15 Traumatising Moments From Children’s Movies That Scarred You For Life

8. Judge Doom's Reveal - Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Although it's an undoubtedly fun movie, Who Framed Roger Rabbit could be viewed as being a bit challenging for kids to watch and 'get'. There's the sexualisation of a cartoon rabbit, for one thing, and then there's dark moments like the reveal of Judge Doom and his subsequent rampage at the film's climax. Doom is an evil judge who discovers he can kill the Toons by dipping them in a toxic mix. After revealing his plan to the film's heroes, he is run over by a steamroller, but survives. Turns out that Doom was a Toon all along, he's just been wearing a human disguise. Futhermore, it was Doom that killed Eddie Valiant's brother Teddy. The moment where Doom turns around to display his cartoon eyes and voice (while still in his human disguise) is deeply unsettling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSTL3AidX4o
