bit random but i watching some movies with my little cousins and they wanted to watch something they had never seen before so i put on the lion king 2. it was one of my favorite movies as a kid ( i used to watch it with my nan all the time lol)
but then it got to one part in particular..... and it really got to me the same as it did when i was a kid
i wouldn't necessarily cry at the scene as a kid but it really bothered me for some reason. it also seems pretty relevant to Randall as well.
so i was just wondering what are some movies/cartoons , scenes in particular, that bothered everyone as kids.
i find it pretty interesting as alot of people are always under the impression that kids are ''too dumb'' or dont understand overly emotional scenes or dont get the undertones of some parts in movies when they clearly do ( my little cousins especially the girl found the above scene pretty upsetting and said she wanted to cuddle kovu lol )

That scene in LK2 did get to me too--- but, because I had lots of faith in Disney, I knew a happy ending was in the works, but it still shook me...
I could only watch Hunchback of Notre Dame once as a child... I remember distinctly crying and hiding behind my cousins lounge during some scenes... I need to watch it again, as I'll be visiting Notre Dame in a few weeks!
I'm also- slightly traumatized by a scene in The Secret Garden- something about a child being abandoned- at... a train station?- I can't quite remember it- but, even now, it stands clearly in my mind! I'm trying to find it on YouTube, but I'm failing horribly! <3

I don't think that this particular movie made me upset so much as it scared the hell out of me, but that would be The Wizard of Oz. I must have been about five years old when it came on tv for the first time, and we had just gotten our first color tv, probably the first color tv in the entire country. I can remember when my parents found out that the movie was going to air on tv from "The TV Guide", a weekly digest of what was going to be on the networks(there was no cable or satellite in those days, just three networks and Public TV), how excited they were, and they really thought that watching this movie would be a wonderful rite of passage for me, so they literally MADE me watch it. For the most part, at the age of five, I just didn't "get it". It bugged me that the "lion" was obviously a man in a costume and not a REAL lion, but those flying monkeys scared me half to death! Those and the Wicked Witch of the West; we had this big old red barn on the property and for months after being forced to sit and watch that movie, I'd have nightmares about those flying monkeys perched on top of that barn, waiting to swoop down and grab me. But the part that disturbed me most of all was when Dorothy splashed water on the Witch, and she started smoking and melting and screaming. Even thought she's scared me, I really found that demise extremely disturbing and I can remember crying and begging my parents to let me go to my room so I wouldn't have to watch anymore.

I was never a Wizard of Oz fan. Like you as a child I didn't get it (Graddad says it his favourate movie ever). One film that did upset a terrify me as a kid, although I still think it's brilliant, is Watership Down (I like the book even better though).

I was obsessed with Wizard of Oz when I was a kid, even more than Monsters! I think I didn't see MI as much because THAT was the movie that freaked me out the most, all because of the part where Fungus was white from the scream extractor. That REALLY shook me up.

I was already an adult with many years in the workforce, including personal experiences not unlike what Randall went through, by the time that MI came out, so I saw it in a very, very different light from how a child would have seen it. It's like The Wizard of Oz; my parents had seen it in their teens when it was shown on a Saturday morning matinee at the little local hometown theater. I first saw it when I was five, so it wasn't a "magical", special experience for me. It was downright terrifying! Still, even as a five-year-old, I found it disturbing that the Witch was killed, how she melted. That scene has always bothered me. pitbulllady

When I watched Snow White (the disney version of course) one of the scenes that always disturbed me for some reason was when that evil queen (can't remember her name) turns into an old woman, seeing her body deteriorating and her face changing made me cry when I first saw the movie. I was like three years old, and when that scene appeared, I always closed my eyes and hide my face of the TV x'D One that really shocked me (as a teen, since I'm 15) is Syndrome...dying in the incredibles. I mean, he gets chopped by a helicopter and then it....EXPLODES!!! I guess this is why Edna put the "no capes" rule
