These Are Without a Doubt The Darkest Moments In Disney Movies

We’d like to think that children’s films are all about the good guy beating the bad guy. And princesses living happily ever after, of course. But some movies have a downright bizarre and grim storylines that can be scary as hell.

So here are the absolute darkest moments in Disney movies you wish you could forget.

“Hunchback of Notre Dame,” When Hunchback Gets Tortured

A disfigured Quasimodo stays locked up in the Notre Dame Cathedral’s tower and rings the bell. During the Festival of Fools, Frollo’s thugs start a riot, leading a crowd to torture Quasimodo, and proving that people are complete and total as*holes.

When the Blue Fairy gives Pinocchio life, she offers him the chance to become a real boy if he behaves. Of course, he doesn’t, and goes off to explore the world.

But he gets caught in a child trafficking ring and barely escapes in time to rescue his father, Geppetto. Pretty family friendly…

“Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs,” The Murder Attempt

The Evil Queen orders a huntsman to cut out Snow White’s heart and bring it to her as she didn’t need the extra competition in the beauty department. Hum, sounds reasonable? When he fails, the queen tries again, but this time, she disguises herself as an old lady and gives Snow a poisoned apple.

“Nightmare Before Christmas,” Santa Gets Tortured

Jack, the king of Halloween Town, sends his minions, Lock, Shock, And Barrel to Christmas town to steal Santa.

Not only does Santa get stuffed in a sack and dragged across town, but he also gets badly tortured, which is bound to traumatize ANYONE.
