People Are Sharing Kids Movies That Are Actually Messed Up, And Now I’ll Never Be Able To Look At Them The Same

This week, Reddit user u/Inflatabledartboard4 asked people, “What is the most fucked up kids’ movie?” Be prepared to see some of your faves on here — here are all the movies they shared!

1. “Monster House. The movie is literally about a man living in a house possessed by his dead wife and the house literally eats living creatures so I’d say that’s what fucked me up as a kid.”

2. “The Hunchback of Notre Dame. I’m pretty surprised no one wrote this. It’s based on a pretty dark book for adults, the idea of making a kids’ movie from a book whose plot is basically about a priest (judge in the movie) and a crippled man both creepily obsessed with a young girl is mind-boggling to me.”

3. “Brave Little Toaster has suicide and abandonment all around.”

4. “The Land Before Time, without a doubt. Jurassic Park made me see the T-Rex as this big badass who let humans know why she was the queen of Nublar. Sharptooth, though? Just this glorious bastard that took twisted pleasure in killing and tormenting little dinosaur children. Land Before Time is the film that made me scared of rexes for a little while, but Jurassic Park got me to respect them again.”

5. “Dumbo. The animal abuse, neglect, and let’s not forget the ‘Elephants on Parade’ scene when Dumbo gets drunk. I have not been able to watch this movie as an adult.”

—u/ArtisanalMagi

6. “All Dogs Go to Heaven. Our hero is released from prison, only to be MURDERED by his former boss via vehicular homicide. Then that dog eventually winds up being continuously tortured by demon dogs in Hell. The giant demon dog filling the town with blood-red smoke at the end is some pretty terrifying imagery.”

7. “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. The scene where Elliott watches E.T. die is all kinds of traumatizing. Never mind the Christ-like resurrection afterward, the damage is still done.”

8. “The Fox and the Hound still has me traumatized to this day.”

—u/asayle88

9. “Pinocchio has moments that are straight-up nightmare fuel.”

“The kids being turned into donkeys is some real body-horror shit.”—u/GiantAngryJellyfish

10. “For me, it’s Bridge to Terabithia.”

—u/Strofari

11. “Coraline.”

12. “Return to Oz.”

“The hallway of heads scene horrified me as a kid!!!”

—u/nbtfaith

“The wheelers and especially the chase scene where they hit the sand and turn into it…dear god.”—u/superschaap81

13. “Chicken Run. An animated movie about chickens trying to escape a farm before they get killed. Funny but dark.”

14. “The Secret of NIMH.”

—u/Slowch28

 “Think it gave me slight claustrophobia from the mud flood scene.”—u/Vhalerun

15. “The Adventures of Milo and Otis. Not the plot of the movie itself, but the backstory and production is terrible. So many animals were harmed in the making of such an innocent kids movie.”

—u/JRMars17

16. “101 Dalmatians. Who the fuck thought the villain’s premise of skinning 100+ puppies was a great kids’ movie?”

—u/Mathguy_314159

17. “I always thought The Parent Trap was super fucked up. Who separates twins like that with each parent and doesn’t tell them?! How could the parents be ok with loving one kid?! Fuckin wild lol.”
