Discussion on Twitter: films, TV series and cartoons that are better not to watch as a child (15 photos)

The age rating of films is something that everyone is used to neglecting. And for children, the mark “16+” and even more so “+18” is like an alluring light bulb for a moth. And in general, what so serious can happen if a child gets scared of something while watching such a film or cartoon? And often, this attitude of parents leads to the fact that their child will lose sleep for many months or even receive an imprint on the delicate psyche, which will make itself felt in the future. Let's take a classic example - "Dwellers of the Hills". At first it seems that this is a cute “a la Disney” cartoon of fluffy rabbits, and then the story smoothly turns... into a bloody thriller. We decided to discuss this topic on Twitter just now. Users recalled films, TV series and cartoons that greatly influenced them in childhood.

Hill Dwellers, 1987





A cartoon that is legendary. What at first seems like a cute cartoon about fluffy bunnies turns into a bloody thriller.

Spirited Away, 2001



The works of Hayamo Miyazaki are considered kind and wise fairy tales, but often contain scenes that are quite frightening for children. For example, like the frame above.

That's why I still can't watch this cartoon. As a child, I was so shocked by this scene that I turned it off and avoided it.

Coraline in Nightmareland, 2008





This cartoon was intended to be quite frightening, but it scared many young viewers too much.

The Neverending Story, 1984



The film itself is quite surreal, but the dog Falkor was especially frightening for young viewers.

Frankenweenie, 2012



Tim Burton's cartoon from the Disney studio was intended as a children's horror film, but apparently the creators went a little overboard.

Bridge to Terabithia, 2007



The ending of this dramatic film can bring not only an impressionable child, but also an adult to tears.

This movie just broke something inside me.

Monster House, 2006



This cartoon is distinguished not only by a creepy plot, but also by specific graphics, which is also creepy.

Requiem for a Dream, 2000



Suddenly, “Requiem for a Dream” appeared on this list. It’s not particularly clear how the Twitter user managed to watch it as a child, but (by his own admission) he shouldn’t have done it.

I remained depressed for 3 days after watching it.

Which way the wind blows, 1986



A cartoon with cute art and a very creepy meaning.

Princess Mononoke, 1997



And again the work of Gobli studio. “Princess Mononoke” is also notable for its bloody scenes.

The Dark Crystal, 1982



A puppet cartoon, a significant part of the puppets in which may seem quite creepy.

Red Fern Flower, 1974



Quite a dramatic story that will be difficult for some adults to watch, and even more so for children.

Matilda, 1996



People on Twitter found the film quite disturbing.

I still can't eat chocolate cake.

Edward Scissorhands, 1990



If Tim Burton had a hand in the film, then this picture will inevitably scare someone.

Twin Peaks, 1990-2017



Due to its surreal nature, this film evokes disturbing feelings in some adults, let alone children.
