Bambi – His mother died, who unlike my mother seemed nice, what a loss. And such a shame to perish in a fire like that, an especially painful, anquished way to go. He couldn't have my mother though. Not because I was too selfish to share but because I cared enough about Bambi to not be cruel enough to punish him with her as a gift.

Sleeping Beauty – Maleficent. There are lots of scary things for a very young child to be frightened of about Maleficent but of all of them it was her ability to turn herself into a fire breathing dragon and send great walls of fiery flame shooting up everywhere that freaked me out the most - No, I don't want to get chased by any dragons, especially not a fire breathing one. I'm already a fire sign, I don't need to be on fire. Being set on fire is for somebody else. Like who? I don't know maybe my sister could have it.

When I read this and thought back to the Disney movies, you're so right some of these were scary as hell for a child

Bambi - my mom took me to it, having no idea that Bambi's mom died. Apparently the damn fire wasn't scary enough. His mommy DIED. I was inconsolable. My mother was furious with Walt Disney.

Not sure of the very first one but I do remember that 1973 movie DONT BE AFRAID OF THE DARK. I watched it with my Mom. And I remember IT'S ALIVE about that baby, Rosemary's Baby, and I think it was called THE BABYSITTER?
