Beloved Jim Carrey Movie Returning to Theaters for 25th Anniversary

Disney is known for its heartwarming fairy tales and colorful animation, but many of the studio’s films also contain moments that are surprisingly dark, or even downright disturbing. While Disney is often associated with the notion of dreams coming true, it’s also responsible for more than a few childhood nightmares.

One of the most haunting scenes in Disney animation history comes from 1940’s Pinocchio, when a group of mischievous little boys are transformed into donkeys on Pleasure Island. The terrified cries of children losing their voices as their bodies contort into animals to be sold into slave labor are chilling, and much more scary than the movie’s monstrous whale.

Similarly frightening, 1996’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame features the corrupt Judge Frollo’s “Hellfire” sequence — a fiery, feverish depiction of lust and religious hypocrisy set against flames and shadow, more akin to Dante than Disney.

In 1994’s The Lion King, the heartbreaking but instant death of Mufasa is a kind end compared to Scar being mauled and likely eaten alive by his hungry hyena horde, while Clayton, the villain of 1999’s Tarzan, meets his end by accidentally hanging himself — a gruesome fate shown in eerie silhouette.

But these are just a few of the moments of sheer darkness in Disney’s animated filmography, where bright-eyed characters face tragedy, death, and existential dread, among other, more subtle horrors.

Meanwhile, these memorably dark Disney scenes endure because they confront the shadows lurking just beyond the magic. They remind audiences, especially young viewers, that fear, loss, and real-world consequences are as much a part of growing up as fairy godmothers, wishing stars, and happily-ever-afters.

Dark and Disturbing Scenes From Animated Disney Movies

Child abuse, gruesome deaths, and existential dread—plenty of animated Disney movies have dark moments, but these scenes are just disturbing.
