The E. T. Movie made me cry as a kid, not due to E. T. 's Death, but his first appearance. This was because I was a very sensitive kid. Anyway, Does anyone remember being Traumatized by The Anglerfish Chase from Finding Nemo (2003? I wasn't traumatized, yet I wanted to bring up one of my personal favorite Chasing Scenes in any movie ever. It has a quiet melody for 48 seconds, then the music immediately gets dark and malevolent when The Anglerfish Reveals Itself. In The Real World, an Anglerfish is a very grotesque sea creature that looks nothing like the one in Finding Nemo. A Real World Anglerfish has beady eyes, a large mouth, and flexible stomach. Their Mating Habits are more surreal than any other. They are the epitome of clingy. The Male uses a scent organ to find a female and bites the Female in their belly, causing the Male to release an enzyme. That dissolves the skin under the bite and fuses the male's mouth to the female's body. This causes the male and female to literally unite. The male gets his food from the female for the rest of his life, and in return, The Female has a ready supply of sperm for whenever she's ready to mate. Pretty Surreal, am I right?

The dip from the movie called: Who framed Roger Rabbit: Acts like acid too kill off some of the toons in the movie that are made by different companies: Disney, and Warner Brothers? (or) is it just one company and not both companies working side by side together? I really think this movie was actually mostly the work of Warner Bros. Because they really put most of the work into the movie. I also think Disney put the Buggy Yellow car into the movie as well to surprise young viewers who were actually watching the movie. Yep definitely mostly Warner Bros. Work though.

This is pretty spot on.
The zombies from Scooby Doo zombie island gave me some nightmares as a kid too.
And this one isnt really a kids movie but I remember watching probably a little too earlier in my childhood due to my older cousins which was Pans Labyrinth and the creature with the eyes on his hands scared the shit out of me

If I had to add the moments that scared me as a child, we got:
Rooster chasing Annie up the drawbridge to kill her in Annie
Alice being chased by the Queen of Hearts card soldiers in the Disney cartoon version
Ursula becoming a giant in The Little Mermaid
Snow Whites funeral (I cant get over Grumpy crying)

The jabberwocky in the live action Lewis Carroll Alice in Wonderland and Through the looking glass gave me nightmares for months. I watched it again as an adult to relive my childhood trauma and was astonished at how it really was just a puppet. LOL

I never wanted to admit it, but the Child Catcher TERRIFIED me!
Also sad fact about Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the actors and actress for the Potts Children and Mr. Potts are the only living members of the main cast. Sally Anne Howes died in 2021.

Fantasia I believe was made for an adult audience. Scenes like Night on Bald Mountain and the T Rex killing the Stegosaurus would scare the living daylights out of most children, especially the younger children.

I honestly feel like Night on Bald Mountain is the worst, because of its symbolism. However.
When you showed me a clip from Brave Little Toaster i literally almost turned the video off. The part in the dump--

Coraline scared me so bad I didn't watch it for 14 years after that. I seen it since then. Also the wicked witch went to Sesame Street but it scared the kids so bad that the ep has never aired again.

Oh I am SO glad to see 1985 Alice in Wonderland get some love, its an amazing rendition. And the actress that plays Alice has the perfect mesh between the oddity of Alice and a sweetness.

You know, it's only one scene, and its more just scary than dark, but - Manny's nightmare in Ice age 3. I swear to god, even now I have goosambs just when I am thinking about.

While I agree on the Pinocchio donkey scene, I think the one from the Jonathan Taylor Thomas love action one should have been at least an honorable mention

At around age three, my little brother was inoculated against the horror of the Night on Bald Mountain monster. He always referred to it as the Big Bat.

I started Kindergarten days or weeks after I watched Matilda in the theater, and I thought they would actually put me in a chockey if I misbehaved.

My sister was terrified of the donkey scene. I honestly wasn't scared of it. Actually, I wasn't scared of a lot of the things that most kids were.

For The Brave Little Toaster, I never understood why he would be afraid of the clown. I can see that other stuff being his fears, but never that.
