[net.movies] Walt Disney and Horror Movies

cw (06/19/82)

The recent comments about the traumatic scenes in Bambi prompt me to
note a common thread in the Walt Disney animated movies.  They all
had some extremely scary scenes.  Remember the witch in Snow White.
I also think of Night on Bald Mountain in Fantasia and a very
scary rearing witch in Sleeping Beauty.  The theory was that the
terror was cathartic.  Guess it was also traumatic.
