy. -

When I was a kid, I was sad to see Kira's mother get killed by the Garthrim. Very disturbing scene where the Garthim yanks her offscreen as her daughter watches in horror.
Positive thinking and positive action add up to results! -

The kidnapping of the slaves and the extremely traumatic stealing of their essence. I felt so much horror and pity as I watched the slave's life force being taken.
I think probably this. It's the part that stuck with me.

The kidnapping of the slaves and the extremely traumatic stealing of their essence. I felt so much horror and pity as I watched the slave's life force being taken. And then Kira's!
This. It was almost disgustingly creepy.
