10 Movie Scenes WAY More Disturbing Than Intended

Even accepting Who Framed Roger Rabbit as a gloriously bold and subversive fusion of seemingly family-friendly animation and hard-boiled film noir, there's a single scene which traumatised an entire generation of youngsters upon release.

We're talking of course about the unforgettable "dip" sequence, in which Judge Doom (Christopher Lloyd) demonstrates The Dip - a caustic mixture of turpentine, acetone, and benzene - which can erase the otherwise indestructible toons.

Doom grabs a cowering toon shoe (voiced by Nancy Cartwright) and slowly lowers it into a vat of the Dip, with the poor, terrified shoe being liquified as it makes contact with the chemical mixture.

Doom evidently savours the toon's suffering as they die, and to make the whole thing extra disturbing, the shoe is coloured red, meaning that it melts down into a red substance that looks a lot like blood.

Obviously the scene is meant to be creepy and scary to a point, yet director Robert Zemeckis didn't appreciate quite how much this would live rent-free in people's heads - for decades, even.
