16 Dark Scenes From Kids' Films That Ended Up Being Deleted

We saw the aftermath of the Huns' attack in the movie, but in this scene, Shan Yu destroys the village, and even kills one of his own henchmen. It's pretty dark...

In this original storyboard, Woody's not the cowboy we know and love — he attacks Buzz and then insults Slinky.

This bizarre scene has never seen the light of day, but it's pretty creepy when you notice that Elliott's mum is naked...

In one deleted scene, everyone's favourite snow queen takes an evil turn and tortures two guards.

In the version that was released, Peggy seems to disappear without a trace, but this deleted scene reveals her unlucky fate.

Disney wisely decided to cut this dark scene where Lilo and Pudge are viciously attacked by seagulls while Stitch just watches on, laughing. Lilo then buries her pet next to her parents' graves – it's very bleak for a kid's movie.

After the curse has been lifted, a traumatised Monsieur Toilet tells Lefou that the first thing he’s going to do is brush his teeth – pretty gross when you think about it.

Fish clearly got a bad deal in the original Disney movies, but I'm glad they realised that eating pets is a step too far.

We don't see much of the aftermath of Mrs Doubtfire's identity being revealed, but these deleted scenes are very sombre compared to the rest of the film.

In this scene, Scar tells Nala that she must be his queen, saying: "you know, you really have no choice. I always get what I want," before singing a really creepy version of "Be Prepared".

Eddie has a giant cartoon pig’s head, which seems innocent enough, but he ends up washing it down the shower drain in a scene that wouldn’t feel out of place in a horror movie.

In these scenes, the animals are presented with Tame Collars that shock them every time they act "wild." The whole film is packed with social commentary, but this was considered too dark for the final cut.

In the original cut of the film, Arthur Hoggett's screams could be heard as he fell down the well, and the director originally planned to kill him off in this scene.

You're probably thinking that Bambi was pretty sad already, but the original storyboards showed the actual moment that Bambi's mum was shot dead. Thankfully it was ultimately deemed too violent to include.

This scene isn't the darkest, but it's definitely weird, so it's pretty clear to see why it was cut.

There were quite a few scary scenes left out of the final cut of Cars, but Lightning being surrounded by dead cars is probably the darkest of them all.

I can’t tell you why this disturbing scene was included in the movie in the first place, but its not hard to see why it was left out of most international versions of the film.
