Well, truth be told.. I always get teary-eyed when I see Dracula getting "staked" by Edward Van Sloan and thatis only second to how badly I feel when I see Boris Karloff running around trying to escape the burning windmill before it collapses to the ground

I have the little golden book at home and my daughter wont open it.


My Father, saw it as a kid, and he said to this day its the most 
disturbing movie expereince he had.



Forget CANNIBAL APOCALYPSE, try Old Yella.


And I saw Disney on TV as The Wonderful World of Disney

You're quite wrong.  The show was originally titled DISNEYLAND and 
aired on ABC-TV on

sunday evenings.


Later, in the U.S., the Disney show was changed to THE WONDERFUL 
WORLD OF COLOR and
it aired on NBC, the network that was really pre-eminent in color 
telecasting.



The story of the relationship between the program Disneyland, ABC 
Television, and the construction
of the theme park Disneyland (in Anaheim) has been extensively 
reported in several Disney

biographies.

to be corrected here,,, the show was called THE WONDERFUL WORLD 
OF DISNEY, not DISNEYLAND. unless there was some off the cuff 
show that disney sent to australia called DISNEYLAND.  i think 
that show was actually called SYDNEYLAND.  appropriate, i think. :)

Interesting out of that list, Rich, that OLD YELLER which we can 
add to it, was the only one I saw as a young child.



All the others I saw either in late teens or even later for the 
first time. We also used to see them carved up in 
chunks/sequences on DISNEYLAND in the early 60s. Periodically, I 
get the impression that export version of DISNEYLAND was quite 
different to the US domestic one. There seemed uncanny tie-ins 
to "specials" that coincided with local Australian releases of 
new Disney product.

I think if you look at lots of Disney films, they have some 
overtly violent contexts



Snow White: the Witch terrified children at the time and I have 
2 cousins who to this day have not seen the film since they were 
little girls and refused to let their children watch it when 
they were youngsters



Bambi: the forest fire & a number of other scenes create wailing 
children everytime it is screened


Peter Pan: death & destruction


Pinochio: oh c'mon, being swallowed by the whale in that 
terrifying scene makes kids doody their pants.


and those are just some samples.

Maybe Unka Walt really hated children?


I'm sure audience testing went on back then for studio releases 
specifically WDPs, and while OY is a "classic childrens film" 
you would think that audience test responses would have 
indicated that it was potentially a tad too traumatic for 
younger kids, especially those with a mutt at home.



So either Walt was cackling with glee up the back of the 
previews as the tots were reduced to wailing and sobbing, or 
thinking WELL, IT'S GOOD FOR CHILDREN TO "LEARN ABOUT 
LOSS"..... AND PAY ME TO DO SO.



Or as another well-known producer said privately in more recent 
years, THERE'S A KID OUT THERE IN THE VALLEY WITH A DOLLAR IN 
HIS POCKET, AND I WANT IT.

About 2 years ago, I finally put Old Yeller on t.v. I had been 
telling my children about it for so many years and my now 11 
year old is a huge movie buff. We had to stop it at "the" part 
as she was so upset. She vowed never to watch it again.
