After reading the Plot keywords of lots of movies deemed disturbing, I noticed that some were G,PG,or PG-13 movies. The inclusion of The Secret of NIMH kind of suprised me considering I never found that movie particulary disturbing. Anyway, what movies do you feel rated G,PG or PG-13 could be interpreted as disturbing?

Willy Wonka.

Agree 100%

Hmm... how long till someone mentions Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom?

Dark Crystal....scariest movie ever.

The neverending Story

Birth of a Nation

as a kid I thought this was very distressing not knowing what happened to the kids, in the book and remake, they're okay, just albeit not 100%, in this version, their outcome was very ambiguous - the water and fan tunnel sequences were freaky as hell.

It's probably only reasonable to include movies released since the rating system began (or for that matter, movies that were actually submitted for ratings).

Babe: Pig in the City

This is rated G. But if you like animals, there's several traumatic events, including:

When I saw a film, there was a little girl (age 6 or so) who was screaming and crying over the various goings-on. Why her parents didn't take her out is beyond me.

Jaws

Poltergeist.

Grave of the Fireflies

I thought the American remake of The Ring was surprisingly effective & disturbing for a PG-13 horror movie. Especially in hindsight now that the flood of subsequent PG-13 horror movies has attached a stigma to that particular genre/rating pair.

I guess I should also add The Dark Knight to the list.

"I'm going to make this pencil disappear..."

Definitely agreed on The Ring and The Dark Knight. How about "1408?"

Meh, you can't account for every possible reaction. When I saw Superman III in the theater, some little boy was freaking out during the Evil Superman fight sequence. "Why is Superman hurting him?! Whaaaaa!".

I suppose that, psychologically, it's better that they see the scene through to the inevitable redemption payoff rather than yanking them out and letting them only see the bad part.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space

Normally, this would make sense, but at the end of Babe 2, Babe is and eaten.

Spoiler tags, Groucho!

The Grudge (1 & 2)

Done! (sorry)

In the alternate ending to this post, that little girl WAS ACTUALLY YOUR DAUGHTER ALL ALONG AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE IT!
