Creepiest/Most Disturbing Scene In A Disney Movie... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

brownie87 · 09-23-2009, 01:33 PM

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.

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?!

Bambi's mom's death.

Wreckless · 09-23-2009, 06:14 PM

The penis in the Little Mermaid cover was pretty creepy...

but besides that, Mufasa's death in Lion King. Also, Ursala always used to scare the sh*t outta me as a kid lol, from the Little Mermaid as well.

sunshinefizzy · 09-23-2009, 06:43 PM

I found Pinocchio to be disturbing all the way through. The clocks on Gepetto's wall, I mean, what the s#$t???

Also, the scene in Snow White, when the queen comes disguised as the old woman to posion Snow. How out-of-this world derranged did she look??!! Things that make you go "Buhhhhh!"

brownie87 · 09-23-2009, 08:05 PM

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.

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

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

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

catlover79 · 09-23-2009, 10:10 PM

Well, you never saw Lucifer again after he fell from that turret so I always assumed he died. By the way, I wonder how Disney got away with naming a cat in a family film Lucifer. I don't think that would slip under the radar these days.
