I don't remember getting freaked out by any movies when I was a kid. I might have been, I just don't remember. Bad things happening to animals have always upset me, but animal deaths like Charlotte and Old Yeller didn't upset me as much as people being mean to them, if that makes sense.

I still haven't watched Grand Budapest Hotel because someone throws a cat out a window apparently.

Tep, there was concern the evil Minions would be traumatic, since they're normally cute and loveable, when they attack the girls. At least that was some of the reviews of the movie I read raised. Obviously, didn't bother my son, so it might have been another over-reaction.

Ah. Huh, that didn't even occur to me.

Huh, that didn't even occur to me.

Seconded. I remember it as a lot of fun. With room for one, maybe two, more sequels before they run out of ideas.

My sister just sent me this sci fi dystopia? trailer with Robin Wright playing Robin Wright: [link] It's weird, but I'm all over it like white on rice.

Oh, you weren't joking about Robin Wright playing Robin Wright.

I have no idea what the fuck that movie is actually about, but it looks cool.

That does look amazing.

That looks fantastic. Also, what P-C said, though.

Like it seems like four different movies in one.

Yeah, Up and Toy Story 3 are off limits here unless I need a big cathartic ugly-cry.

Same here. And I would love to watch Up again, because it's brilliant! But I can't handle the opening 20 minutes.

Scenes that scared me as a child: the Wicked Witch of the East's feet curling and vanishing under Dorothy's farmhouse, and the Oompa Loompas from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. And all of Poltergeist, which I saw when I was 10 or so.

And every specifically-engineered cry point in an animated movie will get me. Every time. I know I'm being manipulated, it doesn't matter.
