Summary: Been searching for this movie!
Comment: I saw this cartoon when I was a kid. My parents use to go to movie rental place and I would rent almost everything just to have something to watch. Some people think this movie is the worst kid movie ever, and I guess it is looking at it from an adult perspective because it is sad but when I was a kid I loved this movie alot. It left a last impression on my mind. I use to get my parents to rent it over and over for me. I did not think it was any more weird than The Hobbit or Flight of the Dragons or Dot and the Kangaroo and Watership Down with the killer rabbits and that Dungeons and Dragons 1983 series that I also use to watch. I have been on a quest to find all of these strange movies on DVD just to add to an obscure collection of mine. Films like these fueled some of my artistic inspiration growing up. :-) I had not known that Ringing Bells was an anime movie. That explains it all. *lol* I don't think I would show it to my 3 year old. She would not like seeing the animals hurting other animals. I am disappointed that it is not here for purchase. I'm not paying almost $50.00 bucks for a used movie from the third party sellers either. I guess I will keep searching. :-)

Summary: A great movie
Comment: Ringing Bell is a wonderful anime film that tells the tale of a young lamb's journey through life, and the hardships he must endure. I first saw this when I was a small child, and I do agree that it is a powerful movie that stays with you. I had my child watch it at about 7 years old, and would not recommend it for much younger. I still cried the last time I saw it, but I still love it.

Summary: I still love this movie!
Comment: I have had this movie since I was a small child and I still watch it. It is a very powerful story and it makes me cry everytime. It was a bit too intense for my 5 year old daughter so you might want to take individual childrens tolerance levels into consideration before letting them view it. But to have something from childhood really stay with you the way this movie has for so many really says something about its quality. It resonates with something inside us, and I as so many others have stated will never forget it.

Summary: It stays with you
Comment: I saw this when I was probably 6 or 7 years old, and it's lingered ever since. People underestimate a child's capacity to appreciate drama, and give them shallow distractions such as teletubbies or whatever. From the fact that this movie's story has stayed with me ever since I saw it as a young child (and what better way to judge a movie than it's the long term impact), I'd have to say it's a great film.

Summary: Never Forgotten
Comment: Like most of the people in here, I saw this movie in elementary school, second grade I think, and I have never forgotten it. I remember it being emotionally stirring (something you dont typically get in sugared down childrens movies)... but not disturbing, the message was received and never forgotten. Even though I only ever saw this movie once, I remember the story.
I have been seeking this movie ever since, only remembering a movie with a lamb raised by a wolf, and that the movie was maybe called "Bell".
Highly recommended for the young and old
