People Are Sharing The Most Disturbing Disney Movie Scenes, And I Bet You'll Agree They Should Come With A Warning

Whether you're a boomer, Gen X'er, millennial, Gen Z'er, or Gen Alpha, you more than likely have fond memories of growing up watching Disney animated and live-action movies.

Of course, we also have so not-so-fond memories of scenes from those films that scared the crap out of us (looking at you, Judge Doom reveal scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit ). Recently, redditor marcus_shitface was curious about those scenes when they asked : "What is the most disturbing Disney movie scene?"

The thread got over 1.4K responses. Below are the best, top, and most-often repeated scenes that creeped people out:

1. "In Tarzan , when the ape finds Tarzan, you see the crumpled corpses of his parents lying in the corner under some debris."

2. "When Clayton inadvertently hangs himself in Tarzan ."

3. "Classic Disney movies? That one scene in Bambi, where the birds are trying to quietly hide in the bushes from the hunter stalking them. One of them begins to panic as he gets closer while her friends beg her not to try to fly. Eventually, she tries to flee, only to be shot down dead and land right in front of said friends."

4. "The 'Hellfire' scene from The Hunchback of Notre Dame ."

5. "Quasimodo being roped, attacked, and humiliated in The Hunchback of Notre Dame. That was too much for a kid's movie. Just thinking about it after all of this time makes me feel sad, and I haven't watched it in ages."

6. "Towards the end of The Great Mouse Detective , when they’re running up Big Ben, Professor Ratigan is growing increasingly more rat-like, running on all fours, fur bursting out of his tuxedo, etc. That and all the jumpscares from his bat henchman. Nightmare fuel."

7. " Mulan . Specifically, the part where the guys are all singing about what kind of girl they are fighting for, and then all of a sudden, it just cuts to the village that was burnt to the ground. You find out that not only did the Huns wipe out the whole army, but they also slaughtered every man, woman, and child in the village. There are no more musical bits after this scene in the movie."

8. "It's a classic one: the scene where the Evil Queen transforms into the Old Hag in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs TRAUMATIZED me."

9. "For me, it's the beginning of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs , when Snow White runs into the woods and is terrified by the branches grabbing her clothes, thinking they were hands, and all the eyes around her watching her. I still get anxiety dreams resembling it sometimes, and I'm in my 30s now."

10. "The little shoe going into the Dip in Who Framed Roger Rabbit ."

11. "The Cauldron-Born from The Black Cauldron . The original version was so gruesome that they edited it down and reanimated segments, and it was still pure nightmare fuel. Also, not to mention, the Horned King being ripped to shreds, down to his bones, as he's sucked into the Cauldron at the end."

12. " Fox and the Hound . When the old lady leaves Tod in the woods. Triggers my abandonment issues. I still can't watch.

13. "In Fun and Fancy Free , when Donald turns into a lunatic and grabs the axe off the wall."

14. "The Toaster's nightmare with the fireman clown was the part in The Brave Little Toaster that terrified me. When I was little, I would leave the room for that part."

15. "In The Brave Little Toaster , when the air conditioner malfunctioned/blew up, his eyes and the fire. It scared me for years."

16. "In Pinocchio , the donkey scene. It's been decades since I have seen it, and the streak is not coming to an end anytime soon."

17. "In The Princess and the Frog , when Dr. Facilier gets dragged to hell by the spirits."

18. "I'm nearly 40, and I still have PTSD from the fucking Walrus luring and eating the baby oysters in Alice in Wonderland . Fuck that."

19. "The scene in The Incredibles (2004) where Mr. Incredible logs into Syndrome’s computer and discovers that basically all the world’s superheroes have been systematically murdered by one man by luring them out to a secluded island and making them fight the Omnidroid. This is foreshadowed in an earlier scene, where Mr. Incredible and Frozone have a conversation about never seeing their old friends anymore. These people were their friends, who have now been wiped out one by one. Syndrome may be one of the most evil villains in the Disney universe."

20. "The T-Rex mauling the Stegosaurus in Fantasia . Added bonus: If this wasn't enough kids, then get to see all the dinosaurs starve to death."

21. "When Maximillian killed Anthony Perkins' character by drilling through the book he was holding. Or when you learn what really happened to the crew of the U.S.S. Cygnus . The Black Hole is an effed-up trip that I shouldn't have watched at age 7."

22. "I remember being creeped out by the scene in Hercules where he's diving into the River Styx to save Meg and ages rapidly while the souls swirl around him."

23. "Dumbo getting drunk and hallucinating those weird multicolored eyeless elephants."

24. "The ending of The Lion King, when the hyenas eat Scar alive. In his final appearance, they managed to make Ed, otherwise a comic-relief character, downright nightmarish."

25. "I really hate the scene where the Wicked Stepsisters tear at Cinderella’s dress. It is mild in comparison to a lot of these, but it is also scarily realistic."

26. "In Return to Oz , that scene of the hallway of served heads always creeped me out as a kid."

27. And lastly, " Toy Story 3 , when they’re all stuck in the incinerator, spiraling towards the fire, and all they can do is surrender to it and say their goodbyes…sheesh!"
