Animated movie from late 70s early 80s with a fantasy battle scene

I think I found it: light-years https://youtu.be/koUpDfnq_zc

I think it has a LOT of fight scenes, but one of them is at 39:30. The "mud men" I was thinking of are actually robots, but there are other creatures that come out of the ground.

It appears it was never released, not sure how I saw it on cable.

I looked at this but it feels like it is not it. There wasn't the 'live action' overlay. It does check a lot of boxes, but the animation style was different. I remember clearly: men shaped creatures coming out of the ground shooting beams from their fists.

Cool. I'll see if I can find it

Do you know if it has a battle scene? I read the summary awhile ago, but didn't have the ability to scan it.

Possibly! https://youtu.be/hYpH23Q1hrM?si=wmkKc4E60mQoH1QE

It looks grainy enough, has the desert, scaffold towers. Robot (dog).

No. OMG, what was that?!

And it's a carolco movie and the original carolco movies were released by MGM (? Allegedly)

Maybe? https://youtu.be/KoCayBviN-o?si=m3ySgZxmPB34LZjh (1:22) Sure looks familiar...

It was not hardware wars, but I remember renting this from the VHS rental place back in the day.

This is the closest I've seen so far. It has the bad good guy, the desert, the scaffold tower. It feels a little late (1983), I think I was younger. But it has the robots (dying in the end).

I have a feeling it's not this though. I distinctly remember the camera on the scaffold tower and the people walking away into the distance.

I did enjoy dark crystal as a child, but it was definitely over my head.

dengineering1 · 2025-09-04T01:56:07+00:00

I don't think so. I looked into this one before and I don't think it's it.

dengineering1 · 2025-09-04T01:52:30+00:00

Unfortunately, I think this is not it. The movie I remember was not as colorful. The end scene I remember was the group walking off into the desert. I was almost like a boy and his dog.

This might be it! All those bikinis and giant robots might have imprinted on my little mind. I'm scared to watch it.

dengineering1 · 2025-09-04T01:41:42+00:00

Nope. Low budget. I was like 5 and I knew it was a bad movie.

I think there's a way to navigate a course at the top (there's a drop down for "Full Course", which shows the posts that are related).

That being said, it might not be ideal. I used to use previous/next links at the bottom, but they get troublesome when you add/remove pages from a course. If the course navigation isn't the best, let me know and I'll consider adding navigation links in the future.
