Nightmare Fuel / Disney Sing-Along Songs

• Heigh-Ho:
  • The ending to the "Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life for Me)" segment from pre-1994 copies of Heigh-Ho (taken from Disneyland: From Pirates of the Caribbean to the World of Tomorrow). After the sing-along portion, the animatronic pirates (themselves falling into Unintentional Uncanny Valley) start shooting each other near some barrels containing explosives. One bullet finally hits a barrel which explodes.
    • The opening of said song, which uses Stock Footage from the Walt Disney Presents episode "Toot, Whistle, Plunk, and Boom" where Professor Owl introduces the Silly Symphony Music Land, where palm trees start literally clapping their "palms", is quite an unsettling image for some viewers.
  • There's something...off...about the way that "Let's Go Fly a Kite" ends: Professor Owl suddenly grabs a strange black faceless figure (with very long arms and a legless triangle shaped body and head) and throws it onto a songbook, where it swings its arms and causes the music on the page around it to go all weird and disappear, leaving it alone on a dark background. Obviously, this is a character from the original Professor Owl shorts, but their appearance here is sudden and comes with no explanation (it didn't appear before or after this). Coupled with its creepy appearance, the Deranged Animation, the bombastic finale of "Let's Go Fly a Kite" under-scoring the scene, and the scene Smash Cutting to "Heigh Ho" afterwards, the scene is likely to confuse if not outright scare a kid watching it.
• The promos at the end of the videos featuring a boisterous Ludwig Von Drake creeped out many young children. Earlier releases had him narrating the other volumes but from Be Our Guest to Colors of the Wind, they opened with him singing loudly off-key while playing a piano. The last of these ads became even more of an unpleasant surprise when it started appearing on tapes outside of the Sing-Along Songs collection.
• Many of the VHS tapes in this series featured the Walt Disney Home Video logo with Sorcerer Mickey, whose blood red letters and music are known to have creeped out some viewers.
• Disneyland Fun:
  • "Grim Grinning Ghosts" was known to scare a good number of kids. The whole creepy ambiance of The Haunted Mansion at night, the dancing trees with glowing yellow eyes, the gathering of Disney Villains, the sequence of creepy animatronics from the ride, and the deep voice of Thurl Ravenscroft singing the song all contribute to the spookiness. While there are a few touches of Nightmare Retardant comedy, like Donald Duck dressed as a Bedsheet Ghost and Maleficent scaring the other villains just by saying "Boo!", they only soften the effect a tiny bit. The ending where the kid is talking to his friend "Danielle" (who dreamed up this whole sequence in the first place) will also catch you off guard, if you're named Danielle.
  • The other segment to be Accidental Nightmare Fuel for some kids was "The Great Outdoors". Shaker and Liver Lips McGrawl look particularly Unintentional Uncanny Valley, there's a bit where kids are seen running out of a cave while screaming as Liver Lips comes out behind them, the song includes the lyrics "And if you won't come join us, we'll chase you up a tree!", and the chorus could be (mis)heard as "Ain't nothin' like the Great Outdoors to eat your soul!".
• "I Love To Laugh" featured "Pink Elephants On Parade" from Dumbo, which many children found to be creepy and terrifying.
