What part did you find scariest?

I recall being EXTREMELY scared of the scene when they were all stuck together in the tar and walking towards Cera. The bizarre noise they were making, coupled with the half-realization that it was them in the tar and the half-inability to understand that it was them (confusing, I know) made it very disturbing to me. I recall quite vividly my mother attempting to explain to me that "it's just them in there".

It definitely goes down as one of my scariest movie memories from childhood.

For me it was that same part only it's when she has that slow realization that it's them and you see her POV of them upside down and giggling at her. For some odd reason, that kind of creeped me.

I do agree, this was a very creepy scene. It was indeed them, but I found the scene prior when they were all trying to get out of it rather scary and then they are still in it.

It also doesn't help how ill the sight of tar makes me feel and I have a weird time trying to watch scenes with it in films. Bit weird, I know, but yeah.

When they were in the thorn bushes and Sharptooth found a way to get his head in far enough sniffing after them and they were separated from his snout by a mere log or branch.

Also when Littlefoot got snagged in the thorns and they snapped back and hit Sharptooth in the eye, blinding him. Freaked me out as a kid!
