Why didn't they have kids movies like this when I was a kid?

I feel robbed as a kid now, when I was growing up all we had for movies was Oliver and the Dark Crystal. Pans Labyrinth has to be the most violent and bloody kids flick I've ever seen. Everything I've ever wished for in a kids movie that I've watched and thought "man they could of gored that scene up a TAD bit"...Pan's delivered. I must also comment on the amazing detail in the sets and period clothing. I watch a lot of movies, and have worked on a lot of editing before, so I do know what to look for, and I found few flaws.
When I attained a copy of the movie, I thought "oh great, a movie spoiled by subtitles..." But I said hey why not, lets see how this goes. And I was totally blown away by the movie.
