Robert Zemeckis has served up some truly unhinged 'children's' fare in his four-plus decades in Hollywood, from the zany meta-fictional noir Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (1988), a fearless mash-up of live-action and animation, to the uncanny Yuletide spectacle of The Polar Express (2004), with its multitude of Tom Hankses rendered in hauntingly primitive mo-cap.
Both uniquely frightening films, though only one of them was designed as such.
