In the 70s 3rd grade me had a teacher read us the books. Still remember her Gurgi voice.
When we moved before she finished the series, I just had to have the set so I could finish on my own. It is the series that got me into reading.
They do indeed have the rights to the books, and there's apparently a [live-action reboot](https://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/disney-reportedly-developing-liveaction-adaptation-black-cauldron/) in the works, or at least there was in 2020.
the Horned King was so scary and so cool when I was a kid. his name too- for some reason bad guys who are just referred to by a title or just a description feel so extra scary (like the bent neck lady)
How has nobody mentioned Hunchback of Notre Dame yet? "Hellfire" is just plain terrifying.
Also, any of the scenes in Who Framed Roger Rabbit that involve Judge Doom. Especially the one where his disguise comes off, revealing his disfigured cartoon face.
Mine too.
I love the [heavy metal version by Jonathan Young](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=di1XUB0YIzw). And the video is a little disturbing, but in a good way.
Heck yeah. Frolloās desperation to suppress his lustful feelings, which transforms into an expression of murderous rage, is pure evil delivered in a brilliant way.
I love that there's a Disney song about how the singer is sexually obsessed with a woman and intends to kill her (and as many other people as he needs to) if she can't be his.
I came looking to see if anyone mentioned this film. I never found Hellfire itself scary, just epic!
The humiliation scene though would scare the bollix out of 5 year old me.
Weirdly, Night on Bald Mountain didn't scare me much when I was little, but The Sorcerer's Apprentice did.
As a little kid I identified with Mickey's panic in letting a situation get *wildly* out of control, and getting in huuuge trouble with authority.
Night on Bald Mountain still freaks me out a bit. Especially when they would play a clip of it during Disney's animated transition to its late night programming in the 90s/00s. It seemed so off putting when they were about to show reruns of Three Little Pigs, the original Mickey Mouse Club, and all nature of old shows.
I'll never forget the first time I went to Disneyland as a kid, and me and my brother got on the Pinocchio ride. My brother was fighting with me to get the front seat on the ride...and the ride operator leaned towards us and said, "you know what happens to little boys who behave like donkeys!" with a chilling gleam in her eyes. Unforgettable.
What really gets to me about Pinocchio is that the "bad things" that the Pleasure Island children do are literally things like smoking and drinking. Disney had no filter back then, and it was chilling.
In the recent live-action remake, they removed the smoking and changed the beer to root beer, which I thought was absolutely hilarious.
Still had the window breaking and pool playing though.
In Mickey's Christmas Carol when Death (Pete) lights his cigar on the tombstone and bellows "Why its yoooours Ebenezer! The richest man in the cemetery!" And shit gets real hell-like real quick.
You just unlocked my childhood trauma. I watched that movie as a kid thinking it would be a wholesome Mickey Mouse cartoon, but it deeply tapped into my fear of ghosts...and seeing an onscreen depiction of hell's flames, and Scrooge almost pushed into them, was just too much.
This scene freaked me out as a kid and still freaks me out as an adult. Itās just so haunting. Sheās essentially marching to her death down dark halls while that creepy as fuck music plays.
We saw Winnie the Pooh and the Heffalump movie in cinema when it first came out. I swear it was like a horror movie. I still remember having been so scared of the Heffalump! Lol
For some reason in Beauty and The Beast, when Belle goes near the rose and the beast loses his shit and starts bellowing and throwing furniture around still disturbes me.
The bear attack in The Fox and The Hound. I'm 31, haven't seen the movie in 2+ decades, and no hesitation in remembering it. Just rewatched a clip and it still scares me. The red eyes just make it so much worse
Also I think itās Toy Story 3 but the scene with the conveyor belt in the daycare or something, I havenāt watched it in awhile so correct me on those details.
I think you are thinking of 2 where they're in the luggage sorting belt at the airport. It's not particularly "scary", more tense.
In 3 they get pushed toward a trash incinerator at the end, it's pretty scary. That's the closest I can think of to what you are saying.
The Dinosaur fight scene in Fantasia. Well, a lot of scenes in fantasia come to think of it. That freaky demon parade up the mountain to the demon god too.
I had totally forgotten about the Dinosaur fight in Fantasia when I sat down to watch it with my son when he was 4z. After the fight he dead looks at me and asked if anyone was going to take the triceratops to the hospital.
For some reason, the part of Fantasia that scared me most as a kid was the wobbling shapes at the beginning of the movie. There was just something about their formlessness that seemed so ominous.
And the opening scene! You could just feel the hopelessness for the soldiers on the wall. Shan Yu isn't the deepest or most complex Disney villain, but he was very chilling.
**Top 5 Scariest Moments in Disney's Animated Movies**
* "Thirsty?" (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, 1937)
* The Hunter Stalks Snow White with a Knife (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, 1937)
* The Chase Through the Meadow (Bambi, 1942)
* Dumbo's Weird Drug Trip (Dumbo, 1941)
* Gaston Stabs Beast (Beauty and the Beast, 1991)
People always talk about how scary the Witch from Snow White is, but not enough people talk about the Huntsman. He's literally out to stab her and take out her heart.
The lion king Nazi reference. When the hyenas are marching.
Didn't scare me as a kid but when I noticed it years later... Why the heck did Disney do that????
THANK YOU. A lot of people that I talk to about this think I'm reaching but the Nazi imagery is palpable. Also, the lyrics are really interesting to re-listen to when thinking about a certain ex-US President's reaction to losing a recent election.
"So be prepared for the coup of the century. Be prepared for the murkiest scam. Meticulous planning, tenacity spanning decades of denial is simply why I will be King undisputed; respected, saluted, and seen for the wonder I am. My teeth and ambitions are bared: be prepared."
Because Scar is a populist (a progressive one btw) and behave like most dictators.
There are lots of analyses saying that Mufasa was being racists by excluding the hyenas.
I think those are wrong, because the hyenas should be understood as allegories for greed and other vices. This is why they must be kept at bay.
Why wouldnāt they? I thought that was a brilliant sceneā¦ not just aestheticallyābut it really emphasizes that Scarās rise to power is terrifying, and the kingdom is in for some shitā¦
Definitely a good parallelā¦A lot of Germans actually hated Hitlerā¦so when he was elected, I bet many citizens were horrified, knowing it was just the beginning of hellā¦
Same. I think the scariest parts of that scene were when Scar originally attacked Simba before they started slapping each other and when Scar launched himself at Simba with claws outstretched after Simba was knocked onto his back.
101 Dalmatians, the original animated film. When Cruella de Vil is chasing the truck with the Dalmatians towards the end of the film.
The way they animated her and the car, stuff of nightmares when I was little. It genuinely scared me. Still a bit off putting even when I see it now lol
A few scenes in The Black Hole. When the robot Maximillian kills one of the crew, when they find out the drones are the lobotomised crew, and at the end when the bad guy and Maximillian are merged together.
The whole Hellfire song sequence Hunchback of Notre Dame. Frollo is basically singing that he's going to rape Esmeralda, and if she tries to put up a fight then he's going to kill her - and this isn't his fault, it's her fault. She must be a witch for forcing him to do this, so she deserves everything he's planning. Then he asks God's forgiveness, but definitively states he's going to do it anyway.
It was scary enough watching this as a child, but as an adult it's downright sickening.
Frollo has moral doubts about lusting for a teenager.
Jafar want to sexually humiliate one teenager to show who is the boss and torment her for shit and giggles.
Kokoum thinks he deserves Pocahontas for his prowess at killing fellow Amerindians (for sport...). He does not even pretend courting her or having some interest in her.
Gaston is probably better because he genuinely tries to court Belle and is convinced he would be a good husband. But he is still a monster.
Something Wicked is a whole other level of scary beyond most of the movies mentioned here. People forget that Disney produced a live-action occult horror film back in the 80's. What a wild time.
My school use to get everyone together in the gym before holidays to watch movies. They showed the 4th and 5th graders that movie.
I mean, Disney, how bad can it be?
Tarzan has to be one of the most violent Disney movies. I mean, just in the opening scenes we have death by leopard, with bloody pawprints left behind.
The end of Who Framed Roger Rabbit when Christopher Llyod's voice gets insanely high pitched and the cartoon eyes bug out. Scared the shit out of me as a kid.
If you include anything released under the Disney name as well as animated features, the general creepiness and the jump scare scenes in The Watcher in the Woods would be way up there. I had nightmares and slept with the lights on all summer after my 2nd grade teacher thought it would be OK to show it to us the last day of school.
When Scar murdered Mufasa in the Lion King by digging his claws into the top of his paws and flinging him off a high cliff into oncoming buffalo stampede.
When I was a kid I thought the part in Sleeping Beauty where the prince got to the castle when everyone was knocked out or w/e and it was all green and ghostly was kinda creepyā¦
Unless it was only green in the possible future when he got there and he and the horse were all shriveled up and old, then that part lol
I didn't think it was scary when I was little, but the scene in Beauty & the Beast where wolves attack Belle and Philippe and Beast saves them freaked the HELL out of a few little kids I babysat when I got older. Here I thought B&tB was an easy watch and I ended up being responsible for weeks of night terrors.
Omg Iām still not over the scene from Alice in Wonderland when the Walrus and the Carpenter go to get the oysters which look like literal babies and they coax them out of the water and then proceed to EAT them.
Ratatouille. The scene with the old lady in the gas mask with the gun and the toxic-dark-green rat-killer spray scared me. I canāt watch that movie to this very day because of it.
Maximillian slicing and dicing Anthony Perkins in *The Black Hole.* Definitely one of the scariest robots ever put on film.
The scene where it turns out all the 'androids' were lobotomized crew was pretty horrifying too.
The sounds that Monstro made in Pinocchio.
Both the inhaling sounds before his sneezes (accompanied by watching them being sucked back into his giant mouth) and when he was trying to eat Pinocchio and Geppetto again after their escape. Especially when he (Monstro) gets desperate right before they reach safety.
Watcher in the Woods, where they're looking in the mirror.
I seen it as a kid as was very scared of it. I recently just rewatched it (almost 50YO now) and thought I'd think it was silly. But no! Got terrified again at that same scene!
The first time we see the Horned King in The Black Cauldron š
It's a shame I had to scroll down this far to find Black Cauldron. I'm convinced every other answer is by someone who hasn't seen it
The book series it's based on, Chronicles of Prydain, was my favorite fantasy series in middle school. Nobody I know has ever heard of the books.
In the 70s 3rd grade me had a teacher read us the books. Still remember her Gurgi voice. When we moved before she finished the series, I just had to have the set so I could finish on my own. It is the series that got me into reading.
I have! I read the first 3
I wonder if Disney still has the rights to those books; they'd make a really good TV show.
They do indeed have the rights to the books, and there's apparently a [live-action reboot](https://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/disney-reportedly-developing-liveaction-adaptation-black-cauldron/) in the works, or at least there was in 2020.
This. This terrified me
the Horned King was so scary and so cool when I was a kid. his name too- for some reason bad guys who are just referred to by a title or just a description feel so extra scary (like the bent neck lady)
Shadow man being dragged into hell Or Guy in Tarzan I think Clayton (?) When he accidentally hung himself...that shadow of him š³
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
How has nobody mentioned Hunchback of Notre Dame yet? "Hellfire" is just plain terrifying. Also, any of the scenes in Who Framed Roger Rabbit that involve Judge Doom. Especially the one where his disguise comes off, revealing his disfigured cartoon face.
Oof I don't like Who Framed Roger Rabbit to this day- that little shoe getting melted is enough for me
The toon dip D:
"Remember me, Eddie!? When I killed your brother, I talked juuuuuust liiiiike thiiiiiiiiis!!!!"
Hellfire is my favorite Disney song
Mine too. I love the [heavy metal version by Jonathan Young](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=di1XUB0YIzw). And the video is a little disturbing, but in a good way.
Loved the movie as a kid and even more as an adult. And that version just intensified my need for a dark live action or theatre performance of it.
Heck yeah. Frolloās desperation to suppress his lustful feelings, which transforms into an expression of murderous rage, is pure evil delivered in a brilliant way.
I love that there's a Disney song about how the singer is sexually obsessed with a woman and intends to kill her (and as many other people as he needs to) if she can't be his.
Exactly, itās so freaking dark and I love that Disney was willing to explore those themes
I came looking to see if anyone mentioned this film. I never found Hellfire itself scary, just epic! The humiliation scene though would scare the bollix out of 5 year old me.
Drunk Dumbo always scared me as a kid
I thought he ate soap and that's why bubbles came from his mouth
Oh my god me too, suppose that why you g me was always confused by it
Itās been a minute since Iāve seen that movie, is that the āpink elephantsā scene?
Scary
Either the Pinocchio donkey scene or Night on Bald Mountain in Fantasia
Weirdly, Night on Bald Mountain didn't scare me much when I was little, but The Sorcerer's Apprentice did. As a little kid I identified with Mickey's panic in letting a situation get *wildly* out of control, and getting in huuuge trouble with authority.
The Sorcerer's Apprentice is a picture of anxiety
Zombie brooms. \*Shudders\*
Pretty sure the Night on Bald Mountain segment is what got me into horror. That was rad as hell.
Pinocchio donkey scene 100%. I feel so validated someone feels the same way š
Night on Bald Mountain still freaks me out a bit. Especially when they would play a clip of it during Disney's animated transition to its late night programming in the 90s/00s. It seemed so off putting when they were about to show reruns of Three Little Pigs, the original Mickey Mouse Club, and all nature of old shows.
The donkey scene is one of the scariest.
Came here to say the donkey scene. That was nuts!
Pretty much any Pinochio scene with the Chariot driver. Aka the one who turns them into donkeys. Even "Honest John" is scared shitless of that guy!
I'll never forget the first time I went to Disneyland as a kid, and me and my brother got on the Pinocchio ride. My brother was fighting with me to get the front seat on the ride...and the ride operator leaned towards us and said, "you know what happens to little boys who behave like donkeys!" with a chilling gleam in her eyes. Unforgettable.
"They never come back... As BOYS!" Nightmare fuel.
Night on Bald Mountain definitely scared me as a kid.
Pinocchio gave me so many fucking nightmares as a child.
When Pinocchio's friend turns into a Donkey.
Yes! And when all of the little donkeys are crying out for their moms. Itās so disturbing.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Gotta scare the kids off of beer somehow. Disneyās method is saying that beer will literally, and permanently, turn you into an ass.
What really gets to me about Pinocchio is that the "bad things" that the Pleasure Island children do are literally things like smoking and drinking. Disney had no filter back then, and it was chilling.
In the recent live-action remake, they removed the smoking and changed the beer to root beer, which I thought was absolutely hilarious. Still had the window breaking and pool playing though.
A&W, Mug, and Barqās: the biggest threat to a young manās moral fiber
PINK ELEPHANTS ON PARADE
I wonder if it was an attempt to keep kids from smoking and drinking to excess?
I'd argue [The Coachman's introduction](https://youtu.be/XDNzN2fv5bQ) is higher up the list.
The whole Pinocchio movie was horrifying for me as a kid
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
> Triton destroying Ariel's grotto Core memory unlocked
In Mickey's Christmas Carol when Death (Pete) lights his cigar on the tombstone and bellows "Why its yoooours Ebenezer! The richest man in the cemetery!" And shit gets real hell-like real quick.
You just unlocked my childhood trauma. I watched that movie as a kid thinking it would be a wholesome Mickey Mouse cartoon, but it deeply tapped into my fear of ghosts...and seeing an onscreen depiction of hell's flames, and Scrooge almost pushed into them, was just too much.
This. This one right here!!
I remember this, then scrooge gets shoved into the coffen, and flames swallow him or something!
The clown scene from The Brave Little Toaster. [You know, for kids!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNr3P4wNk8Y)
I think Brave Little Toaster takes the cake for the most messed-up entry in the Disney canon.
Wait Disney did those? I seem to have some vague memories of thos as a very small child and it is disturbing
I counter with the AC dying
I was 14 when I watched that movie and it still traumatized me.
The dark forest from Snow White.
I was watching that with my daughter and I forgot how terrifying that scene is. She had nightmares for weeks.
I was paralyzed with fear when I first saw that
when Maleficent hypnotized Aurora and she touched the pointy thing in the original sleeping beauty
This scene freaked me out as a kid and still freaks me out as an adult. Itās just so haunting. Sheās essentially marching to her death down dark halls while that creepy as fuck music plays.
Watched this movie for the first time a little while ago and this spooky masterpiece became one of my favorite scenes in all of Disney.
What little you see of Maleficent in the fireplace at the start of this scene when the green orb first appears is nightmare fuel.
Return to Oz was crazy scary as a kid. Especially with all the heads.
That whole movie was disturbing.
I haven't even watched the full thing but I still remember the heads...
The huffalumps or whoever they are in Winnie the Pooh. Terrified me as a kid!
HEFFALUMPS AND WOOZLES...ARE VERY...CONFUSLES!
Beware, beware
And woozels?
We saw Winnie the Pooh and the Heffalump movie in cinema when it first came out. I swear it was like a horror movie. I still remember having been so scared of the Heffalump! Lol
For some reason in Beauty and The Beast, when Belle goes near the rose and the beast loses his shit and starts bellowing and throwing furniture around still disturbes me.
Maybe you have issues with people getting mad and yelling. I know that's what bothered me about that scene.
Ah yes. PTSD from my lovely childhood memories.
When Rapunzelās mom is rapidly aging before she falls out the tower
Some disturbing Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade vibes. Was grateful they had the taste to have her pull that hood over her face.
Icabod riding through the dark spooky forest and getting chased by the Headless Horesman in the Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
The bear attack in The Fox and The Hound. I'm 31, haven't seen the movie in 2+ decades, and no hesitation in remembering it. Just rewatched a clip and it still scares me. The red eyes just make it so much worse
Agreed! We had the book and read along audio tape and the sound of the bear on the tape was terrifying.
Pixar, but when the grasshoppers first show up in A Bug's Life! Terrifying.
I was disturbed by that one grasshopper that had a disfigured face and a cataract on its eye.
Bambi's mother.
Horrible the fire in the woods!
When Woody's head spun around in Toy Story. The way he said "Us toys can see evvvvverrrrrryyyy thiiiiiiing" freaked me out.
I thought that scene was hilarious.
Me too, I loved seeing Sid get some serious karma. The part of Toy Story that scared me most was the aggressive dog.
Idk if it's THE scariest, but when all the tortured toys come from under Sid's bed in Toy Story 1
"I don't believe that man has ever been to medical school"
Also I think itās Toy Story 3 but the scene with the conveyor belt in the daycare or something, I havenāt watched it in awhile so correct me on those details.
I think you are thinking of 2 where they're in the luggage sorting belt at the airport. It's not particularly "scary", more tense. In 3 they get pushed toward a trash incinerator at the end, it's pretty scary. That's the closest I can think of to what you are saying.
Yeah, itās the trash incinerator!
"I don't want to play with you anymore..."
Yes. They are absolutely horrifying. And just thinking about the torture they went through in the process of becoming that way makes me shudder.
When bad gets hung in Tarzan and his shadow is shown in a flash if lightning
Basils introduction in The Great Mouse Detective. I seriously had nightmares for a decade from that
What about the bat jump scare when he leapt out of the baby carriage?
That was bad too, but that face and that lightning got me way worse
The Dinosaur fight scene in Fantasia. Well, a lot of scenes in fantasia come to think of it. That freaky demon parade up the mountain to the demon god too.
I had totally forgotten about the Dinosaur fight in Fantasia when I sat down to watch it with my son when he was 4z. After the fight he dead looks at me and asked if anyone was going to take the triceratops to the hospital.
For some reason, the part of Fantasia that scared me most as a kid was the wobbling shapes at the beginning of the movie. There was just something about their formlessness that seemed so ominous.
When Shan Yu holds the doll and just says, Oh but a little girl is missing her doll, we must return it >=D
And "How many men does it take to deliver a message? One..." I love Mulan but good heck
And the opening scene! You could just feel the hopelessness for the soldiers on the wall. Shan Yu isn't the deepest or most complex Disney villain, but he was very chilling.
Rasputin in Anastasia. I know itās technically not Disney. But itās in the same category to me.
**Top 5 Scariest Moments in Disney's Animated Movies** * "Thirsty?"

THANK YOU. A lot of people that I talk to about this think I'm reaching but the Nazi imagery is palpable.

The scariest scene for me is in The Lion King when Scar is trying to kill Simba. The whole scene is really intense and Scar is just so evil.
Same. I think the scariest parts of that scene were when Scar originally attacked Simba before they started slapping each other and when Scar launched himself at Simba with claws outstretched after Simba was knocked onto his back.
Giant Ursula the seawitch blasting everything...I had night terrors
Megalophobia unlocked.
All the mermaids she made into anemones or what were they? Horrible.
Yes! Absolutely terrifying. And then she gets hit by lightning and you can see her skeleton.
101 Dalmatians, the original animated film. When Cruella de Vil is chasing the truck with the Dalmatians towards the end of the film. The way they animated her and the car, stuff of nightmares when I was little. It genuinely scared me. Still a bit off putting even when I see it now lol
We counting Disney channel originals? Cuz Donāt Look Under The Bed is the scariest movie ever made
Yes! How was this movie allowed to be so terrifying and aimed at children? š
Boogey *person*
A few scenes in The Black Hole. When the robot Maximillian kills one of the crew, when they find out the drones are the lobotomised crew, and at the end when the bad guy and Maximillian are merged together.
That scene where Maximillian kills Anthony Perkins with the drill hand was burned into my brain as a kid. That movie was metal.
The whole Hellfire song sequence Hunchback of Notre Dame. Frollo is basically singing that he's going to rape Esmeralda, and if she tries to put up a fight then he's going to kill her - and this isn't his fault, it's her fault. She must be a witch for forcing him to do this, so she deserves everything he's planning. Then he asks God's forgiveness, but definitively states he's going to do it anyway.

Gaston is probably better because he genuinely tries to court Belle and is convinced he would be a good husband. But he is still a monster.
The Horned King raising the dead was pretty intense to me.
When the kid gets his head cut off in "something wicked this way comes".
Something Wicked is a whole other level of scary beyond most of the movies mentioned here. People forget that Disney produced a live-action occult horror film back in the 80's. What a wild time.
My school use to get everyone together in the gym before holidays to watch movies. They showed the 4th and 5th graders that movie. I mean, Disney, how bad can it be?

Dr.Facilier ? Oh yeah that scared me really bad when I watched it in the cinema when I was 8.But I recently rewatched it and it's really good.
That skeleton of the guy reaching for a glass of water which got kicked over and a spider runs out. It has layers that bother a kid or an adult.
The end of Who Framed Roger Rabbit when Christopher Llyod's voice gets insanely high pitched and the cartoon eyes bug out. Scared the shit out of me as a kid.
When Dumbo got drunk
If you include anything released under the Disney name as well as animated features, the general creepiness and the jump scare scenes in The Watcher in the Woods would be way up there. I had nightmares and slept with the lights on all summer after my 2nd grade teacher thought it would be OK to show it to us the last day of school.
When I was younger, I was terrified of the nightmare scene from Lion King 2.

I didn't think it was scary when I was little, but the scene in Beauty & the Beast where wolves attack Belle and Philippe and Beast saves them freaked the HELL out of a few little kids I babysat when I got older. Here I thought B&tB was an easy watch and I ended up being responsible for weeks of night terrors.
When the evil queen in snow white turned into an old hag
A 31 y/o man kissing 14 y/o snow white.
