Long ago my step brother made me rent this certain cartoon. I remember when watching it 'Why is this cartoon so sad?'. because when you're like, 8, you don't expect cartoons to be sad at all. Anyway, I vaguely remember the setting, I think the main charachter, a kid, was trying to be a 'ninja', but tha's not the defining thing about it.
Basically there's this factory-type place with an evil leader guy that turns all the parents of the town into stone automatons. Bit stone slaves. They're walking across a bridge and kid runs up to a pair of them and says "Mom, Dad?" How he could distinguish them, I've no clue. Anwyay, He ends up goig into the factory palce and killing the main guy (I think) returning them all to their normal state.
If anyone could help me identify this flick, I would greatly appreciate it.
