Nostalgia!

secondlina I decided today to launch an elaborate meme. I know a few of you might know the nostalgia critic, some guy on the internet that likes to make videos about old cartoons and movies in an hilarious fashion. He is quite funny. Some of my favorite videos are his "Top 11" videos. So I decided to make my own nostalgic top 11, and I invite you all to do the same. In this meme, your top 11 nostalgia can be fairly recent, like remembering the 11 best moments of you favorite show after the last season passed last year. Or it can be really old, nostalgia critic style. The theme is yours to choose, but you must have images, text (and videos if you can) to show off the nostalgia.
So without further delay, here is my "TOP 11 FREAKIEST ANIMATED SEQUENCES THAT TERRIFIED ME AS A CHILD".
I can watch most of these nowadays. Kinda.
And why Top 11? Because I like to go one step beyond too.
NUMBER 11 - The Cemetery scene with the ghost of christmas future in Mickey's Christmas Carol.
"A Christmas Carol" is a classic christmas story about Scrooge bah-humbug-ing all over the holidays until 4 ghosts come along to terrify him into goodness. A lot of versions of this movie got made, thanks to the mostly non-existent copyright stopping nobody. My favorite versions of the tale were the muppet's version, the modern movie "Scrooged" and Mickey's version. Go figure, I need animation, toys or Bill Murray to get me to learn a christmas aesop. Oh well. In it's defence, the muppet version has one of the saddest "goodbye my love" songs of all time.
But back to the Mickey version. Scrooge was obviously played by Scrooge McDuck, whom is better known to me under his french name "Picsou" (contracted name meaning "Nickel taker"). And Mickey played his poor, but extremely kind worker, who deserves a Jesus award just for standing him.
Most of the movie follows pretty closely the story of the original book, and the ghosts's aren't especially scary. Except, of course, the last one. He isn't really scary at first, though being the representative of death, he does make you uneasy. And then that big jerk points Scrooge to his grave and for good measure, Deeath takes off his hood to reveal the face of a classic Mickey villain, but slightly scarred and zit-covered, lights a cigar and throws Scrooge into the grave before unleashing FLAMES FROM HELL that are about to swallow poor scrooge whole while he holds on to dear life on a twiggy root. Then, Scrooge falls in the flames to his... Bed? And is very thankful that he is not dead and that it's still christmas.
I put this scene low on the list because it's very short and well... More suprising then REALLY scary, and not even THAT suprising if you know the Scrooge story well. But this is probably the only version where Death actually takes off his hood, and that deserves extra scary points for that. The first time I saw it as a kid, it terrified me. But then, after watching it a few times, I found it cool.
Video HERE!
NUMBER 10 - The Wraiths in the Animated version of Lord of the Rings
Despite the fact that I was too young to understand LOTR, especially the animated version that was very confusing, I still got to watch it, because it was animated. And my parents loved fantasy. I gotta say, the Ringwraith? Freaky as hell. Especially so because every scene they appear in they are lucking, heavily breathing, killing machines. But the scene that probably takes the crown of "Moment that traumatized Isa" is when the hobbits huddle under a tree to escape the Ringwraith... And that fucker just floats around and you keep thinking "He knows they are there. He KNOWS. He's just toying with them!"
And then after breathing for a while, he leave. This scene actually convinced me that he was really just screwing with them, when to hide behind a tree and was gonna eat them later. I kept expecting his to jump out of a tree.
The segment is 10th on the list because the weird animation of the LOTR movie eventually made the Wraiths look non-scary. Shame really. But that scene was screwed up. Run hobbits, run!
NUMBER 9 - Jasmine getting buried in sand in Aladdin
Jafar is one creepy dude. I felt pretty sorry for Jasmine when this guy was trying to get it one with her. Then he gets mad and locks her into an hourglass slowly dumping sand on her that will eventually kill her. Sure, Aladdin saves her, and you know he will, but there is something about a heroic Disney princess facing a slow, horrific, smothering death that is pretty unsettling. Check it out in the video. Actually, the whole scene where Jafar tortures them with puns (and the result of his puns) was pretty scary as a kid. "So i'm a snake?" Indeed.
I just noticed Disney will come back on this list a lot. Go, Disney. You're as scary as you are heartwarming.
But damn Jasmine truly is very pretty as a slave. A lot of fanartists of all ages and genders agree with me. Sometimes they agree too much. Seeing sexy fanarts of Jasmine trapped in the hourglass just makes this scene creepier to me.
NUMBER 8 - Everybody dying at the end of Slayers Next
Okay. So I wasn't THAT young when I discovered anime. But Slayers was the first long series I actually fully watched. I could not STAND the dubbed version of Sailor Moon. It was also the first time I saw all the heroes die at once. I was used to Disney and animation for kids dammit, where everybody survives. Video!
The scene in itself is pretty freaky. I mean, it really looks like horrible, painful deaths. also, the fact that both Martina and Lina freak out (in their own way) adds to the whole general "Woah" of the scene. I mean, instead of being dignified deaths, these are messy, hopeless death. And the two final surviving characters don't know what to do. You can really feel the despair, especially when you watch it for the first time and you don't actually KNOW about the happy bubbly kiss that follows in the negaverse...
Also, I think this was my first "child" villain.
NUMBER 7 - The Harpie from the last unicorn
I grew up with Disney, and the first thing that Disney taught me is that even villains look cool in animation. Then suddenly, I watch the Last Unicorn movie to discover... Some ugly-ass freaky bird thing with boobs that terrifies a unicorn and EATS PEOPLE. This thing was scary enough to make me want to turn away from the movie for a few seconds.
The harpie was still kinda cool. Also being the last of it's kind, it was kinda the dark yang to the unicorn's yin. But holy crap, is it ugly and freaky. Good thing the unicorn is so pretty!
...Actually King Leer isn't much less ugly and freaky himself. Maybe they are related.
Must resist.... doing.... Nazi salute.... joke....
NUMBER 6 - Disney's Headless Horseman
If you have never seen this short film, by god, watch it on youtube. It's a great short film by Disney. It would always play on tv for Halloween and as a kid, I found this movie both mesmerizing and terrifying. The whole movie is a scary ride, starting off with villagers freaking out Ichabod Crane, the "hero" of the story. In the woods, Crane meets the Headless Horseman who is freaky because he has no head. But also because he is just SO DAMN GOOD at laughing evily. The scariest scene is probably the ending. Crane crosses a bridge. Villagers told him he would be safe if he crossed a bridge. So he pauses to see the Horsemen. and the Horsemen can't cross the bridge. Crane is currently thanking god for his existence when the Horsemen, well-bent on proving how badass he his, flings his prostetic head (a flaming pumpkin. Yes. With fire.) at Crane (and the screen) wile laughing evily. Brrrrrr.
Oh, Ichabod Crane was played by Depp in the equally freaky non-animated version of the film. He looks good as a neurotic doctor. Apparently too good to die like his animated counterpart. Poor, poor not attractive animated Crane.
NUMBER 5 - The Dead of Judge Doom at the end of Roger Rabbit.
I love Roger Rabbit. I love the idea of mixing "toons" with "noids" (humanoids). And I like the idea of all cartoons. This probably explains why I still like "Cool World" despite the fact that it's a horrible movie... And why i'm so excited about the upcoming ps3 Disney video game "Epic Mickey". (Trailer thing here.)
But Roger Rabbit also had a pretty horrible death scene at the end that really traumatized me as a child (and Link too, apparently). Now, how do you kill a half-cartoon, half-human villain? In the most horrible way of curse! And so melts the villain, gone the way of the witches of Oz. Though if you believe in karma, this shoe-melting son-of-a-drawing totally deserved it.
Still freaky though. Video!
NUMBER 4 - Melting Faces at the end of the first Indiana Jones
I'm kinda cheating. Indiana Jones was a movie with real people all the way. Except for that scene. It's the only "Animated" scene and boy does it ever count. This scene scared the crap out of me and made me dead afraid of radiations of any kind. I know a lot of people say that the villain getting older really quickly and turning to dust in Indiana Jones and the last crusade was scarier, but I was older when I watched that one, and it didn't scare me as much. I was on to Indie. I knew he killed his villains quite horribly. Also, in the case of the last crusade, it was only the villain dying in a relatively silent temple. In the Lost Arc, Everybody explodes, or melts and holy ghosts are around to cheer them on. This makes this much, much worse in my mind.
Video! (with NEW SCREAMS! apparently?)
NUMBER 3 - Scrooge's Mansion turning into a fortress of horror in the Ducktales movie : "Treasure of the Lost Lamp"
I love Ducktales. Probably because it actually got well translated to french when I was a kid. And Scrooge was just full of awesome. He was a greedy bastard with a heart of gold and a booty made of adventurous awesome, and he wasn't afraid of proving any of those things.
So naturally, when the movie was release, I went beserk.
There's this one scene in the movie where the villain takes over Scrooge's house and turns it into his personal kingdom thanks to the powers of a good and unwilling genie. Yeah, yeah, Jafar did it first. But this guy did it FREAKY. Jafar just moves the palace to a more vertiginous location. This guy gives the palace a FULL MAKEOVER that I would dub "Queer eye for the evil overlord guy". Scrooge is of course traumatized when his money (and the lives of his family) are threatened by the epic transformation. Check it out in this video. Epic transformation starts at 3:30 minutes in...
YES. It actually FLOATS. To Space. SPACE. And then Scrooge and the villain (turned into a griffon) have an epic tug-and-pull struggle. In Space.
Isn't it just weird, twisted and scary for the mind of a 10 year old?
NUMBER 2 - Beetlejuice as a snake and the exorcism of the Maintlands in "BeetleJuice"
Aaah, Tim Burton, where would I be today without you? This whole movie was a pretty freaky movie, but it's kindoff a slow, quiet kind of freaky. Then comes the ending, in witch our friendly ghost cute is being exorcised from their house (in a horrible and painful way) while Beetlejuice turns into a snake with a human head and proceeds to kick everybody and around and bullies a minor into a wedding. What's NOT to be traumatized about in this movie?
Like Indiana Jones, this is a bit of cheat, but damn, it that powerful stop-motion or what?
I seem to hate seeing my heroes die slow painful deaths.
Snake Video! and Heroes dying (again) Video!
And the final and scariest traumatizing segment from my youth is....
NUMBER 1 - Ursula's death in the little mermaid
I used to love water. My parents had a pool and it was awesome. Then at some point in time, I started hating water. And the idea of drowning. And sea monsters. When I player Mario 64 on Nintendo 64, I noticed Mario could drown. That I had this morbid obsession of trying to drown him at least one time per game. And you know that old engraving of a giant kraken taking a ship down you see in every monster book ever? Yeah, I hate that stupid engraving. It scares me, even today. And I hate most of the storm and Davy Jones scenes in Pirates of the Caribbean.
Heck, Ursula's death scene is still hard for me to watch today. First, the sea is going crazy and she has turned into a giant sea monster. THEN, as she tries to fry our heroin, she is impaled by a boat (graphically). And then, the turns electric and takes the boat down while the water boils and turns black. FREAKY. AS. HELL.
I do realise this is a more personal scare do to personal issues, but you gotta admit, as far as Disney deaths go, this one wins a horror award. And it gets top spot on this list on the grounds that it still makes me uneasy today.
Thank you Disney.
oh, right, video....
And that's all folks!

Date: 2010-01-29 06:01 am (UTC)It's very unsettling watching Jasmine trapped in an hourglass and nearly drowning in sand. Lulz, I'd say she's attractive no matter what she wears. XD!
Everyone dying in the end of Slayers Next, all at the hands of a child villain. D: D: D: Hellmaster is one of the scariest villains ever in the Slayers universe.
WTF? I don't remember those birds because I don't remember much of The Last Unicorn. But that is freaky, birds with breasts, and am I counting three of them? o_0;
Disney's Disney's Headless Horseman really brings back memories. I grew up watching that many times as a child. I didn't know the whole story back then so I was just scared and confused what happened to Crane at the very end. Unfortunately I never saw the live-action one with Johnny Depp.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit is one of the best movies ever. XD I felt bad for that poor little toon shoe that got dipped by Judge Doom. That scene definitely traumatized me. >_0
Didn't see the first Indiana Jones, but I am a HUGE fan of Ducktales and I love that movie so much. It is epic win and awesome.
Also I missed out on Beetlejuice (love the cartoon though). The way Ursula died was is brutal and it freaked me out, too. I used to be terrified of going out to sea because I believed there were actual sea monsters that preyed on ships. I don't have that fear anymore, thankfully.
Except I don't want to step inside a submarine because I'm still terrified of giant squids like in the old Disney movie 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. 0___0 Now they're making that Clash of the Titans film. Woo, let's see another giant kraken, except it's....on land?

Edit: OH, AND MORE SCARY. Did you recognize the voice of the haggard old woman the harpy kills in Last Unicorn? In the English version she was voiced by Angela Landsbury, Mrs. Potts herself... o_O

Date: 2010-01-29 12:35 pm (UTC)I think the scariest animated scene I saw was an animated version of the book Watership Down where the dogs begin rending the rabbits to pieces while a dead rabbit is talking to a seer rabbit to come with him before the dog snatches him up and shakes 0o (my mom didn't pay attention to the rating before popping it in the VCR and taking off! LOL!)

The harpy from TLU TOTALLY freaked me out too! Even though that is my ultra favorite movie when I was a kid.
The part of Roger Rabbit I still can't watch (and I even have to mute the TV) is where Doom melts that adorable little shoe in the Dip. DDD:

Date: 2010-02-01 11:16 pm (UTC)Good times, good times. Come to think of it, I guess it could be said Jasmine was using sex appeal to distract Jafar.

I'm still thinking about my list. It's hard to think back to what frightened me as a child, but so far you, Diane, and Earthstar_chan have named several that would go on mine. ^^;
