Top 10 Most Disturbing Disney Movies

Pinocchio is a cute movie on the surface, but it has some very disturbing stuff in it. The most obvious and well-known part is Pleasure Island, where every child is invited to do anything they want. What they don't know is that there are sinister motivations behind this. A child turns into a donkey and is then enslaved by the man running the land - he isn't stopped, and neither are the children rescued.

The giant whale and the other animals trying to kill our puppet pal don't exactly help make the film any less disturbing either.

This film basically had non-sexual child trafficking in it. What was even scarier was the added humiliation of turning them into jackasses.

Return to Oz is the sequel (?) to the classic The Wizard of Oz! The original movie was charming, innocent, and just an overall lovely family film. So why could the second one be so bad? It's the sequel to a wholesome movie, and it's Disney, for crying out loud!

Dorothy gets shock treatment at an asylum at the beginning of the film because her aunt and uncle think she is crazy for talking about Oz. Excuse me? This movie is strange. There are these creepy guys on bikes called wheelers, which disturbed me a bit, and there was also a whole scene in which Dorothy entered a place full of severed heads... which talked. There are plenty of other things to mention, but I think you've gotten the gist of how disturbing this movie can get.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a great movie... but it's just a bit dark. Most of the disturbing elements of the film come from the villain, who murders a poor innocent cartoon shoe to show the new way he has found to kill toons. Then, at the climax of the movie, the main villain and all of his henchmen are murdered on screen. Even more disturbing is that the villain is a terrifying-looking toon himself. It's just unsettling.

Not to mention, the whole plot is more mature than your average Disney movie, so overall, it's a pretty disturbing one.

I'm mostly talking about the second half with the Headless Horseman. The suspense in this segment is high, the horseman is creepy, and the ending is terrifying. You have no idea whether Ichabod lived to see another day or was beheaded by the horseman. If the latter is true, it's scary to think that this character you've come to know is actually dead. Just straight-up disturbing.

It's even more disturbing when told through the Disneyland ride because it shows that Mr. Toad went to Hell after dying.

This was Disney's first attempt at some kind of fantasy epic... and they failed. But if they were aiming to make it disturbing, they kinda got it. The Horned King is quite unsettling with his army of the dead and his scarily deep voice, and Gurgi sacrificing himself is quite depressing as well.

Four words: Night on Bald Mountain. This isn't exactly scary, but don't tell me it isn't disturbing. The atmosphere, the music, the visuals... everything in this scene is so perfect but also disturbing at the same time. However, this doesn't lessen the quality of the scene at all.

This movie kinda went a little far with the "G" rating. "Unholy desires" and "be mine or burn" were absolutely not "G."

Frollo is disturbing, but interesting, and was voiced by the amazing Tony Jay.

Why isn't this number one?
The triangle-hat dude wants to send a baby to hell and murders its mom!

I honestly like the movie. The only dark thing is a witch hypnotizes children to suck their souls to make her young.

This is mostly the CGI. It's good, just quite uncanny and disturbing, especially those bald twins and the big-headed queen.

The Disney Princesses physically threatening a little girl, led by Cinderella making a shiv out of her shoe. And, of course, everything about that Grand Theft Auto Online ripoff and that song about how "great" it was.

Slaughter Race. Just Slaughter Race. And how it's presented as preferable - from a child's point of view - to a colorful world literally made of candy.

This movie was good, but in my opinion, skeleton Donald Duck was scary.

Good movie (albeit not my favorite), but scarily enough, this film almost displayed a hunter's corpse after he was killed by his own folly, but it was cut because a test audience was horrified. It's funny how they removed that scene, yet at one point, when one scared pheasant tries to fly out of fear and is killed, we see her corpse fall to the ground.

- SailorSedna

Probably on the list because Bambi mourns the loss of his mother onscreen.

The scene where the protagonist goes through a scary forest and then reaches the Dwarves' house. That's it.

That "great message" that is literally already all over social media, and not having the impact people like the person praising this film for being "about realities from our own society" are claiming, is not enough for me to forgive the museum, asylum, and naked animal scenes. In fact, all of that combined makes me utterly hate this trash film and want to hit everyone insisting upon its greatness all the more.

The naked animals, the Lady Gaga parody and her backup dancers, and the scenes at the asylum and the museum are what qualify this movie here. And no, I, for one, am not giving it a pass because of its timely, bleeding-heart, SJW pandering.

No, go and read the book by Hans Christian Andersen.

Ariel has long hair with white lilies and eight oysters attached to her tail and is unclothed. She is 15 years old. Ariel decides to go to the sea witch for help in obtaining an immortal soul. The witch makes a potion for Ariel to get legs, but walking will feel like she is treading painfully upon knife blades, making her feet bleed. The price for the witch's help is her voice. The witch cuts off Ariel's tongue. Her tail is painfully split into legs.

She wakes up the next morning to find the prince looking at her. She sees she is naked and covers up with her long hair. Ariel's walk is so painful she leaves red marks from blood where she walks. She soaks her feet in the cold sea in the evening to ease the pain. Her sisters visit her each night, and one time, she sees her father and grandmother in the distance.

The prince is arranged to meet and possibly marry a girl from a neighboring kingdom, but he loves the girl from the temple, whom he believes saved him. During the journey, the prince is forced to marry. He would rather marry Ariel than another. When the prince sees the princess, he realizes she is the one who found him on the beach after Ariel saved him. He falls in love with her and decides to marry her.

The prince and princess are married and depart on a ship along with a wedding party, with Ariel in attendance. The little mermaid's sisters trade their hair to the witch for a knife. If she murders the prince and allows his blood to wash over her legs before sunrise, she will become a mermaid again and return to the sea to live her 300 years. However, the Little Mermaid is unable to murder the prince and instead throws the knife into the sea. She jumps into the water and dies, dissolving into foam.

After rewatching it when I got older, I was shocked how Disney hung the main villain. His shadow was also a bit freaky.

A heart gets torn out and eaten!

Way too mean-spirited for a Disney movie.
