13 Disturbing Disney Moments That Ruined Your Childhood

9. Fish Dinner - Finding Nemo

Ursula The Little Mermaid
Pixar

What turns into an adventure across the oceans as a desperate father tries to find his only son begins as something entirely different. Opening to a thriving young clownfish couple, Marlin and Coral, we watch as they celebrate their relationship and beginnings of a new family. We then see their collection of eggs as they excitedly chatter about becoming new parents to a school of over 400 fish. We then see a barracuda. Gulp.

The threat is palpable from its raging expression, with Coral facing up directly against it in a big to save her family. Heartbreakingly, her attempt to stop the attack on her unborn children only serves to lead the creature right to them, with only one damaged egg surviving in the form of Nemo.

Seeing someone's entire family unit wiped out in the space of half a minute is pretty scarring to say the least. Especially when it's carried out by a real monstrous looking creature that lives in our oceans. No thank you.
