Top 10 Darkest Disney Movies

The movie discusses genocide, lust, death, humiliation, and other dark themes. My reasons for voting for this one are:

- Frollo is a terrible, TERRIBLE person. He killed Quasimodo's mother when the hunchback was only a baby and nearly drowned him. He also manipulates him throughout the movie, making him reveal the location of the Court of Miracles. Frollo shows lust for Esmeralda, which is inappropriate. He says in the Hellfire song: "Choose me or your pyre. Be mine, or you will burn." He burns down the house of an innocent family and nearly kills Quasi and Esmeralda. His death is also very scary.
- The movie includes religious terminology, such as Maria (Mary), God, sins, hell, devil, etc.
- The part where Quasi gets humiliated is very sad to watch.
- Frollo says he'll find Esmeralda, even if he burns all of Paris in the process.
- And other reasons.

With its creepy villain and the undead army that he's created with the black cauldron, this movie could be on the list where the darkness raised the bar in Disney animation.

Forgive me for saying this, guys, but I'm afraid those people at Disney might have been on drugs when they made this piece of trash.

There is a rumor that there is a deleted scene with partial nudity from the princess. Brought to you by the happiest place on earth.

Dude, this movie is really dark. Children are turned into donkeys and sold away, probably killed. Kids are drinking and smoking. The giant fat puppet show owner is going to kill Pinocchio. A fox and cat try to get him killed. Geppetto, the cat, and the fish get eaten by a whale, and then the whale kills Pinocchio. Do I have to say more, or talk about the book?

Child trafficking, death, kids drinking/smoking, children gone forever, possibly murder...I mean, do I really need to say more? The villains get away with it, and all of those donkeys (A.K.A kids) will keep disappearing and dying because they are kids who don't like supervision from adults (like most kids out there).

Scar murders Mufasa in order to take over as king, then tricks Simba into deserting his kingdom by telling him that Mufasa's death was his fault. Simba comes back all grown up, challenges Scar, and sends him over the edge, where he is either killed or eaten by the hyenas.

It may be all happy and cute at first with Simba and Nala's friendship as cubs, but then it gets darker throughout the movie and escalates to Scar killing Mufasa and blaming Simba for it. Then Simba returns as an adult and fights Scar.

Definitely the best Disney movie ever made. Since Chernabog is the reason to be scared, it deserves to be top 3. Chernabog is the scariest and the best Disney villain ever made.

It really depends on the segment. Night on Bald Mountain is quite dark, but other segments are either merely artistic or have Mickey Mouse in a sorcerer's hat.

This should be in the top three, or in the top five at least. By the middle of the movie to the end, it gets sadder and sadder, and the themes of wildlife make you feel lost. This movie is incredibly good and sad. Probably one of the best Disney films, in my opinion.

The first half of the movie is more kid-friendly, but after both Tod and Copper grow up, they are pitted against each other. Even Big Mama warns Tod that the time will come when Copper will do what Amos has trained him to do, which is to hunt game. The scene where Tod and Copper are face-to-face with a crazed look in their eyes as they go in for the kill is intense.

Return to Oz drops everything that was great about the original Wizard of Oz. The colorful atmosphere, musical numbers, and lovable characters are replaced with hideously deformed characters and a darker tone.

This should be number 3. The Nome King is dark and creepy and tried to eat Jack!

This is a dark, creepy, and weird film that they made based on L. Frank Baum's books.

It is a little too scary for little kids but is really, really good.

Despite its cuteness, this movie has a couple of dark moments. The most memorable is the death of Bambi's mom. Another scene is where a couple of birds are hiding in the grass, and one of them starts panicking uncontrollably, flies off, and is shot down by the hunters.

The inner story of this film is full of discrimination. Toys in one room are treated one way, and other toys are treated in another. And then there's the incineration scene...

The first two were not very dark, with very few exceptions, but things took a pretty dark turn here with Lotso's backstory, the incineration scene, and pretty much the whole last quarter of the film.

This film was probably the darkest of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. It deals with loss and suffering. It also has a few violent depictions. Davy Jones has some pretty deep motivations.

Jack coming back from the dead and the death of the captain (I forget his name) are very sad.

This is so dark it should be number 7. Pocahontas wanted to die if John Smith died! And Kocoum dies. He's a main character, and the dark song Savages shows that Ratcliffe wants to kill hundreds!

The Evil Queen commands the Huntsman to kill Snow White, and if that wasn't enough, she also wants him to rip out her heart and place it in a chest as proof of her death.

Snow White nearly getting murdered at the start or poisoned is definitely dark. Let's not forget the boulder that crushed the evil queen and then had her corpse eaten by vultures. Definitely one of the darkest Disney films.

One character sees his disembodied head, and the villain is terrifying. So, yeah.

Surprised this wasn't here already. But hey, at least we have Brother Bear! Definitely deserves its spot!

Kenai kills Koda's mother out of revenge. That's pretty dark. It also has one of the best morals/lessons of any Disney movie because of this.

Killing a bear and then nearly getting murdered by his brother is very dark.

Kenai stabbed Koda's mother. Also, the background music is pretty dark.

The scene where the Hatter tells Alice about when the Red Queen took over.

Why do people never put this high it is TERRIFYING. The sister gets possessed multiple times, the protagonists is getting stalked by a girl with a blindfold and there's a FRICKIN LIEN AT THE END disney's most scary movies are totally the live action ones.

It's dark mostly because of the whole voodoo magic thing.
