Bambi, it's always Bambi for me.

I Can't

"I sob like a ten-year-old girl."

rhcpgirl84

"I took my kid to see it. Big mistake. Of course when I was a kid, my dad thought Old Yeller would be a good movie to take 4-year-old me to."

Real Bad

"Where the Red Fern Grows."

Lolamess007

"Wilson Rawls spoke at my grade school. Yeah I am old, lol. He said the book was almost all true which is even scarier. I remember him saying the silver trophy for Annie was made up, but the really bad stuff was real."

"E.T."

BadDoctor666Satan666

"Duuude I first saw ET when I was like 5. I was totally fine with it up until ET was face down in the water, pale, dying. That's the part that freaked me out to the core and I couldn't watch it again for 6 years."

"This exact same thing happened to me! Apparently I was inconsolable and did not watch the movie again in years. So traumatic."

Banyazz

Freak house...

"Monster house scared me. LOL."

Tinktaylor143

"It made me sad for the poor lady that got turned into a freak house... she never deserved any of it. All she wanted was a happy, quiet life with her husband."

DannyZorua

"My friends and I decided to watch that last year for kicks because we heard it was weird, and although we're past the age where it would scare us, it was freaking weird. The whole time I was wondering whose idea it was to make that into a kid's movie... or to make it a movie at all."

REDDIT

Historic

"The fox and the hound."

fraoch13

"I watched the fox and the hound one time when I was a child, and I will never watch it again. My husband suggested it for a movie night with the kids one time. No, just no. I'm not doing that to my children."

Fionngirl14

"Don't shield them from amazing things. People need to experience sorrow and joy to grow. I saw the movie like a hundred times as a kid."

Nightmares

"The Witches with Anjelica Huston, that scared the crap out of me."

Accomplished-Teach10

"Came here to say this. Absolutely terrifying. I don’t think I ever recovered. I recently watched the new version and regretted it - I could still see Anjelica Huston and those messed up rats."

justvisiting112

"I loved that movie as a kid. I don't know why, but I was fascinated by the witches even though they were bad. My cousins were too scared to watch it with me so I had to watch it by myself."

Charlie

"'All Dogs go to Heaven.' The 'You can never come back' scene gave me nightmares."

cocoapuff1721

"Oh my God yes or the scene where they hit Charlie with the car or the one where the boss dog almost dropped his other dog into water with aggressive fish."

Tropilic

All these movies kill me. Never again.
