Ok, let me explain.

We all must have certain movies that something just happened in a particular scene of the movie (or kept happening) that makes you turn off the movie and watch it later.. let's list those movies and explain why:


Sleeping Beauty: When the movie reaches the scene with the kings... I loose the whole interest on the movie and start fallin asleep.

Hercules: once I was going to make a play based on this... so for reference I watched the movie almost 20 times straight... Nothing else to say that I can't almost put the disc on the player... but particularly the scene "Zero to Hero" makes me just want to turn it off.


Treasure Planet and Atlantis: I particularly love TP and like to show off my home theater... but for some strange reason, since these movies have so loud action scenes from the very beginning it takes time for me to decide on watch them.

The Great Mouse Detective: After the Toby appearance... the movie just bores me.

Traumatized seems so strong a word!

Anyway, here's a few of mine...

Back in 2001 when Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was our only DVD, Kram would watch it endlessly. In every language on the disc. So for awhile, I knew the movie in English, Spanish, etc. And Snow White's voice in general makes my teeth grind, so it's not a favorite of mine.

I can't get through The Lion King without taking a break. I never like watching the movie in its entirety, otherwise I get fidgety. If I ever watch the movie, which is rare because I don't enjoy it, I have to take breaks and do something else.

Not an animated classic, but in the very first Sing-Along-Songs VHS, "Heigh-Ho", Kram and I would run away at the Pirates of the Caribbean sequence, and come back just in time when it ended.

i just bought Toy Story 10 anniversary edition the other day and i've attempted to watch it twice sence and i've fallen asleep both times... i can't figure out why, lol

i still havn't been able to watch Mary Poppins the whole way through yet either and i got that the day it came out.

i think that i've seen Aladdin and The Lion King so many times in the past year that i can't really sit through them either anymore. that's really sad

The Lion King: I tried to watch it a little while back and was enjoying it until the scene in the Elephant graveyard, which bored me. I do like the movie, yet I think that "love" would be too high a feeling.

Treasure Planet: I just found this uninteresting. I remember at the time I watched it, I was helping my mother prepare the house for a visit from relatives, and I was perfectly fine to pause it from time to time.

Pete's Dragon: When I watched this again last year, I had enough of it during the middle of it, as the film was really cheesy and I began to fall asleep.

The only Disney movie that I can't stand is "Fun and Fancy Free". I don't like "Beauty & The Beast" when Angela Lansbury sings, "Home On The Range" or "The Jungle Book."

(Still waitin' for Song of the South....)

For me Atlantis was never exciting at all. Milo just wanders around too much for my liking. Yes he does find what he was after but it just seemed to take forever to work.

Sleeping Beauty was boring for me. I stopped watching when the prince was captured.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame scared me when I was a kid. The part when Quasimodo was tied up and tortured made me turn off the VCR.

Sleeping Beauty: When Malefacent turns into the Dragon

Snow White: when the 7 dwarfs are "figthing" the Wicked Queen.

Bambi: When Bambi's mom dies.

When I was a kid, The Great Mouse Detective was a bit scary for me. The bat, Fidget, made me really scared, because I believe he is the only Disney Character to be drawn with such a frightening nature to him. The opening scene always made me scared. And the scene in the toy warehouse.

Let's just count the 44 animated classics and Pixar and not those lame DTVS!

Alice In Wonderland: The "Golden Afternoon" and the "Very Good Advice" seqences just bore me! I felt like I have to leave when watching these bad songs, but I managed through them, somehow.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame : I had to fast-forward God Help the Outcast! It was probably the only scene in a Disney movie that bored me so much that I never even bothered to watch it.

Finding Nemo: Doesn't it get tiring to hear Dory say her 100th memory lost joke!?!? I just wanted her to make a new joke for a change! What am I talking about again! I bet when you read that you almost died from laughing!

Melody Time: There was one section(I can't think of it at the moment) that just bored me!

Oliver and Company: A Disney movie with cats and dogs, where have I seen that before!

The Aristocats: Very slowly paced at times! Like when those geese come in the movie, they just make me want to shout, "GET ON WITH THE STORY!!!"

Pocahontas: The villian song were cool to hear, and Meeko and Fint are cool characters, but all the other scenes don't get me interested at all that much.

The Sword in the Stone: Would've been a good movie, if it didn't have such a bad soundtrack.

The Rescures: When the opening song, "Rescue Me" came on, I thought this was going to be a bad film! But it ended up to be really enjoyable!

Wow that's alot of movies that I picked! I know quite a few UD members who'd get upset after reading this!

I had to fast-forward God Help the Outcast! It was probably the only scene in a Disney movie that bored me so much that I never even bothered to watch it.

I don't see how that bored you, but okay...

Probably the only Disney movie that I've wanted to stop viewing is Brother Bear. I despise that movie with all its corny jokes and sappy scenes.

Besides DTV sequels, movies that I couldn't wait to finish were:

Alice in Wonderland
The Aristocats
Mary Poppins
Finding Nemo

When I was little, I always got sad when the animated part of Mary Poppins ended. I didn't feel like watching the movie afterward. Also, I didn't like the "Feed the Birds" part (except for when the snow globe merges into the "real" cathedral). I used to think it was boring and the little old bird woman, who shouldn't be scary in any way, somewhat frightened me. Though now that I now the true meaning of the lyrics and the soothing melody, I enjoy this part much more.

Even though Peter Pan is one of my favorites, I would get restless when Peter and Wendy follow Hook, Smee, and Tiger Lily in skull rock. I think once I paused it, but never finished watching.

There are other movies in which you reach a certain point and get fidgetity. I think its because you've been sitting for so long. Though this has never traumatized me. If you're talking about traumitizing parts of Disney movies:
~ the witch of Snow White (Have a bite?!? It's not for you!!! It's for Snow White!!!...Thirsty?!? Have a drink!!!) Well of course, now I just think she's hilarious!

I always cringe in Toy Story when they are in Sid's room and all of the toys come out and that doll's head on that spider type thing.

I would never say I was traumatized by a Disney flick. But when Cruella DeVil is in the "final" car chase after the truck & u see a zoom in on her face & she looks all psycho & stuff (her eyes are all swirly), yeah that one face scared me as a kid the 1st time I saw it.
Also when I was younger, Honey I Shrunk the Kids when Anty gets killed by the scorpion was hard for me to watch as a kid too.

you have very different tastes then mine.

I turned off Treasure Planet about 10 minutes into it. It was terrible! Other than that, I really enjoy the Disney movies.

I have problems paying attention to The Aristocats, The Sword in the Stone, Treasure Planet, and Home on the Range. I don't know what it is about them that makes me lose interest. I usually put them in my dvd player for background noise while I'm doing something else.

I found Oliver & Co kinda boring, form now I've never watched the whole movie
maybe i will this week...
