I know I've done a discussion about this once, but I just wanted to say something:
When I was younger my grandma owned several VHS tapes. It was mostly animated movies. Stuff like Disney's animated Atlantis and the first two Aladdin movies. Then there was 'All Dogs Go to Heaven'. As an innocent 4-year-old who loved animals, I thought this would be fun for the whole family. The first act of the movie shows a dog losing some kind of bet and getting run over by a car, where he goes to what I think is heaven and this poodle attempts to convince him to stay. 'All Dogs Go to Heaven', for those who are not aware, is a Don Bluth film. Don Bluth is a famous animator responsible for another subject of my younger self's nightmares: 'The Secret of Nimh' and worked on one of the most gut-wrenchingly difficult arcade games known to man, Dragon's Lair.
Anyone else experienced a similar situation in their childhood?

Ferngully always scared the crap out of me. One time in second grade we had to watch it as a class, I had seen it before was terrified to see it in class. So I convinced the teacher to let me run around school doing chores instead of watching it. That was a fun day, I got to walk around by myself doing random helpful things instead of watching the movie.

The Scooby Doo direct-to-box TV shows with all of the guest stars like the Harlem Globetrotters, Three Stooges, and Dick Van Dyke scared the pants off of my six-year-old self, primarily the one set in the ghost town with the Native American man doing the war dance. The screaming and flashing lights weren't good to my poor senses…
