People want to complain how dark alot of the early Disney films were...yet...has anyone actually read the original stories they are based off of? The book "Pinocchio", for example, WAY darker than any on screen portrayal from Hollywood. In fact, I'd recommend looking up "Un burattino di nome Pinocchio" from 1971. It is an Italian animated film that follows the original book way more closely, with many of the darker moments included. This was not a Hollywood film, so they didn't hold back on the storybook details.

[@COELACANTHofficial]

@@SaturnGrl The original tale of Pinnochio was EXTREMELY dark. Pinnochio crushes Jiminy Cricket and gets hung at the end of the book 😬

[@SaturnGrl]

@@COELACANTHofficial Well, the cricket actually didn't have a name in the book, but yeah, he was crushed when Pinocchio threw a hammer at his head. And Pinocchio was hung from a tree by the cat and fox when he refused to give up where he hid his gold coins, but that wasn't at the end of the book, that was at the end of the first half of the story. It continues on after that, where the fairy with the blue hair has him cut down from the tree.

[@elconferencistaaspergeraut3806]

The donkey transformation in Pinocchio is the one that represents for me true childhood trauma, and the whole Plague Dogs movie was hard to watch. And that's what makes me respect them both, as they make concience about our awful tendencies as society. Whether vice, scams, traffic and animal abuse. Worst of all, none of any of the villains in both movies got what they deserved, which, again, is no different from our reality.

[@HB_Doraemon_Multitoons]

The donkey scene is to teach a lesson for the boys who are behaving bad! (Well very obviously)

Isiah 3:10-12 Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them, For they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him, For the reward of his hands shall be given him. As for My people, children are their oppressors, And women rule over them. Eventually everyone who has done evil and does not turn to Jesus to be saved will get what they deserve whether they like it or not. It also makes it more sad because by denying God they are simply digging their own graves. Jesus died for everybody and will accept everyone who comes to Him to be saved, but even the bible states that there are those whose hearts will harden to God all the more and will continue to go deny Him.

Hot take: The scenes in Dumbo and Pinocchio were "scared straight" types of scenes, intended to make kids be scared of drinking booze or gambling, watching boxing or having adult activities. They came from an earlier time where people thought you had to toughen kids up to make them do good things instead of just patiently teaching them right from wrong like we believe now. Also the Hellfire scene from Hunchback is one of the greatest works of art in human history.

The Lion King when Simba lies on the grass and the dust spells the word SFX but parents read sex

[@niceguy169]

No, it was "SEX", clearly and unquestionably. It is NOT a matter of perception, it's a matter of which version you check. It became too known so in later releases Disney weaselled out and edited it to "SFX", then had the balls to claim that's what it was the whole time, a shout-out to the Sound Effects team. No. This was sloppy spin doctoring. Meanwhile I learned of this Easter Egg from a DISNEY PUBLISHED list of naughty Easter eggs, where they themselves flat out said it was "SEX". In the early 90s a friend's little brother earned a spot in a Disney young future animators summer camp thing, this list was in their welcome packet (this, the Little Mermaid one in this video, and Aladdin saying "Teenagers, take off your clothes", are the items I remember. I confirmed Lion King and Aladdin on VHS tapes at the time). Aladdin's one is my favourite because THAT line is what seems to get Jasmine to recognize him, LOL!

All of them were good choices, but as far as I can think of, some from animated movies would be "Felidae," a 1994 German animated movie about a cat who is a detective who is solving brutal murders from other cats. Some of the cats are experimented into becoming mutant cats, and the story itself pushes some boundaries. For "Beetlejuice" 1988, I had a few thoughts about the plotline: some of my family members believed the movie was too anti-religious. It was nothing pleasant for it to be a kid's movie, and it mentioned some adult content like what "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" did. Oh yeah, is it possible for "Coraline" 2009 to be a creepy kids' movie and have some parts that are a bit shocking to understand? Between imagination and reality, can you mess up your mind to determine which side you should choose as a kid? Well, I wished Coraline didn't find the doorway to the other side, or else, she could've ended up what those ghost kids did.

The Donkey scene in Pinocchio scared me to death when I first saw it! Was so scared to walk to Kindergarten by myself for a week 😂

#7: There actually is no question, that was a naughty Easter egg, it was intentional. Apparently Disney staff - primarily the animators - like sneaking stuff into the movies. A friend's younger brother was quite artistic and in the early 90s earned a place in a Disney young animators summer camp thing. In their welcome packet was a list of such things hidden in Disney movies, I remember 3: This one, Aladdin saying "Teenagers, take off your clothes", and Lion King flopping down in the leaves, for a few frames it spells "SEX". (The Rescuers infamous one might have been on there too?). confirmed the latter 2 at the time, my brother happened to own both VHS tapes. Mermaid and Lion King were edited out in later releases due to becoming common knowledge (Lion King was edited to "SFX" to claim it's a shout-out to the sound effects team, so there are many people who believe that lie). What I love about the Aladdin one is that it's when the tiger is threatening him on the balcony, in the midst of "good tiger, nice tiger", it's when the "camera" is on Jasmine, THIS line is what seems to trigger her "wait, I recognize that voice" face. :) Wait, KZbin has been shoving this suggestion in my face for days, thumbnail showing a sobbing hulking crow bending over someone, large bloody wound on his back. WHERE was that thumbnail? DON'T use thumbnails that aren't IN the video! It's dishonest and unnecessary. If I clicked/tapped for the thumbnail, I'd give this video a thumbs down for such disgusting practices.

i watched the secret of NIMH as a kid.....the battle between Justin and Jenner "take what you can when you can", the death of Nicodemus & the scene where when the rats/mice escape NIMH the mice were sucked to their deaths in the air vents...only Jonathan & r ages survived. the brave little toaster....the AC meltdown. the 1st time i watched Akira......i saw the part where Tetsuo was in the stadium, he was zapped by a laser, loses his arm, starts to mutate & crushes his GF....i was not ready for that. i didn't see the beginning so i had no idea what i was watching.

[@karasuthedreamer6353]

Fun fact: the first time I watched Dumbo as a kid I ran right out of the room when the pink elephant scene came on.

[@rosemartasgaminghoard]

Aladin is meant to be set in either ancient or medieval East Asia, possibly even a fictional representation of ancient Bagdad, a place where violence was pretty common place. Punishments for even minor crimes were severe, as seen when Jasmine almost looses her hand for stealing. As for Song of the South how is a southern black man supposed to sound?

[@GrandInfernoElite]

Its more for that fact that the character is thinking fondly of slavery and wants to go back

[@rosemartasgaminghoard]

@@GrandInfernoElite I don't remember that part. I thought the movie was about Uncle Remus telling the stories of Briar Rabbit to the boy.

[@1992disney]

@@GrandInfernoEliteWrong. He was free because the movie took place during the Reconstruction Era, when slavery was abolished.

[@kencougr]

"Plague Dogs" is the most traumatizing animated film I have ever seen. I saw it as an adult in it's original run and I left the theater in tears.

[@RayvenLunaNite]

Ok but as a mom to 2 girls (one who just hit puberty,) Turning Red actually made it easier for my daughter to accept her body changing. She saw the movie first, made the connection and asked. We talked and she wasn't freaked out when it happened. I think it handled the topic beautifully if my special needs daughter grasped it.

[@fairywillowwolf2617]

Tbh I found it odd when Jessica rabbit was deemed too sexual although yes she is over sexual but it actually pays homage to the fact most cartoon characters were in more adult content before becoming a kids show which is why she says “I’m not bad I’m just drawn that way” and the reason her body is exaggerated is because the animators wanted to actually animate her and not just copy the movements of a person

[@2511_blender]

Bambi and Pinocchio totally shattered me as a kid.

[@Beth_Alice_Kaplan]

Chicken Run was brilliant. (“I told you they was organized!”)

[@mskrisclark684]

Song of the South....got the Japanese laser disc.

[@hazboy11]

The one from all dogs go to heaven literally gave me nightmares as a child 😂😂😂

[@alalanilee2598]

Chicken Run used to scary me so bad 😂😂

[@adamgillen7412]

I love Song of the South.

[@AlexandraZe]

There are so many movies, animated or not, that are not for kids. I went to see deadpool with my husband recently, and there was a child behind us who was laughing at the fight scenes. My heart sank when I heard his cute giggles. Just because it's a superhero movie, doesn't mean a child can watch it. Deadpool is an anti-hero actually, and the jokes, violence and everything else was so, so bad...

[@annafowdy]

Um, Hazel was the main character in Watership Down.

[@COELACANTHofficial]

Song of the South is in my top 5 favorite Disney movies, and it's is one of my favorite animated movies in general. Albeit it is technically a hybrid film. People have no clue what their ranting about when talking about the movie because they haven't seen it. First of all, it takes place in the Reconstruction Era. There are no slaves in the movie. And nobody is treated as a slave. The movie is about a boy named Johnny whose father leaves him. Uncle Remus looks after him and comforts him while his father is gone. Kind of almost becoming his father figure throughout the movie. Remus teaches him valuable lessons about outsmarting people who want to hurt him and valuing the people around him. The live-action segments are beautifully written and emotional. You come to love the relationship Johnny and Uncle Remus develop throughout the movie. And the animated sections are also beautiful. Bre'r Fox is a genuinely great villain. Bre'r Rabbit is a fun and cunning character. And Bre'r Bear and Bre'r Fox's relationship is also great. You can say that the movie is "racist" for taking place during the Reconstruction Era, which would honestly be pretty stupid because a time period can't be racist. But outside of that, there is absolutely NOTHING racist or wrong with the movie. And if you so want to try and prove me wrong, please, go ahead and watch the movie. Find something racist in it outside of the time period it takes place in.

[@lindseychan5493]

I really like the movie too. The only other ppl I know who have seen it are my siblings, and one grade school friend. Anyone else I've spoken to about it have never actually seen it. The subject of this movie has been brought up a lot because I live in Orlando, only 10 minutes from Walt Disney World. When it was announced that Splash Mountain was going to be closed, all ppl would talk about was Song of the South. Funny thing was they were talking about a movie they knew zero about. Splash Mountain is gone now, along with it's amazing musical score, but the parks are always changing....so it's something I'm used to. I still miss Mr.Toad's Wild Ride. 😅

[@1992disney]

And those are the same people who had Splash Mountain replaced with the disaster that is Tiana's Bayou Adventure for the same reason.

[@COELACANTHofficial]

@1992disney And what really added fuel to the fire after taking down Splash Mountain was out of all characters, out of all movies, they decided to re-theme it to fit The Princess and the Frog. And they even had the audacity to name it _Tiana's_ Bayou Adventure. They had to make it about Tiana. You see, Disney are the ones who are racist. And so are the people who follow their crap. Disney is the woke racist company who will do anything to appease the loudest audience. What's truly racist is claiming Splash Mountain was racist for using charactes from a movie that isn't even racist in the first place, and then replacing it with a movie who's main protagonist is literally black. That's Disney who is the racist one. And the people who helped them tear down Splash Mountain to replace it with Tiana. And guess who the was the loudest group at the time that they were appeasing. The largest majority of people who were complaining about Splash Mountain were black. At the time of the controversy, they mostly made up the loudest group. I am no racist man. But I will challenge people who claim not to be racist who really are. People who whine and complain to other people to get what they want. And I'll also say this, there were MANY African Americans who enjoyed Splash Mountain just as much as I did. There were races of all kinds from around the world who enjoyed Splash Mountain. But to Disney, it's not race that matters, it's who's the loudest that matters. They are the people who Disney let's influence their choices. Anyways, sorry that was so long if you've made it to the end. I had to get that out because it's not talked about enough imo.

[@COELACANTHofficial]

@lindseychan5493 I live close to Orlando. When I was younger, I used to go to the Disney parks all the time. But there was always something special to me about Splash Mountain. As a kid, the musical score, characters, and the overall ride were just... magical. There was something truly special about how they threw you into the world of the characters. When I heard that they were going to shut down Splash Mountain, there was nothing more I wanted than to ride it one last time. It was my favorite place to go to at Magic Kingdom. But it was already too late. The ride itself may be gone now. But the memories that I made will always stick with me.

[@COELACANTHofficial]

@lindseychan5493 I'm glad you liked Splash Mountain. And glad to hear you like Song of the South, too! It's genuinely a great movie. A misunderstood one. It's always nice to find someone else who has watched it.

[@goodfella1401]

I can't even imagine how many controversies the cartoon Alfred J. Kwak would've caused in America with the show doing episodes about fascism, kids doing drugs and apartheid

[@martinmcneal2778]

The donkey scene was still so freaky to me as a kid, like yeah I get that they were being bad and stuff, but they literally were there for less than a day and nobody is perfect (especially if they are uneducated on what's right or wrong) When I went to go see the live action version, I stayed until the donkey scene happened, expecting something different, only to be disappointed and left before the movie ended

[@flodoll9800]

To be fair, the crows in Fritz the Cat are depicted in an ironic way compared to the ones in Dumbo

[@COELACANTHofficial]

I don't care how controversial it may be, or whatever anyone might say. Fritz the Cat is a masterpiece of a film, an animated one at that. And it will forever be.

[@desperadox7565]

Absolutely!

[@COELACANTHofficial]

@@desperadox7565 Thanks, man 👍

[@HB_Doraemon_Multitoons]

The Animation is not bad but the Crow Near Death Scene is still shocking.

That was a cool movie.

[@desperadox7565]

The Pinocchio story is just following the book. They couldn't just leave out essential plot parts.

[@sapphirewingthefurrycritic985]

Honestly, Bambi was toned down compared to the book.

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

The whole movie of fritz the cat is controversial.
