For some reason the movie the dark Crystal had me fucked up when I was like 5years old.

Dude, The Dark Crystal was unnerving when I first saw it almost 20 years old in the late 90s. I don't think you were wrong there.

The Dark Cauldron was the first movie I walked out of when I was 5, followed the next year with Return To OZ

Unnerving! What a great word for it.

Feel like it applies to a lot of kid scary actually.. like Goosebumps or the carnival scene in Big.. just like lingering uneasiness

The 80s were a wild time for kids movies. I loved The Labyrinth but the scene where the puppets took their heads off and played soccer was unsettling. I still don't like that part.

My husband wanted to throw on The Secret of Nimh for our 5yo twins. He was sitting there confused why I would object, "it's rated G." It's 1980s G; that's a Don ~~Bleuth~~ Bluth animation! "It will be fine! Come on kids, this is a movie Mommy and Daddy watched when we were kids." I got up to get a blanket in preparation for the inevitable hiding behind a blanket moments.
