At some point in their life, everyone has watched a Disney movie. Disney has become a household name and their cartoons are typically considered family-friendly. Many adults grew up watching these movies as a child and have now shared these movies with their children.

Of course, not all Disney cartoons are great for all children. Several of these movies, such as Brother Bear, Princess and the Frog, Aladdin, and The Jungle Book have multiple depictions of violence or several terrifying scenes. And while one will likely remember that Aladdin contains several haunting scenes in the Cave of Wonders, there are other movies that contain scary moments that are forgotten. Check out these 10 scary moments in otherwise family-friendly movies.

10 Sleeping Beauty: The Spindle

Sleeping Beauty contains many beautiful scenes in which Aurora sings and prances around the forest with her animal friends. Aurora’s fairy friends and Prince Phillip’s horse Samson add some much-needed humor to the movie, but this movie isn’t all carefree beauty.

While scenes with Maleficent may make children jump, the true horror occurs when Aurora is drawn towards the spindle. Suddenly, the princess appears to be in a trance and follows an ominous green glow. As she reaches out to touch the sharp spindle, a creepy voice-over cackles “touch the spindle!” and Maleficent appears standing over Aurora’s unconscious body.

9 Pocahontas: Kocoum’s Death

Pocahontas contains stunning visuals, in part because many of the studio’s top animators worked on the film. There are many beautiful and tranquil scenes of nature, but this movie also contains one of the most terrifying death scenes in all of Disney history.

As Pocahontas and John Smith share a kiss, Thomas and Kocoum peak through the trees. Thomas has his gun drawn and Kocoum runs out, bludgeoning John. When Smith successfully pushes him off, Kocoum pulls out a knife and runs at him again. As they wrestle, Kocoum continues trying to stab Smith before Thomas shoots him.

8 The Little Mermaid: Ursula’s Cave

While The Little Mermaid’s Ursula may not be one of the most despicable villains, her song “Poor Unfortunate Souls” may terrorize children. While her creepy tentacles are enough to make children squirm, the real horrors live inside her cave.

As Ursula sings, shots of small brown emaciated souls trembling in fear are shown hiding. The creepy crave is dark and these are different flashes of ominous lighting. At one point, Ursula even pulls a severed tongue out of her cauldron!

7 Finding Nemo: Bruce Smells Blood

Finding Nemo is one of Disney/Pixar’s funniest films. Of course, when adventuring across the ocean one is bound to encounter some problems. When Marlin and Dory meet a friendly shark named Bruce, things go better than they expected; at least, until Dory gets injured and Bruce smells her blood.

Bruce begins trying to eat Dory as his shark friends hold him back. A dramatic chase scene through tunnels and pipes ensues. Bruce aggressively bashes his head repeatedly against the wall during the chase, even referencing the horror movie The Shining by saying “Here’s Brucey!” This chase ends with an explosion after old sea mines are activated. Shortly after this scene, Marlin and Dory encounter another terrifying creature, the anglerfish.

6 Beauty And The Beast: Beast/Gaston Fight

One of the most dastardly villains in all of Disney exists in Beauty and the Beast’s Gaston. This movie concludes with an epic battle between Gaston and the Beast, as they fight on top of a building in the pouring rain. As thunder and lightning strike, the two try to get the upper hand on each other.

After several near falls, the Beast gets the upper hand on Gaston but decides to let him go. It seems like the battle is over and the Beast and Belle begin to embrace, but then Gaston takes advantage of the moment to stab Beast in the back with his dagger before plummeting to his death.

5 Tangled: Flynn V.S. Mother Gothel

Tangled features the unconventional hero Flynn Rider. When Rapunzel is taken back to her tower by Mother Gothel, Flynn decides to rescue her. He scales the tower wall only to find Rapunzel terrified, bound by chains, and gagged. He is immediately stabbed from behind and falls over.

It is evident there has been a horrible fight as a shattered mirror is visible in the background. As Mother Gothel drags Rapunzel by the chains, she convinces Gothel to let her heal Flynn. Rider takes advantage of this opportunity to cut Rapunzel’s hair, which turns black. What happens next is truly frightening, especially with the high-quality effects in this animation. Mother Gothel begins to turn grey. She looks into the fragmented mirror, with her horrifying image being multiplied. She then begins to disintegrate and falls out of the window.

4 Toy Story 4: The Dummies

Many people find antique dolls and ventriloquist dummies spooky. Toy Story 4 used this to its advantage when Pixar introduced the antagonist Gabby Gabby and her minions. Unsettling music plays as these dummies push Gabby Gabby around the dusty antique store.

The movie even makes a joke about how terrifying these characters are when a woman peaks into a stroller and finds one of the dummies inside, which results in her running away and screaming.

3 Moana: Te Kā

When Te Fiti’s heart is stolen, she transforms into the alarming Te Kā. While the movie Moana is mostly light-hearted and peaceful, the scene in which Moana returns Te Fiti’s heart is anything but.

As Moana approaches Te Kā, lightning crashes in the background. The volcano-esque character crawls towards Moana as a distressed screaming sound escapes her mouth. Smoke and lava pour over the screen as Moana calmly approaches Te Kā. Right before Moana returns her heart, there is a close up on her black cracked face. Luckily, Moana returns her heart and she transforms back into the beautiful Te Fiti.

2 Toy Story 3: The Incinerator

The incinerator scene in Toy Story 3 is the darkest scene in the entire franchise. The toys are facing impending doom as they head towards a fiery death on a conveyor belt. They turn around and attempt to run but they can’t outpace the belt.

When Lotso notices a stop button, it seems as though he is going to switch off the mechanism. After receiving a boost from the toys, Lotso decides to abandon them instead. They fall into a pile of junk and seem to accept their fate, joining hands and waiting to die together. Luckily, they are rescued by their alien friends and the claw.

1 The Lion King: Mufasa’s Death

This scene is so anxiety-inducing that it feels much longer than it actually is. Scar hatches a ploy to take the thrown by eliminating Mufasa and Simba with one stampede. Simba runs, nearly getting trampled before hanging onto a branch and shaking with fear.

When Mufasa attempts to save Simba, he is knocked over and Simba goes flying. Simba is knocked to the floor and picked up by Mufasa several times before being safely placed off to the side. As Mufasa begins to scale the wall and climb to safety, Scar digs his sharp nails into his paws. The pain and terror on Mufasa’s face are palpable as he scrambles to maintain his balance before falling to his death.
