Well first off I would like to say I think disney is getting abit to scary even for Me and alittle... I Dont know the word but here is the list Jessie: A nanny gets posessed and etc... Girl VS monster: Posessing evil spirits etc... Ok I understand this is halloween kind'of episodes but umm.. I kind'of think this should be on teen nick.
-
How old are you that something that simple and, well, generally not scary.. genuinely scares you..? I dont mean that in a sarcastic or angry way, I'm just curious..
-
Present Disney is far from scary.
Past Disney/their first few movies. Now some of those could get messed up.
Hunchback of Notre Dame, if you really look into it was actually pretty messed up with some of the stuff they added. That movie made me go "THIS IS DISNEY?" |D

Yoursoright.. Present-day disney is kid's talk, years ago, it was messed up crap. xDD

I'm 12 and I don't find Disney a bit scary, now Watership Down, that movie was scary for me when I was 7, But gore and scary stuff doesn't really bother me dat much. X3
Older movies, I agree were Dafaq? But I love them still because back then they didn't have stupid ''TV'' rules that overprotected children.
Parents overreact. X3
-
[color-turquoise] I agree. I don't find disney scary, but older movies were like Dafaq? (As Lugai said)
-
I dont think any of todays Disney (even by typical Disney standards) is all that scary, especially compared to some of their older stuff.
Of course, it all kind of depends on your general attitude towards "scary".
-
None of the Disney movies these days are scary. Some of them have moments where you get surprised or caught off guard depending on what scares you.
While some of the older Disney movies contained darker themes and some proven innuendos. The only thing that made me raise an eyebrow at Disney were a couple of shorter films that I saw. There was one in 1946 that was basically an animated documentary about the female reproductive system XD

^ Exactly.

Modern Disney films are just about as scary as a basket of sleeping kittens, but the old-school Disney could be pretty dark at times. That scene in Pinocchio where we see the boys-turned-donkeys being shoved into crates and sold to the salt mines was pretty dark. Especially so when we never see if any of them ever turn human again, and the bad guys get away with it. Bambi's mother's death scene is another notoriously grim Disney moment, and countless others.
And like Draak mentioned earlier, Disney took a lot of risks with The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Disney would NEVER be able to get away with something like this nowadays.
-
I think the Disney now is okay.
-
I agree with a lot of the people here.
Modern Disney isn't really.. well, scary. Right now all Disney movies are Princesses, giggles, butterflies, and happy endings.
Older Disney, however,
that can be a little.. different from modern Disney, but I don't think it's really scary. I mean, maybe if you think about it too much it can be.
-
I have to say, it is the Same with Docter who. From the darleks and Cyber men to neck snapping Statues. The present TV and films get more scary as the time goes by.
-
Old Disney: They had wonderful stories, plots and overall wonderful.
Modern Disney: Predictable, and generally not very good anymore.
The Disney movies (modern) are getting more and more shifty than the older ones. ''The Princess and the Frog'' involved Voo-Doo, which is a demonic practise related to the devil and possessing evil spirits.
-
Watch Walt's 'sucidemouse.avi' if you want scary disney.
-
No, heck no.
Modern Disney, or at least the majority of it, is far from scary.
I mean, there are a few exceptions, like how they pulled off Dr. Facilier's defeat in "Princess and the Frog" which impressed me for a Disney film.
That and, as Zaroque said, it's involvement of voodoo.
HOPEFULLY "Frankenweenie" will pull it off as a decent scary film.
Tim Burton's lost some of his luster since "The Nightmare Before Christmas", but who knows.
But yes, it really does depend on what scares you, what surprises you, and what you can understand about it.
Even age matters, and not just on how scary it is, but to really see what makes a movie so dark.
As the others have mentioned,
a fine example of a Disney film like that is "Hunchback of Notre Dame," which, while it has those cute and funny moments, does has some very good parts that reflect on the darker side of Paris's history.
These dark scenes cannot be found in Disney films today.
And remember good old "Fantasia?"
You know, the scene with Chernabog?
Yeah, zero percent chance you're gonna see that in a Disney movie today.
So, I've abandoned Disney, with the exception of Pixar.
Truth be told, the last animated film that really scared the bejeebers out of me was "Monster House" but that isn't Disney...
-
Oh yeaaah I forgot about Fantasia. And yeah there's no way Disney would add anything like that anymore.
That's another "THIS IS DISNEY?" moment from me |D

I love monster house, probably one of the only ''scary'' animated movies out there that would make you jump. And as for Princess and the Frog. I hated fairytales but I was forced to watch it with my sister, as soon as I saw the voodoo scene I was sucked into it.
Was an amazing cartoon in my opinion.
But I love animated scares, which is why I love to watch anime such as GDW and Wolfs rain, some people may not really understand. X3
Also if you notice some TV shows, such as Adventure Time (Which I stalk regularly) They have many hidden messages in them, which I love because it means the media hasn't banned every bad thing. X3
But in Ireland they are way overprotective of kids, they blocked out nearly all of the subliminal messages in these shows.
But Adventure time isn't exactly for little kids. X3
My post makes absolutely no sense anymore.
-
Older disney stuff had some dark moments, but not truly "scary" or whatnot. Nowadays its way too sugar coated. Im sorry but I dont know how you can find disney 'scary' . As for Watership down, or felidae, or plague dogs, they weren't really 'scary' either. I love when cartoons are more mature like that, which is why those three are probably my favorite movies ever. A little shocking at the start since all of those movies start out pretty gorey, still awesome C:.You rarely find something of that quality.

Many, many hidden messages in 'Adventure time' , thats why I watch it. I enjoy scary things. If you find one, point me to it.

My word is wow... o.o

The Hellfire song in the Hunchback of Notre Dame was generally stating the strong Catholic beliefs in France at that time, which was very clever and historical for Disney.
The old Disney was much more entertaining than the modern-rubbish that's being made now by the company. Children would find the song rather scary/intimidating, but it gives amazing depth to the character and France in general.

I agree.
Have you seen that horrible S**t they put on TV these days? My sister actually copys what they do on television, making her act like an absolute brat, it's not funny at all, and those laughs that come after unfunny and overused jokes are just ridiculous, I liked the old shows that had funny and original jokes. Adventure time is like that, (Once again I fangirl about Adventure time) Because everything is just so random, but so original and unique!

It's terrible, however, they're steadily making an improvement on their films. Some of their Comedy is getting better, along with 'Gravity Falls', which is very Adventure Time-ish.
But I'll tell you this, in Fantasia (Old one), they did an extremely demonic and very scary short with the devil rising the dead. I was generally scared watching it. Cx

I agree, I used to ''Love'' That's so Raven, brilliant show, and some ICarly episodes are alright. And I kind of like Gravity Falls, though in my opinion it's a bit boring. X3
What I also must rant about is the new Spongebob episodes, man, spongebob was my childhood, the only two shows I remember watching in New Zealand are Spongebob and Meerkat Manor. X3
They have absolutely disgraced the new Spongebob episodes in my opinion. I hate them and I can't stand 3 minutes of a Spongebob episode now.
-
Agreed about Spongebob, but they're not exactly Disney.
Disney have a long way to go since their family-run-business became not so family-run anymore. All film's should have suspense, but sometimes they take it too far.
-
I remember reading an article about some people doing an experiment with Spongebob a while ago. LOL
Turns out kids that were exposed to some Spongebob did worse on tests. Those out of the small number that were used for the experiment, of course.
OK BACK ON TOPIC
I've alway been a lover of comedy though, in honesty. It's why I have a liking for Brave. I love it when those tiny little bears chase that woman to get that key. It's right out there too in how they get it [even though they don't show it, which I doubt they would have in the past either], it's flat out hilarious.
First Toy Story movie scared the crap out of me, but I was a bit squeamish back then so it's not so surprising :'D I was easy to scare when I was little.
Any of you guys remember Mickey and the Beanstalk? Donald went flat out crazy and grabbed an axe or something in that movie if I remember it.
Then there were those crows in Dumbo. ._. They weren't "scary" in the "I am scared!" sense, though.
No, wait. There were several scenes in Dumbo that just freaked the crap out of me, now that I think about it.
-
Yeah, I've seen Mickey and the Beanstalk. It scared me a little.
-
Um...have you seen Bambi? Or the Fox and the Hound or the Lion King? Someone dies in all of those movies!
-
They concept can sound scary at first, (souls, blah blah, evil souls and nannys,) but the way Disney does it where it is stupid, an try to make it funny at the same time. Then it just fails.
-
I rarely watch T.V anymore would you like to know why? THOSE LAUGHS THOSE STUPID LAUGHS AFTER EVERY LITTLE UNFUNNY JOKE THERE IS MY GOD WHY CAN'T THAT LAUGH BUTTON BREAK ALREADY!!?? Back on topic in my opinion no Disney movie is scary nowadays....Ok I admit that one Disney movie did creep me out...Alice in wonderland. I mean they sucked all the cutesy niceness out of it. Of course that's what made me love it. But the creepy parts were the Jabberwocky scene where she kills it now though when I watch it laugh my head off...I have a strange sense of humor
-
I honestly don't see any change much in Disney's productions. Though, that's just my opinion for I was always the one who got deep into those spine-chilling, jump-scare kind of stories/shows/movies so I guess what could be scary to you could be everyday normality to me.
-
I don't find any Disney movies scary.... well maybe except for one. The only Disney movie I ever found scary was The Black Cauldron. The villian in that movie pretty much defines scary o_O. No other Disney movie creeped me out more than the Black Cauldron. In fact, it is said that The Black Cauldron was the first PG animated Disney movie, due to the ghoulish content that was in it. I can see why this movie got such a contriversial rep for being too scary for kids, especially when the Horned King summoned up the army of the dead.

I can understand how some people find some of today's Disney movies to be scary. Some young kids have told me that Pirates of the Carribean scare them. The whole zombie pirate crew on a ghost ship is completely understandable when some younger audiance members say it's scary. When I first watched it, I never really found it scary at all.... but that's just me.
As for the Hunchback of Notre Dame, as some people have mentioned in this thread, I never really found it scary. I remember going to see it when it first came out in theaters back in 1995 or 1996. I never thought it was creepy, since I was too young to understand some of the subject matter in it. It wasn't until my teen years that I fully understood what the subject matter was really all about.
Do I think Disney is a bit too scary? Not to me. They have always made movies that had content that was labled as "scary". From the death of Bambi's mother, to the battle between Aladdin and Jafar, to Pirates battling zombies in the Carribean.
-
Look at the origonal Little Mermaid case, in the background at the castle. And several scenes in The Lion King. That's scary.

Are you talking about the subliminal messages? If so, that's not scary that's just.... okay, maybe it is scary in a way o_O

Nah Disney ain't scary ^^ But some were like WTH? X3

Disney died. The Disney tv channel has just. Died.
Nuff said.

I must agree with Poppy 100%. The Disney TV channel has fallen into the pits of vile.

Also, it's Lugai by the way, I just go as poppy to some other people. I prefer Lugai. :3

Oh, my apologies. I'll call you Lugai from now on then.~ Eh, I have an eight year old stepsister who is head over heels for the new Disney Channel. Makes my ears bleed for she watches it all the time. I miss the old Disney but I suppose there's nothing I, or we, can do about it. It's too sunken in the tar to be pulled out and I'm sure the people who run the channel are just struggling to think up of more crappy jokes to catch the attention of audiences across the globe.
Tis' just being my personal input that is.~

Disney is a bit scary now that I Uncovered The MAIN Code That Flashes Away In A Second "Stan Is Not What He Seems" It creeped me out and my BIG Sister had nightmares, I was worried too because whoever uncovered the code, and the back wards Theme Song might be cursed because the people on YouTube Have Not been posting videos ever since(They Are Possibly Dead.)
