Description
Remember when we were kids? We had seriouslyscary stuff to haunt us at night. Nowadays, the
scariest stuff kids have is Justin Bieber, High School
Musical, and Twilight. Lol.
In all seriousness, though. On the left, we have the
Wave and Giant Mouse of Minsk from An American
Tail, and on the right; the reaper dog thing and Hell
Hound from All Dogs go to Heaven.
While I admit, the five-year-old me found Land Before
Time's Sharp Tooth to be scary, he was nothing next
to these horrors.
I gotta admit, concerning the infamous ADGTH scene;
Don Bluth had serious balls putting such a vividly intense
dipiction of hell in a kid's film.

If you ask me, we need more kid's films like these. Deep down, children love things that go bump in the night! Happy, bouncy shows are great for kids, but they need a little sugar and spice mixed together sometimes. Mr. Don Bluth might have a twisted imagination, but most artists do! We need some great monsters and villains to balance out the gentle heroes!Β

I can actually believe this. I have to little cousins who are big fans of Five Nights at Freddy's. One of them finds the animatronics to be adorable (even the nightmare ones which were made to look scary).

I was 5 when I called the wave demon "batman". Let's face it, on a low definition T.V it did. Almost 20 years later, it's worth a laugh.
Don Bluth could really creep me out with these beasts

Yeah... I can see how someone could mistake a low-def image of it for Batman. Doesn't make it any less creepy, though.

A god of such wander and terror in our childhoods, I wonder if he could make Godzilla more terrifying.
π: 0 β©: 0
Yeah. Apparently, the way he sees it, kids can cope with anything as long as there's a happy ending. Which is why there's a buncha Nightmare Fuel and Tear Jerkers in all his work.

Don Bluth and Brian Jaques are brilliant in their fields because they made stories for children, but they refused to sugarcoat things like characters dying andΒ how evil people/animals can get.
I don't remember these creatures, but the villain in Ferngully REALLY freaked me out as a kid and still gives me the heebie jeebies as an adult.

I like the dark parts that Don Bluth put in his movies even though they scare me as a kid. Anyway good one.

Β Β That's the reason I like Don Bluth, at the heart of all fuckyhood, of all the terrifying, nightmarish scenarios, his movies do retain its fair share of charm. He is one of the few people who mastered the delicate balance between charming and disturbing, another being Shigasato Itoi, the creator of EarthBound. Fail to understand that balance, and you get something several times more disturbing than you intended. Happy Tree Friends, I'm looking at you.
Β Β In short, Bluth is one of my all-time favorite filmmakers, and he is truly one of a kind.

Ah classics XD they knew how to terrify us and amaze us! Don Bluth and Walt Disney- two beings who knew how to create some scary as hell shit!
π: 0 β©: 0
Well Don Bluth did indeed have the habit of making scary stuff like this, but he also had a philosophy that 'kids can handle stuff like this as long as a happy ending is attached'.

They also have unhappy endings.

Yeah, the giant mouse of minsk did scare me crapless when I saw American Tail as a child, good god, I know I seem to be going miles away here but imagine that in Five Night's at Freddy's?

Dude! That game is scary enough with the third one and some of the nightmare fuel Bonnie does in the first one! Put the Mouse of Minsk in there and its the Exorcist all over again!!!

Probably not

Love the idea tho XD man Springtrap and MoM would be a seriously scary duo! XD

I always enjoyed the fact the Don Bluth was so willing to put such dark visuals in kids' movies. Now there are too many people walking on eggshells trying to avoid upsetting the censors. I say we need more stuff like this.

In my opinion, I think that the Giant Mouse of Minsk is what scares the audience the most.

I wonder if that would've been beneficial enough to encourage children to be as brave as lions in order to handle the harshness of reality that they're currently facing while going through a quarter life crisis. Ironically, the studio that distributed The Secret of NIMH and All Dogs Go To Heaven happen to have a lion as its mascot!

Bottom left is the wave from An American Tail and bottom right is the Hell Hound from All Dogs go to Heaven.

oh yeah, and Dragon (cat from nimh) was the only dragon I've never liked coincidentally.
π: 0 β©: 0
keep in mind, in Secret of Nimh he shows blood and people(rats) getting stabbed. In Titan A. E. people got their necks snapped, there was a naked person (barely covered/blocked from view) people getting vaporized and blown up. In ADGTH the scariest part for me was... not really at all actually. In Anastasia we saw Rasputin as a skeleton, a rotting corpse, his skin liquefying and his bones turning into dust, and little demons and one big one.
Disney also had more balls back then too. We got characters being eaten by cats in the great mouse detective and a rat viciously attacking a mouse with intent to kill (which was actually pretty freakin awesome). In the Black Cauldron we got the horned king who threatened to kill someone every scene (and actually said kill) and who ran around strangling his lackey. In oliver and company we had sykes being hit by a train and saw it. in mulan we had blood, people getting stabbed and the bad guy literally getting blown up. in Hercules hades strangled pain and panic and blew up every time he got mad. James and the Giant peach had talking, life-sized bugs, a metallic shark who tried to eat them, and a giant peach that almost squished people. Disney also did nightmare before Christmas and we all know how messed up that is (and by messed up I mean FREAKIN AWESOME). Hocus Pocus had witches killing children by literally sucking the life out of them, a zombie who said, and I quote, "Go to Hell, BITCH!", and a cat who literally got run over by a car and 2 seconds later inflated and was back to normal. Beauty and the beast had wolves trying to eat beast, beast's angry face, gaston stabbing beast, and we see it happen, and when gaston's falling to his death there are skulls in his eyes. in the little mermaid Ursula got, literally stabbed and run through with a boat. In tarzan, he, and kerchak get shot, and clayton get's hanged and we see his body swayin in the breeze. Bedknobs and broomsticks had a freakin bomb in the front yard and a cartoon lion who went around threatning to eat people, oh and a gang type guy who whipped out A GUN! 101 Dalmatians had cruella deville, a.k.a. "Cruel Devil" who looked EVILE while driving to kill puppies. Sleeping beauty had maleficent saying Hell, ya know "Now you'll have to deal with me, and all the powers of HELL!" old yeller got shot and died. Peter Pan, captain hook tried to kill peter and tick-tock-croc tried to eat him constantly. Hook wasn't any better, croc's stuffed, hook kidnapps peter's kids, hook kills rufio. pinochio had creepy commin out the wazoo. Snow white had... well creepy coming out of everywhere. and to top the list, the original cast, Mickey, Goofy, and Donald often got squashed, squished, smacked, slapped, hit with anvils, thrown off/walked off buildings and a whole lot more. All these were prior to the year 2000, so apparently, the new millennium stole Disney's backbone. however, tangled did show some pretty realistic blood....

It's good to see I'm not the only one who had similar thoughts! I believe animations have gone from realistic and somewhat frightening to just plain weird. It's like ren and stimpy without the gore. And there are no real 'life lessons' or good stories anymore. Same with live action though. Sad times for the film industry imo.

See, this is why I like anime.Β They still have the nerve to show blood and other things that are usually taboo inΒ "cartoons".Β Granted, they take things a little too far from time to time and they go overboard a lot.Β And it's rare that we have a t.v. show that goes the extra mile with it too, which is one of the reasons I like Gravity Falls.Β I know that no one really ever get's seriously injured or killed, but Bill Cypher is creepy as hell and they've had zombies, dinosaurs, and a whole bunch of other monsters that would scare the crap out of me if I saw them in real life.Β And Old Man McGucket is freaky as fuck.
