Vote up the nostalgic flicks that stick with you in the worst ways.
When you put on a movie as a kid, it was often an animated classic or a flick intended for some family fun. Sometimes, it was a movie that might've been a little too adult for you - but you watched it anyway. The funny thing about both of these scenarios? Any of the movies you watch when you're young might have given you a lot more than you bargained for - and not in a good way.
When Redditors chimed in about films that genuinely traumatized them, their examples ranged from cartoons and kids' movies to horror flicks and dramas. While full of nostalgia, many of these movies contain some questionable content and striking scenes young viewers couldn't shake. Take a look and vote up the ones that were pretty traumatic for you, too.
My mum took me to watch [Watership Down] at the cinema when I was about 7, thinking it was some cutesy animation about bunnies.. she promptly fell asleep and I'm still traumatized from it. Never been able to watch it again.

Everything about this movie is a true work of art. The story, metaphors with the candy, the brutal, absolutely horrifying ending.
Even the poster for the film is traumatic. If you lighten it up, you see that the fireflies aren't actually fireflies, but firebombs being dropped by planes in the middle of the night.
Went and stayed at a relative's as a grown man, maybe 30 at the time. Couldn’t sleep, nothing much to do so I found a stack of DVDs and chucked it on thinking it might be a light-hearted family fantasy to lull me. Bawled my eyes out. Faaaaack.

Seriously, I watched Event Horizon during my early teens alone in my room with the lights off at night. At the credits roll I turned it over to Cartoon Network and watched Tom And Jerry for a while trying to remember there is joy in life still to be had. Nothing has left me so unsettled since.
