Worst Disney Movie Moments

The Top Ten
Mufasa is Killed During the Stampede - The Lion King

It isn't actually feasible. The scene starts with a few hundred wildebeest and ends up with two hundred passing a point every second. The stampede would have been over too quickly for Mufasa or Scar to get there, and Simba would have been fine, as the tree would have held long enough.

Bambi's Mom Gets Shot - Bambi

I hated when Bambi's mom got shot! I was so sad, and I felt so bad for poor little Bambi. This is probably one of the worst moments in Disney movies where I actually felt like crying.

Ursula Disguises Her Self As a Beautiful Woman With Ariel's Voice and Steals Eric Away - The Little Mermaid
Clayton's Death - Tarzan

Clayton's death in Tarzan is so gruesome that I don't even know how they allowed it in the movie. During the final fight scene with Tarzan, Clayton cuts one of the vines, sending him to his death with one of the vines around his neck. Most disturbing is that it shows the shadow of his lifeless body hanging.

It's disturbing to watch a character, good or bad, getting hanged, even if it is just a shadow.

Quasimodo's Humiliation During the Festival of Fools - The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Quasimodo gets crowned the King of Fools, then gets tied up while the people pelt him with tomatoes. The whole time, Quasi cries for Frollo to help him, but Frollo refuses to stop them.

Dumbo's Mom Gets Taken Away - Dumbo

All she was trying to do was protect her son Dumbo, and she ends up getting locked up because of it.

Cinderella's Sisters Destroy Her Dress - Cinderella

In response to the "thief" comment: The stepsisters were otherwise about to throw away the material used for the dress and even outright called those things "trash." So no, the fact that Cinderella used stuff they had discarded does not justify what they did.

After all the hard work Cinderella's friends did to make her the dress, it gets destroyed by her two stepsisters, ruining her chance of going to the Ball.

I think that Cinderella is a thief. She stole the fabric from her stepsisters without permission.

Mulan's True Identity Is Revealed - Mulan

Mulan saves Shang but gets injured. After the doctors fix her up, everyone finds out that she's a woman. Shang was going to execute her but spares her life for saving his, and then he and the rest of the army leave her behind.

This scene just reminds me how sexist the world can be against women. Why should she be executed for trying to save her father?!

Hans Betrays Anna - Frozen
King Triton Destroys Ariel's Collection - The Little Mermaid

Triton completely overreacted in this scene. By destroying Ariel's collection, he did more harm than good.

The Newcomers

? Vanellope sings about her dream of living in a crappy violent game - Ralph Breaks the Internet

That song "In This Place" (or "A Place Called Slaughter Race") tried to present that awful, crapsack game as some kind of utopia, and we had to endure Sarah Silverman singing!

? The Disney Princesses act like rude, vapid trollops - Ralph Breaks the Internet

The "Vanellope meets the Disney Princesses" scene is also awful when they (in their uninspired new Hot Topic ensembles) save Ralph for the sole purpose of being the ones to save the big strong man for once. Not to mention, they put him in one of the dresses they had been convinced to ditch in favor of becoming the "comfy squad" and had him kiss frog Naveen for cheap laughs.

The Contenders
Pleasure Island's Displeasures - Pinocchio

At least Pinocchio didn't stay there forever, and we weren't expected to cheer his decision to stay there forever. Unlike a certain "heroine" who made such a decision (in a place comparable to Pleasure Island) decades later.

Uh oh, donkeys crying in a carnival parade in Rio.

After I watched this movie scene, I threw up.

Vanellope snatches Ralph's "you're my hero" medal off of him and throws it off the tower - Ralph Breaks the Internet

No, the remains being repurposed as one of those stupid "friendship pendants" or whatever does *not* make it better.

Vanellope Going Turbo to Join the Slaughter Race Game - Ralph Breaks the Internet

Also, when she bonded with that lady gangster.

Vanellope's conversation with Shank - Ralph Breaks the Internet

It was one of many flagrant attempts to make us adore Shank. Unfortunately, given the cult surrounding Shank, it worked.

Bleaching Pocahontas's skin with powder to be accepted by society and her new lover - Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World
Tadashi Dies - Big Hero 6

And he died needlessly - the guy he ran back into the inferno to save had made it out after all.

The Next Right Thing - Frozen II
Dodger and the Gang Rescue Oliver from Jenny - Oliver & Company

This moment actually refers to when Dodger and the gang take Oliver back after he finds a home with Jenny. After returning to the hideout, Oliver is unhappy that the gang took him away from Jenny, who had given him a home. Dodger gets a little offended when he thinks that, because Oliver found a home with Jenny, he no longer sees them as his family. Dodger then tells Oliver straight up that if he doesn't like it here anymore, he can go back.

Very Good Advice - Alice in Wonderland

Look, Alice breaks down crying. Poor girl.

You Really are a Bad Guy - Wreck-It-Ralph
Tiny Tim Dies During Scrooge's Vision of the Future - A Christmas Carol

You mean "Mickey's Christmas Carol," where Mickey actually played the role of Bob Cratchit (Scrooge was played by his own namesake)?

Lampwick becomes a Donkey - Pinocchio
Snow White's Funeral - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Lost in the Forest - Snow White
Tears of Joy - Inside Out
