Most disturbing Disney scene ever.
Yes! I finaly found out the title of that movie. I remember seeing this in theaters well over twenty years ago. I find it hard to believe that it is actually 20+ years, but that's another story I guess.
I remember being scared of mainly two scenes in this as a kid, the obvious would of course be 'The Giant mouse from Minsk'. But there's a far more frightening scene in this, at least to my hen seven/eight year old mind, that goes far beyond the fear of a monster. To this day, this has to be the most disturbing and downright nasty scene I've ever seen in a Disney movie:
When Warren T nonchalantly drops the lit match on that pile of cotton (is it?). It's not what happens, if that wouldn't be disturbing enough, it's the /way/ he does it. With that smile, and that "adios!" thing. And then the friggin thing steps back, muttering in a pure-evil voice something about: "So, we can't do business, huh?"
That made me have nightmares for a while I remember. Do you think that Warren T was a pyromaniac? He doesn't have to be in order to do that, but the (again) way he does it. The way he enjoys made me sick to my child stomach.
Twenty years later, a week ago when I sat through this, he still doesn't come across exactly a nice cat. And that scene still sends shivers down my spine, even if I didn't exactly get nightmares out of it.
