Did This Moive Scare Anyone As A Kid?

I remember being utterly petrified as a child, so scared of what would happen to the mice I bawled my eyes out and stopped watching it. I then had nightmares filling in a gruesome ending for the family!

I would hazard a guess that it wouldn't have quite the same effect now!

The first and only time I watched this movie, I was being baby sat by my older sister. I was so freaked out by this movie that I refused to go to bed, convinced our house was going to sink into the mud! I was in hysterics by the time my parents got home, and my sister refused to baby sit me ever again.

Yes, it freaked me right out! Loved it though. I'd forgotten all about it till I read something about it on another board. I'm going to have to see if I can get it on DVD. Haven't watched it for over 15 years, so will be interesting to watch it again and see what I found so scary!

Yes! This movie was terrifying for me. I saw it in the movie theater and I remember being scared, but that is about it.

The scene with the Great Owl scared the hell out of me the first time I saw this movie at age 10.

I had a nightmare that I remember to this day of Brutus the watch-rat with his huge spear holding my mouth shut while my parents moved out of the house in front of me. And yes, I was sobbing my eyes out. I think I was about 5 or 6 at the time of the dream.

This movie scared me badly as a child. BADLY! Now I just love it.

I hated the scene in which Auntie Shrew ties up poor Jeremy and leaves him to be eaten by the cat. And then Mrs. Brisby's little monsters show up, and instead of releasing him, they also decide to leave him to die. The cruelty in that scene was more disturbing to me than just about anything else in the movie. The only other thing that comes close is the scene with Brutus. Not so much the way he attacks Mrs. Brisby, but the fact that Mr Ages so casually dismisses it when she tries to tell him that someone tried to kill her.

I am pretty sure I didn't see it before now. When I saw it for the first time (recently) I was surprised how intense it was. Nothing "Stephen King" scary, but I really worried about the characters. They were made so realistic, thanks to Don Bluth's incredible talent!
