History NightmareFuel / DisneyAnimatedCanon

There's a camp that believes that Disney movies are [[AnimationAgeGhetto kiddy-fluff]] that can never hurt a fly, or kids feelings...and then there's the camp that has seen and developed nightmares when they ''were'' kids. Classic Disney was more well known to giving kids nightmares, but Modern Disney isn't completely kid-friendly either.

* WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqEVYbPw9lI breakdown]] in the "Mickey and the Beanstalk" segment. Surrounded by death, no possible source of food beyond the bit of bread and beans, and absolutely no hope. He freaks out and tries to eat his plate and silverware. Mickey and Goofy almost have to strangle him to get him to stop. Then he sees the cow they own and goes AxCrazy on it in an attempt to kill it. The scariest things about these scenes weren't Donald suddenly going mad or his murderous impulses, but the realism of said portrayal. Donald's insanity is the result of desperate starvation due to an extreme famine, and it's a common fact that desperation due to near-death situations usually brings out the most violent, ugliest sides of human nature.
* The song that plays during the sequence of the growing beanstalk has a rather eerie, unnatural-sounding feel that matches the dim lighting of the scene. Although the sleeping characters aren't being physically harmed as the beanstalk grows through their house, watching it creep through the floor, walls, windows, and doors might make older viewers think of an invader [[AdultFear breaking into their house in the middle of the night.]]

* The last 15 minutes of the Sleepy Hollow segment is all about the mental shock-and-trauma. Not only do we have Brom Bones's ultra-creepy song to put Ichabod on edge, Icky then has to trek home through a Forrest O'Doom where everything seems to want to kill him. And then something wants to kill him. [[spoiler:And it does. Maybe]]
