I already said this before and I'll say it again: The thing that really gets me about that scene is actually _how well_ Bambi takes it. Once he was told that his mother was gone, he didn't break down, he didn't sob hysterically. All he did was lower his head and a tear fell from his eye, that's it. For boys his age, Bambi's got some serious guts there. Just saying
@@mysticmind4563 Agreed he should of had more screen time for sure He’s also probably got the highest kill count of any of the Disney villains as far as I know with him and his bandits wiping out entire armies
@@sorikaiwolf8955 There was a deleted scene with Shan-Yu and the Hun destroying a village (presumably the one showed in the video) and one of the bandits was caught keeping a canary when their orders were to keep nothing alive. Only to be killed later.

Honestly could've just put Frollo's screen time on here for an entry. Probably the most twisted Disney villain as he believes he's actually a good guy...
I have some words of encouragemenr in the midst of whats going on. It might sound wierd, but it is for real. Its long because I've tried to and any faqs! Hopefully this will answer some of those nagging questions - Why does evil exist (and how can it be fixed), how is the whole "Jesus dying" thing really relevant to anything? To you? if you still have any questions let me know x First, what is evil? Well, the Bible calls it the breaking of God's laws - and God intends for this world to be perfect in every way. He also wants us to have perfect lives too - thats a part of His plan. But we dont though, do we? Every one of us have lied, stolen (even tiny things count as stealing), spoken badly to our parents and had embarrassing and detestable thoughts in our thought life. The Bible calls this "sin", the breaking of God's laws. You might think, so what? Everyone lies and thinks bad things about others! Its human! You're right. That's exactly what the Bible says, we're "born into sin" and that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" - Romans 3:23 Notice something? God's intent for us APPEARS to be the exact OPPOSITE of human nature and desires! Not lying, not stealing, and having a perfect thought life is God's standard for us, so if it is God's standard, and we were made in "God's image", Why don't we meet it then? Well, Remember Adam and Eve and when they sinned. Before sin they were perfect in thought word and DEED completely, just as God intended, and they had a perfect relationship with Him. ALL was perfect in every way. But after the first sin occured due to Satan's tempting in the Garden, it destroyed that part of us that was morally perfect and in perfect harmony with God - His morals, standard, and love. Satan took over these things and so while we kept certain things, the ability to be thinking individuals with unique personalities, the moral part (affecting how our thoughts, actions and personalities operate) was damaged. To the point where we are "opposed" to God, hence His nature and standards being the opposite of what we see as reasonable or possible. The bible says "apart from God we can do nothing". Without Him, it will 100% feel "opposite", unreasonable and alien to us. Only WITH Him can we gain victory in these things. Why doesn't God just let sin off and leave it? The Bible describes God as a "righteous judge", many wonder why God doesn't just let sin off and leave it, but He can't. Why? That's like a if a judge let off a murderer who broke the state law. Everyone would attack that judge and call Him corrupt, saying that he had not done right and should be fired for failing to punish the murderer for his evil. AND to completely love and be good as God is, means you need to, in turn, hate all forms of evil. You can't truly love good unless you hate the existence of evil. This means that God needed, as a righteous judge to punish sin with the ultimate penalty of death - expressing His hatred of evil - and separation from His presence forever. Hence Hell. "The soul that sins shall die (in Hell and suffer damnation)" - Ezekiel 18:20 BUT God, who is also perfect love, did not want to see His creation tortured and cut off from Him. He cares so much for is that He couldn't bear to see us fall into Satans hands and suffer death, even though we broke the law and deserve to be cut off from perfection forever Because of justice, God could not leave sin and evil unpunished, BUT because of LOVE, God provided someone else to take that punishment on our behalf, satisfying both justice (by punishing the evil committed), and love (by sparing OUR lives) despite our sin. God sent His own SON - think about that. His *Son*, the one whom He loved infinitely (the same way He loves us). God allowed Him to take the pain we deserved, He took ALL of Gods wrath for every single sin you and I have committed. He was punished brutally and completely so that we do not have to be punished. Back in the courtroom scenario: He paid the "fine" at His own expense (His life had to be morally perfect on this Earth, then He had to be killed as a sinless sacrifice on our behalf). So when He returns to remove all evil from the face of the Earth, we can be spared and free because Christ has already BEEN punished on our behalf. He then rose again on the third day, conquering not only life and sin and temptation, but DEATH. GOD HAS POWER OVER DEATH. "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live (immortally and eternally in Heaven when I return)" - John 11:25,26 ALL we have to do is accept it by faith. Faith alone in Christ alone. Religion = rules to be saved The gospel = Christ saved us already we just have to believe it by faith. If you lack faith (as I did before), pray. He will make it strong it time. Trust Him as you would trust those close to you. He knows you even better than that. He created you and knows you inside out. ...WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? What does it actually mean for us? It means we can be free from the penalty of damnation. Not only that but we can be restored to Him and recreated into His moral image AGAIN as long as we accept Jesus having paid the price for us and accept Him as our Lord, the one who is in the front seat of our lives. He has a plan for your life, He's created you for a purpose. Just remember that. A purpose that includes being recreated into His image, one you can only accomplish through Him and reliance on His power and by following HIS way of life. What does this new way of life entail? It entails love, true love and service and aid to others, to "love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength" and "love your neighbour as you love yourself" Matthew 22:37, 39. Sharing the message of Christ's death, resurrection and soon return on this Earth to give justice OR mercy depending on what the person chose. Sound "opposite" again? God knows it sounds opposite, which is why, as The Bible states, this is NOT something we can do alone. It's not in our nature. We need a new nature in the front seat, and the first step is to repent (turn from and reject our sin, pursuing the opposite direction and drawing close to God) Christ will give us an actual DESIRE to do these things. Through the Holy Spirit, sent by Him to us after the ascension. He speaks to us through thoughts of love and truth and conviction, verses, ideas, prayers and He guides us so that we gain a desire to follow God and be able to do these "opposite" things through Him. "With man it is impossible, but with God, NOTHING is impossible!" - Matthew 19:26 What is the way FOR though? Firstly its to save you from sin - the only way to gain victory over sin and not have it as your master is through having Christ as your master and following His aid to resist the devil's temptations. Christ lived down here for 33 years suffering EVERY FORM of temptation that you have ever faced - "who in every respect [has] been tempted as we are, yet without sin" Hebrews 4:15. Therefore He is able to help us through our struggles. When the devil knows people have left his camp, he always tries harder with more temptations and evil attacks. BUT - His way is also there to guard and teach you daily in the midst of this (and despite this) sinful, selfish world. The path He wants you to walk is a path of committment and love - its not about rules and regulations to save us - what Christ did GAVE us salvation. All we need is faith. The rest, the "fruits of good works (the will to obey and follow Him)", are what come through true, maturing faith. It's all about faith and the relationship God wants with you just like before sin arrived. God preferred His own Son to be tortured And *killed* to give a chance to us (who broke His law of perfection) so that we can live as His children again. He wants us to love and trust and worship Him. What if I still find myself sinning after I have accepted Christ? That's why Christ died, For our sin. His death doesn't fix us in a snap like that, but it does protect us from the damnation that our past, present and future sins would bring without Jesus. It's a process - a lifelong process - of God bringing you back to Him, away from the destructive pleasures of sin (greed, selfish temptations, trampling on people to gain). This process takes a *lifetime*, as it does for all, but NEVER give up, when you fall, know Christ paid for that sin you committed already - just acknowledge your sin and ask for forgiveness - and you can get back up again because He already bore your guilt and shame. Regardless of the darkness you are in or the extent or frequency of the sins you have committed or will commit, regardless of how doubtful you may feel, know that Jesus UNDERSTANDS completely and He is faithful. "those who come to Me, I will by no means cast out" - John 6:37 ...HOW DO I LEARN MORE? Don't know where to start? Note down the Gospel of "John", or "Luke" (for a more detailed account of it all). Remember that He will "NEVER - and that means never - leave you, NOR forsake you" - Deuteronomy 31:6 You can go to Him with them and be assured that He loves you and is for you. Keep your heart open to Him and remember that if we pray for Christ to enter our lives, He will. "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten Son, that whomever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life". - Thanks for reading if you did. I just felt that I should tell you regardless. Let me know if you have any more questions or if you need any clarification on anything xx
Honorable mention: the vehicle chase scene from “Oliver and Company.” Two dogs get electrocuted by the railroad tracks, and their owner is killed by an oncoming train.
The intro scene of The Fox and the Hound was also very sad. Tod's mother was running away from hunters and in the final moments she realized that she can't escape. She placed her baby in a safe place and drew the hunter away. Two shots can be heard afterwards. EDIT: By the way, you can spot a place in the intro where the movie will end. Nice foreshadowing.
The wrong Huns scene was shown in the honorable mentions, it’s definitely the part where they let the 2 Chinese scouts escape and the archer takes aim at one..some Rickon and Ramsey shit
I'm so glad I was born in 2001 , I am feel so sorry the kids nowadays . They will never get to know how awesome the cartoons are in the 80s , 90s and in the early 2000s. Back then cartoon network and disney channel was still a thing and actually have a pretty good show : Ben 10 ( Original ), CatDog, Talespin, Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, House of Mouse, Teen Titans ( Original ), Teacher Pet, Ed Edd and Eddy, Chowder, Regular Show, Gumball, Ducktales ( Original ), Flapjack, Courage the cowardly Dog and so many more. 😔😞😭😢 But not all modern show are bad such as Gravity Falls, Wander over yonder, Amphibia, The Owl House, Ducktales (2017), Big City Greens, Mao Mao,... I don't get it why did they have to replace toon disney with disney XD and disney channel. I just hope that one day they will bring this channel back.
I don't see it. Pink elephants have never creeped me out. They never creeped me out as a kid. I'm confused, not scared. Someone explain how the hell pink elephants are scary?
@@SirPhilosopherOfTheWaterHole8 Yet that didn't scared me, or you on that one. Another ironic for this is that Scar's death was more darker than Mufasa's.
@@foxshock5571 I got to agree with you that Scar’s death was darker. He was thrown into the pit below. Raging fire in the distance. His hyenas mumbling about the blame for them. And after all that, the hyenas attack eating Scar alive and then eventually getting burned by the fire. It was pretty messed up and I still get chills when I watch that. But I do understand that it’s sad to see Mufasa die because of Scar.
Poor Hiro. Not only is the same day he gets accepted into that school the same day he lost his brother, it happened in front of him 🥺 Also, Pinocchio is freaking nightmare fuel
Yeah so many factors contribute to crazy ratings of some films like era & oddly specific lil reasons like the '1 F**K rule' where 2 or more F bombs will raise the movies rating LOL. Some other countries are far worse engaging in jus plain censorship
As a child there was nothing more traumatic for me than the death of Mufasa and little Simba trying to wake him up. Although I use to watch the show over and over again, as it was my favourite, I always cried at this particular scene. You nailed it!
It should have been on here three times, with the third actually being Frollo's death. Now THAT... ...is some disturbing creepy stuff. I mean, come on, quoting the Bible about 'smiting the wicked and plunging them into the fiery pit'...only to have that fate befall HIM? Complete with a grinning fiery gargoyle (whom Frollo thought was made of stone before) before it breaks and sends him plummeting into the fire below? Not to mention Frollo being voiced by the incomparable Tony Jay (R.I.P.) was top-notch villainy.
not just Disney, other companies as well. Watership Down is an infamous animated movie that was rated G back in the day....that features grueling scenes of animal murder and just over all gloomy times
Yes a lot of things going on including racism, cultural genocide, claude frodo commiting all of the 7 sins, damaging the church during the siege and believing he is above everyone else as a man of god.
Mine too. I LOVED the music, and the way they portrayed the Cathedral of Notre Dame. They missed several chances to re-release it; once during the fire that almost destroyed the Cathedral a few years ago, and again for January 6th this year (Janu-ervy, Feast of Fools) for the 25th anniversary of the film's release.
What is more bad about tadashi's death is that it was revealed that Callaghan was actually the one who set up the fire , letted tadashi inside of there , and left him to die , and didn't do anything to save him at all !
@@Kortney0718 you should definitely watch it as an adult. Most of the themes went over our heads as kids. I had no idea what mea culpa was as a child and did not know about the genocide of the Romani's. Reading the book is also an idea.
@@squarebear619 hey, so I watched it, and it is amazing how much stuff you don’t realize as a child. Esmarelda literally did a poll dance on stage! They can get away with anything in a kids movie!
Well, maybe the film side had. TV? Not so much. You should watch Amphibia and The Owl House. Those sure have some creepy material, specially The Owl House. That series' villain could rival Frollo and Scar as one of the darkest Disney Villains.
What's really scares me about Pleasure Island is how That Coachman got away with Turning children into donkeys, so who knows how long this Chaos will last!
Fun Fact: In Mulan, A girl worth fighting for is the last song in Mulan. It's not just a tonal shift of the moment, it creates a sharp tonal shift for the remainder of the movie.
I can deal with all the creepy stuff from these movies, but that Bambi scene gets me everything. Tears and all. Partially because my mother passed when I was 9. Always love your mothers, you never know when they will be taken from you.
Exactly the same here! Before she passed I remember feeling empathy for Simba, Bambi, chuckie from rugrats, and Koda from brother bear, but ever since she's been gone these scenes hit harder.
@@whoinvitedcheyenne You're totally right! It hits totally different after than it does before. And it's these classic movies that will help even our children understand loss one day
I love how the man from Bambi is on the 'Top movie villains' list despite not appearing in the movie. After all the trauma he gave to kids, the scoundrel deserves it.
That was pretty horrifying...and yet this list didn't bring up Doom's reveal as a toon which was far more frightening (or not considering he got his in the end).
It’s not the only Disney movie that left out dark and depressing stuff from the actual story. In the actual story of Hercules Hera made Hercules kill Megara and their children.
@@xiesie_xiesie For Hunchback? Esmeralda gets hung, not burned at the stake...only after finding out that the recluse that hated her guts from the beginning was her long-lost mother who begged for her daughter's life (oh and got killed for the trouble when the mother tried to stop the guards from taking La Esmeralda). Phoebus ended up marrying some other rich girl. Frollo was up on the balcony at the cathedral, watching the hanging (he was a priest, ironically enough), and laughed at the proceedings, before Quasimodo pushed him off of it to his death. Quasi...he later found Esmeralda's body in the crypts and pretty much died holding onto her body - so much so that when he was later found, the people tried to separate the two and the body crumbled to dust. The Little Mermaid originally ended with the mermaid - Marina - never getting her voice back, but the prince marries another girl instead, so the original bargain was that if that happened, she would become foam on the waves. Tangled - Rapunzel - had the prince ascending the tower to try and see Rapunzel again...only to find that it was the witch on the other end of the long tresses. This witch blinded him and threw him off of the tower, where he wandered around blind.
@@SpiritedHeart94 the Styx is the more prominent, as it was the river invoked by the Olympic pantheon in their oaths/swears/vows, physical invulnerability, & where Charon ferry the dead souls towards Hades's palace (yes, it's Hades & then Persephone's job to entertain the "multitudinous host", as those are his subjects) the others are: - *Lethe* - river of forgetfulness/oblivion: in the "Aeneid" souls on their way to reincarnation drink from this to forget their past lives - *Phlegethon* - river of rage: mentioned in Dante's "Inferno" in one of the 7 circles of hell - *Cocytos* - river of lamentation - *Acheron* - river of woe; apparently in the "Aeneid" this is where Charon ferries the newly dead to Hades/Pluto, not at the Styx and no, no dead souls inhabit the river as they are not fucking nymphs in the first place
Lampwick and Bambi’s mom were probably the most traumatizing scenes to me as a child. I’ve only seen Bambi twice but every time I think of it that’s what I think of
Where the hell is Disneys opening of Atlantis: The lost empire. It's a huge fucking flood that killed thousands of people. Not including that huge dark scene of people embracing each other before they get crushed by the waves, is a mistake. But sure, if you think the fight scene between Milo and Rourke dark.
What about Milo cutting Rorke with a shard with the essence of the heart of Atlantis, that ends up crystalizing him, and Kida’s lifeforce is literally used to summon the guardian statues to protect Atlantis from a freaking volcano? Not to mention if she would’ve been bonded with the heart any longer it would’ve killed her.
Tony Jay, the voice of Frollo, originally auditioned for Jafar but (obviously) lost the part to Johnathan Freeman. When casting Frollo Disney specifically called Tony back in for the part because of that Jafar audition. I gotta say, Disney made the right call in both cases because I couldn't imagine anybody else as either Jafar OR Frollo, especially with Johnathan's maniacal laughter as Jafar.
1977's The Rescuers is worth a mention. I saw it in the theater when I was young and remember being scared when the kidnapped girl, Penny, was chased by the crocodiles.
What scared me was the fact that Clayton had a sister who came all the way to Africa just to Kill Tarzan For what was effectively her brother's unintended suicide
This is a very good list. I first saw Pinocchio when I was a young child and somehow the kids turning into donkeys (actually pretty scary) didnt throw me as much as seeing Gepetto washing up on shore looking up and seeing Pinocchio drowned. I started to cry. The destroyed village from MULAN was indeed one of the most abrupt mood changes in a Disney movie ever.....and in the very next scene they themselves are ATTACKED. I was already a grown man when Hunchback of Notre Dame came out but I wasnt about to let kids see it.....Frollo was the most unhinged of them all. Murders Quasi's mother right in front of the church....If only the ArchDeacon had gotten there a minute sooner. It is however Alan Menken's most underrated score. I still dont know how it didnt take a PG rating. Maleficent turning into a dragon scared me as a small child and her "And now my Prince...prepare to do battle with ME and ALL of the forces of HELL" didnt help. I always felt that Ursula's "turning into a giant" moment right before her doom was a bit of a RIP off of Maleficent's and I felt that Maleficent's dragon look was taken from the Night on Bald Mountain from Fantasia. I saw Bambi as a child with my Mother. So yeah I had questions. ..luckily it was double featured with a Disney live action comedy GUS about a Football kicking mule....so I laughed a bit later. When I saw Bambi's mother listed as #2 we all pretty much knew who was #1. I was hoping you'd show clips of both the animated AND live action versions.
Same. Although Maleficent no longer scares me, that scene alone still creeps me out. Even to this day. I remember use to have nightmares because of that chanting and the Faint sound that comes along with it..
I always thought the chase scene from Oliver and Company, McLeach's death from The Rescuers Down Under, and the fight/ chase scene in the castle from Robin Hood, Scroop's death from Treasure Planet, and the fight on Big Ben from The Great Mouse Detective were all pretty dark scenes from Disney
The original Pete's Dragon had a few moments that were pretty dark by modern standards. The whole idea that Pete was essentially sold into slavery and there's an entire song about it. Plus the song where they go into detail about how each internal organ of a dragon can be used for different miracle cures. Pretty sure the problematic themes are why the entire story got scrapped for the "remake".
"Night on Bald Mountain" gave me nightmares as a kid. My mom wouldn't let me and my sister watch it. We both had nightmares for months. I didn't like the pink elephant scene either.
With number 5. I remember. screaming when I saw that shoe die, same with the box trolls, when the trolls all got fake squished to death. I don't think anybody knows that movie but still it was heart wrenching
The burned village in Mulan hit me SO hard when I first saw it. Remember crying so much like I hadn't done since watching Mufassa's death for the first time 😭😭😭😭
While I think Mufasa's death deserves top spot, I really think that the scenes from "Hunchback of Notre Dame" and the burned village scene from "Mulan" deserved to be in the top five, as I think massacres, lust, and murder are much darker material than villains getting bigger.
The black cauldron forever haunts me, that was terrifying to see when you're just a toddler. 😂😂 My older sister watched it in bed one night with the lights off (we shared a room back then) and I cried the entire night and had to go in my mum's room with her! 😅😂
I cannot ever fast forward through Mufasa's death. The catharsis of crying about it is therapeutic for me. Plus, seeing Simba crawl under his paw is the best part. So tiny compared to his dad.
A lot of the older Disney movies had more disturbing moments than some of the newer ones on this list. Lady & the Tramp deserved a couple of honorable mentions cuz I cannot think about that movie without becoming an emotional wreck. A lot of scenes made me sad, but the scene with the rat was especially terrifying and when Trusty appears to get killed by the stagecoach-- it's a happy ending, but it's hard for me to get over the previous scene that fast. That's nearly as bad as them following up Bambi's mom with happy music and tweeting birds
I often feel we became too scared to scare children nowadays. Everything has to be nice and cute. Which really isn't good for kids. I notice it with all television for children. When you look at old shows like saved by the bell of fresh prince it deals with a lot of mature themes. They don't do that anymore.
At least three kids' shows during the '90s were scary/disturbing: _Mulligrubs_ featured a face on a chroma-key screen talking in a squeaky high voice about various things; _Lift-Off_ featured among other weird segments a faceless doll that (in my head-canon) grew up into the Slender Man; and _Round the Twist_ was (in its first two seasons) a retelling of the works of Paul Jennings. All those shows are Australian in origin.
There are a few shows that are teaching kids about mature subject matters. Not many, but shows like Steven Universe, Legend of Korra (although that one was meant more for teens) and a few Disney series have some moments that are very relatable. Not much on scare tactics but definitely tackles a few subject matters.
When you are a child, these dark moments scare you in a shocking way, but when you grow up, several of those dark moments can be satisfying like Clayton and Rourke's death.
I saw all of these as a child and the top three I found most disturbing back then was 1. Aurora being lured into the needle. Theres something about her face devoid of emotions that scared me as a child. 2. That donkey transformation was simply terrible to watch. 3. The evil queen's transformation.
I watched Hunchback of Notre Dame and I absolutely loved it, the movie uses its maturity as a weapon. (I’m a teenager, btw) It kinda reminded me of some gothic works like Bloodborne, slightly, and the music, characters are all great. I think it’s more popular now because people who were kids during that time are now respecting this movie because they are older, making it a well deserving cult classic IMO.
Really, there is “Aurora is hypnotized” but not something really terrifying like the death of judge Claud Frollo? Plus Mufasa’s death is not scary or terrifying but traumatizing and there is much more frightening think than that, the Horned King death scene was the most terrifying thing I have ever seen in a Disney movie.
Frollo’s death is quite dark, considering his eyes were glowing red as he attempted to kill Esmerelda and Quasimodo just for the beam to crumble and the demon actually comes to life as to welcome him to the flames of hell.
I 29 years old and lion king mufasa dies scene still get me years later when I saw it as kid my first dark moment with Disney I crying for days as a kid
It was always heart-rending when young Simba was tearfully pleading with his father to wake up, only to get manipulated into believing that he was responsible for Mufasa’s death
Well, there's a scene from Disney's Zootopia, both Nick and Judy were running away from the Panther guy being shot with the night howler flower dots and become savage. That was really frightening and scary. Disney knows how to make mature in darker tones.
I feel like those dark moments were necessary for the young audience. Those old Disney movies are like the perfect balance of ying and yang. We need dark, grim moments to counterbalance the light-hearted, happy moments, otherwise the whole movie would feel unbalanced. Nowadays, the new Disney movies feel like they're off balance. Too much yin and not enough yang, you know.
Honorable Mention: Princess Mombi Wants Dorothy's Head, Return to Oz: Because a Headless Woman coming after you while her disembodied head screams at you is nightmare fuel.
Yeah and when Dorothy is wheeled off into a room where she’s about to receive electroshock therapy. Sure, it’s a treatment for depression but Dorothy is awake during the procedure while ECT is supposed to be done under general anesthesia
I personally think the scariest thing for me as a child was from the treasure planet, how they were escaping at the end. Gosh, that one was frightening, and also, Claiton's death. It gives me chills even now, when I'm 20 already
Finding Nemo's opening, a mother's death and a school of unborn fish get killed and we're left with an emotional scared father and a son thats handicapped

@@jasminejohnston6393 😒😂
I already said this before and I'll say it again: The thing that really gets me about that scene is actually _how well_ Bambi takes it. Once he was told that his mother was gone, he didn't break down, he didn't sob hysterically. All he did was lower his head and a tear fell from his eye, that's it. For boys his age, Bambi's got some serious guts there. Just saying
If I heard that as a kid in real life, my world would be destroyed.
These scenes maybe dark, but they're also some of the most memorable scenes in these particular Disney movies.
Did you just copy someone else's comment? Yes. Yes, you did! You faker!

I feel like this was the beginning of our conditioning to all the death we’ve seen in the last 20 years.
Agree to disagree
The original comment is from The Dragon Commenter
Scar killed the protagonist's father and was his brother and even blamed Simba in order to be king , pure evil
ture, and it's an allegory for Hamlet. Very dark.
Yes we know
He also ordered Simba killed almost immediately after having him banished.
Be prepared
@Udhaydeep Singh no one asked you

One.
Moments like those make Shan-Yu a sinister yet ruthless villain. Sadly he one of the more underrated ones in the Disney roster.

That firebird in the Fantasia and Dr Facilier dragged into spirit world scene terrifies me as a kid, makes me get out of the room quickly or hide
I miss when Disney wasn't afraid to get scary in animated movies. Heck, I miss Disney just making animated movies period!

I do understand Disney can’t fo that anymore since literally there’s more kids watching now. Man I miss the renaissance era

Another one: In Alice and Wonderland, the little oyster kids are eaten off screen, which I find to be dark.
That whole movie is dark.
I have some words of encouragemenr in the midst of whats going on.
It might sound wierd, but it is for real. Its long because I've tried to and any faqs! Hopefully this will answer some of those nagging questions -
Why does evil exist (and how can it be fixed), how is the whole "Jesus dying" thing really relevant to anything? To you? if you still have any questions let me know x
First, what is evil? Well, the Bible calls it the breaking of God's laws - and God intends for this world to be perfect in every way.
He also wants us to have perfect lives too - thats a part of His plan. But we dont though, do we?
Every one of us have lied, stolen (even tiny things count as stealing), spoken badly to our parents and had embarrassing and detestable thoughts in our thought life. The Bible calls this "sin", the breaking of God's laws. You might think, so what? Everyone lies and thinks bad things about others! Its human!
You're right. That's exactly what the Bible says, we're "born into sin" and that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" - Romans 3:23
Notice something?
God's intent for us APPEARS to be the exact OPPOSITE of human nature and desires!
Not lying, not stealing, and having a perfect thought life is God's standard for us, so if it is God's standard, and we were made in "God's image", Why don't we meet it then?
Well, Remember Adam and Eve and when they sinned. Before sin they were perfect in thought word and DEED completely, just as God intended, and they had a perfect relationship with Him. ALL was perfect in every way.
But after the first sin occured due to Satan's tempting in the Garden, it destroyed that part of us that was morally perfect and in perfect harmony with God - His morals, standard, and love. Satan took over these things and so while we kept certain things, the ability to be thinking individuals with unique personalities, the moral part (affecting how our thoughts, actions and personalities operate) was damaged. To the point where we are "opposed" to God, hence His nature and standards being the opposite of what we see as reasonable or possible. The bible says "apart from God we can do nothing". Without Him, it will 100% feel "opposite", unreasonable and alien to us. Only WITH Him can we gain victory in these things.
Why doesn't God just let sin off and leave it?
The Bible describes God as a "righteous judge", many wonder why God doesn't just let sin off and leave it, but He can't. Why? That's like a if a judge let off a
murderer who broke the state law. Everyone would attack that judge and call Him corrupt, saying that he had not done right and should be fired for failing to punish the murderer for his evil. AND to completely love and be good as God is, means you need to, in turn, hate all forms of evil. You can't truly love good unless you hate the existence of evil.
This means that God needed, as a righteous judge to punish sin with the ultimate penalty of death - expressing His hatred of evil - and separation from His presence forever. Hence Hell.
"The soul that sins shall die (in Hell and suffer damnation)" - Ezekiel 18:20
BUT God, who is also perfect love, did not want to see His creation tortured and cut off from Him. He cares so much for is that He couldn't bear to see us fall into Satans hands and suffer death, even though we broke the law and deserve to be cut off from perfection forever
Because of justice, God could not leave sin and evil unpunished, BUT because of LOVE, God provided someone else to take that punishment on our behalf, satisfying both justice (by punishing the evil committed), and love (by sparing OUR lives) despite our sin.
God sent His own SON - think about that. His *Son*, the one whom He loved infinitely (the same way He loves us).
God allowed Him to take the pain we deserved, He took ALL of Gods wrath for every single sin you and I have committed. He was punished brutally and completely so that we do not have to be punished.
Back in the courtroom scenario: He paid the "fine" at His own expense (His life had to be morally perfect on this Earth, then He had to be killed as a sinless sacrifice on our behalf).
So when He returns to remove all evil from the face of the Earth, we can be spared and free because Christ has already BEEN punished on our behalf. He then rose again on the third day, conquering not only life and sin and temptation, but DEATH.
GOD HAS POWER OVER DEATH.
"I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live (immortally and eternally in Heaven when I return)" - John 11:25,26
ALL we have to do is accept it by faith. Faith alone in Christ alone.
Religion = rules to be saved
The gospel = Christ saved us already we just have to believe it by faith. If you lack faith (as I did before), pray. He will make it strong it time. Trust Him as you would trust those close to you. He knows you even better than that. He created you and knows you inside out.
...WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
What does it actually mean for us?
It means we can be free from the penalty of damnation.
Not only that but we can be restored to Him and recreated into His moral image AGAIN as long as we accept Jesus having paid the price for us and accept Him as our Lord, the one who is in the front seat of our lives. He has a plan for your life, He's created you for a purpose. Just remember that. A purpose that includes being recreated into His image, one you can only accomplish through Him and reliance on His power and by following HIS way of life.
What does this new way of life entail?
It entails love, true love and service and aid to others, to "love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength" and "love your neighbour as you love yourself" Matthew 22:37, 39.
Sharing the message of Christ's death, resurrection and soon return on this Earth to give justice OR mercy depending on what the person chose.
Sound "opposite" again?
God knows it sounds opposite, which is why, as The Bible states, this is NOT something we can do alone. It's not in our nature.
We need a new nature in the front seat, and the first step is to repent (turn from and reject our sin, pursuing the opposite direction and drawing close to God)
Christ will give us an actual DESIRE to do these things. Through the Holy Spirit, sent by Him to us after the ascension. He speaks to us through thoughts of love and truth and conviction, verses, ideas, prayers and He guides us so that we gain a desire to follow God and be able to do these "opposite" things through Him.
"With man it is impossible, but with God, NOTHING is impossible!" - Matthew 19:26
What is the way FOR though?
Firstly its to save you from sin - the only way to gain victory over sin and not have it as your master is through having Christ as your master and following His aid to resist the devil's temptations.
Christ lived down here for 33 years suffering EVERY FORM of temptation that you have ever faced - "who in every respect [has] been tempted as we are, yet without sin" Hebrews 4:15.
Therefore He is able to help us through our struggles. When the devil knows people have left his camp, he always tries harder with more temptations and evil attacks. BUT - His way is also there to guard and teach you daily in the midst of this (and despite this) sinful, selfish world.
The path He wants you to walk is a path of committment and love - its not about rules and regulations to save us - what Christ did GAVE us salvation.
All we need is faith.
The rest, the "fruits of good works (the will to obey and follow Him)", are what come through true, maturing faith. It's all about faith and the relationship God wants with you just like before sin arrived.
God preferred His own Son to be tortured And *killed* to give a chance to us (who broke His law of perfection) so that we can live as His children again. He wants us to love and trust and worship Him.
What if I still find myself sinning after I have accepted Christ?
That's why Christ died, For our sin. His death doesn't fix us in a snap like that, but it does protect us from the damnation that our past, present and future sins would bring without Jesus.
It's a process - a lifelong process - of God bringing you back to Him, away from the destructive pleasures of sin (greed, selfish temptations, trampling on people to gain). This process takes a *lifetime*, as it does for all, but NEVER give up, when you fall, know Christ paid for that sin you committed already - just acknowledge your sin and ask for forgiveness - and you can get back up again because He already bore your guilt and shame.
Regardless of the darkness you are in or the extent or frequency of the sins you have committed or will commit, regardless of how doubtful you may feel, know that Jesus UNDERSTANDS completely and He is faithful.
"those who come to Me, I will by no means cast out" - John 6:37
...HOW DO I LEARN MORE?
Don't know where to start?
Note down the Gospel of "John", or "Luke" (for a more detailed account of it all).
Remember that He will "NEVER - and that means never - leave you, NOR forsake you" - Deuteronomy 31:6
You can go to Him with them and be assured that He loves you and is for you.
Keep your heart open to Him and remember that if we pray for Christ to enter our lives, He will.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten Son, that whomever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life". -
Thanks for reading if you did. I just felt that I should tell you regardless. Let me know if
you have any more questions or if you need any clarification on anything xx

God I love Oliver and Company.
The older Disney movies are more horrifying at scary moments
Panda agrees those early disney movies are like horror movie!!😬
Of course and i just realized that older Disney movies used 2D animation when 3D wasn't a thing yet
2D animation dose make you scared
Agreed
True true 😶, I even got nostalgia....
The intro scene of The Fox and the Hound was also very sad. Tod's mother was running away from hunters and in the final moments she realized that she can't escape. She placed her baby in a safe place and drew the hunter away. Two shots can be heard afterwards.
EDIT: By the way, you can spot a place in the intro where the movie will end. Nice foreshadowing.
The wrong Huns scene was shown in the honorable mentions, it’s definitely the part where they let the 2 Chinese scouts escape and the archer takes aim at one..some Rickon and Ramsey shit
_This was entirely what Disney used to be_
When Disney wrote good stories!!
Yes but wait what
Nice Profile Pic Of Zuko. 🔥
Yes; the pioneers of animation and creative innovation. Now, they're the pioneers of live-action remakes, going woke, and sucking up to China.
I'm so glad I was born in 2001 , I am feel so sorry the kids nowadays . They will never get to know how awesome the cartoons are in the 80s , 90s and in the early 2000s. Back then cartoon network and disney channel was still a thing and actually have a pretty good show :
Ben 10 ( Original ), CatDog, Talespin, Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, House of Mouse, Teen Titans ( Original ), Teacher Pet, Ed Edd and Eddy, Chowder, Regular Show, Gumball, Ducktales ( Original ), Flapjack, Courage the cowardly Dog and so many more. 😔😞😭😢
But not all modern show are bad such as Gravity Falls, Wander over yonder, Amphibia, The Owl House, Ducktales (2017), Big City Greens, Mao Mao,...
I don't get it why did they have to replace toon disney with disney XD and disney channel. I just hope that one day they will bring this channel back.
What was really sad about Tadashi's death was that the person he ran into the building to save was never in any danger.
And was the villain who didn't even cared about his sacrifice
And was responsible for the fire in the first place.

Another ironic for this is that Scar's death was more darker than Mufasa's.
@@foxshock5571 I got to agree with you that Scar’s death was darker. He was thrown into the pit below. Raging fire in the distance. His hyenas mumbling about the blame for them. And after all that, the hyenas attack eating Scar alive and then eventually getting burned by the fire. It was pretty messed up and I still get chills when I watch that. But I do understand that it’s sad to see Mufasa die because of Scar.
Poor Hiro. Not only is the same day he gets accepted into that school the same day he lost his brother, it happened in front of him 🥺
Also, Pinocchio is freaking nightmare fuel

I feel like we are all ignoring the fact that “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” is one a Disney's darkest animated movies, however it's rated G.
Yet Frozen gets a PG rating just for having a snow monster.
Yeah so many factors contribute to crazy ratings of some films like era & oddly specific lil reasons like the '1 F**K rule' where 2 or more F bombs will raise the movies rating LOL. Some other countries are far worse engaging in jus plain censorship
Cruella De Vil wanted a coat made out of 99 puppy furs in 101 Dalmations. 😬
101 Dalmatians had disturbing implications, luckily Cruella got arrested
As a child there was nothing more traumatic for me than the death of Mufasa and little Simba trying to wake him up. Although I use to watch the show over and over again, as it was my favourite, I always cried at this particular scene. You nailed it!
So many dark memories from my childhood
Same

You know Hunchback is dark when it’s on here twice.
It should have been on here three times, with the third actually being Frollo's death. Now THAT...
...is some disturbing creepy stuff.
I mean, come on, quoting the Bible about 'smiting the wicked and plunging them into the fiery pit'...only to have that fate befall HIM? Complete with a grinning fiery gargoyle (whom Frollo thought was made of stone before) before it breaks and sends him plummeting into the fire below?
Not to mention Frollo being voiced by the incomparable Tony Jay (R.I.P.) was top-notch villainy.
I still get disgusted when Frollo smells Esmeralda’s hair
What if it was made into a horror film?
@UCy3OZyRhp31X6V0k79XIaRQ top 3 villains imo, scar, Gaston and frollo where 3 menacing sick ferks

15:46 I always loved that after all Clayton’s done, Tarzan still tries to help him. He is a true hero.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a really dark Disney movie I'm not surprised, now these days. People might be tripping filling out some complaints
To me...it deserved a very HARD PG or PG-13 even. Like children just wouldn't get it and it's themes are too mature for children
@@CrazeeAdam Definitely very taboo for a kids' film. Still an amazing film nonetheless.
Yes a lot of things going on including racism, cultural genocide, claude frodo commiting all of the 7 sins, damaging the church during the siege and believing he is above everyone else as a man of god.
Yes it’s one of the darkest Disney movies
Awesome movie. Idc what anyone says. Some people need to toughen up, buttercup! Lol
Hunchback is my favorite Disney movie. Seriously underrated.
Mine too. I LOVED the music, and the way they portrayed the Cathedral of Notre Dame. They missed several chances to re-release it; once during the fire that almost destroyed the Cathedral a few years ago, and again for January 6th this year (Janu-ervy, Feast of Fools) for the 25th anniversary of the film's release.
Agreed.
What is more bad about tadashi's death is that it was revealed that Callaghan was actually the one who set up the fire , letted tadashi inside of there , and left him to die , and didn't do anything to save him at all !
I never realized how dark The Hunchback of Notre Dame was 🧐🥲 it was one of my favorite movies as a kid 😳

@@WatchMojoLady right! I’m surprised Disney would allow this! Makes me want to watch it again to see what I missed 😂

You know what this list has proven to me? Disney has lost its edge.
Well, maybe the film side had. TV? Not so much. You should watch Amphibia and The Owl House. Those sure have some creepy material, specially The Owl House. That series' villain could rival Frollo and Scar as one of the darkest Disney Villains.

Mulan's shift when they see the burnt down homes is so good. I forgot how disturbing clayton death is great job to the team.
The scene I can guarentee you
Messed me up was Pleasure island
From Pinocchio.
What's really scares me about Pleasure Island is how That Coachman got away with Turning children into donkeys, so who knows how long this Chaos will last!
The part where the kid starts screaming for his momma and his voice changes to that of a donkey's bray mid sentence. Sends *chills* down my spine.
For real that is literally so dark to the point I puked once after watching the movie. Its horrifying and the donkey turning is so messed up
Never trust a sly fox even if his first name is “honest”.
I hated that scene, it was so disturbing 😱
Fun Fact:
In Mulan, A girl worth fighting for is the last song in Mulan. It's not just a tonal shift of the moment, it creates a sharp tonal shift for the remainder of the movie.
Yup, the only other song is the short reprise of "I'll Make a Man Out of You" when they're prepping to save the Emperor

I can deal with all the creepy stuff from these movies, but that Bambi scene gets me everything. Tears and all. Partially because my mother passed when I was 9. Always love your mothers, you never know when they will be taken from you.
Exactly the same here! Before she passed I remember feeling empathy for Simba, Bambi, chuckie from rugrats, and Koda from brother bear, but ever since she's been gone these scenes hit harder.
@@whoinvitedcheyenne You're totally right! It hits totally different after than it does before. And it's these classic movies that will help even our children understand loss one day
The Hunchback of Notre Dame has two entries on this list and they didn't even include Quasimodo's humiliation and Frollo's death
Those were horrifying
For those who don't know, yes that is the late Tony Jay that voices Judge Frollo.

I love how the man from Bambi is on the 'Top movie villains' list despite not appearing in the movie. After all the trauma he gave to kids, the scoundrel deserves it.
Why is no one talking about the “Roger Rabbit” one with the shoe being put in dip??? That was terrifying
That was #5
we're still traumatized by it, that's why. seriously though, it made the list.
That was pretty horrifying...and yet this list didn't bring up Doom's reveal as a toon which was far more frightening (or not considering he got his in the end).

You can make a top 10 dark moments just from The Lion King alone!!
Imagine if The Hunchback of Notre Dame would've ended like the novel it's based on. Depressing stuff.
It’s not the only Disney movie that left out dark and depressing stuff from the actual story. In the actual story of Hercules Hera made Hercules kill Megara and their children.
Little Mermaid and Tangled have some effed-up source material, as well.
Wait, how did it oryginally ended?
@@xiesie_xiesie For Hunchback? Esmeralda gets hung, not burned at the stake...only after finding out that the recluse that hated her guts from the beginning was her long-lost mother who begged for her daughter's life (oh and got killed for the trouble when the mother tried to stop the guards from taking La Esmeralda). Phoebus ended up marrying some other rich girl. Frollo was up on the balcony at the cathedral, watching the hanging (he was a priest, ironically enough), and laughed at the proceedings, before Quasimodo pushed him off of it to his death. Quasi...he later found Esmeralda's body in the crypts and pretty much died holding onto her body - so much so that when he was later found, the people tried to separate the two and the body crumbled to dust.
The Little Mermaid originally ended with the mermaid - Marina - never getting her voice back, but the prince marries another girl instead, so the original bargain was that if that happened, she would become foam on the waves.
Tangled - Rapunzel - had the prince ascending the tower to try and see Rapunzel again...only to find that it was the witch on the other end of the long tresses. This witch blinded him and threw him off of the tower, where he wandered around blind.

the abrupt change of happy and cheery to dark and sinister in Mulan will never fail to give me chills

The donkey scene from Pinocchio traumatized me as a kid. Maybe that’s the reason I always tried to not get into trouble 😂😅.
Well, that's dark! Especially that always terrifying me and it's just cruel! Them scumbags pigs!
This is a very good list. I first saw Pinocchio when I was a young child and somehow the kids turning into donkeys (actually pretty scary) didnt throw me as much as seeing Gepetto washing up on shore looking up and seeing Pinocchio drowned. I started to cry. The destroyed village from MULAN was indeed one of the most abrupt mood changes in a Disney movie ever.....and in the very next scene they themselves are ATTACKED. I was already a grown man when Hunchback of Notre Dame came out but I wasnt about to let kids see it.....Frollo was the most unhinged of them all. Murders Quasi's mother right in front of the church....If only the ArchDeacon had gotten there a minute sooner. It is however Alan Menken's most underrated score. I still dont know how it didnt take a PG rating. Maleficent turning into a dragon scared me as a small child and her "And now my Prince...prepare to do battle with ME and ALL of the forces of HELL" didnt help. I always felt that Ursula's "turning into a giant" moment right before her doom was a bit of a RIP off of Maleficent's and I felt that Maleficent's dragon look was taken from the Night on Bald Mountain from Fantasia. I saw Bambi as a child with my Mother. So yeah I had questions. ..luckily it was double featured with a Disney live action comedy GUS about a Football kicking mule....so I laughed a bit later. When I saw Bambi's mother listed as #2 we all pretty much knew who was #1. I was hoping you'd show clips of both the animated AND live action versions.
Sleeping beauty - maleficent hypnotizes rose and the chanting "Aurora" that freaked me out as a kid
Same.
Although Maleficent no longer scares me, that scene alone still creeps me out. Even to this day.
I remember use to have nightmares because of that chanting and the Faint sound that comes along with it..
The music part scares me
Yeah that's why I stopped sitting next to the fireplace for a long time after watching this
Aurora getting hypnotized is so much creepy, especially when I’m left in the dark got me nervous and scared.
I always thought the chase scene from Oliver and Company, McLeach's death from The Rescuers Down Under, and the fight/ chase scene in the castle from Robin Hood, Scroop's death from Treasure Planet, and the fight on Big Ben from The Great Mouse Detective were all pretty dark scenes from Disney

The original Pete's Dragon had a few moments that were pretty dark by modern standards. The whole idea that Pete was essentially sold into slavery and there's an entire song about it. Plus the song where they go into detail about how each internal organ of a dragon can be used for different miracle cures. Pretty sure the problematic themes are why the entire story got scrapped for the "remake".
Mufasa’s death: Even more than 25 years later, not one single teardrop is dried from one’s eye.
Simba’s Death always gives me goosebumps
But Simba didn't die
For me was Lampwick’s Jackass transformation
Mufasa 🤣
@@CLJordanMusic91 technically a simba did die.(simba means lion and mufasa is a lion)

"Night on Bald Mountain" gave me nightmares as a kid. My mom wouldn't let me and my sister watch it. We both had nightmares for months. I didn't like the pink elephant scene either.
Not even a mention for Gothel's death? That's always been pretty creepy in my opinion
Her subtle depiction of abuse is also quite creepy kids don’t understand at a young age so it goes over their heads but as an adult man that hits deep
With number 5. I remember. screaming when I saw that shoe die, same with the box trolls, when the trolls all got fake squished to death. I don't think anybody knows that movie but still it was heart wrenching
You know what kinda creeped me out as a child? That snake slithering through Ooogie Boogie's dice.
Bruh, my younger sister watched that movie every day after preschool
So glad you included Fantasia 2000-an under appreciated gem in my opinion!
honestly, Mufasa's death was so powerful that house pets both dogs and cats react to it so it's felt across the animal kingdom as well as us humans
The burned village in Mulan hit me SO hard when I first saw it. Remember crying so much like I hadn't done since watching Mufassa's death for the first time 😭😭😭😭
Honorable Mention:
The Hydra (Hercules)
Also the Underworld soul river scene where Hercules saves Meg’s soul.
Yup, the hydra scene fucked me up as a kid
While I think Mufasa's death deserves top spot, I really think that the scenes from "Hunchback of Notre Dame" and the burned village scene from "Mulan" deserved to be in the top five, as I think massacres, lust, and murder are much darker material than villains getting bigger.
The black cauldron forever haunts me, that was terrifying to see when you're just a toddler. 😂😂 My older sister watched it in bed one night with the lights off (we shared a room back then) and I cried the entire night and had to go in my mum's room with her! 😅😂
I cannot ever fast forward through Mufasa's death. The catharsis of crying about it is therapeutic for me. Plus, seeing Simba crawl under his paw is the best part. So tiny compared to his dad.

A lot of the older Disney movies had more disturbing moments than some of the newer ones on this list. Lady & the Tramp deserved a couple of honorable mentions cuz I cannot think about that movie without becoming an emotional wreck. A lot of scenes made me sad, but the scene with the rat was especially terrifying and when Trusty appears to get killed by the stagecoach-- it's a happy ending, but it's hard for me to get over the previous scene that fast. That's nearly as bad as them following up Bambi's mom with happy music and tweeting birds
I remember when my little brother cried when Mufasa died.
Understandable. I couldn't keep my eyes dry watching this video.
I often feel we became too scared to scare children nowadays. Everything has to be nice and cute. Which really isn't good for kids. I notice it with all television for children. When you look at old shows like saved by the bell of fresh prince it deals with a lot of mature themes. They don't do that anymore.
At least three kids' shows during the '90s were scary/disturbing: _Mulligrubs_ featured a face on a chroma-key screen talking in a squeaky high voice about various things; _Lift-Off_ featured among other weird segments a faceless doll that (in my head-canon) grew up into the Slender Man; and _Round the Twist_ was (in its first two seasons) a retelling of the works of Paul Jennings. All those shows are Australian in origin.
I’m from this generation and it’s a bit annoying how come everything is cute and all of that. I love being scared ngl
There are a few shows that are teaching kids about mature subject matters. Not many, but shows like Steven Universe, Legend of Korra (although that one was meant more for teens) and a few Disney series have some moments that are very relatable. Not much on scare tactics but definitely tackles a few subject matters.
@@mysticmind4563 Avatar The Last Airbender also touched on some mature/dark themes.
@@pinksheep406 I know, I thought that the show was old enough to be nostalgic so I didn't add it.
The sound of the horned king’s voice will make your blood run cold and send a shiver down your spine.
One of my favorite John Hurt performances!
His death terrified me when I was a kid. Being dragged into a cauldron with your skin being pulled off, nightmare fuel.
When you are a child, these dark moments scare you in a shocking way, but when you grow up, several of those dark moments can be satisfying like Clayton and Rourke's death.
I saw all of these as a child and the top three I found most disturbing back then was
1. Aurora being lured into the needle. Theres something about her face devoid of emotions that scared me as a child.
2. That donkey transformation was simply terrible to watch.
3. The evil queen's transformation.
"At least Tadashi went out a Hiro" Let's put that on a T-shirt!
I watched Hunchback of Notre Dame and I absolutely loved it, the movie uses its maturity as a weapon. (I’m a teenager, btw) It kinda reminded me of some gothic works like Bloodborne, slightly, and the music, characters are all great. I think it’s more popular now because people who were kids during that time are now respecting this movie because they are older, making it a well deserving cult classic IMO.
The 90's and early 2000's was a chill time.
Really, there is “Aurora is hypnotized” but not something really terrifying like the death of judge Claud Frollo? Plus Mufasa’s death is not scary or terrifying but traumatizing and there is much more frightening think than that, the Horned King death scene was the most terrifying thing I have ever seen in a Disney movie.
It’s gruesome and I am blind so I watch movies with audio descriptive and it is so much worse when it is being described
Frollo’s death is quite dark, considering his eyes were glowing red as he attempted to kill Esmerelda and Quasimodo just for the beam to crumble and the demon actually comes to life as to welcome him to the flames of hell.
Clayton's demise : Looks something out of a final destination movie
I 29 years old and lion king mufasa dies scene still get me years later when I saw it as kid my first dark moment with Disney I crying for days as a kid
It was always heart-rending when young Simba was tearfully pleading with his father to wake up, only to get manipulated into believing that he was responsible for Mufasa’s death
@@Charlie94781 and that got me so piss off to
Well, there's a scene from Disney's Zootopia, both Nick and Judy were running away from the Panther guy being shot with the
night howler flower dots and become savage. That was really frightening and scary. Disney knows how to make mature in darker tones.
Worst part the movie is so cute without that part
I feel like those dark moments were necessary for the young audience. Those old Disney movies are like the perfect balance of ying and yang. We need dark, grim moments to counterbalance the light-hearted, happy moments, otherwise the whole movie would feel unbalanced. Nowadays, the new Disney movies feel like they're off balance. Too much yin and not enough yang, you know.
Honorable Mention: Princess Mombi Wants Dorothy's Head, Return to Oz: Because a Headless Woman coming after you while her disembodied head screams at you is nightmare fuel.
That movie is f'd up
Yeah and when Dorothy is wheeled off into a room where she’s about to receive electroshock therapy. Sure, it’s a treatment for depression but Dorothy is awake during the procedure while ECT is supposed to be done under general anesthesia
Really obsessed with these videos! Always watch immediately after uploading. Stay safe out there everyone😇❤️
I personally think the scariest thing for me as a child was from the treasure planet, how they were escaping at the end. Gosh, that one was frightening, and also, Claiton's death. It gives me chills even now, when I'm 20 already
The lion king really looked at Bambi and said “cute… hold my drink.”
Finding Nemo's opening, a mother's death and a school of unborn fish get killed and we're left with an emotional scared father and a son thats handicapped
