In some ways, children are harder to scare than adults. If you don't believe us, go back and watch some of the movies you loved as a little kid. You'll be surprised to find that, at random spots, they've inserted scenes that are bizarre, hallucinogenic and/or just plain sphincter-bustingly scary. Such as... #7.
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory: The Boat Ride
Beloved Because... It's the uplifting story of Charlie, a down on his luck kid living with his impoverished grandparents who obtains a rare golden ticket allowing him a tour of Willy Wonka's awesome and wondrous candy factory in a premise that even Michael Jackson would describe as "a little creepy." Right off the bat the kids see Wonka's delicious candy room, where everything is edible and thus completely awesome. After an unfortunate mishap wherein a fat kid drowns in a river of chocolate (it's how he would've wanted to go, really), Wonka invites the remaining survivors to hop aboard his boat, where he informs them that they're "going to love this." But Then, the Horror... Aaaaaand Willy Wonka reveals himself to be a fucking psychopath. First the passengers, and us, are treated to a flying monster tearing through some trees:
Now here's a dead guy with a centipede on his face in some kind of green fart mist:
Now it's eyeball time:
Giant lizard eating something, possibly a child? Affirmative:
And let's not forget the bug-eyed sociopath reciting a song that would later be featured on a Marilyn Manson album:
Exactly what part of "this" we were supposed to "love" is unclear, but presumably it's the part when the boat ride ends and we're allowed to clean the shit from our pants. #6.
Dumbo: Pink Elephants
Beloved Because... With the help of a mouse and some unspeakably racist crows, Dumbo is able to rise above his physical deformity and realize his full potential to become a circus sensation! Truly an inspiration for us all. But Then, the Horror... Disney teases our fear glands early, when Dumbo's mother goes banana sandwich and savagely beats the dogshit out of a young child. But they really go for the gold later on when Dumbo gets drunk, an experience which the filmmakers apparently confused with taking a shitload of bad acid.
The thing only lets up for a minute (starting at 4:15) before the whole sequence is topped off with epileptic madness.
We understand if Disney was trying to discourage underage drinking, but holy shit. We expected to come back from this to find that Dumbo had used shards of glass to cut off his own face. #5.
Pinocchio: Pleasure Island
Beloved Because... Pinocchio tells the story of a wooden puppet who longs to be a real boy. There's also something about a cricket and an old man, and a rampaging murderous whale.
The theme of the movie is the importance of honesty and a strong moral compass. If you are a good little boy, you will have a happy life... But Then, the Horror... ...but if you're bad, you will pay. Holy shit will you pay. Specifically, The Coachman will come and find you. See, The Coachman has a couple of goons in his employ that lure burgeoning young thugs to his Pleasure Island, which sounds like the plot of an America's Most Wanted re-enactment but is actually what happens in the movie.
On the island, the boys get to indulge in their bad side: smoking and drinking and playing billiards, which for some reason are portrayed as illegal.
Their indulgences lead to an inevitable and wholly terrifying transformation into donkeys. Which is bad enough, but then...
Really, Disney? The fucking salt mines? Having them shipped off in boxes marked "Tijuana: Donkey Show" would've been less frightening than dooming them to a lifetime of grueling underground slave labor. At least at the donkey show they'd get laid. #4.
Mickey and the Beanstalk: Donald Duck Loses It
Beloved Because... This of course is the Disney retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk, and once again everything seems fairly normal at first. A kindly narrator paints the scene as we see best buddies Goofy, Donald and Mickey sharing their meager amount of food.
But Then, the Horror... Out of nowhere, right at 1:55, somebody starts playing a Cannibal Corpse record in Donald's mind and he has an all-out Christian Bale meltdown at the dinner table: He also tells the narrator to shut up and then starts eating his plate and silverware.
Goofy and Mickey try to calm him down, but Donald notices an axe on the wall and, knowing they have a cow, makes the arguably sensible decision to kill it so the three of them can eat. It's worth noting that this is the Disney universe, where animals have human thoughts and emotions (not all of them comprised of 100 percent psychotic rage) so this is essentially attempted murder by a crazed cannibal.
Goofy and Mickey wrestle the axe away from him just in time for Mickey to sell the cow for some magic fucking beans. This causes Donald to leap up to the ceiling and start pulling his hair out in a white-hot psychotic fury.
It's a bit much for children, sure, but we really can't fault Disney for showing a realistic depiction of desperate insanity, because honestly, we would've killed and eaten Mickey by this point.

6 Magical Movie Items They Wasted on Bullshit
6 Movie Plots Made Possible by Bafflingly Bad Decisions
i don't see what was scary about the donald duck scene, i thought it was hilarious!!!!
i really didn't mind the boat part for willy wonka, but looking back on it, its pretty creepy./
Wow, I've seen 6 out of 7 here and not a single of these scared me when I was a kid. I wonder how I grew up to be such a scaredy cat =/
I totally remember watching #4 when I was a kid. I laughed so hard seeing the video for it because the memories of that video just flooded back to me. I never thought of how much of a psycho Donald was back then, but I see it now and see how he's just crazy as s**t!
What about the entire Wizard of Oz? Right from Dorothy falling into the pigstye (pig s**t on my only dress! merde!), to Miss Gultch ripping the doggy out of her arms to take to the slaughterhouse (I have paperwork! Paperwork that says your dog is dead meat! You are poor and poor people’s dogs die), to the f**king scary twister (scarier if you live in a state that HAS TWISTERS and have ever been awakened at night to hide in the basement, waiting for your house to be ripped away), to the witch, to the whole witch thing, oh yeah the witch! And being chased by goddamn flying monkeys! Flyyyyyyy my pretties! Then, the witch’s castle (that’s all the time left you’ve got to stay alive! And it isn’t long, my pretty. it isn’t long!). Finally, the horror of awakening to your brown wallpaper and angry, chore-dispensing aunt. Pigs ain’t’ bout to slop theyselves child! Eat a fritter and get on with you! Something with poison in it....but attractive to the eye, and soothing to the smell.....Love that quote
You forgot to mention the horror of Dick Van Dyke's accent in Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang. Let's all have that song (the bits of it we remember) stuck in our head all night. Also, my brother's expert opinion was that the animators were totally high on something for that pink elephants scene. I love the ones on the roller coaster. But I was more traumatized by them locking up Dumbo's mother.
The only scene I fully agree with is the Willy Wonka boat ride, that one scared me s**tless as a kid. Why? Because they CHOP OFF A CHICKEN'S HEAD.... how did you MISS THAT? Fuck worms, a LIVING CHICKEN'S HEAD.
Oh and Pleasure Island had beer drinking, cigar smoking, and pool. I especially agree with pool as a worthy vice. But, one vice was missing. Where was the f**king brothel full of large breasted pedophile whores? I demand that Disney redo that scene. I mean it's not like Disney's opposed to the idea of large breasted whores. You've got the original PotC ride. And, the nod to them in Hook. The blondes in Beauty and the Beast (or why Gaston was a f**king idiot, they wanted him and they were triplets for Christ's sake!). As well I'm sure as lots of others I'm forgetting.
Maybe somebody mentioned this before me, but I kept waiting and waiting for the scene with Satan from the old Mark Twain claymation movie to show up on this list. It was truly creepy.
Maybe someone else farther down the Comments has already mentioned this; but Pleasure Island in Pinocchio is even more horrifying when you consider that this did not just mean the dehumanization of the boys to live a life of back breaking labor, but also there's the life expectancy issue. It probably wouldn't surprise you to hear that for a long time life expectancy in salt mines was bad due in no small part to the terrible working conditions. But, the overseers of these places were less inclined to give a s**t about the work conditions because even if the work conditions had been ideal the prolonged exposure to the mineral salt dusts saturating the air were extremely harmful to the health of the workers and animals of burden alike. This is why these places throughout history almost exclusively employed slaves, enemies captured in war, and serious criminals. It's also why there was a high and continuous demand for replacement workers and animals. It was a guaranteed and miserable death sentence. And, to make it even worse these kids now burros had no human voice with which to plead for someone to save them. So, "Really, Disney? The f**king salt mines?"
Both Hexxus from Ferngully and the movie "Don't Look Under the Bed" as a whole are more terrifying than this entire list put together. Just try to prove me wrong.

In Willy Wonka, you forgot about the part where the dove-pigeon-winged creature gets smashed. By a foot. Disney has pretty much formed my nightmares since I was born. Too bad I grew up on it. With that kind of history, it's no wonder I'm screwed up.
I completely agree with Snow White. That was the number-one source of my nightmares as a kid, no kidding.
Let kids be scared. It builds character. We don't need to shelter them from everything.
That scene from Pinocchio scared me more now as a grown-up child than when I was as an actual child. That part when the donkey screams for his mother is frightening!

saj1090: haha glad sumone knew what i was talking about with that sing-a-long! Willy Wonka says he knows a worse habbit when he's looking at the gum girl so yeah maybe he means chewing gum all the time... but hello she's PICKING HER NOSE at the time! :P Princess Mononoke is totally gross and freaky and i watched it for the first time as a teenager... its anime and i dont know i feel its not truely a kids movie... but agreed its freaky as all hell... and Spirited Away was also creepy and i saw it as a teen... god at one point the giant baby says to the girl "play with me. play with me or i'll break your arm!" ... also the girl's parents are turned into pigs and then there's No Face who frickin eats people/swallows them whole..... and the boy/dragon who spits blood all over the place at sum point.... oh and the witch never turns into a dragon in Snow White...... that happens in Sleeping Beauty
Haha this is perfect. Right before I read it I was thinking "Wonka Boat Scene" and you hit the nail on the hit with everything else. Pinocchio is f**ked to hell scary.
Pee-Wee's Big Adventure scared the s**t out of me as a kid.
Watership Down?

How about Who Framed Roger Rabbit? where Christopher Lloyd's eyes pop out and he gets run over by a steam roller? Not to mention the toxic goo that melts characters to death? Or does it not count as a kid's movie since it's satire?
I thought this article was funny as hell but I have to say I've watched most if not all of these movies recently with my 5 year old (my father sent me all of our old VHS movies). Neither she nor I found anything disturbing or frightening about these movies. She hasn't even had a nightmare from any of them. My daughter isn't even scared by the "monsters" on Halloween. All she'll say is, "that monster isn't scary, he's different." Not the way most normal children act but when you are in the military and go to new countries you have to teach your kids not to be afraid of things that are different. As to how we survived? Really, don't even ask that question with any seriousness. How do the children in other countries survive when they see a family member get mauled by a wild beast? How do children survive when they are sold into the sex trade as young as 8? We improvise and over come. All people block out things or let it destroy them. It is a defense mechanism we all have. Do I have fears? Yes, but not from any movies I've ever seen. And if anyone truly thinks these movies are horrific go watch your kids play some of the video games or watch some of the shows on the air. How about this, anyone seen the news lately?

"spitting is a dirty habit, I know a worse one" um what wonka? He looks right at Veruca, so um chewing gum all the time you nit! oh, the umpa song kinda gives that away too. Honestly, most of these scenes are VERY disturbing, and amazing to look back on, and see what we actually enjoyed as a child. However, most of us had no idea to be disturbed by this stuff at 5yrs old, the moral message was all that got through our thick skulls. Only later when we are much older do we see just how weird this parts were.
This is SUCH a funny article and I agree with all of these movies. Our generation was so terrorized - how did we survive!! :) You forget until you show your own child those movies for the first time.. However, how can you forget the Wizard of OZ?! The flying Monkeys haunted me for years! I would have to go to bed just as they were crossing the field of poppies - because I knew those evil monkeys were coming! I have a friend who still won't watch this movie, even as an adult!
I just remember watching Snow White in the theater. There were several scenes (the forest, the witch turning into a dragon) that I screamed so loudly my Mom had to cover my eyes while I covered my ears. Great kids movie, I tell you! I won't even watch it to this day. Oh, and the witch being crushed? At that point I was so f**king scared of her that I saw that as a relief.
Ok so da Boat scene in Willy Wonka is my FAVORITE part Im a weirdo... Pinocchio well they was jus tryin to show kids if u smoke & drink u look like a Jackass which is true & ok maybe they went a lil far w the whole salt mine thing lol... Snow White well da scariest part was dat damn guy w the knife and the box but the forest part maybe it was jus showin how even if ur scared and about to s**t ur goddamn pants its better to get away from an evil b***hw ho wants ur heart & pretty much ur face too... The Brave Little Toaster wow dat msg was sayin stay the hell away from the A.C. & the window so theres a lesson there but those Goddamn clowns wtf I hate clowns(I only saw the brave little toaster once now u kno y) Chitty Chitty Bang Bang wth! Da whole damn movie is scary weird guys runnin around wearin weird s**t doin weird s**t & kidnappin kids not a f**kin kids movie... Donald Duck was f**kin hungry @ least he didnt attack Mickey & Goofy(s**t I wuda got Mickey first he's more annoyin then he decides to sell a perfectly good cow for sum damn beans! wth are they gonna do w/ beans)... Okay & Dumbo omg wtf wtf wtf! Not only were the f**kin elephants scary as s**t den they make the elephants look like clown elephants & have them doin Christina Aguilera Genie in the bottle dances wtf is dat! HORRIBLE
The fat boy did not drown in the river of chocolate in the original Willy Wonka. He was sucked up in a tube and delivered to another part of the factory. It was made very clear that none of the children who didn't make it all the way throught the factory were hurt. Let's keep the facts straight here at least.
You didn't even mention the chicken getting is head chopped off in the Psyco Boat Ride. Maybe that was just a random shot from Willy's kitchen? Chicken soup anyone?

The boat ride was one of my favorite parts of Willy Wonka! Also, I finally know what movie #3 was from. I've only seen the movie once, and all I remember of it is that scene, and until now I couldn't remember what it was from. Eventually I thought I had made it up. Nice to know someone else's imagination is just as screwed up as mine (though it does make me wonder if growing up this stuff is why my mind is so messed up).

Look at all these new subgestions. I think its time for another list!
Also this article is right on the money, I remember all those disney films. I think little kids just cant see how scary it is though right? I mean at that stage in life its a strange wonder, they don't know about drugs and such. Just monsters, and being able to follow a story even if its all unreal.
I love this site for reminding me of The Little Toaster, I used to watch it religiously as a little kid back when it came out. I'm shure taht I am messed up now due to the help of films like these. Speaking of acid, its time to watch Little Toaster once again.
@ezmoed: Apparently, picking your nose.
My kid love to see cartoon . Duck tales is the favourite cartoon of him. Also this videos reminds me my childhood. Thanks for the awesome post. xmas gifts
"Spitting is a dirty habit!" "I know a worse one." UM. WHAT, WONKA?
Watch Princess Mononoke its Disney. LOTS of gore and a scary ass bore spirit with red eyes and these worm like things eating its flesh. Not to forget that the forest spirit (its been a LONG while since I watched it) a deer, is decapitated.

and i'd like to add a few honorable mentions: 1. The scene with the rats from Fievel, an American Tale 2. The scene from the great mouse detective where the bad mouse does something like break into the house 3. The scene from peewee with the clown montage and the trucker scene
to ugh: i had that movie too, i know what youre talking about. "Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize..."
Antz is f**ked up. It took me a moment to convince myself that yes, that ant's head is detached from his body and yes, he is still talking, asking if he's going to be ok, and yes, this is supposed to be a kid's movie as far as I know. But apparently people have been putting some pretty subversive stuff into kids' movies for a long time.

Yeah... so that Dumbo getting drunk part was really scary for me too and the Toaster movie, but why wasn't "all dogs go to heaven" mentioned? That movie scarred me for life as a child. I watched it again recently and I felt so bad for the children that have seen it and might have been watching it the same exact time I was watching it too (as i was watching it on OnDemand. ) and then I felt bad for myself and a little upset with how my parents forced their religion on me which caused me to be so scared of the damn movie and be so in love with it too. I wanted to be Anne Marie and be adopted by earth angels that do not really exist but I'm just being poetic here. :) If you haven't watched it, I suggest you do.
How about on the movie "Ants" when the main character is holding the detached dying head of his colony member and having a conversation with it in a field littered with severed body parts? or When the wasp couple is cut in half at the picninc when that fly swatter came down on the female while the two were kissing! then the Male goes off and becomes an alcoholic and drunk flies teh main character to insectopia. Gore, horror,death, and alcoholism! I just always got very upset about that wasp man losing his luvvy kins :(
Dude, remember Malificent from Sleeping Beauty? That b***h was scary. And Large Marge from Pee Wee's Big Adventure also scared the crap out of me when I was little.
WATERSHIP DOWN has a nice feast of disturbing animated imagery. Evil Bunnies + Crazy Bunnies + Dead Bunnies = Good Old-Fashioned Nightmare Fuel!!
In Brave Little Toaster, the air conditioner is PHIL HARTMAN. I thought it was Jack Nicholson, then I thought it was someone doing a bad impersonation of Jack Nicholson, THEN I found out it was Phil Hartman. And it does sound like he's doing an impersonation of Jack Nicholson.
My friends recommended me a very interesting place __AgelessFriends.com__ It's a nice and free place for Younger Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to interact with each other. Age gap is not a problem there. You may wanna check it out and tell your friends.
okay about the toaster thing.. who eats an entire piece of toast in one bite? lmaoo.
Those aren't that bad. I present to you, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer....the part where he meets Satan and has to kill a village of innocent people. Not even kidding. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q29CmMHSQ3M
The forest scene in Snow White is definitely the scariest thing on a kid's movie. I agree with everybody who mentioned Fern Gully. Hexxus scared the crap out of me as a little kid. And the Hellfire scene in the Hunchback of Notre Dame still freaks me out.
What about Alice In Wonderland. The whole film was f**ked up. The Queen Of Hearts especially. I'm 27 and I still can't watch it.
The chicken decapitation in Willy Wonka should have been mentioned...that was always the worst part. I was also an unfortunate child to have seen the Donald Duck one, and Brave Little Toaster...the cars at the junk yard and the scene in the repair shop are also worth a mention. One kid's movie that could have been on here (and one I, thankfully, never saw until college)..."Return to Oz", Disney film. Let me put it this way: In the opening scenes, doctors are about to perform electroconvulsive therapy on Dorothy to "cure" her "hallucinations". It just goes downhill from there.
Actually, to me the most terrifying scene in Snow White was when the Queen decides to transform herself into an old crone. I mean think about it, ironically, she concocts a tripped out potion to make herself resemble the Old Witch from EC Comics, all for a demented plan to do away with Snow White. Just so the former Queen can make herself the fairest in all the land. That is, if she had somehow mysteriously survived (as the Disney Comics inexplicably claimed time and again), and found a way for transforming her back. Terrifying in the fact she actually thought her scheme would work in the first place.. she's lucky all the poisoned apple did was knock Snow White out, for it could've made her like Donald in the Beanstalk scene and go all psycho on the old crone.. Just sayin'.
Brave Little Toaster is one of my favorite movies and I've seen it way too many times, so I'll add a few more terrifying moments: - Blanket's acid trip at the beginning. - Lampy deliberately electrocuting himself/being struck by lightning - Blanket almost blowing off into the f**king wind - Kirby's attempted suicide when they encounter the waterfall and he tries to eat his own cord - Everyone sinking into the mud - Radio nearly having his parts harvested while still alive - Sentient cars being smashed to bits as other doomed vehicles watch - Rob narrowly escaping being crushed at the garbage dump... - ...due to Toaster being CRUNCHED UP ALIVE inside tons of gears scary goddamn movie, sirs.
the brave little toaster scene is definitely the most scary thing i ever saw as a kid, and it still scares me right now just seeing those pictures of it! seriously i was horrified seeing that just now... goddamn air conditioner was such a dick!
It's not a full-length movie, but a child's film that scared me so bad I had nightmares (and your talking to a person who saw Psycho at 7) and gave me a life long case of claustrophobia. It's an old black and white Porky Pig cartoon. Porky (a child in this cartoon) was at the table eating like, well, like a pig. His mother told him that if he didn't slow down, Old Man Indigestion was going to get him. Porky said something in the order of "Banana Oil" and went to bed. There he dreamed he was at Old Man Indigestions house. He knocked at the door and a sweet old man opened the door. Behind him was a table packed with about every type of food you can think of. The sweet old man invited Porky in, told him to sit down and have something to eat. Porky did, steel bars came out of the chair and held in and two mechanical arms came out, one grabbing him by his nose and the other by his chin. The old mans voice changed and he order Porky to have all he can eat. The arms began working to cause a chewing motion and arms came out of the table and began shoving food in Porky's face. Good time, good times.
I can't believe the chicken being decapitated in the Willy Wonka tunnel scene wasn't mentioned. It was the most disturbing part - scarred for life!
Hey, what about the scene in Brave Little Toaster where the vacuum tries to kill himself? That was one of the most f**ked-up things i ever saw.
also there this disney sing-a-long tape we used to have..... its all fun and happy til at one point they get to this creepy mansion with hugh swaying trees with eyes... and all the disney villains! ... its live action so every one is just in oversized costumes/ mascot heads with crazy make-up.......... but yea and the song totally gave me the chills every time!!
Nobody's mentioned The Adventures of Mark Twain? Dear God. First off, it's claymation so its already fashioned from the bowel excrement of hell. Second, Mark Twain is generally creepy and its implied that when he catches up with Haley's Comet (which he spends the entire time chasing after with his friends/stroke hallucinations Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn, and Becky Thatcher) he intends to die or commit suicide. Then there's Satan. That's right. Claymation Satan. And he's a goddamn theater mask. A hovering theater mask who talks like a pedophile. Yeah, many's the happy dream based around the premise of Satan animating some little claymation people and then callously murdering them like the psychopath he would have to be. Dear God. When claymation monstrosity versions of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn start losing their s**t you know its good for someone's psyche. Let's slap a G rating on it and show it in Kindergarten classrooms. Which they did at my school. Right before the raid. (Shudder.)
no one ever mentions heffalumps and woozles from winnie the pooh and the blustery day
We also can't forget Fern Gully. The giant lizard that has a funky jam about digesting the principle hero in detail while picking off sentientized critters left and right. The main bad guy, Hexxus. goes from a sarcastic and creepy piece of goo to a chubby freaky piece of smoke to a giant flaming f**king skeleton monster. The list is a good one though, I'd find it hard to pick only 7. Oh yeah, for almost constant f**ked up terror try watching "babes in toyland."
Has nobody mentioned "The Witches" yet? That movie scared the everloving s**t out of me when I was a kid. Damn Roald Dahl and the old school British education that f**ked him up so much.

As long as the Pinocchio scene gets its proper props, I'm happy. Speaking of which, it should so totally 100% have been top of the list. Also, I suppose The Adventures of Mark Twain isn't classic enough to be here? Because people have only heard of it because of that scary-ass bit on YouTube, but nevertheless, God damn. It's a scary-ass bit.
OMG, that f**king air conditioner part always scared me lol Nice job, but there should be a part 2 of this. I suggest making fun of the horror in The Secert of Nimh and Watership Down....Watership Down is probably the most disturbing animated movie I can think of....
In Sweden the forrest scene in Snow White was censored from 1938-1992, that's f**king scary s**t when they won't even allow adults to watch it for 54 years.

Alice in wonderland!! She almost f**king drowns in her own tears!
was calling the vacuum cleaner kirby a reference to kirby the little marshmellow on steroids who loves to suck?
Has no one mentioned Watership Down? It's PG, though that was before PG-13 existed, so perhaps it wouldn't quite count as a kid's movie, but holy crap is that horrifying. Just check out the trailer, especially 55 seconds in (direct link to that time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h51wP9If5BQ#t=55s) when the whole hill runs red with the blood of rabbits. *shudder*
The scariest bit in the brave little toaster for me as a kid was the scrapyard. That predatory magnetic thing feeding defenceless "creatures" into a gaping mouth of crushing teeth. Also, you forgot another scene of horror - three words "Trust in Me"...
I had bed wetting nightmares for years from both Dumboo and the brave little toaster.....
Thank you for putting in the brave little toaster, when I saw it when I was 3 the movie scared the living s**t out of me! That scene with the air conditioner was the reason I always prefer the couches over chairs in my TV room. The chairs were right next to the window, and I moved to the couch the second the air conditioner started turning red! Until my parents redecorated the room, moving the chairs to a different side, I never sat on them. Plus, the pinnocchi thing should be higher on the list. Watching that kid beg for help, and the kids all crying and screaming for help. It took me ages to suppress, and I only remembered today why I've always had a strong desire not to watch pinocchio. I don't remember what it was exactly, but I remember an old Disney tape that was live action and had some sort of haunted thing in it, I can't remember it, but I remember it scaring me a bit.
Actually the black couldron is freacking hilarious in dutch. Everything's so much funnier in dutch
those were my favorite parts in all of those moves and still are. And yes I know the are totally dimented but thats what makes them awsome!

snow white? that one wasnt that bad. Secret of nimh scared the crap outta me as a kid! i still havent seen it since. What about that end scene in Fantasia? the one with the freakin devil and the ghosts rising from their graves with that cracked out music?? Or what about the Black cauldron!? with the terrifying horned king with his glowing red eyes and skeletal claw-like fingers.... and his army of undead zombie/ghost soldiers who will never die but just kill anything in their path? dude i had one of the worst nightmares of my life after watching this. OR the Princess and the Goblin? hello, a creeper goblin wants to drag this poor girl down into his underground liar and keep her as his bride (o yea and he's like a million times older than her) ...and all the critters of the nite want to attack u for no reason. AND ur not even safe in ur own home! they come up through the basement floor of her castle to kidnap her! nice... great message for children.
These examples are actually proof of why older animation was the best! Animation should not be afraid to show such scenes, since children need to be exposed to death and aging and scary things, as animation is the primary tool to educate kids about the real world. Seeing death in a cartoon, however scary and sad ot may be, helps kids understand that in the real world things do die, and often not everything turns out so nice. Today's kids not see such things in their animation, that'swhy they grow up to be such pussies.
the trucker and clown surgeon scenes from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure used to ensnare me in a prism of terror when i was a young child.
I remember being absolutely TERRIFIED by the Dumbo: Pink Elephants scene as a kid the first time I saw it. You expect to see a cute little elephant realize his dream, and are met with a scene of Dumbo experiencing something akin to a really bad case of LSD symptoms. It's freaking wrong. Almost as disturbing as Walt Disney's anti-Nazi cartoon depicting the Nazi version of the tale of Sleeping Beauty. (This can all be found on YouTube. Boredom does wonders.)
I have to agree with everyone that mentioned The Secret of NIMH. The scenes of rat hallucinations (see this video after the 3:30 mark - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AcIYUM6VCc) are enough to make my 30-something ass pucker - I'm not sure how I survived this as an 8 year old. Also, look at the great owl scene (start at 5:00 in this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jzraioowel4). Ta-da.
Walt Disney has a very interesting sense of humor.
The freaky dog/rat things from Willow scare the s**t out of me.

I strongly feel they should add Who Framed Roger Rabbit to this list. Not only does the man in the yellow jacket literally melt in the end but also, the weasel's are just creepy throughout. this movie game me such bad night mares when I was younger that I STILL refuse to watch it.
@freemaljf - funny that you call that other user retarded when you're making huge racial presumptions and talking about the power rangers whilst having a one-man debate with yourself btw, willy wonka's psychotic nature and the mind twisting scenes from the boat and all is really creepy.

Couldn't agree more on including the Childcatcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I believe I saw the film in its original release plus several times on TV thereafter and I still cant get "Lollipops!.....Lollipops!......and ALL.....FREE.......TODAYYYYY" out of my head all these years later!
I'm so glad The Brave Little Toaster was on the list! The scene with the air conditioner made me cry as a little girl. I'm surprised they didn't include the scene where the lamp was out in the storm and electrocuted himself, or when the vacc*m almost choked to death on his own cord, or also when the modern appliances start singing and closing in on the old appliances like some sort of Borg army on a drug trip... You know, I don't know that there was any part of that movie that was actually child-friendly.
Anyone remember a mediocre little movie called Once Upon a Forest? In order to impress upon the young audience the importance of preserving the environment from pollution, a family of adorable badgers is gassed to death in a mini-Bhopal-style accident within the first 10 minutes of the movie. Not cool, guys :-(
I'm 30 years old and still can't watch the f**ked up boat ride scenes in willy Wonka
The scene in The Brave Little Toaster where the Phil Hartman air conditioner blew the f**k up used to scare me so bad as a kid that I used to INSIST that my mom fast forward to the next scene. As for the clown part, I think I suppressed that memory... because I didn't remember it at all, but when I saw it, it brought with it a terrified feeling I hadn't felt in years.
Woah, I didn't think anyone else had seen #4 before! 2:13 used to scare the living s**t out of me!
I don't remember that character from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. All I remember is them flying through the air and singing a song before the credits role. As for the Brave Little Toaster. I rewatched it recently, and found I had forgotten the clown scene entirely. I hadn't however forgotten the giant magnet, humming like a swarm of killer bees as it went out of it's way to crush everything. Still, nothing has ever scared me more than the air conditioner, screaming in anger as it bursts into flames and explodes.
Chitty-Chitty CHIT MY PANTS! The childcatcher traumatized me as a child in a darkened movie theater, and still disturbs me when I watch the movie now with my kids. I have to reassure them that it's only a movie, because they get freaked out. I've never read the original Ian Fleming story, but I don't doubt he put that monster in there. He surely wasn't responsible for the Disney songbook!
Wizard of Oz - Flying monkeys ... those should be on the list somewhere.
Bambi was more of a sad factor rather than the "I just s**t my pants terrified and I'm too old for diapers" factor. The list didn't take into account any Japanese kids films (not just animated) which totally would've trumped anything on this list (Miyazaki anyone). Of course this is the land that invented this: http://www.lolzporn.com/porn/j*panese-barbie-tentacle-not-included.html .
WOW This was wild. I thought 101 dalmations and Bambi would make it but they didn't even get a comment. Those were the scary ones I remember. I don't remember being scared during Wonka but all the Disney films had some nasty scenes or characters. Wonka was just f**ked up. Gene Wilder is a genius! (same birthday as me...what happened?)
I find this funny, because most of the moments mentioned here are some of my favorite parts of the movies when I was a kid...what does that say about me?
I particularly hate david bowie on labyrinth. I hate his so much when i was a kid. brings me nightmares and the wheelers from the oz - crazed lunatics. - Neil Philippines
the carebears movie where the scary face is in the book, and they have to close the book and squish the face freaked the SH*T out of me when i was a kid! of course, thats what i get for watching the carebears movie... thank god this is anonymous
"What're you gonna do, suck me to death?" Hahah. #1 is definitely in the right place. That f**king forest scene made me cry when I watched Snow White when I was little.
"Does anyone remember the cartoon version of Watership Down? I don't remember which part exactly, just that that movie used to scare me pretty badly and I would always end up in tears." "2 words - Watership Down" Hell yeah. I used to watch this damn movie all the time when I was 3 or 4. I watched it again at 6 (my grandparents owned the thing) and it scared the hell out of me. It's definitely not a kid's cartoon - the ghost rabbit, all the rabbits suffocating and screaming under the earth when their burrow is filled in by the farmer, the rabbit choking to death with the snare around his throat, the cat attacking the rabbits and holding them down with her claws buried in them, the huge black dog fighting the blood-and-foam covered General Woundwort (who, if I remember right *killed* one of his underlings) . . . and then the body of the General was *never found.* From ages 6 - 7 I was convinced that damn rabbit lived under my bed. Then my grandmother bought me a set of Watership Down figurines, complete with the General. I spent a year turning that thing to face the wall every morning and every night because my grandmother always turned it back around when I wasn't looking . . . Seriously: Google images of General Woundwort. Experience horror. Enjoy sleeping.

Does anyone remember the image from the Willy Wonka montage where the chicken's head is chopped off? I'm really suprised you didn't feature that little gem. I'm not sure if it was deleted from subsequent releases but it was definitely featured in the original.
I this was a terrific article, but I would have wanted to see a longer list, maybe to include the battle scene in AntZ when the army of termites attacks the good ant army by shooting acid out of their foreheads at them... the death scene of Barbatus' head (voiced by Danny Glover), albeit deliciously ironic, could freak the s**t out of most. also Quote: I seem to recall reading somewhere that the Child-catcher was only added to 'Chitty-chitty-bang-bang' after they got Roald Dahl to tweak the script. After that, it all started to make sense. (P-75) Would have liked to have seen The Witches on this list as well... but for those who can't get enough Roald Dahl scary-assness, read The Great Glass Elevator... the Vermicious Knids scared me (and scarred me) bats**t for weeks!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtrYO-Mog60 ... D8 Dot and the Kangaroo messes up children.
I don't really get why Snow White is on that list. Except that all the children who first saw it in 1937 literally peed their pants with fright (seriously, they had to clean the seats after every showing of this movie). Okay, so maybe it does belong there.

Seriously I would have tried to kill Mickey as well. How can one be scammed so easily?
God, I used to love that toaster movie!
i also think the wheelers in return to oz are particularly frightening... not to mention the headless witch!
Disney has to get a special prize or something for making the forests in their movies always look creepy and scary. Hey, that's probably why california has so many wildfires in forests, they created arsonists with deep fear issues of trees!
None of you know s**t, Silver Fang is THE most dreadful kids show ever made. Although it had the rating of R in most parts of the world, in Scandinavia there is a long tradition of believing that EVERYTHING that is in cartoon form is for kids. Enter anime. Silver Fang was imported by a private company, they cut out the worst part of the gore, dubbed it to swedish and rented it out on 4 VHS tapes to unsuspecting kids. I still have nightmares about a gigantic bear going on a rampage and killing humans while blood spray. I actually honest to God dreamt about it last night... I hate that bear so much.

Oh hell yeah, i only saw Pinocchio once when i was really little and all i remember is that the donkey scene scared the s**t out of me, which is why i have refused to watch it ever since. I didnt really work to deter me from smoking or drinking, i'm just frightened of that kid he was playing billiards with.
"Snow White would make a great horror film" they actually made a horribly bad one, with sigourney weaver. Great article btw.
"Snow White would make a great horror film" they actually made a horribly bad one, with sigourney weaver. Great article btw.
What about Alice in Wonderland? Has to be the most nightmarish kids movie ever, although pinocchio scarred me for life as well.
The Brave Little Toaster is such an awesome movie
"Hey, Snow White would make a great horror film " Indeed. Actually, the tale's origin is to be found in VIIIth and IXth-Century Europe, where it was commonplace for Merovingian kings and queens to murder every family member who could represent a threat (in Snow White's case, she's the king's only child and legitimate heiress, so her stepmother wants her dead). In an old book I had as a kid, Snow White returns to her father with the prince, a quick judgment takes place, and the evil queen is thrown alive into a pit full of venomous snakes. Now these were fairy tales!
=.= I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees the traumatization in the forest scene. That's the scariest part of the whole freakin movie. Hey, Snow White would make a great horror film :D.
Man, I'd run through that forest any day of the week if it meant that Rapes Anderson Childf**k at #2 didn't come within 100 miles of my town.
Holy s**t. I was watching the Air Conditioner video thinking "This movie isn't THAT messed up. Why's it so high up on the list?" Then I watched the second video. Good God. I think the scariest part was where the clown goes "Run." But Wonka should have been higher up. Why not mention the bit where you see actualy footage of a chicken's head getting cut off? Messed me up as a kid.
Disney pretty much takes the cake for disturbing kids scenes. I think the only thing worse would be seeing their characters porking each other... oh wait. That's already been done: http://www.lolzporn.com/porn/disney-characters-do-go-wild.html . Must go bleach eyes.
The last part of The Three Caballeros is basically Donald on an acid trip. I'm fairly certain the rooster and the parrot that are meant to be his friends explode and there's a malevolent pinata. I saw that film first when I was 4 and it disturbed me so much I haven't been able to watch it since and South America scares me for reasons beyond the high crime rate and deadly, deadly spiders.
Any of you ever have to cut back a Virginia Creeper? Its not too far off from that Snow White scene...
I remember being frightened by the pink elephants in Dumbo, but what scared me more was the Heffalumps and Woozles song in Winnie the Pooh. It was very similar to the pink elephants. The song was very... creepy.
what about large marge from pee wees big adventure when i was little i had to leave the room when that part was coming up
The Snow White scene should have not been number 1. Maybe The Brave Little Toaster or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. When I was little the scene that scared me the most was the giant magnet thing in the Brave Little Toaster.
I seem to recall reading somewhere that the Child-catcher was only added to 'Chitty-chitty-bang-bang' after they got Roald Dahl to tweak the script. After that, it all started to make sense.
While I wasn't a scared kid really at all, select parts of the Brave Little Toaster scared the f**k out of me. I was scared by the air conditioner scene, when the vacuum sucked up his own cord (I actually STILL take special care to not run over the cord because of a sliver of fear left that my vacuum is going to go apes**t when I do), and by the spare parts shop. Believe it or not, though, the clown dream didn't affect me at all.
1) Pinnochio needs to be higher up on that list. Those donkey boys were never rescued and the men resPonsible were never brought to justice. Pinnochio just escaped and pretty much left 'em to their fate. Most of the other characters on this list either lived happily ever after or got their comeuppance. The bad guys won here, and children got turned into beasts of burden and sold into slavery. On the up side, Pinnochio probably did alright with the ladies since all the "bad boy" types were done away with. 2) How is E.T. not on this list? Elliot waking up on a lawn chair in his backyard with a hunching, groaning silohuette hobbeling towards him friggin' nightmarish! Not to mention walking around in a wheatfield at night and pointing your flashlight at a screaming goblin-beast, or having Astronauts quietly invade your home.
"I love the part where Wonka says "suck it and you can spit in 7 colors" b***h girl: spitting is a dirty habit Wonka: I can think of worse ones. Is it my imagination or is he talking about swallowing as the "worse one" She was picking her nose at the time, thats what Wonka was talking about.
someone really needs to paste pedobears head over that child catcher guy video
To juandorne: I believe the movie you're looking for is "Little Monsters" starring Howie Mandel and Fred Savage.
THAT GODDAMN AIR-CONDITIONER!! I've been wondering what movie that was from for the past few years. All I remembered was that I saw that scene when the movie was put on at day care when I was 4 or 5 and I spent the rest of the day in a stunned daze.
Sleeping Beauty was both cool and scary for me as a kid. It was shocking that Malificent invokes "the powers of hell" in a kids' cartoon, then became this badass dragon. They even showed blood when she died. Has any other Disney cartoon done that?
Man, I watched all of these when I was a kid, and I didn't get scared at all. I'm not saying that these scenes aren't f**kin' weird as s**t, but seriously, I get tired of hearing people go, "Oh my god, Pinocchio... Pleasure Island... Scariest scene of ALL TIME!"
what is that movie that was like an 80s film and it was about a boy and the boogie men or something and they had their own world, the door to get into it is either under the door or in the closet. and no it isn't monsters inc. please help me out. i've been trying to figure out what movie this is for forever.
Holy f**king s**t! I remember Mickey and the Beanstalk! I haven't even thought about that show in over a DECADE. I remembered every scene! The axe from the wall, the microscopic slices of bread, the invisible sandwich, the beans falling into the hole, slicing up the beans... Honestly, that really wasn't that scary. I really don't know what you're talking about. I don't remember been scared by it. I remember laughing.
Nostalgia Critic already did this. Get with the times, CRACKED.
Brave Little Toaster should be #1 because of 1. Air Conditioner Suicide 2. Vac*me meltdown 3. Lampy's attempted suicide 4. junk yard scene 5. Toaster's suicide
The 'Pink Elephants on Parade' scene in Dumbo is the best part of that movie... That is all....
No talk of chicken decapitation in the Wonka one? That s**t was REAL. Oh and on the Rifftrax to that movie, Mike makes the particularly hilarious comment of "Can you imagine being an airline pilot, getting on the loudspeaker after take-off and saying this exact thing word-for-word?"

This article just seems to be pointing out the obvious. Has anyone seen any of these movies and not realised that those bits were supposed to be scary? Except maybe Dumbo (I haven't seen that, but it looks like it could have been meant to be scary or not), they're all supposed to be scary in places. What's wrong with that?
Wonka was definitely messed up. But you didn't mention one of my most horrifying ones- Pooh Bear and the Heffalumps- that dream freaks me out to this day.
The Brave Little Toaster scared the living f**k out of me as a kid. Though the junkyard scene was awesome.
There is a story about Robert Helpmann (the guy who plays the childcatcher). His nephews had just watched Chitty Chitty Bang Bang; clearly, they recognized their uncle as the creepy candy-selling maniac from the film. Freaked out of their little minds, they asked their parents whether Uncle Robert was really a childcatcher. To convince the children that he wasn't actually the character that he plays in the film, the parents called Robert Helpmann up. When he picked up, he whispered "I have a little secret....... I really AM the childcatcher!". What an awesome guy.
I understand it's not a classic, but I'd like to mention Return to Oz. It's evidently a sequel or something to The Wizard of Oz. There isn't a solid 5-minute portion of the entire movie that doesn't feature something straight from a clown's nightmare.. I won't mention any specifics, but Dorothy is played by a young Fairuza Balk, if that signifies anything. And it should.
I'm comforted in knowing that I'm not the only one terrified by the tunnel scene in Willy Wonka or the acid-trip neon dancing elephants in Dumbo, but I feel that one of the movies that made it hard for me to sleep as a young child is, believe it or not, Disney's Fantasia. Combined with suspensful music and dramatic illustration, multiple scenes in this movie had me begging my mother to hit fast foward.
I think there would only be like 100 comments on this article if people stopped double-posting.
I'm totally with you about the boat ride in Willy Wonka. WTF is going on there?
Okey, maybe nothing can top Pedo-Hatter from CCBB.
i saw all these movies when i was a kid and none of them scared me. that one scene from fantasia did, though. with the demon on top of the mountain and all those ghosts flying around. that and the crypt keeper from Tales from the Crypt
It was the Oompa-Loompas that gave me the heebee-jeebees. A dozen deformed midgets in a line, dancing and chanting. So creepy . . . so creepy . . .
These were all pretty freaky to say the least. However the one that has always stayed with me throughout my life is Chernaborg from Fantasia. Just everything about that guy is scary, he is a complete sadist. He creates daemons out of the earth and toys with them until he gets bored and drops them to their deaths. He makes beautiful dancing fire women that he turns into evil blue cloven hoofed creatures... and then he crushes them. And the music, oh God the music. It just makes everything worse, screeching violins ridiculously over the top brass section, crashing cymbals and drums the works. It both enthralls and terrifies me.
The scene when Snow White's queen transforms into a hag was soooooooooo frightening to me especially with the loud thunder sound effects.
The Raggedy Ann & Andy Musical Adventure has a moment that can top all of these. It inspired both the Great Mightly Poo from Conkers' Bad Fur Day as well as The Smooze from My Little Pony the Movie.

Oh gosh, i remember that boat ride in Willy Wonka scared the crap out of me! It's alarming how they slip these horrifying scenes into kids movies.
http://makefunofmyfriends.com
You know, I have NEVER found a horror movie to be all that scary. In fact, for the most part, I've always found them to be rather boring and having to rely on cheap tricks to be any kind of scary (Mostly in that they faaaar overdo fake blood, graphical ripping off/eating of flesh and the whole "oh no a zombie popped out at random RIGHT IN YOUR FACE OMG RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! crap)... and I loved these movies as a kid (Well, the 3 of them I saw). Willy Wonka is one of my favorite movies ever. I thought the boat ride, and the whole movie really, was just hilarious. Same with the dancing elephants in Dumbo. And when Donald Duck had his freakout, I always just kinda shrugged it off and waited for them to get to the part with the beanstalk. I think I must have been born desensitized to insanity and terror.

In Beauty and the Beast when the Beast showed up and attacks Belle's father in the beginning it always scared the crap out of me. Even now it still gives me the creeps of course there are a lot of Disney movies that do that to me
The thing I loved about the Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, is that he manages to catch so many damned kids. The whole town! You've got to love it, because anyone carrying a lollipop and candy, regardless of how creepy they are, want to be your friend.
Ok, so I'm looking at this list, and all but one of these are movies that I watched as a child, and these scenes traumatized me for life! Snow white? Yeah, always fast forwarded past that part, little toaster? left the room. Wonka? Yeah, I totally refused to watch that movie again until many years later, and it still gives me the creeps. I would like to add three more nominees for the list; the boat stabbing the sea witch in the little mermaid, the person getting electrocuted in Anastasia (not sure who, never watched that movie again after that, still a bit traumatized), and the fire scene in the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Yeah, Disney terrorized my childhood.
Is it just me or was that insane toaster voiced by Phil Hartman?
Is it just me or was that insane toaster voiced by Phil Hartman?
Depending which version of Willy Wonka you watched, in some releases there was a scene on the boat ride of a chicken getting beheaded on a chopping block. It was pretty graphic.
Does anyone remember the cartoon version of Watership Down? I don't remember which part exactly, just that that movie used to scare me pretty badly and I would always end up in tears. Also there was a super creepy live action version of Alice in Wonderland that was always on HBO after school. From tweedledee and tweedledum to the Queen of Hearts that movie f*cking terrified me.
The brave little toaster was one of my favorite movies growing up but Jesus f**king Christ some of that movie is creepy even to this day.
god FUCKING GOD i still shiver when i see the forest scene from snow white when i was a little child i used to hide behind the door when that scene started, and mi older sister loved that movie, so i hid behind the door many, many times it even gave me a lot of nightmares
2 words - Watership Down
To Bacontastic: There were several things in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" that I found disturbing. Yes, Doom's transformation was as frightening as any scene in an adult horror movie. However, the sexual relationship between a cartoon Rabbit and beautiful, voluptuous human cartoon was pretty disturbing, especially when all the human characters around her would do her in a second. So, there you're dealing with bestiality with an even more perverted twist. Then you have classic cartoon characters like Tweety and Bugs Bunny going into their old shticks, seemingly unaware that they are pulling them on a real guy who could die of them. Yet, I like that movie.

My friends recommended me a very interesting place __AgelessFriends.com__ It's a nice and free place for Younger Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to interact with each other. Age gap is not a problem there. You may wanna check it out and tell your friends.
I'm glad you noticed "Pink elephants on parade." That has to have been the weirdest thing ever put on film up to that time. Where did they get the inspiration for it without acid? How is it that they dropped so loosely into children's movie? For a simple warning about drinking, it was so elaborate, and it contained some of the best animation by Disney. Yet, I wonder how it ever got passed the censors, as it had to have made a kid feel like he was lost on a corner in modern day Tijuana. It's as though they had a time machine, and brought back Ralph Bakshi to do it, and It fits in Dumbo the way a scene from "Eraserhead" would fit in the middle of "Steel Magnolias."

Goddamn. The first time I saw the Brave little toaster, I couldn't watch it again for four f**king years. I look back now, and can only just refrain from punching the s**t out of the tv screen when that motherf**king clown comes on. Bravo, Disney. You ruined my childhood and caused so many anger issues.
The Banshee in Darby O'Gill and the Little People. Shit, son.

What the f**k was this s**t? It was practically reversed. Snow White's forest was like a fluffy-furred box filled with cupcakes, but we didn't even address the fact that in the Willy Wonka scene there's a flash of a chicken getting it's head cut off. I didn't see anyone getting their heads cut off in Snow White.
OMG, I almost forgot how scary and just plain DARK An American Tail is. First the massacre of the Jews/Jewish mice in Russia (which really happened - to people anyway), then Fievel falls off the boat, and then of course all the terrifying stuff that happens in America. Streets paved with cheese indeed o_O The movie that freaked me out the most growing up was probably Fantasia. And not the "Night on Bald Mountain" Chernobog scene, either, I was cool with that since I was never really all that afraid of ghosts and such. No, what got me was the Rite of Spring. First we have meteors, volcanoes, earthquakes, and floods violently forming the earth. Then the little proto-plankton organisms evolve and of course one gets eaten right away. THEN we see pteranodons gracefully flying arou - CHOMP one gets eating RIGHT OUT OF THE FREAKING AIR. THEN a stegosaurus gets strangled/chomped to death by a t-rex (steggies were my favorite dino growing up and this part really got me bad). THEN all the dinosaurs march off to die of thirst in a barren post-Chicxulub wasteland. THEN a freaky-ass eclipse, more earthquakes, more floods, and fade out to see that apparently the whole world has been covered in water, no life in sight. All of this set to one of the most unnerving pieces of music ever written. THANK YOU, Disney. Thank you so much :-/

@AlfishKK and Zombie Hobbit: I think the narrator is Ludwig von Drake, seeing as the voice matches.
"we are treated to a forest that rivals the tree rape scene in The Evil Dead. " Oh come on. It's not even close. Was there a vine jamming itself up Snow Whites vagina so that later on she turns into a zombie-demon and attacks the Seven Dwarfs? Snow White would have been a much better movie if it did. "Tentacle-Vine Rape" brought to you by Disney, where dreams come true! AlfishKK, I think it's supposed to be a German or Austrian accent. But don't quote me on that.
I remember the the brave little toaster. That s**t WAS freaky.
Willy Wonka is scary enough with those creepy Umpa Lumpas....
Cracked writer Fitzgerald Smith, you have the tiniest set of balls I've ever seen. Not a single fraction of a second of any of these were even close to being remotely scary. The laundry list of phobias you must have is nothing short of embarrassing.
I actually remember that Dumbo scene and Pinocchio scenes both scared the s**t out of me as a kid.
its you vulpes. Its not Jack Nicholson its another wellknown person but i can't get to his name >
the difference between millipedes and centipedes is serious f**king business. Get your facts right or we come around to your house and kill you.
Pretty much anything Don Bluth has made has a credible traumatic scene back in the day and currently: All Dogs Go To Heaven in which Charlie goes to hell. Secret Of Nimh - Fucking everything An American Tail - Cossacks being murdered by soldiers and having cats sent in to kill the main characters (mice) right after Fievel's naive father sings about how there are no cats in America, meanwhile all hell breaks loose.
What, no mention of the "Worthless" number in the Brave Little Toaster part? That s**t was creepy.
it's Phil Hartman, R.I.P.
Is it me, or does the air conditioner in The Brave Little Toaster sound like Jack Nicholson?

That's a millipede, not a centipede. You can tell because centipedes and millipedes LOOK ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ALIKE. But don't let that stop you from making an ass out of yourself for submitting an online article without fact-checking for s**t. Dumbass.
You know what would make a great Disney movie? The littlest cult, it is about a team of blood orgy worship the devil mommys and teddy bears and beds, and trees, oh and anyone who isn't white. Who eat the mother f**king souls of children. Thats right kids mommy just wants to eat your soul.
Cool article. I don't remember much of the movies I watched as a kid, and I don't remember being really scared. But now that I think about it, those movies were f**king crazy. And I kinda miss those things. Kids today only want to know about Hannah Montana and the movies are all full of CGI and giant robots and s**t. I still prefer the good old animation. Also, the original Chocolate Factory is way better. Tim Burton have the power to turn everything he touches into s**t. First Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and now Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Fuck this. To JasonVorhees: yeah, Goodfellas is my favorite kid's movie. And I really felt sorry when the guy got shot.
Actually two of these were used in a Manson album, the song from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and the part in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang where the childcatcher goes around saying "lolly pops"
That tree scene actually gave me a fear of trees that I got over when I was 5. I was so scared of them that I couldn't touch them because I thought they'd kill me.
How about "The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T"? Designed by Dr.Seuss,the whole movie is like one long goddamned mushroom dream.
OMFG THE CHILDCATCHER!!!!!! He terrified me as a child and even seeing the picture almost made me jump out of my skin and... the video OMFG!!!!! I'm going to listen to my copy of Winnie the Pooh now, that's how in need of some harmless form of media I am.
What the heck is up with the narrator in the Jack and the Beanstalk clip?? Is that a faux Asian accent, and why does he even HAVE an accent? Oh and I loved this movie as a kid, so thanks for mentioning it.
You copied this list from Nostalgia Critic's "Top 11 Mindf**ks" and "Grisly Disney" from Gamesradar.Admit it cracked,you at least peaked at those entries.
Dud when I was a kid I used to watch horror flicks and gory s**t all the time, no problem. The only thing that scared me/freaked me out were those goddamned pink elephants...f**kin' Dumbo.
To the person that mentioned Little Nemo: Holy s**t, that movie scarred me as a child. The mountain . . . the creepy guy riding the train . . . for the longest time I wasn't even sure it was an actual movie. I figured it was the disjointed memories of some horrific childhood trauma that I hadn't managed to completely block out.

I havent seen "the brave little toaster" in years! I need to watch it soon. But Wonka's boat ride wasnt scary...just pure awesomeness. I loved all these things growing up. it never seemed scary or disturbing at all...although now when you put it in perspective it kinda is.
Luckily for me, the weekly rapings from my grandfather masked out all of the cartoons and balloons and birthday partys and first grade and memories of pets... I need to lie down
Disney raped everyone's childhood, by filling their head with not-so-subtle occult imagery and setting the standard for some good old fashioned white american wholesomeness. And then you grow up disillusioned and read about the rotten legacy of Walt Disney and his mega-corporation. Don't be surprised if your kid gets nabbed at a Disney theme park and sold into child slavery like Pinnochio and those other jack-asses. It happens all across the globe, but DisneyLand and DisneyWorld are two of the most well-hidden centers for mind-control and other creepy Elitist pedophile s**t that goes on once the doors are closed. But no one will believe it because if that were the case, they would never proudly display it in their cartoons, and that stuff "only happens in fiction". After all, it is the happiest place on Earth, why would they be involved in such a thing?
Wonka was the only one on the list that creeped me out, and it wasn't because of the Nick Berg chicken or Willy's badass poem.It was some...thing that flashes by around 3:50. It looked like Mrs. Lovecraft's vagina, but when paused I'm pretty sure it's a closeup of a tarantula's mandibles. Which is better than spooky p***y. I know two scenes that could easily top the list, and I watched them both on network TV before I was 10. It's all just your usual cartoon tomfoolery, then bam! teabag from the abyss! They are pretty obscure, but nothing is too obscure for the 'tube. Alice accidentally summons the Jabberwock http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7dxhbHAGRE&feature=PlayList&p=CECBBEDF0C1D281B&index=1 The Mysterious Stranger http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diVqham5cKA
I remember neverending story, where there's a dead knight and the kid lifts up his helmet only to find a dirty old skeleton inside Then later on the kids flying on that big scary white things back, and theres almost nothing left in existance, only darkness. That concept was really f**king scary.
You forgot the talking forest scene from Babes in Toyland 1961. Very scary!!!
As far as kid's movies are concerned, the scariest s**t I'v ever seen was the part from Goodfellas where Joe Pesci thought he was gonna be made, and then they shot him through the face. His mother couldn't even give him an open casket funeral. It was amongst the italians, it was some real greasball s**t. That scene stayed with me for years as I worked my way up through the ranks of the pretend mafia. Oh yeah, Disney is evil to the core, but saying it out loud gets me reprimanded from internet stalkers and Jason clones. Like that last article about 7 Terrifying Disney deaths. It took weeks to settle that f**kin' beef.
I'm also with gretagargoyle and fdman - Wizard of Oz is a strong runner up for this list. Those flying monkeys on that back drop still disturb me, I swear those mofos are chasing me ever since I threw out my vision goggle thingy from the 80s that had these discs of still photos from movies.
"What are you gonna do, suck me to death?"
The Bunyip Moon song from "Dot and The Whale." Anybody who knows it will know what I mean.
Little kids today don't have anything like this anymore. I watched all this stuff when I was little, it's a miracle I didn't grow up a deranged maniac. Oh wait!
I remember crying when I saw the scene with the clown in 'toaster' The scariest kid's movie is, however, Little Nemo.
Thanks, now I'm going to have nightmares. I still refuse to watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, that s**t was messed up. And Gene Wilder is a freak.
Does Watership Down count as a kids movie? That movie is amazing, but it scared the s**t out of me as a kid. So did The nightmare scene from PeeWee's big adventure.
I remember that scene from from Pinnochio. Bad dreams from that one. Another movie that freaked me out was The Dark Crystal. Still can't really watch that one without cringing. I write stuff similar to Cracke, though not as good. I can dream though, right? Check it out. http://allthingsmundane.wordpress.com/
I loved the pink elephants and the forest and Pleasure Island when I was growing up. I still find them wonderful. It's the scene with Dumbo's mom in the prison cart that I can't watch without blubbering...
Oh you forgot the scene from Alice in Wonderland when with the Carpenter and the Walrus where they are plotting to take the little oysters away from the mother and eat them. Which they manage to do leaving nothing but the tiny empty oyster shells everywhere like a messed up murder scene. And then again that whole movie was one f-ed up freak fest.
This needs like a part two, soooo many of the movies u mentioned below could have easily made the list, the roger rabbit, the toy story, the circus dude from were back,that first scene in the goofy movie always creeped me out. I remember one movie I don't know what it was but it had people turning into snails. 0.o
I remember that Donald Duck meltdown. I used to watch it constantly as a kid and wonder why the hell they didn't just kill Donald. Or sell him for parts.
i'm so excited that other people were scared of these scenes. the only ones i wasn't scared of growing up, were ones i hadn't seen. yayyy.
Holy balls, that freaking clown whispering "run" scared the s**t out of me! @ Bacontastic: the Who Framed Roger Rabbit scene was pretty creepy, but that wasn't actually supposed to be a kid's movie, so it wouldn't work for this list. Definitely in the top creepiest cartoons though.
"I've been thinking. You know what we need? I'll tell you. We need a scary tunnel. Right over there. Not a candy making tunnel, just a scary tunnel."
The Childcatcher was probably the single scariest moment of my childhood.
What about the scene in Brave Little Toaster where they're stuck in a junk yard and all the old, run-down are singing about death and all their regrets while being crushed to death under an enormous crusher? Or the scene after that where the master almost gets crushed to death himself while screaming in fear only for Toaster to sacrifice himself by jumping into the machine's gears?
I'm with gretagargoyle - how could you have not included the flying monkeys from The Wizard of Oz when they ripped apart the Scarecrow?
i would've thought bambi would've made it...disturbing as a child...
I'll admit those scenes from the Brave Little Toaster are kinda terrifying, but you've gotta admit. There's even worse moments in that thing. Seriously, that movie was made specifically to traumatize kids.
LMFAO!! #5 is the reason why my wife, to this day, refuses to watch Pinocchio with me! lol
Already mentioned that definitely belongs on this list: The Great Mouse Detective. I love mice--but can't stand rats. Not already mentioned that definitely belongs on this list: Disney's retelling of A Christmas Carol. When Scrooge is freakin' getting burried ALIVE.
the ringmaster form "we're back" (the dinosaur movie) was pretty f**king creepy. especially when at the end hes alone and turns into crows.
Oh, cool, I watch The Nostalgia Crittic too.
I see no Great Mouse Detective. Holy dick, I still have nightmares about that rat.
I always love your stuff, Nostalgia Critic! ...Oh. Forget I said anything.
@ bacontastic I TOTALLY agree...that scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit gave me nightmares more than any other "kids" movie. Demonic cartoon/humans who get flattened have no right to be in a kid's movie...if it even is one. My brother was scared of the sand tiger in Aladdin...heh.
I always love your stuff, Nostalgia Critic! ...Oh. Forget I said anything.
If we're going PeeWee's Big Adventure, I'd have to vote for the scene where the clowns are taking apart his bike... I swear to god I cried when that scene came on. Still do. As far as the ones on this list, the scariest by far is the Childcatcher scene. I never saw the movie, thank god, because that scene is seriously pretty messed up. What the hell were they thinking? Reminds me of Uncle Ernie from "The Who's: Tommy" combined with BrownTom from "Legend"... totally twisted.
one scene that really scared me was the one from Toy Story, when all the toys become alive and start creeping towards Sid to attack him. gotta admit, if i was Sid that woulda made me stop torturing toys
What...no f'ing Flying Monkeys from Oz? Few things scared me when I was a kid. But those little bastards. Damn!
i absolutely loved 5 of these films as a kid. now i know why i'm so f**ked up, where all my nightmares come from, and why i take so many f**king drugs!
Oh man, how I wish to forget Brave Little Toaster. When I was a kid, I tried to watch these movies with my sis but could never watch them completely. I wasn't scared, mainly because I didn't know what the hell was going on. Now that I'm older, I realize that these confusions were pretty much my lack of experience with acid trips gone horribly wrong. Also, PINK ELEPHANTS!!!!!!!! (god I love that)
I was scared s**tless by the half-cartoon version of Judge Doom in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?". Judge Doom ends up getting flattened by a steamroller, so we think he's a just regular human and is therefore dead....until he freaking peels his flattened body off the floor, starts screaming in a scary, high-pitched voice, INFLATES HIS DAMNED BODY and pops out his old eyes so that his terrifying red "cartoon" eyes (that can turn into daggers) are showing. He also then admits to comitting murder and some other stuff happens. I'm not entirely sure that movie was for kids, but putting cartoon characters in a movie kind of guarantees that at least SOME kids will watch it. Still, SCARY. Awesome article
Okay dude, this was freakin' hilarious. Every other sentence caused me to break out into a fit of girly giggles. 'Mother f**king psychopath' indeed. . .
Somewhere on the net, I saw the boatride played backwards. Now that was nightmare fuel. (And you didn't mentioned the chicken being killed!)
scariest kid's movie i can recall watching is something called "schindler's list". it was surprisingly complex and violent for the G rating it received.
Cute + Scary = Awesome I just GOTTA watch that old Willy Wonka movie and that Chitty Chitty Bang Bang thing... Seriously though, the scary part of Snow White isn't the forest, it's the part where THE DWARVES PLACE THE DEAD PRINCESS IN A SEE THROUGH COFFIN AND A PRINCE COMES BY AND KISSES HER CORPSE ON THE FREAKING LIPS Gross
I think that the scene in the cave during The Land Before Time is scarier that all of these combined times 5
Oh GOD that forrest scene. It scared the s**t out of me when I was a kid. But that's part of the reason why Snow-White is such an awesome movie in every way.
watch brooke hogan hot sexy photos http://zhoola.com/brooke_hogan_photo.html
How could you possibly overlook the flying monkeys from the Wizard of Oz?
watch brooke hogan hot sexy photos http://zhoola.com/brooke_hogan_photo.html
Has anyone seen the childcatcher in the broadway version of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang? It looks like nosferatu, but it sounds like Michale Jackson... and the play ends with Ms. Sweet blowing someone's head off with a shotgun. I saw it at 18 and had nightmares.
I still consider Spy Kids to be the single most horrifying movie of all time. Does that count as a classic yet? Because an awful lot of kids and critics seemed to love that giant blob of nightmare fuel. Robert Rodriguez can't make an intentionally scary scene to save his life, but when he tries to make something cartoony and fluffy, it turns into this unhinged tour of the mouth of madness. The movie's demented in the worst way while dressed in colorful frills, so watching feels a lot like being in the same room as a serial killer clown.
Would Peewee's Big Adventure count as a kids' movie? Cos the "Large Marge" truck scene scared the crap out of me.
The Brave Little Toaster really should be number one. The drawn out scene where cars sing their own funeral dirge on the way to an arbitrary and horrifically painful execution? Yeah, that's godawful, that's what it is.
When I was little, I watched the brave little toaster, and it scared the s**t out of me. Like, major breakdown. Then when I was 15 I thought "Oh, it couldn't have been that bad!" Then I watched it again, and it still scared the s**t out of me.
Where the Hell is "Return to Oz" on this list?
when i was younger Pinocchio, The Brave Little Toaster and Willy Wonka scared the s**t out of me. Hell they even do today. I still havn't managed to completely watch any of them
this article promises a little bit more than what it delivers. F''ck
Most of these movies were my favorites when I was growing up. Maybe this explains why I am so f**ked up
I don't remember my childhood
You folks should head on down to youtube and check out the Wonka scene bakwards. Salmon-c**t
I think the problem with this article is it's too mainstream. We ALL know about the Boat Ride in Willy Wonka and we're all familiar with the drug induced horror that is Pink Elephants On Parade. The best part about these articles is that they typically explore more obscure pieces of pop culture. Such as the 9 racist Disney characters article.
@mournblade: "As far as Snow White is concerned, I was always freaked out by the witch's death at the end--falls off the edge of a cliff, and is subsequently crushed by a very large boulder." You think that's bad? In the original Grimm fairytale of Snow White the witch doesn't die accidentally, Snow White and the Prince capture her, and put her in iron shoes full of hot coals, so she can dance herself to death as their wedding entertainment. Scaring the sh*t out of children is a long standing human pasttime.
The Willie Wonka scene was the scariest bar none!
You folks should head on down to youtube and check out the Wonka scene bakwards. Salmon-c**t
Im surprised you didn't include the part of brave little toaster where the vacuum goes apes**t and tries to kill himself.
Im surprised you didn't include the part of brave little toaster where the vacuum goes apes**t and tries to kill himself.
Did anyone find the Donald Duck tantrum disturbing at all? That was just filler. Hell, most of these felt like filler.
The scene from the BFG where they're eating the kids in their bedrooms scared the crap out of me when I was a little kid.
The deal with Pleasure Island was to make the kids act like jackasses...so they would turn in to jackasses. Get it? Yeah and thanks for reminding me how terrifying "The Brave Little Toaster" was.
Has anyone ever seen the movie version of "The Little Prince?" There are a couple of seriously creepy musical numbers happening there... This one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8mJsgPj1iU) in which Bob Fosse wiggles his arm around menacingly as a "snake in the grass," or this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZalwjqNHG2A) in which Gene Wilder is a "fox" (read: "creepy guy in a suit.") Between this movie and Willy Wonka, I am still scared of Gene Wilder.
I'm pretty sure that the Baron in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang openly despised children and tried to have them outlawed. Because that's apparently not a fantastic way to thoroughly eradicate your nation's future.
Okay, good, it wasn't just me then who was freaked out by the donkey thing in Pinocchio. I saw that as a kid and found it deeply disturbing. The pink elephants in Dumbo never sat well with me either, but in more of an is-this-really-what-goes-on-in-Walt's-head way, because it was kind of like peeking into someone else's bad fever dream / acid trip.
Thank you for just describing every nightmare I had as a child. Every moment on that list (of the exception of pink elephants on parade, which I always thought were funny) was something that I was terrified of! Most of all the childcatcher. I haven't seen this man in anything since, and his range might only include a manic child-killing candy bearing catcher, but if I ever saw him on the street, I would run the other way.
Okay... obviously it's been a while since the author's seen Willy Wonka. For one thing, Agustus didn't drown (not even in the original script), he just got sucked into the intake pipe, inside which, the pressure built up, should've sucked out his eyeballs (but sadly didn't) and he ended up being shot through the pipe like he was in a gigantic see-through pea shooter. Possibly on his way to be filtered and rendered and put into a jar of Wonka brand, chocolate milk drink. That aside. How in the hell did you forget the chicken f**king-decapitation scene in the boat ride?! The man with the millipede on his face didn't make me blink, but the chicken sure as hell caused a small freak out (fools that we were, we *had* to go back and watch it in slow-mo). See it here ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iupbNAGVaJc ) at minute 3:03.
Would you like some Ice cream? Or some chocolate? Maybe some rape-- uh I mean lollipops?
Is this a Cracked Archive article? I could swear I've read it before
Meh. There are worse ...Actually, that is pretty sad. There are scenes more disturbing and deprived than these, and they can almost exclusively be found in Disney Movies. Seriously, Disney, wtf? Stop taking acid and scaring the kids already!
I can't even watch Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory because that scene horrifies me so much. Am I a big pansy? Perhaps. But that s**t is f**ked up. The pink elephants scared the piss out of me when I was little, but now I find it funny. The Brave Little Toaster was definitely creepy, but I've always loved it. I guess I'm weird that way. Oh yea, I also had nightmares for several years of my life about sociopathic trees that were out to get me. I should sue Disney, lol
What the f**k, Disney
Poectera, you forgot about the best part of the Black Cauldron! The evil spirits are pouring out of the cauldron, and Gurgi proclaims that no one loves him and casts himself head first into the cauldron to stop the evil spirits coming out of it! So remember kids, if you're obnoxious and you're faced with a cauldron spewing pure evil that will only be sated by blood, remind everyone how mean they were to you and sacrifice yourself!
I saw all of these movies as a child and half of them I didn't even remember until just now reading this article. Especially The Brave Little Toaster, which I found that movie to be f**king horrifying. I think the Willy Wonka scene should have been #1. That scene is unforgettably f**king creepy.
The Brave Little Toaster movie scared the crap out of me as a kid. I didn't care about the Willy Wonka Cave Ride (didn't even bat an eye at it) but that overheating air conditioner was terrifying.
Umm...these aren't really scary at all.

@PixelGrimace: I remember he was terrified at the waterfall, and after all the appliances fell in, he launched himself into the river to save them. But it's been years since I've seen TBLT. Actually, you want to talk about terrifying scenes from childrens' movies (and TBLT), how 'bout the scene where Toaster launches himself into the gears of the crushing machine to save the master? Or the "Night on Bald Mountain" sequence from Fantasia?
none of the other ones are nearly as disturbing as the Willie Wonka one, you watch an actual f**king chicken get it's head cut off in a kids movie, for god sakes
Didn't the vacuum cleaner in the brave little toaster also try to committ suicide?
phil hartman was doing a bad impersonation of jack nicholson in the brave lil toaster......much like how christian slater acts in any movie he is in.
How about the movie "The Black Cauldron"? It is beloved because it is the timeless story of a young boy (I think) called upon to perform great deeds, assisted by lovable friends such as "Gurgi" - whatever that cute little thing was. But, I vividly recall having to leave the theater with my Mother as a small child during the intense climax of this film, when *SPOILERS* evil spirits begin to fly out of a roiling cauldron (as best I can recall), summoned by this ghoulish-looking chap. Maybe upon re-watching it, I would not find it all quite as horrifying. But then again, fat chance I'll ever get over the residual trauma of that first viewing enough to actually rent it.
I watched Chitty Chitty Bang Bang once and specifically avoided it forevermore because of that freaking Childcatcher. I mean, can you imagine what he's capable of violating with that nose?
Willy Wonka was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid, but the fabulous boat ride was always my favorite scene. Pink Elephants On Parade was my favorite part in Dumbo, too. I guess I was just a f**ked up kid
Holy crap. I saw every single one of those movies when I was a kid. Multiple times. How did they get passed off as kids flicks? I think this is why people hate Hollywood. Too many traumatic experiences watching Disney movies growing up.

the show being put in the Dip in Who Framed Roger Rabbit is BY FAR the scariest thing in a kids movie.
I'm surprised I haven't see a mention of All Dogs Go To Heaven. That whole movie is messed up.
Those aren't that bad. I present to you, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer....the part where he meets Satan and has to kill a village of innocent people. Not even kidding. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q29CmMHSQ3M
What about "Song of the South," the part where Br'er Rabbit bites his own head off? Freaked me out. Wait, did anybody else see that?
If you ever see an animated film called Wizards, that has some freaky s**t in it too. It's rated MA though, for 15+ or so, not a happy little elves G rating. It has naked pixies!!!
scariest kids' movie of all time: the 5,000 fingers of dr. t gave me nightmares for f**king YEARS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgpfMxYFSmE fantastic planet was pretty f**king scary too
Oh man. And I thought I was the only one who was terrified of that Brave Little Toaster movie. I liked it, but sweet holy Jebas that Air Conditioner scene scared the f**k out of me.
Willy Wonka was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid, but the fabulous boat ride was always my favorite scene. Pink Elephants On Parade was my favorite part in Dumbo, too. I guess I was just a f**ked up kid
Yea, no mention of An American Tail? Those cats were straight from hell!
Oh and don't forget the cartoon UNICO, where a creepy blue faced guy named DeGhost makes a little girl drunk and then changes into a kickass demon.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but children's TV/movies need more terrifying s**t! Let the kids learn that sometimes the world IS out to get them, and most times nobody is going to give a damn about your wants and wishes and will instead take a dump in your heart. Much better lessons than the self-importance and vanity-fest brought to them by Facebook and the like. If you have children, scare the f**k out of them every once in awhile. The results will be terrific.
They forgot to name "The Return to OZ" in this article. Which part?..... ANY DAMN PART of that movie would've made it in this article. Crazy Momby princess changing heads, a bearded man wearing ruby slippers, crazy green haired guys with wheels in ther hands and feet.... YOU NAME IT.... this whole movie was a serious acid trip gone bad.
Also speaking of Phil Hartman he co-wrote Pee-Wee's Big Adventure with Paul Reubens.
Speaking of Pee Wee's Big Adventure... Large Marge??? Come on! What about the clown emergency room doctors! Fucking creepy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7kw0WiUB5c
Wow, Aprilizer is right, Phil Hartman is credited as the A/C. Weird. I could have sworn that was Ray Liotta. Was Hartman doing a Liotta impression or what? P.S.: Okay, looked up the other movie title. Watch "Ernest Scared Stupid" and tell me that wasn't child-traumatizing material.

Oh yeah, that and the one Ernest movie where trolls are abducting kids. I have a feeling very few people have seen it, or else it would be #1 on this list, no joke.
Large Marge is extra creepy because of the whole set up, starting with Pee-Wee alone on the dark highway, getting picked up by the truck that comes out of no where the story, the face reveal then he gets dropped off in that creepy bar where he find out she is a ghost. I always thought of it as a kids movie. I saw it in theaters in 1985 when I was 7 years old because my cousin wasn't my guardian and we couldn't get into Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.
OMFG PHIL HARTMAN IS HAUNTING US AS AN AIR CONDITIONER.
WTF ? Don't you retards have any proof readers? The text is about the 'child catcher' but the pictures are of UK First Secretary of State Peter Mandelson.
Odd that no one has mentioned "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" yet. Judge Doom's reveal and death at the end are pretty freaky. But for me, the most frightening thing I remember as a child would be a monster from The Neverending Story. I don't even remember a single second of the film nor recognize anything when I see stills from the movie now, perhaps because I've repressed the whole thing. But there was some dark beast that was moving from shadow to shadow at one point that absolutely and completely scared the crap out of me for a long time. Didn't get much sleep for a while.
The Brave Little Toaster is filled to the goddamn brim with nightmare fuel. I can take Snow White's forest and I can take Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, but the air conditioner scene still terrifies me. The Secret of NIMH and All Dogs Go To Heaven--namely the scene where the main character goes to Hell--were also really horrifying if I remember correctly (or is it just Don Bluth's films in general? Something in a COMMERCIAL for An American Tail sared me so much as a kid that I could never bring myself to watch it).
I'm 29, and I STILL can't watch ANYTHING referring to Return to Oz. There was a flippin COOKIE JAR that looked like the pumpkin heads face...and I wouldn't go up that aisle in Target. Was it the Last Unicorn that had a creepy Gollum looking guy, too? It's an old man, or a guy going crazy or some s**t. I swear it's there...but I'm sure as hell not going back to refresh my memory.
Meredith, I know what you're talking about! I love Pee Wees big adventure, though, but Large Marge always scarred the crap outta me. I also owned The Last Unicorn, and i was terrified about the bull that would push them to drown in their own watery grave!!!! GASP!
Oh God, the f**king Brave Little Toaster movie. I blame all my problems on how insane some of those scenes were. You forgot to mention the scene where the so-called hero of the movie leaves a lonely daffodil to just sit there and weep, and that horrible car junk yard scene where they're all being crushed into little cubes. While singing for some reason, no less. Oh and also the used appliance mechanic that literally guts the electronics. Hideous.
Pinocchio's "horrifying" moment is nothing and shouldn't be on this list. Hell, Lion King's Mufasa trampling scene would be more terrifying.
I don't know why it keeps reposting my stuff. I didn't do it!!!
And why oh WHY did I feel the need to "check" and see if Large Marge was still as scary....she is. http://avatarfarm.com/avatarimages/movies/largemargepeewee.gif commence bed wetting.
Funny thing is, the only part of the Wonka ride that I remembered was the part you didn't mention....cutting off the chicken heads. Nice.

I agree with the Rats of Nimh mentions, but what about every scene in Return to Oz (the wheelers, Mombi?), or the Hugga Bunch Movie (http://www.crowncombo.com/articles/2006/017_hbmovie/huggabunch.html). Also, some scenes in the Dark Crystal were pretty damn terrifying (like the soul getting sucked out of the Podlings by the already scary-as-hell Skeksis).
OMG! The Pink Elephants!! I've been saying that forever, I had some freaky-ass nightmares when I was younger from that. Damn, that s**t still creeps me out.

Large Marge scarred me for life. I have since seen some REALLY f**ked up stuff, and that still sticks in my head and sometimes wakes me up at night. I think it's because I wasn't expecting it. But I have one title for you: THE LAST UNICORN. I swear, to this day I can't watch it. That and the Hobbitt cartoon caused me endless nights of bed wetting.
Yea man! Mrs. Frisbee and the Rats of Nimh! That movie was badass. I dunno what it was trying to teach children, apparently the National Institute of Medical Health can make super intelligent rats and when they breed with other rats they too are intelligent. Oh and the first thing they do when they escape is set up some pseudo medieval age society with a wise mystic that scared the s**t out of me when I was a kid. Nikadeemus? Really?
Secret of Nihm, Watership Down, Pee Wee’s (Large Marge)...all awesome mentions. NThanks for opening up old wounds ppl. Anyone remember a little Disney film called The Black Cauldron? They try and downplay it/conveniently forget things like reanimated corpses rising up per the cauldron, scaring the absolute s**t out of every kid in the theatre. I remember vividly them saying how they used wet macarroni squishes to make accurate sound FX of the zombies moving about. I thought Fantasia had a few snags in it for kids too.
Is it bad that like every single one of these mentioned used to be my fave scenes as a kid?
Thank you, Cracked, for verifying that Pink Elephants were indeed a frighting portion from Dumbo, and not some horrible part of my psyche constantly trying to break me.

The free Disney vacaction planning DVD at the top just completes it don't you think? By the way, thanks for the clown. I think that was a legitimate repressed memory for me.

Old Disney films are all creepy as hell. That is why all kids everywhere should watch them. Then they'll be able to face anything the world throws at them because nothing - NOTHING - could be more terrifying than the visions that haunt them at night.
Donald Duck always gets a pass by me. Had to be the most hilarious moment of that entire movie.
Wow no way dude thats the craziest thign I ever seen! Russ www.true-privacy.net.tc
One more thing: Regarding Large Marge, _Pee Wee's Big Adventure_ is not a children's movie. But for the record, that scene has always been my daughters' favorite--they're ten and seven years old now, but they have ALWAYS said to me, "C'mon, Dad! We wanna see Large Marge again!" Yes, sir. It was the worst accident I ever seen.
funny, ive seen almost all these movies on mushrooms before and snow white is absolutely the worst. VERY VERY close second with willy wonka tho, i actually had to turn it off during the tunnel scene.
"What are you gonna do suck me to death?" that air conditioner made a bad oral sex joke in a kid's movie. THAT IS FREAKING AWESOME!
For those who said Watership Down should be on the list--well, it's not really a children's story, is it? Sure, the film adaptation is a cartoon, but so are "Heavy Metal" and "Friz the Cat." As far as Snow White is concerned, I was always freaked out by the witch's death at the end--falls off the edge of a cliff, and is subsequently crushed by a very large boulder. @skittle_muffins: You mean the late, great Phil Hartman? He did Linal Hutz as well as Troy McClure on the Simpsons.
Snow White ran away from the city..................She was aloof and all willy nilly...............The Dwarfs filled with spunk.............They got her all drunk..............Then raped her pretty ass silly.
People decry Disney for being "for children", but four of these movies are Disney Animated Features, and The Brave Little Toaster was distributed by them.
did anyone else notice that the 'air conditioner unit' from the 'brave little toaster' was voiced by the same guy who does 'linal hutz' the lawyer on the simpsons? what about watership down, that was freakin terrifying??!
@Figfewdisgewd: I was going to say the same thing. The chicken getting its head cut off was the worst part of that whole thing. I haven't seen Mickey and the Beanstalk for a long time, but now I remember why. Sweet Jesus. That is the most realistic depiction of starvation-induced insanity I have ever seen. What the f**k, man? And f**k you for not putting The Brave Little Toaster as number one--that ENTIRE MOVIE is nightmare fuel. The air-conditioner's suicide, the Toaster's evil clown dream, Lampy getting electrocuted by lightning, the group almost drowning (twice--one time in a waterfall and another in a pool of quicksand), the graphic dismemberment of a blender, and the appliances' Master almost getting smashed into a cube by a giant trash compactor (Toaster saves him by jumping into the gears and almost killing himself). Yeah, I'd f**king have to say that's number one. Like, hands down.
The Brave Little Toaster is still the scariest movie I've ever seen. Those weren't the only scary parts. The one where Toaster has to crush himself to save the cars on the conveyor belt, and when they almost don't make the gap over the waterfall. The whole movie was a horror film.
I don't know if Pee Wee's Big Adventure counts as a children's class or not, but there are at least two scenes in that movie that trump most of these. As someone already mentioned, there's the "Large Marge" scene. And then there's the dream sequence where Pee Wee is rushed to Satan's ER by some evil clown surgeons. Sweet Baby Christchild. I know people are freaked out by different things, but come on. Also, my vote for #1 would be Willy Wonka's boat ride. Johnny Depp, with all of his skills, could never acheive that level of mind-raping nightmare.
I don't remember much about The Secret of Nimh, but I remember being scared during a couple of scenes. I was 3 when I saw E.T. in the theater. His screeching on-screen reveal was pretty traumatizing for me, as were a few other aspects. Don't even get me started on The Dark Crystal.
Does anybody remember Watership Down, the fight near the end with the insane rabid evil rabbit going all berserker on us? I must have s**t myself 19 times watching that.
"HELLO? People? Wizard of Oz? Flying Monkey Stormtroopers of Death? They ripped the Strawman open and tore his hay-guts out?" You think that's scary? Go watch the second Wizard of Oz movie Return to Oz.. theres like these evil things with wheeled stilt legs... not to mention many other horrifying things that happen in that movie... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WM0RFE3QGAU
When I was a kid, I pissed myself whenever Willy Wonka or Wizard of Oz came on. But if Freddy Krueger came on, he may as well have been Barney...
@ KelVarnsen: Holy f**k, I forgot about Large Marge. Or, to be accurate, I had blocked it out until this moment, when you mentioned it and all the horror came rushing back and melted my brain. Screw you, Disney. If booze will help me forget about Large Marge again, I will gladly spend a few years in the salt mines.
I was terrified of the Pike in The Sword In The Stone as a child - makes fishing for them now a little bit more exciting =D

Cracked.com --> Ruining your childhood since 1958.
Fuck, i was hoping you wouldn't use anything with clowns.
I don't know...I think the King of Fools scene from The Hunchback of Notre Dame should be included. The part where they tie Quasi to the wheel and start jeering and pelting crap at him used to terrify me as a child. Sure, not on the same plane as the deranged scenes included in the list, but that is some pretty inhumane, heavy stuff to be in a kid's movie. I suppose at least it was mostly tomatoes that were being thrown but tomato juice = blood to a kid. By the way, anything in The Brave Little Toaster was way more scarring than the forest scene in Snow White.
Speaking of Disney, has anyone seen Peter and the Wolf? Where that nightmare-inducing beast kills and eats all those cute animals? Saw it 40 years ago, and I still remember that goddam wolf. Fuck you, Uncle Walt, f**k you.
I am surprised to see that Large Marge from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure didn't make the list. That scared the crap out of me as a kid.

I've only read the first part so far so I didn't read the other comments(to avoid spoilers) but I was a little upset you didn't remember to say something about the part in the tunnel when it showed a chicken getting its head cut off. That was the scariest part for me when I was a kid because I didn't understand the rest.

Oh God, I remember watching that f**king boat ride scene. And whilst that toaster dream was terrifying, Oh God, Oh God, that Mickey Mouse clip. That's giving me nightmares, thank you.
They added the pink elephants to dumbo because the film wasnt long enough and they had to make up 5 mintues. Thats why its so random.
When I was a kid my favorite movie was Poltergeist, so it's fair to say I had a pretty decent tolerance for horror. That being said, Ichabod Crane gave me nightmares, and still kinda creeps me out.
...WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT BOAT RIDE HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE REST OF THE MOVIE.
KelVarnsen beat me to the punch...but seriously...LARGE Marge. I literally couldn't watch that part until I was well into my teens. shutter.
/You forgot the part of the Willy Wonka boat ride with the chicken getting its head chopped off! D:
Man, I used to love mickey and the beanstalk when I was a kid! ...Actually, that explains quite a lot.
How about the bit in that Willie Wonka movie where the chicke has its head cut off...? Man, that used to really freak me when I was a kid...
Perhaps not individually, but taken as an entire film, The Brave Little Toaster is one of the most frightening of productions. Not just of kid's films, but of all films. There are the cars singing about being murdered, the organ-stealing appliance repair shop man, the fatally depressed flower, and don't forget the part where the blanket trips balls at the thought of snuggling close to his "master". Or where the vacuum has an epileptic fit and starts to eat himself.
Check out the Willy Wonka scene backwards: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udd8svocU8o&feature=related
The boat ride scene freaked me out when I was a kid, and parts of it still bother me to this day. And people claim that the Tim Burton version isn't family friendly... Sure is a hell of a lot moreso (and closer to the book) than the Gene Wilder version.
What no Watership Down? I'm sure you gave somebody a new hentai idea with your Snow White description.
This list doesn't include Return to Oz, therefore it fails. That movie is pretty much an endless montage of nightmare inducing imagery -- from the Victorian asylum Dorothy is in to her electroshock treatment to the Wheelers to the mirrored hallway of moaning, disembodied heads. You're really left wondering if it was produced by a deranged serial killer or something.
Agree about return to Oz...that was in a class by itself. I've often wondered about that Wonka scene....it was not necessary to help.show that Wonka is a nut. that is obvious.
Only reaffirms what i already know, Looney Tunes are crazy but Disney cartoon are batsh*t crazy.

I'd say that the most horrifying aspect of the boat ride from Willy Wonka is the possiblility that Grandpa might throw up his Geritol in the chocolate. Is there an OSHA reg for that? * * * Wheelz, and his world of pure inebriation.
