- |Yup. I came late to this discussion, but here are my nominees:
-
- |The Wizard of Oz -- the witch threatens Dorothy and then her flying monkeys
- |carry Dorothy off where she watches the sands in the hourglass count down
- |the moments before her death...
-
- |Pinocchio -- Pinocchio is kidnapped.
-
- |Dumbo -- Dumbo is taken from his mother.
-
- |And of course, Bambi -- the forest fire scene and the death of Bambi's mother.

- What a bunch of wusses. The only upsetting movie I ever saw in my
- childhood was _Yellow Submarine_. Those bubbles that kept you from
- moving... the blue meanies....
-
- Really disturbed me when I was a kid. Still not sure why....
