Top 20 Scariest Disney Moments Ever 

The snake jafar scared my sister out

The Druun in Raya and the Last Dragon were terrifying since they killed every character in the film (except for Sisu, but her death was another story). It was scary to see everyone dead with no one alive to save anyone. The characters only hope was a glowing ball of dying dragon magic. I would also say Ratigan ordering his cat to eat the drunken mouse scene from the Great Mouse Detective was very disturbing. The drunk mouse’s poor friends pled for Ratigan to spare their friends life, only to watch in horror as he was eaten and then shed tears of sorrow at their friend’s horrible demise.

The scene that gave me a Nightmare as a Kid was Sid's dog scudd and Poppas fall in The Good Dinosaur

Hmmm

Some of them did like Ursula's demise, the Evil Queen's transformation, Lampwick and the boys turning into donkeys, and Olivia's kidnapping. One scene that I'm surprised is not on here is the scene of Cinderella leaving the ball at midnight and being chased by palace guards. The visuals and music gave me nightmares for years.

He’s so evil that my family to this day absolutely hate this movie so much 😂. I’m Catholic and even I know how religion while sometimes good can also be simultaneously dangerous for the human mind

What's even more disturbing is that some of the themes that the movie show and actions are also in real life too... especially in today's society

@@AndersonTenecela According to history.. well.. it’s definitely done a lot more bad.. I honestly see a lot more people like frollo in real life using religion for their own selfish ways and to spread hatred than be good people…

The religious connection with Frollo is very superficial. The whole point is that he DOESN'T act like a good Catholic, in contrast to the Archdeacon at the beginning of the movie. Frollo is scary because he's a power-hungry politician and an ideologue who views himself as the arbiter of right and wrong for the society he's supposed to serve. We have several politicians like this today. They aren't cartoonishly evil, but they're dangerous all the same.

Not to mention the fact that he’s a pervert and a bigot. While the movie had him focusing primarily on the Romani, considering how the middle ages were in real life, he’d probably be trying to have Jews and homosexuals slaughtered for ‘heresy’ as well.

Fr

showing Clayton’s shadow of his corpse is much more creepy and chilling than if they had actually shown his physical dead body

Um no i rather see his shadow then jis body ​@@saklee1777

I’m surprised they put hellfire over the opening. Watching qausi’s mom get killed is disturbing and then frollo tries to throw a baby into a freezing well just because he thought it was a demon for being disfigured..

Yes! The Coachman's gleefully evil smile! He's the Devil!

@@KingOfGaymes 0 pp pp ppp0ll La old p

you are right about that the coachman’s devilish smile in Pinocchio is the scariest Disney scene

@@Snowwinterie uh technically pleasure island 🏝 was horrifying cause I got traumatized when those kids became donkeys. Thankfully my parents calmed me down and I faced it last month but let’s just face it people. The donkey scene in Pinocchio was so creepy and u know other characters in other kids movies who are talking donkeys? Well what if those were boys who could talk and boom! they became donkeys

That was creepy, but nothing scared me more than that horrific face the Coachman made. All the way through my childhood to now, I'll never get over that... face!

@@timclark2818 You mean when The Coachman made the sinister, devilish looking face?.

@@matthewmira3265 Oh, yes... 😞

@@timclark2818 u know the coachmen is saten right?

@@CXP3D I'm aware that the Coachman is... NOT HUMAN.

I could not agree more! Especially given that Snow White was the first Disney movie ever made it’s shocking how it only happens 10 minutes into the movie. And it’s the only time a Disney movie ever scared me either. Everything else on this list is child’s play by comparison!

The Queen became Palpatine

Yes, I found the forest scene more scary than the transformation myself.

Both of those scenes scared me when I was a kid.

You know who's betrayal scared me Mr Waternoose when he said "it's yours" banishing Mike and Sully into the Ice fold Himalayan dimension

Well, he did throw the hyenas under the bus earlier.

Joffa99 M I used 2 cry at that scene probably because I felt bad 4 Sully.

She shouldn't have come to the scare simulator where monsters are busy scaring mechanical children.

@@kichiwas-hargan4775 i think the only reason she went up 2 Sully was because they'd started 2 bond with each other. But like Mike said he should've listened 2 him.

Syndrome kidnapping Jack Jack gave me Jeepers creepers

The same should go for Don Bluth and his movies. Some of them may have been dark and scary in some scenes, but the movies were still good and we should love them as well.

Hell Fire!

Such an underrated movie

Some fans of that film have a theory that the incinerator scene is an allegory of the Nazi Holocaust, because many of those who died in the concentration camps were burned after death.

@@michaelpalmieri7335 And it's even more fitting given how Lotso was one of the most cruel and sadistic Pixar villains ever.

@@rainbowrunner1550 after Frollo

​@@drakedy2145 He's not a Pixar villain though.

@@Furienna Oh Yeah he's a classic villain

I get goosebumps whenever Bard the Dragon did his infamous "Blah!" Gag in Baby Mozart. Yes. It's true. It scared me as a kid, and still gives me a chill these days as an adult.

He was always extra af.

When I was a kid, I found it. Watching it now and noticing much more of the symbolism and certain meanings to the scene, it’s pretty intense and disturbing

There’s a live-action remake of Pinocchio coming to Disney+ imagine that transformation in live-action

@@59771006 I wonder if it would even fly today. I mean modern versions of Pinocchio have had the boys change back to make it not so bleak.

Same here. Im scared when i focus closer on the transformed scene, and Im an adult.

same

yeah that terrified me as a kid

Same that I don’t like Snow White because of that

Correction: Clayton

that's the 2009 3d animated one right?

@@deltamills5641 Yes, that’s the one.

Marley’s doorknob scene, the ghost of Christmas yet to come and the scene with ignorance and want made me jump

His sharp teeths and growing so many heads and roar.

I that part scared me

I never found it scary. It was the 3 fates that freaked me out

Disney can't get all the credit. A lot of the source material for those classic films had dark and disturbing moments.

@@JamesDavy2009 Yeah, like Don Bluth.

Didn’t traumatized me

@Princess Pixel yeah I’ve heard it’s pretty effed up

@@joshuamohlman hey guys I think Clayton from Tarzan had to face his fate. It’s to bad he killed Tarzan’s ape 🦍 family. Maybe he is the spawn of saten

It goes to show how a simple shift in the point of view can really alter the cadence of the scene.

The Where's my FOOD scene scared me

That was so disturbing. I reacted the same way Princess Atta and Flik did, I just closed my eyes.

I agree.👍

I agree 10/10 🦁

It's one of the best movies period. Of alltime. A nearly perfect film

its just nostalgia

Yeah I love the original classic

Preach it!

@@dakota3275 No it ain't just nostalgia. There's more reasons to why it's good rather than just that. The comedy. The music. Almost everything about it is master tier storytelling.

Bard The Dragon was way worse for me. I saw it only one time after visiting my town Library, and I was scared so much. These days, It's fairly tame, though I do get chills down my spine whenever I have to see it.

Ercole Visconti laughing when he was about to win the Portorosso Cup

I always found that scene funny. Didn't scare me at all. Imagine watching it after a toke...

Same. I always liked the ice skating scene from it best.

@@Lucky_Number113 yeah. It is amazing

Melting in a mixture of three different paint thinners? Actually, you're right-I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy a demise of melting alive in a flesh-dissolving mixture.

Then there was that poor wittle shoe in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? 🥺That poor shoe.🥺

“They never come back…as BOYS”

Scary Disney moment was Charles Muntz explaining he murdered two Explorers

Kuzco in the forest (2000) - Yes, it’s mostly a comedy, but it was added in. The "No Capes" flashbacks (2004) - Edna’s rule was created for a reason and seeing each of them being helpless isn’t that great. The family controlled by Doris (2007) - They all try to prevent Lewis from escaping and it also seems to be dystopian rather the normal utopia setting with the colors being removed. Kenai's flashback (2003) - mainly because of the panic and realization of what he’s done throughout it, and also the fact it was created in grayscale. Visiting the Tulgey Wood (1951) - Alice is walking by herself in silence with all kinds of strange creatures around her, including a broom dog and an accordion owl.

@@Paramount-px3to Ehhh, I don’t really find that scary

Fish chase ( Finding Nemo )

Me too.😰

Same 😱

Everything about Pleasure Island scared the fuck out of us.

@@benwasserman8223 yup

Thank you for mentioning him. He's the Epstein of Disney Villains. So disturbing 🤢🤢🤮

Scared me too.

@@SamoaVsEverybody814 What do you mean by "EPSTEIN of Disney villains"?

I saw a scary deleted scene from Toy Story where Sid plays around with Woody and Buzz right before he had his magnifying glass right in front of Woody in broad daylight🤣🤣

In the Jim Carrey version the ghost of Christmas future is Scrooge’s shadow which is creative.

@@TwilightLink77 I hadn’t realized that.

As someone who did a Christmas Carol at the theater and played the ghost of Christmas past. I know everything about that movie

You mean held?

That anecdote tugs at my heartstrings. 💓

@Don Macarthur, you have a good son and it basically shows that you don’t have to watch that horrifying scene alone.

So scary that We sometimes love her.

U know as much as that is creepy he did have to pay 💰 the price for that crime. Didn’t u forget that he literally caused deforestation and kidnapping of animals and false imprisonment.

Come on, how many times have we watched that moment in the film, rather it be watching that moment on RU-vid or watching the entire movie and we get terrified when Scar lets go of Mufasa and cry when Simba tells his father to get up? Easy pretty much every time.

No matter how many times we Watch it, is still both sad and emotional.

Yes, But i still love the Lion King in all my heart.

Same here, it’s my favorite animated film of all time.

Wouldn't call it terrifying so much as I would call it dark (especially showing a character get killed on screen), but definitely emotional.

Ditto. I’d turn it off when it got to that scene when I was a little girl. It still, somewhat scares me even now.

It was a deus ex machina that brought a _Toy Story 2_ moment full circle.

I'm 38 years old and want the Coachman's head to be put on a stake.

The music make it even more heartbreaking and sad.

Oh my god, I've never seen it, but the way you tell about it...

@@shio_juniper I think it's the only Disney movie I know of that the bad guy never gets their comeuppance and no everything is ok in the end. I mean you just see those kids being turned into donkeys, they can't talk anymore, get sold into slavery, and that's it, you never see them again. Pretty grim for a Disney movie.

Those kids got what they deserved for being bad.

When I was a kid, it was forbidden for me to watch "Anastasia" because of Rasputin, my mom knew he would definitely give me nightmares (as did the two first films in a Harry Potter series). I grew up, I like horrors, but yeah, Rasputin is definitely very creepy. He is literally a living dead! But I can't help but inform you that "Anastasia" isn't a Disney media, it was made by Don Bluth and Gary Goldman, who once were in Disney company but left it and founded their own studio in Ireland.

You know what was also scary was when Ercole Visconti saw Alberto exposed identity during the Pororosso cup

And that Molt was never devastated by his brother's death.

Consider them honourable mentions.

sleepy hollow i saw years and years ago gave me nightmares. think it was the johhny depp version. i think my mind blocked it out...sincei dont rem anything lol.

The Donkey transformation scene is more frightening.

Also the hydra scene in hercules. Am somewhat surprised disney let actual decapitation be shown in a film

You mean you think the coachman character is a pedophile? I don't think so, because his plan is not to molest the boys, but simply to take them to Pleasure Island, where they can run wild and do whatever they want, no matter how immoral or evil. They eventually get their comeuppance when they succumb to the island's curse and are turned into donkeys, literally making jackasses out of themselves. The coachman and his black-hooded hoodlums then round up the boys/donkeys so they can sell them to the "salt mines." (Was this a subtle attack on Communism, especially since "Pinocchio" was made in 1940, when Josef Stalin, the then Premier of the Soviet Union, was ordering his notorious "purges" of his perceived "enemies," plus the fact that he temporarily had a "Pact Of Non-aggression" with Adolf Hitler?) Anyway, the coachman seems to think that his actions are justified because the boys are rather mischievous lads who play hooky, that is to say, they tell their parents that they're going to school, but instead, they ditch school and run around the town, getting themselves in trouble. Pinocchio, who also plays hooky (despite his promises to his friends Jimminy Cricket and the Blue Fairy), is among those who are tricked into visiting Pleasure Island.

The scream alone is disturbing, I haven’t seen that movie for years but I can still picture that scene vividly.

True, But i find a little hilarious to see his weird skeleton.

Ditto

I love that movie but I hate to watch it.

@@KakashHatak3 I love that movie too, I will never forget the first time I saw it, I was 13 and I saw it the day it came out without reading the book first, and when Jess found out Lesley died I started crying, I love Anna Sophia Robb she is so beautiful

You wouldn't think it initially, but to reference an old game show, now I see it.
