ITT Traumatizing kid's movies.

[Lastpatriot]

When I was like 3 or 4, the first TMNT movie was my favorite movie, but I would start crying and whining during that scene where Raphael gets jumped on the roof.

So let's hear what movies scared you that you didn't expect to be so scarring.

[Mockery]

Benji: The Hunted :(

[Guitar Woman]

The Brave Little Toaster. That movie is probably why I am so afraid of fits and/or seizures, but it did a lot of other damage too!

[Guitar Woman]

Also, I remember a few scenes from Secret of NIMH scaring the crap out of me.

[Girl Drink Drunk]

Benji: The Hunted :(
I remember that part where one of the cougar cubs he leads, gets carried carried away by an eagle, and when that wolf jumps off the cliff :(

[MetalMilitia]

Pretty much any so-called children's film pales in comparison to the Dark Crystal. I really hope that whoever thought this -> was appropriate for children was fired... or promoted, depending on how you look at it.

[Emu]

GW, were you and I the same person as a child? I hope not :\

[Rongi]

that stupid fucking movie with the cowboy mouse, for whatever reason, traumatized me as a boy.

[Fathom Zero]

There was a part in Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland with darkness seeping from behind a vault door and terrifying music was playing and it really did scare me deeply.

[Guitar Woman]

That movie with John Goodman as a T-Rex

[Fathom Zero]

I was thinking of that movie after Little Nemo.

Oh god. 4 minutes into the video.

1:48 into this one. I can't watch any more.

[zeldasbiggestfan]

When Mustafa died I was so scared my dad would die. :(

I love mah daddy, and I ain't ashamed.

But he is :tear

[Jeff The Ninja]

E.T.


I still have montly night terrors of being abducted by that Strechy Necked fucker.


Also, I dont know if it counts, but my parents bought me a copy of the Toxic Avenger because i liked the Toxic Crusaders cartoon. :)

[Girl Drink Drunk]

I freaked out when E.T. scared that little girl, and they both started screaming.

[MLE]

I agree wholeheartedly with metalmilitia. I love the dark crystal now, but the puppets were way too gruesome with the skeksis.

[Dr. V]

The Brave Little Toaster. That movie is probably why I am so afraid of fits and/or seizures, but it did a lot of other damage too!
What about the clown in the toaster's nightmare?

[Guitar Woman]

I don't remember that part, probably because at that point I was bawling uncontrolably and wetting myself.

[Sethomas]

Guys, no. NO. NO NO NO. This thread is incomplete, this thread does not exist, without a reference to "The Adventures of Mark Twain". I saw only a few minutes of it on a static-laden channel when I was probably 8 or so on what was generally touted as being a fundamentalist Christian channel. Hence, I had no fucking clue what was going on when I saw this segment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ak3z2Pm7Iwg

I seriously think that many of my issues can be traced back to the ten or so minutes of it (which by miraculous happenstance included the above clip) I watched on tv before the signal faded. Until I found this randomly on YouTube, I thought that it was an experience that my mind later invented, which apparently happened at least once in my childhood. (For example, I had very clear memories of my family owning an arcade skill crane for no clear reason, and they put it in my bedroom. This never really happened.)

[Guitar Woman]

I mean, jesus christ, why would you expose little kids to something like that ;<

[MLE]

holy fucking shit. I'm glad i never saw that as a child or else i'd have been plagued with nightmares for months.

[Emu]

I thought that was Einstein.

[AChimp]

That was pretty awesome claymation.

[Dr. V]

What the fuck!? I'm going to have nightmares for months.

[Sam]

The only scene in a movie that i can remember as traumatizing was from Logan's Run and I don't think that is a kids movie. :(

You gotta admit, that personification of satan is pretty agreeable. Not so much a laughing devil breathing fire, but a careless, non compassionate, non understanding being who values nothing. OK GUYS TAKE IT TO THE PHILOSOPHY FORUM!

[Chojin]

Man, Seth's movie is fucked up.

Schimid showed me this once, he said it scared him as a kid:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3zS9udiISE

[Chojin]

These aren't kid's movies, but I still get chills down my spine when I see an old mac crash because of this shit:

The first time I saw this I was 2 or 3 :<

I like those.

[Spetsnaz]

You guys remember Labyrinth?

I'd see David Bowie's codpiece staring at me from my closet...STARING....ALWAYS STARING!!!

[macrodeath]

When i was a kid, i was traumatized by Fly (1986), Terminator 2's T1000, Robocop 2's Kane monster, and Ernest scared stupid. I watched old horror movies (Frankenstein, Brain that wouldn't die etc...) with my dad and sneaked into my school-pal's place to watch Bad Taste when i was six years old. Back then those movies really freaked me out, but were somehow better than any other films. And the movie Sirius 6B was fucking terrifying, because of the beginning of the film. This soldier gets he's arm and leg chopped of by a robot. :lol But now, i have them all on DVD and they're still better than most movies i've seen.
I have mention two more things that REALLY freaked me out: Birth giving nightmare of the Fly and Highlander's head chopping moment. :rock
No, these aren't any kids movies, but movies i watched when i was a kid.

[Fathom Zero]

This scared the ever-living shit out of me as a child.

[darkvare]

i don't really remeber the name but it was a movie about some toys that died in the end cause the kids saw them moving or something

[Kilgore Cod]

When Littlefoot's mom died.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

All dogs go to heaven....the entire movie was traumatizing.

[executioneer]

how about watership down
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gYpLGxAetg

or even worse PLAGUE DOGS >:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ostgqhDjIo&feature=PlayList&p=7BF80A478D74B411&playnext=1&index=69

bloody rabbit corpses, and a dog accidentally causing a hunter to SHOOT HIMSELF IN THE FACE, and a different dog being drowned and resuscitated >:

[Fathom Zero]

oh god, Jesus Christ, you're right.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tp5mcc47xD8&feature=related

[executioneer]

plague dogs traumatized me NOW, i can't imagine how bad it would've been if i'd seen it when i was 8 or something

edit: and all right i guess they're not really INTENDED for kids but christ still

[Sam]

jesus :(

[ZeldaQueen]

That movie Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin scared me a bit when I saw that. Also, the trailer for that Anastasia movie freaked me out. Oh, and lastly: The animated tape we had of The Night Kitchen, in which a kid is abducted magically and nearly baked in a cake (three chefs mistake him for milk somehow).

My brother was always, as a child, afraid of this one bit in one of our old Winnie the Pooh VHSs. It was a scene in which Tigger saw Pooh with a bit of eggshell and thought that Pooh had knocked down a piece of the sky. To prove his point, Tigger told the story of Humpty Dumpty. As he told the story, Mr. Dumpty was portrayed as an egg-shaped Tigger. For whatever reason, that really freaked my brother out.

[Tadao]

OMG Willie, that was horrible!

:O

[Supafly345]

Neverending Story. When artax died in that sad swamp. I always had leave the room.

[Krythor]

The Land Before Time. The T-Rex scenes, the mother dying, the mother reappearing as a ghost, the erupting volcano. Basically all of it.

[ZeldaQueen]

The part in the movie Pinocchio, where the kids all get turned into donkeys. Urgh.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mypa-rmn5GE

Especially when the donkeys can still talk and cry "I want to go home!"

[hoopymo]

I have mention two more things that REALLY freaked me out: Birth giving nightmare of the Fly and Highlander's head chopping moment. :rock
No, these aren't any kids movies, but movies i watched when i was a kid.

The weird deleted scene with the cat baboon hybrid still weirds me out.

[kahljorn]

Neverending Story.

The wolf at the end of that gave me nightmares :(

[ZeldaQueen]

These two aren't exactly cartoons, but they freaked my brother and I out as children:

The first was that BBC production of "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" (the ones where the animals were people in giant suits, etc). At the part where the kids find the note saying about Mr. Tumnus being arrested, they have the wolf general voice over reading it. At the end of the note, he says "Long live the Queen!" and then gives a "snarl" like "Rawr!" (picture a human imitating a wolf). Really seemed scary for some reason.

The second was actually a computer game for Playskool of all things. It had this "mix and match" game, where there where people of different occupations (doctor, teacher, etc), and you could mix and match the heads, middles, and legs. If you didn't do anything, the body parts would move on their own. One of the characters was a mad scientist who, if left on his own, would give this "evil scientist laugh". That scared me so much I ran from the computer into another room and my dad had to come find me and figure out what was up.

[Schimid]

@ Seth: I do that too. I've been doing it recently though, having vivid recollections of missing half of an entire semester of classes (or at least one course). I think I'm going crazy, let's just hope not as bad as you!

Chojin already posted my most scarring childhood scene. I've seen Little Nemo and Dark Crystal and pretty much everything mentioned in the thread (except for that Maurice Sendrak thing where they cook the kid, fuck that's spooky) but nothing stands up to George Pal's Puppetoons.

He had a string of stop-motion hits, and my family got them for me on VHS when I was really, really young. There was one cartoon involving a maestro who is almost cannibalized that I would reluctantly watch, but would cry silently the entire time. My nightmares had color for the first and only time in my life, my own marionette hell. The only cartoon I liked on the tape was about a tuba. His name was tubby. Nothing shitty happened in that one, but Tubby sure was a spooky fellow:

Look up George Pal's animation stuff. I can't find any of it on Youtube (other than the still frightening John Henry clip), but most of it is extremely unnerving. He had a racist stint too, animating a young boy named Jasper:

http://www.awn.com/heaven_and_hell/PAL/GP3.htm

http://www.awn.com/heaven_and_hell/PAL/IMAGES/GPJW1.JPG

The final one was called Hoola Boola and involved a tropical island and a dickhead named Jim Dandy.

http://www.awn.com/heaven_and_hell/PAL/IMAGES/GPHB1.JPG

Here's a video of it. Note the animation of the mouth as they speak, that really got to me. (http://www.awn.com/heaven_and_hell/PAL/MOV/GPLB3.mov)

EDIT - Going a bit off the path, Chojin and I also played through Braindead 13 together. I'd wanted it as a kid, but I think it's safe to say that I would've been scarred for life had I seen some of these deaths:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cA4NREzWipI&feature=related

ANOTHER EDIT - Sorry to monopolize the thread, but I found the rest of the Puppetoons. Guess someone uploaded them while I wasn't looking.

Here's Tubby the Goddamn Tuba, the least scarring of all his abominations. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVdHrF9QrQU&feature=related)

And The Little Broadcast, the one with the cannibals. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGu5oHp3R88&feature=related)

There are some scenes missing from both, but those are the meat and potatoes of the things.

[Kitsa]

The Electric Grandmother, really fucked me up as a kid.

I just remember the grandmother coming to replace someone dead, and then I remember a scene where she gets hit by a car.

Also, she sang this song that they'd fade in and out after she was "dead"...gave me nightmares.
