I never thought aboutThe Incrediblesthat mode …
Have you ever sat down to watch a kids movie and thought, for one reason or another, that it didn’t feel entirely appropriate for children?
Well, you’re not alone. Reddit user u/FighterAtHeart24 recentlyaskedthe community, “What kids movie made you think ‘This is NOT for kids”? leading people to share dozens of titles. Here are 16 of the ones they named.
1. “Rango. The kids will enjoy it, but there are so many references to other movies in the film that only adults will understand. I think the filmmakers really made it for the parents.”
— u / Fullback70
2. “Who Framed Roger Rabbitis rated PG. The themes of this movie are: blackmail, cheating on your spouse, HEAVY drinking, developing young minds to have an early desire for redheaded [curvy women], and watching several cartoons die in horrifying ways.”

3. “Coraline.”

" curiously enough , I ’ve get wind adults incur it way scarier than small fry did . "

8. “The Witches(1990, not the remake).”
— u / impotentpornstar
" 100 % . This movie scared me so tough as a child when the grand high beldame exact off her masquerade party . 😂 "
— u / Thejolliestrancher _
9. “I feel like theHarry Potterbooks got more intense as they went on, basically as their original audience matured in later years and was able to handle the grimmer stuff. (Similarly, theLittle Housebooks also become more difficult to read and all the locusts and long winters are in the later volumes.) So do the movies, with increasingly darker tones all around. Recently, someone posted about how sad their 5-year-old was when Dobby died in Part 1 ofDeathly Hallows, and I thought: ‘That’s really not meant for a 5-year-old to see.’ Kids who were 10 when they read the first HP book were 20 when they readDeathly Hallows.”

10. “I took my niece toGremlinswhen it came out. It was way too scary!”
— atomic number 92 / Noninvasive _
11. “Blank Check.”
— u / KingBrunoIII
" I saw that in the theater . While it has its moments , the main role romance an adult woman is creepy . It ’s really rather adult to think of that part in a investigator story , with the grownup having to affect to go along with a kid ’s naiveness . "
— u / FirstwetakeDC
12. “The Incredibles. That movie is rather dark when you stop to think about it, and really adult. It deals with suicide, genocide, intense action scenes with high death counts where other people are trying to murder the main characters, politics, marital problems, possible affairs, sexual themes, and characters willing to let other characters die for their own gain. Not to mention Syndrome was willing to (and attempted to) murder children, and took pleasure in thinking Bob’s entire family was dead and watching Bob’s face as he learned the supposed news too.”

13. “Shrek.”
— u / Nein _ _ _ _
" come here to say this one . So many innuendo . "
— u / Valuable_Treat16
14. “Disney’sThe Hunchback of Notre Dame. And it was pretty tame compared to the original. Everything about Frollo felt so icky, from the way he takes in Quasimodo just to treat him like less than shit, to the horrible implications of the things he says to Esmerelda, to the way he rightfully burns alive at the end.”
— u / SapphicSorcery
15. “Cat in the Hat.”
— uracil / Small_snake
" My best-loved scene in that movie is when they ’re running through the yard and the cat step on the rake and says ' Dirty hoe ! ' runs off and comes back to say , ' I ’m good-for-naught sister , I love you . ' Top level . "
— u / mnwannabenobody
" Or when the cat reckon at the picture of the kids mum and his hat commence tall . "
— atomic number 92 / HelicaseRockets
16. And finally, “The Land Before Timefor me. When I rewatched it, I almost turned it off. I’m 32.”
