20 Disney Moments That Went Completely Off the Rails

Legal ruthlessness and lengthy history of racism aside, Disney is all but synonymous with wholesomeness. Their parks are the happiest places on earth, their TV channels are alternate realities where vice doesn’t exist, and you can’t even lightly swear on their radio stations. Remember when their stars wore special jewelry to indicate their virginity? That was weird.

What’s even weirder is how many of their movies are pure nightmare fuel. Whether it’s a vague feeling of existential dread or actual death and dismemberment, it’s hard to remember that these things were intended for children, for God’s sake. That’s why user midnightyeti asked r/AskReddit, “What’s the most insane moment in any Disney movie?”
