The only one that really comes to mind is "Watership Down". All the blood and vilolence. But I really loved that movie.

Now.. I didn't think "Land Before Time" was too violent or anything. That's just what happened (as far as people can tell) back then. I thought the story of Littlefoot's journey was very bittersweet in a way. But.. If he hadn't lost his mom, chances are he would have never met up with Sara, Duky, Petery, and Spike. Then all those characters would probably have died. So what would be worse? The death of Littlefoot's mother? Or the death of four young innocent baby dinos?

One that did kind of make me sad(ish) was in "Sampson and Sally: Song of the Whales". Now this movie is for much younger children that LBT. The one part I really didn't like all to much was when Sampson and his friend Sally were swimming away from the humans (because they were after the whales for whatever reason people hunt them) and Sampson's mother keeps telling the two to not look back and all that. So they keep swiming and swiming and finally get away. Then Sampson looks back to tell his mom they made it and all that. But he doesn't see her and starts calling out "Mother" in the same way Bambi did. After a bit, you see some blood coming from the right side of the screen and he freaks out because (even at the young age he is) he knows his mother was shot. That was just.. really sad.

Another part in that movie that was kinda... disturbing.. was when Sampson went to meet with his friend (can't remember the name or anything, but it was an older really BIG whale). I think that there had been a oil spill and Sampson's friend didn't get away in time. So Sampson found him dead. That was just kinda disturbing to me. xD But remember, I was like... 4 when I watched this.

So there it is.. xD. I think I'll stop now since I typed a bit more than I had planned. XD

To be honest, I never cried or got upset when Bambi's mother died...until I saw the Spanish version of that scene (It was only months ago, it made me cry and I ran to my mom, and I was still 12 like I am now!). My gosh, in the Spanish version of that scene, Bambi sounded so sad and lost...I couldn't take it!

As for the "Burn 'em at stake." part in Peter Pan, I didn't know what it meant until I was like, 7, and I didn't really care about it then, either.

I'm always confused why people consider this movie aimed at a younger audience than Disney. For one, the violence and frightning scenes and secondly there's no songs. Seems more mature to me than most disney films.

Of course this doesn't extend to the sequels. Those (although fun) are trash which have sadly hurt the reputation of the original.

most disturbing shows that i know are;
One piece
Catdog
Ren and Stempy show
Invader zim
Bobobobob (boy, that's a mouthfull)

Recently, I was watching a clip from this Japanese film called "The Ringing Bell" and there was a snake and it, like, killed a mother bird with feathers flying around, and it was about to eat the eggs, and Chirin (main character; he's a sheep) fought the snake in attempt to save the eggs, but the nest fell on the ground and the eggs smashed. I found it disturbing.

I saw the beginning of that film...and it was perhaps the crappiest thing I've ever seen in my life. The only thing that disturbed me about it was that it was SO FAKE!!! I desperately wanted to KILL Chirin!!! He had the most AWFUL voice; and when he cried over his mother after she had died....I almost died, it was SO annoying!!! The boy who did his voice had the most fake voice I have EVER seen, and when he was crying...you literally could not get ANYTHING more fake then that! And yes, that was the American version. I'm PRAYING the Japanese version won't be as unbelievebly obnoxious or as fake...

As for 'disturbing' cartoons...South Park is EXTREMELY disturbing. Blood, insanely disgusting language, and VERY graphic sex/nudity...I'm not at all surprised that the 'Bigger, Longer & Un-Cut' film was a 15 I watched it when I was 13...which I still am XD

Ginga Densetsu Weed (my fave anime) is also pretty disturbing. Alot of swearing and cursing, and the fights are very bloody and graphic. And alot of scenes were very emotional and upsetting. To sum it all up...

**CONTAINS SERIOUS SPOILERS**

-- ALOT of fight scenes, with ALOT of blood and guts to go with it


-- Dogs getting their balls ripped off (NO JOKE) with alot of screaming and rolling about following


-- Alot of emotional deaths; like Blue getting hit by truck and Weed grieving, Weed's mother dying, Teru's father dying, John dying... ALOT of loud screaming and crying


-- LOTS of swearing and cursing

Crap...I wasn't meant to put anyone off. GDW really is an incredible Japanese series Ask rockyjet~ginga, ChocoKitten, Fosty etc. etc.

Ok, Invader Zim is NOT disturbing. But have you ever seen Salad Fingers? That cartoon is messed up!! I love it and Find it funny as heck but it is really messed up.
