Coraline (2009)
Coraline warps everything good about childhood.
The movie "Coraline" contains content that warps everything good about childhood. The opening credits display a disturbing scene where a doll is disassembled; button eyes taken off and mouth ripped open at the seams. This is foretelling of the creepy nature of this young girl's experience throughout the movie. Coraline's parents uproot her and move to a strange new town. Her parents also ignore her and there is only one other kid her age in the neighborhood, who she is NOT a fan of. This lonely young girl then is harassed by "new parents" who want her to stay and sew buttons on her eyes! Normal? I think not. Not only is she in danger, but she is haunted by the spirits of other children who have been captured by these "new parents" of hers. This 2009 stop- motion animated film received a PG rating and could be considered quite terrifying and disturbing, not only to young audiences, but all ages.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)
Questionable content for young viewers
While this classic animated film has many innocent elements it also contains material that could be considered questionable for some audiences. For example, Snow White's evil Stepmother plots her death and nearly succeeds. Not only has this young girl had to experience the death of both parents, but she is now hated by her only living "family member". As part of the queen's plan, the huntsman comes at her in the forest with a shining dagger and luckily lets her escape, revealing the queen's evil plot. Within the first five minutes of the film the young audience already has reason to be fearful. After her escape she is lost and all alone in a dark forest to fend for her life. When the queen uses evil spells to transform herself into a grotesque old woman the animation could be considered quite frightening for young audiences.
