It wasn’t me, but Pan’s Labyrinth had quite the exodus of parents with their younger kids when someone was beaten with a bottle and shot to death very early on.
Oh God, the Kangaroo Jack one was so egregious. I remember us renting that movie as a family and definitely feeling cheated that it’s a fairly mundane comedy movie, no animated talking and singing kangaroos except for that single scene.
Luckily I was quickly warned that Bridge of Terabithia, while being marketed as a Chronicles of Narnia ripoff, was actually kinda sad. I think it helped that it’s based off a book so more people were familiar with the source material.

Good Idea… But… Why the holy hell would you even think for a moment that it’s a child friendly movie? Ugh.

I probably would’ve thought the same if a friend didn’t regale us with the descriptive introduction to the torture scene.

I had to read the book in maybe 5th grade or thereabouts… Main character dying messed me up a bit… I remember this overwhelming feeling of unfairness…
Definitly was marketed as a familly movie in Canada. I do remember kids crying in the theatre and parents leaving. It’s Del Torro’s best movie IMO.
Hell yeah I love that movie. Fuck them kids
Was that the one with or without David Bowie?
You’re thinking of “Labyrinth”. Which is still a masterpiece of eccentric fantasy.
Without!
Yeah. That was interesting that time I watched it high waiting for Bowie to show up…
