There is no discussion that family films in the 1980s were built differently. Certainly, they seemed bright and backed from the outside with the amulet that children will fall in love with (looking at you in Voluke), but as soon as the movie begins, you will be shocked and have nightmares for weeks.

The most modern nature of family movies in the 1980s was partially due to the lack of PG-13 to classify until 1984. This appointment was invented in response to “friendly” films that were a pure nightmare fuel, from the imagination of a generation of film makers who wanted to pay a barrier and tell stories darker, from the children’s movie films.

Because of the scenes of violence, Indiana Jones And the temple of death and GremlinsAnd both were released in 1984, had a great role in creating a PG-13 rating. Caricatorial violence, above the palaces Gremlins The fans who were prepared, as did the man’s heart, caught up from his chest, but that was not a shock.

Dadish, definitely, but the type of images that remain with a good middle -aged child? Not at all, there are much worse examples of how Dark Kids gets, but when it comes to cartoons, this is a Don Bluth error.

Working work without pollution

former Disney Animation, left Bluth and developed his own films in the 1980s, including American tail and The secret of NimahAnd both have moments of dark pictures and danger. A house is dropped on a mouse at the end, and the steam mechanical mouse hunts them in the past, but both have nothing on All dogs go to heaven.

Issued in 1989, on the same day as Little Mermaidand All dogs go to heaven The truth was at least in advertising. To reach heaven, dogs must die and do.

The German Shepard runs with a car, goes to heaven because every dog ​​is good in nature, then returns to the ground with a pocket watch. At the height of the movie, Charlie should choose between the watch that gave him a second life on the ground and save an orphan girl. It is not a big choice. The watch stops, dies, once againAnd that’s all There is on the screen.

I have passed, and I still can’t watch this movie. My mother took me to see her in the theaters, and I enjoyed it because it is still a movie without pollution, but I can still see the car as it descends on the slope to Charlie, and panic on his face up to the hour under the water, and his nightmare from hell. The nightmare scenes were an essential element in children’s films even before that All dogs go to heavenFor some reason, two of the most unforgettable clowns included.

Peeeee sacrifice children on Satan

Big Pee-Wee adventure Not actually a children’s movie. It is incredibly sabotage, which is sarcastically sarcastically like a child. But yet Peee-Wee Playhouse He greatly hit her on TV, it was common to hear parents who hire the film for their children, and not a great Marj’s knowledge, or what is worse, the clown emergency room.

At one point, PEE-WEE has a nightmare whose bike is taken by clowns in an ambulance to the emergency room, but instead of saving it, they sacrifice it Satan. I bet you did not see the end of that sentence to come, right? This was what was the case in watching the movie as a child who expects the “word today”.

Small courageous roasted as well shock You can no longer watch it

Clown nightmares continued with Small courageous roasted, One of the best movies that you cannot broadcast today, when the toas are a nightmare around a clown firefighter. In a terrifying moment, the screen is filled with the clown face looking down to the roasted and says, “Running”.

A chase of a wave of water turns into thorns, the toas are left hanging to dear life over the bathtub when it falls into it. As an adult, he is a genius because these things that you will be afraid of electronic toas are, but when he was a terrifying child.

Unlawful killing from Artax Worse than I saw

Then there is this scene. The person you knew will be mentioned when I saw the title.

in The endless storyAtreyu in his endeavor to save the ground when his horse surrenders, artax, and drown in the swamp of sadness. Watching a horse loses his will to live and drown slowly in the swamp is the most miserable moment of a movie from a generation, but it was not as shocking like the scene from the novel.

In the book, artax can speak, which means drowning in the swamp of sadness, and asking atreyu to allow him to die. Terrible and shock like the scene in the movie. Imagine if we had to listen to a horse. Ask about the sweet release of death as the swamped water begins to enter its nose. The novel was released in 1979, so it is not technically in the 1980s, but even children’s books in the afternoon were designed to chase us for decades.

The worst thing in this shock in the eighties

This is far from everything; It is only a small sample of the shock type that the eighties are borne. Let’s not forget Transformers’ in killing the beloved characters from the TV series in the opening minutes of his movie, or Dark crystal.

For nearly one children’s movie, it was at least one moment since we were talking about it on the wizard sofa. The worst part of all this shock? These are our favorite films.
