10 Dark Scenes Cut from Disney Movies

1. Fantasia (1940) – Sunflower’s Removal: In the original release of “Fantasia,” the centaur Sunflower served as a servant to the light-skinned centaurs. Due to racial insensitivity, this scene was cut from subsequent releases.
2. The Rescuers (1977) – Topless Woman: In one frame of “The Rescuers,” a photograph of a topless woman can be seen in the background. This controversial imagery led to the removal of the scene from later releases.
3. The Lion King (1994) – Scar’s Brutal Death: Scar’s death scene originally depicted him being torn apart by hyenas. The graphic nature of this portrayal was toned down to make it less intense for younger audiences.
4. The Little Mermaid (1989) – Phallic Castle: In the original VHS cover of “The Little Mermaid,” a golden spire on the castle resembled a phallus. This unintentional imagery prompted Disney to alter subsequent releases.
5. Toy Story 2 (1999) – Prospector’s Dark Revelation: In an early version of “Toy Story 2,” the villainous Prospector manipulates Jessie by revealing Woody’s fate in a museum exhibit. This dark revelation was deemed too intense for children and was revised.
6. Beauty and the Beast (1991) – Gaston’s Dark Fate: Originally, Gaston’s death scene in “Beauty and the Beast” was more graphic, involving him falling to his demise after stabbing the Beast. This scene was modified to be less violent.
7. Aladdin (1992) – Arabian Sword Scene: In the original release of “Aladdin,” the lyrics “Where they cut off your ear if they don’t like your face” from the song “Arabian Nights” were considered offensive and subsequently altered.
8. Pocahontas (1995) – Realistic Execution Scene: In an earlier version of “Pocahontas,” a realistic depiction of John Smith’s execution by firing squad was included. This graphic portrayal was deemed too intense and was replaced with a less violent version.
9. The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) – Esmeralda’s Death: Originally, Esmeralda’s death in “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” was more explicit, showing her being hanged. This scene was revised to be less distressing for audiences.
10. Dumbo (1941) – “Song of the Roustabouts”: In “Dumbo,” the song “Song of the Roustabouts” featured racist lyrics and imagery depicting African American laborers. This scene was removed from later releases due to its offensive nature.
