What do you guys think is the creepiest and most disturbing thing you've ever seen in a Disney animated film? For me, it's a toss between the "Donkey" scene in "Pinocchio" and the scene where Ariel's take splits into a pair of legs in "The Little Mermaid". But which scenes in these supposedly "innocent" and "child friendly" Disney cartoons gave you nightmares for days on end?

*Even though I'm still kind of young, I grew up watching classic Disney cartoons.*

BAMBI'S MOTHER!!!!!!!

There were so many of them for me. I always found the violent/scary parts too upsetting. I never could watch Disney movies. If I ever have kids, they're not watching them.

I'm also thinking Mufasa's death in The Lion King. I was baby-sitting the 1st time I saw this movie, and I'm thinking this is a kid's movie??

The death of Bambi's mother was so sad. As was Mufasa's death in "Lion King". I also recall a very oddly sad scene in "Sword in the Stone" when the kid and the old man were turned into squirrels and this one amorous female squirrel came on hard to the boy (as a squirrel) then he turned human again and the little female squirrel ran up a tree and sobbed. For some reason, that scene cuts me up. And I'm a guy.

I was 4 years old when The Lion King came out, and when I first saw it, at that age it was very unexpected that Mufasa died. You were suppose to think, he's gonna save Simba, and be a hero. But that didn't happen.

Also, the donkey scene in Pinocchio, it was so off the plot that they turned into donkeys, and the children were screaming and crying. But that was in 1940, and at that time, the Disney films wasn't suppose to be for children. But with the time, that changed.

Bambi's mother and Mufasa's death - no doubt. Lucifer the cat falling out of the high window to his death in Cinderella was pretty creepy, too - even though he was mean. :eek:

Though I haven't seen the film, but saw reviews and parts of this film..."Fantasia/2000".

The scene that disturbed me...? Donald Duck helping Noah. I'm sure that there may have been helpers for that boat that died in the Great Flood because they called Noah 'crazy' and all that (they even had Donald Duck laugh at Noah when he sees nothing but sunshine...the same sun where Donald Duck was nude sunbathing and tell me why the hell would ducks sunbathe and Noah spotted Donald Duck nude sunbathing)? Now I'm no bible-thumper, but that part of the movie made me want to boycott watching any Disney movie after 1997.

And another thing...why "Pomp and Circumstance" for the song? It's too much of a Graduation Song for a retelling of Noah's Ark! What next, Bugs Bunny being a helper for Jesus?!

WTH?! A cat died in "Cinderella"? I've never seen "Cinderella" before, but an animal actually fell to its death? Even if an animal is mean, or animated, I still have a hard time seeing it get killed. I dunno, maybe it's the animal lover in me. The "falic" on the cover of "The Little Mermaid" freaks me out to this day. And is "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" a Disney film by any chance? Because that movie disturbed the heck out of me as a kid.

Yes, that was Cinderella's stepmother's cat, who was almost as evil as she was. :eek:

I don't think Lucifer died, I think he just fell.




As for me, I agree with the death of Bambi's mother, the death of Mufasa and the scene in The Sword and the Stone.

I also have a hard time seeing Todd's mother get killed in The Fox and the Hound, the scene at the pound in Lady and the Tramp, Dumbo visiting his mother after she has been caged up, When Madusa tells Penny that no one would want to adopt a homely little girl like her in The Rescuers, and as strange as it sounds the part in An Extremely Goofy Movie when Max leaves for college and Goofy goes upstairs and sits in his room, holding his stuffed bear. Oh, and don't even get me started on Mickey's Christmas Carol :(

Malificent's turning into a dragon in Sleeping Beauty gave me nightmares for a long time. The Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland and King Louis in The Jungle Book both freaked me out. Yeah, I know they weren't meant to be villians, but I still think there's something kind of sinister about both of them.

And then just about everything from The Black Cauldron. I was waaay too young when that movie came out.

But for me, the most disturbing scene by far (and I can't believe I'm the first person to mention this) is "Pink Elephants on Parade" from Dumbo.

My favorite Disney Flick is "The Three Caballeros". Sure, it may now be snubbed because of the Hispanic Stereotypes, but that flick is almost an acid trip, I wonder what was in Joe Carioca's cigars? (And known fact...it has the most scenes where a cartoon character smokes. I wonder how Britain censored that film)?

The donkey scene in "Pinocchio" tops the list for me. Especially when Lampwick turns to face Pinocchio and says "What do I look like...a Jack-ss?!" and he has the head of a Donkey. And then when his hands turn into hooves and he cries for his mom and then starts beying like a donkey. And also when Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket go into the sea looking for Gipetto, talking and stuff without once coming up for air. That freaked me out. Also the whale scene. A number of scenes used to frighten me in Disney films, which is why I was never too crazy about Disney movies. Even the cartoon shorts with Mickey and the gang used to disturb me at times. But Don Bluth cornered the market on disturbing cartoons. I remember crying over "Secret of NIMH" (or, whatever it's called), "An American Tail" and "All Dogs go to Heaven". My alltime favorite cartoons are the Bugs Bunny/Daffy Duck ones, because they're so funny and they often have double meanings.

I have two scenes, which have bothered me. The first one is from "The little Mermaid", when Ursula takes Ariel's voice. I always found it creepy, that you could see Ariel's voice, in the form of a white ball, leave her throat. The second one is from "Hercules", when Pain and Panic give baby Herc that mortality potion. I always found it creepy to see the baby's god glow disappear. But maybe I'm the only one, who feels this way about those two scenes.

It's starting to get somewhat noticed again.

Recently Walt Disney World revamped their ride in EPCOT Center's Mexican Pavilion calling the new ride "Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros"

The former boat ride used to be called El Rio del Tiempo (The River of Time) and it was replaced in 2007 with a Three Caballeros theme.

Not much of the ride has changed but they added in Donald Duck and references to the movie.

Two scenes from the Hunchback of Notre Dame come to mind (spoilers)

The beginning when Frollo causes Quasimodo's mother to die and almost drops Quasimodo down a well.

When Frollo sings "Hellfire", he's obssessed with Esmeralda and one of the lines in the song is "She will be mine or she will burn."

I first saw this film when I was about 11 or 12 and even then I was sort of taken aback about how intense it was.

Yeah, THOND is one of the most intense Disney movies, one of the most mature ones. Even most of their live-action movies are tame in comparison. I even remember someone at another forum wondering how they could think, that the novel by Victor Hugo would be suitable for adaption into a family movie. Well, they couldn't do it without being more intense and mature than usual.

Very embarrassing but I had to Google "Lucifer" because I didn't get the reference. Found this thing on Wickipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucifer. Interesting.

Anyway, I watched Cinderella tonight and aside from that HORRIBLE stepmother the scene that disturbed me was when the king found out that the Grand Duke had let Cinderella leave the ball at midnight. The king is chasing him around the room with that knife! Yikes! At one point he even holds it under the Duke's throat! Creepy!

The scene with Sleeping Beauty in the woods at night and the trees attacking the prince are creepy as well!

I bought it on DVD at Costco along with another movie and gave the other one to my mom. My copy has no extras or anything so what I did was went to Blockbuster and rented the "new" version and watched the extras and then took it back! :lol:


I watched Sleeping Beauty the other night and I don't like it as much as the other Disney classics. A lot of it has to do with that horrible queen and those thorns that Prince Philip has to go through to get to the castle to wake up Princess Aurora. That grossed me out when he stabs the queen/dragon with that knife! That scene is majorly violent! In fact, that whole sequence is violent.

It was half Disney and half Warner Bros. I liked the Warner Bros part of the movie better :D

Actually, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" was jointly produced by Disney's
Touchstone Pictures subsidiary and by Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment--although they did borrow characters from several other
studios, incl. Warner (Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, etc.), MGM (Droopy), Walter
Lantz (Woody Woodpecker) and Fleischer (Betty Boop). Great movie, a real
milestone in the way they combined puppetry with animation and live-action.

True how if you bought every re-release by Disney, you'd be broke. I don't need all the special features. If a scene was cut from a movie, to me, that means it has no significance to be in it, so why watch it? I may watch the making of the movie and/or the movie with the commentary. But only if it's the cast. Sometimes, I'll watch the director's, too. And I love the bloopers.

On this day in 1993 Disney released the spookiest of its animated features — one so non-Disney-like, they used the name "Touchstone Pictures", usually reserved for films aimed at an older demographic than standard Disney fare, for the release. "The Nightmare Before Christmas" came out 16 years ago today.

Posted on Don Markstein's Toonopedia today

[I just watched this movie last Sunday (as I do every year around Halloween).
It's produced by Tim Burton and (like most of his stuff) it's pretty off the wall.
I also have the book, written and drawn by Burton. Not for every taste, but
if you like his other films ("Beetlejuice," "Batman" (1989), "Edward Scissorhands," etc.), you'd probably enjoy it.]

On this day in 1993 Disney released the spookiest of its animated features — one so non-Disney-like, they used the name "Touchstone Pictures", usually reserved for films aimed at an older demographic than standard Disney fare, for the release. "The Nightmare Before Christmas" came out 16 years ago today.

[I just watched this movie last Sunday (as I do every year around Halloween).
It's produced by Tim Burton and (like most of his stuff) it's pretty off the wall.
I also have the book, written and drawn by Burton. Not for every taste, but
if you like his other films ("Beetlejuice," "Batman" (1989), "Edward Scissorhands," etc.), you'd probably enjoy it.]
Oh yeah - Nightmare Before Christmas is great. :cool:

So going to text my cousin, Crystal, this. She loves 'Nightmare Before Christmas'. Me: I've never seen second of it unless it advertised. That's going to change this year, tho.

I never really recall being disturbed by any scenes in a Disney or Don Bluth film when I was growing up. I thought the whole stone scene in Secret of NIMH was a little odd, but that's about it.

I remember being frightened by trailers for horror films and odd commercials, but that's about the extent of my terror.

The Secret of NIMH was pretty dark for a family film, but it was still a good movie. We also read the book in middle school
