All Dogs Go To Heaven
Now the clue is in the title on this one but that wasn’t enough to stop us flocking to the cinema to see what was advertised as a classic Disney happy film. That cinema was quickly filled with crying children when it became clear that the loveable Charlie B Barkin is about to be murdered by his friend Carface.
It gets worse when he actually is killed, goes to Heaven and decides to return to Earth to be with his best friend and an orphan girl who teaches him how to be kind. It’s tear jerking stuff.
Watership Down
No film in the history of cinema is quite as infamous for disturbing children as Watership Down.What starts as a lovely tale of Bunnies in the English countryside suddenly turns very real when the characters are killed off by rival rabbits, poachers, dogs and traps. Who can forget the hideous scene where Bigwig is caught in a snare trap? The film also tackles themes such as slavery, the grim reaper and the afterlife, all of which is way too much for a young child.
So these are the kids films that disturbed us as children but which ones left you traumatised when you were young? Let us know in the comments.
