The black cauldron

This was one of my favorites growing up but scared the shit out of me! It's about a boy named Taran who is on a journey to save his pet psychic piggy from the evil as fuck Horned King, who wants to find the evil black cauldron to kill everyone.

Don't want to go inside that thing! Or you dead.

Scary as fuuuck! The Horned King looking at his dead army.

They have risen!

He's mad.

Some evil shit.

The scariest villain.

Little Nemo

This one is about a little boy named Nemo who adventures in dreamland. He's a dope and lets out the evil monster then has to destroy it. This one probably gave me the most nightmares.

The door that Nemo opens that releases the evil! Touching the black smokish stuff will kill you!

He better run!

The evil Nightmare King!

That damn train! I had nightmares about being chased by an evil train after this.

Fantasia-the night on bald mountain scene.

It's about Chernabog, the giant evil demon who appears to be the only main character. At midnight, he awakens and summons evil spirits and restless souls to send them down to hell I assume. The art and music is terrifying.

The Devil Chernabog awakens!

Waking up the evils.

Seriously, all the ghosts are so scary!

Dancing fire ladies getting turned into demons.

Dancing in hell.

Ferngully

This one's about a fairy named Crysta who tries to save the forest and her fellow fairies from an evil demon named Hexxus who got free from his cage! This creepy ass tree is where he was trapped for years, but then humans cut it down and let him loose.

Hexxus getting stronger!

His full form! So creepy.

The Secret of Nihm

It's about a little mouse called Mrs. Brisby. She is in search for help to cure her son from Pneumonia.

The wise rat Nicodemus. He was a good guy but he was so scary looking. Look at those freaky hands!

Mrs. Brisby seeks help from the terrifying great owl. He's not nice.

Brutus

Brutus! The rat who tries to stab mrs. Brisby to death with that freaky spear!

Cat tax!


...not sure if my fixation for good horror movies is cuz of this stuff or what but i saw all but the last one when i was very young.

It's funny that Something Wicked This Way Comes is only PG, and was released under a Disney umbrella. That's way too hardcore for children.

I think if they gave it to the PG13 studio it might work. More on the 13 than the PG side

I also saw some of it recently. I remember it being a lot more impressive. Early CGI and effects from the 90s are lackluster today.
