    • Hunchback: That's going to go right over the heads of any kid that hasn't reached puberty yet. Frollo's also Disney's least suckiest villain. Massive shame his voice actor died. Who else could possibly do Megabyte if ReBoot gets a revival? HoND 2 was appropriate for kids & it sucked donkey balls.

      Speaking of ReBoot, season 4, which was also released as a double feature movie, is REALLY inappropriate for today's pansy-ass kids; that show matured with it's original audience.

      Gremlins: I loved horror movies as a kid, especially the silly sequel to Gremlins. I'm utterly desensitized to violence as an adult.

      ADGtH: You brought it up, but are you really going to use "jerk-ass dogs" as your sole reason for it being inappropriate? No mention about murder, gambling, extortion, kidnapping, or that Charlie was basically a bad guy himself?

      NES: Not seeing it, you just have a really really dirty mind, really. Though that part with the horse in the swamp had the same effect on children as Bambi's mom getting shot offscreen. Atreyu was also many a girl's first crush.

      The Toy: Not going to say anything about the KKK wizard & confederate flags & racist comments in the movie?

    • I dunno. When I saw Hunchback of Notre Dame when I was a child, I did not pick up on the fact Frollo was hot for Esmeralda. Neither did any of my friends or anyone who I've asked since. And if you as a child thought the Neverending Story was 'cool', why wouldn't other kids? Why would they pick up on apparent 'unappropriate' things when you yourself didn't? I don't think we should censor movies just because we eventually get to the age when we realise that things aren't as innocent as they seemed when we were ten. Children just see flashing lights and colours and talking animals and I think that anyone who says kids pick up on undertones is overestimating children's ability to actually give a shit. Btw, you really need to get some new jokes D:

    • I wouldn't say any of those were inappropriate, unless you have a dirty mind. Although thee hunchback not getting the chick is a bit messed up, and so was the Richard Pryor movie :/

    • Um, those movies are fairly in appropriate, I guess... But what about that abomination that was suppose to be a kids' movie: The Cat in the Hat with Mike Meyers??

    • Although your #1 pick seems legitimate, because it addresses the way the media can insert implicit racial roles to children, the rest not only go for the cheap laugh (All Dogs Go to Heaven is inappropriate for children because...it implies dogs go to Heaven?), the gay joke (seems right up there with all those stupid YouTube trailer recuts), or the sex joke (Disney deals with real emotions, including lust, by metaphors for children to deal with, but what does that matter when you can say 'bone'?).

    • I know this is a joke list and perhaps others have said Gremlins and The Toy were not kids movies. I will say though that a list of Bad/inappropriate kids movies that does not include the following movies is just plain wrong because all of these movies gave me the heebiejeebies (espeically the first 3).
      Return to Oz
      The Dark Crystal
      The Black Hole
      Dragonslayer

    • Personally I think that super sad movies can be extremely upsetting for small children. That's why I would definitely include "The Bridge to Terabithia" as one of the most inappropriate movies for kids that I've ever seen. It's just too sad for most children to handle. And unnecessarily morbid IMO.

      I would appreciate a warning on the back of kids' DVDs if the child/animal/pet in the film is going to die. Movies like "Ring of Bright Water" (dead otter), "Old Yeller" (dead dog) & My Dog Skip (another dead dog) really need to give fair warning to their young viewers before traumatizing them.

    • I also registered just to say how smug and obnoxious this woman is who obviously doesn't know squat about films but hopes to pass on sarcasm alone. Great, just what we needed - a shouting, haggier, real-life Juno.

      Thanks for convincing me never to watch your show.

    • I loved all of those movies as a kid. Still do.

      Your nuts, lady. Esp, the Falcore itch thing, have ever had a dog before?

      Wow, keep articles like this and current will be the old news for you. Fox news would love someone like you!

    • The videos selected are hysterical and I am going to bring them all up later with friends who have never heard of you Emily.

      The bits are funny and more than anything it is all short and to the point. I always laugh at the dead father in the chimney, doesn't it take a while for them to notice the smell of his corpse?

      And the luck dragon by nature is a colossal penis shaped house pet, the penetration and pedophile content is only appropriate to the form.

      The jerk dog thing was just dumb and poorly written but I guess four out of five ain't bad.

      And don't piss on The Toy again, Erica. You're not there yet

    • Ellen, you are an idiot. All of those "top fives" are classics and part of our history. Everyone nowadays is too whiny and "PC". Some of you are extremely oversensitive and need to realize that these are cartoons and not real life!

    • 1. Following her logic, any love song in a Disney movie, means that the characters wants to bone each other. This may be true if we view them as real adults, but they are cartoons and their love or lust is innocent. I do agree that it is kinda messed up that Quasi doesn't get the girl.

      2. Despite some marketing flaws and later merchandise aimed at kids, Gremlins was intended to be a horror/comedy, not a kids movie. I did watch it as a kid, but I also watched, Nightmare on Elm Street and Tremors. Just because parents let their kids watch it, and many kids liked it, doesnt make it appropriate to call Gremlins a kids movie.

      3. Well I agree that "All Dog go to Heaven" is bad theology, because if that were true, there would be such as place as heaven. I don't think this belongs on this list anymore than many fantasy children's movies that posits the existence of any sort of afterlife.

      4. So anytime there is a character with an affinity for children he is a pedophile? Obviously you have never petted a dog behind the ear. It is innocent!

      5. Never seen the Toy, so I can't comment.

      Anyway, here is a better list of inappropriate moments on kid's films: http://www.cracked.com/article/160_7-horrifying-moments-from-classic-kids-movies...

    • existentialist:

      You should actually watch Hunchback. "Hellfire" is not a love song, and its content is markedly different from even other villain songs. It's actually worse than the reviewer makes it out to be; Frollo (he's a judge in this version, not a priest) is singing about how he wants to have sex with Esmeralda, and also that if she won't sleep with him, he'll kill her. Yeah. Here's a youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRO-M4XyAbM

      I agree with your comment about All Dogs Go to Heaven, though. Bad theology =/= inappropriateness.

    • existentialist:

      I actually didn't mean to imply that "Hellfire" was a love song, but after listening to it again, and reading the lyrics, I actually think it is a love song, in a weird way. I was actually trying to point out, that the song does not directly say he wants to get physical with her and that it does not imply it anymore than many Disney songs do, with love songs being the biggest category.

      I also have to disagree with your interpretation of the song's meaning. I don't think he means "be mine" (in most liberal sense of the word, from innocent grade school crush to all out boning) or I will kill you, rather he means it is so audacious that he wants her to "be his" that he wants her to die so that he don't have to be tempted by her. I would not say the song was any more markedly different from other Disney villain songs than they all are from each other. You will have to explain that one to me.

      Anyway, the song was great, I had to watch it twice. I want to re-watch the whole movie now! Thanks for reintroducing it to me!

    • Thanks for the entertaining list, though I'd have liked to see Adventures in Babysitting make an appearance in place of, say, All Dogs Go to Heaven (come on, there's enough room for every pooch up there).

      Adventures in Babysitting gave my young and naive mind the impression that wild adventures are only a big city away. Men with hooks, karaoke jazz clubs, soft-hearted carjackers, subway gang wars, and killer frat parties. My later big city adventures consisted of parking tickets and derelicts with a lack of hygiene and respect for personal space. Also, Thor is nowhere to be found.

    • Oversensitive much? I scratch my dog behind the ear sometimes and she gets that look sometimes. People read sex into everything these days. Sheesh...

    • The Secret of NIMH... *shudder*

      Maybe I'd appreciate it as an older kid or even as an adult, but watching cartoon rats and mice stab each other, seeing murderous conspiracies, rodents with glowing eyes, profanity... my prudish five-year-old self hated it, was scarred by it, and doesn't think it ever should have been rated G.

      Won't be showing that one to my nephew anytime soon.

    • I did a report in high school about sexual inuendos in Disney Movies. If u watch and listen closely, u may find every post-bambi disney flick is completely inappropriate for kids. I even remember a part in Aladdin where the Genie says quetly in the background, "Good teenagers take off their clothes."

    • growdude420:

      It wasn't obvious because as a child you didn't read sex into everything. Now you're adult in a sex obsessed society that sees sex in the some of the most benign things. Get over it.

    • growdude420:

      It was actually Aladdin who was accused of saying "good teenagers take off your clothes." It is during the scene when he is on Jasmine's balcony and Raja is growling at him. He actually says "good tiger, take off your claws." After listening to it several times I am convinced it is innocent.
