Yes! The free-roaming eyeball was pretty gross! It was all wet and moist and then she pops it back into her face. I could just imagine all of the nasty hair and lint it's picked up from rolling around yuck!

Yep,the Chamberlain's being stripped to resemble a post-Thanksgiving turkey; also the Landstriders' pointless deaths. But no one remembered that the Landstriders left a baby behind? That really got me when I thought about it. Their baby was probably too little to survive without its parents.

If you look closely in the widescreen, you will see that there were THREE adults and one baby in the forest clearing. So although two of the adults died, there was one adult left over, which would hopefully take care of the baby. How do we know the adult left behind wasn't the baby's mother/father?

I think Kira's death disturbed me the most when I first saw this. I heard that the guys standing around on the set while it was being filmed were crying during this scene.
I was also disturbed when she gets her life-force sucked out, because I didn't want to see her end up like the Podling. I didn't want to see her eyeballs sticking out.

i'd definitely have to say it's when they take the podling's essence and then start to take kira's. yeah, when i was a kid that really made me freak out. but a lot of the film (as much as i love it now as i did then) disturbed me as a kid.

What disturbed me is: I loved the look of this movie, I loved the concept, I loved how it is in tune with the type of fantasy I like - and yet, when I watched it, it was boooring.

wow.. everything you all said: the disrobing, the crumbling master, when the master yells at chamberlain, the eyeball. i was also always bothered by the scene where the skeksis are having their feast.. just grosses me out. of course, it's hard for puppets to "eat" without it all falling out of their mouths and that adds to the glutonous-ness of the scene.. but cookie monster sure made it look cute and not threatening.

"I wish more children's movies would have the bravery to express such things. But now everything is censored, dumbed down. "
Yes to this, so much! Most of the kids' books and movies out there today make me actually sick to my stomach.

The only thing that really disturbed me was the stealing of the essence.
Really creepy.
Oh, and Kira being killed =[
It was dark, but different. I've never seen anything else like it.

Nowadays Augrah's nipples freak me out the most.
When I was a child, the multi-toothed dog creature that jumps out and scares Jen freaked me out.
I'm watching this with my three year old as I'm writing this, and the Beetle creatures freak him out the most by far.

The disrobing of the Chamberlain disturbed me. For one thing, his excessive clothing seemed like a part of his body and it appeared to me (as a very young child) as if they were taking off part of his back. Also, seeing him naked was even grosser than seeing the other gross skeksis fully dressed. He was so skinny and grey.
The other part that bothered me was when Aughra's home was burned. She must've worked very hard to build that contraption that showed the universe. Electricity didn't exist. It must have been powered by pulleys, gravity, or a nearby waterfall. It was sad to see her amazing creation destroyed. I was so glad that Aughra wasn't killed. She needed a bigger part. Her yelling at the Skeksis was an awesome scene!
