The old emperor's death always creeped me out too. His hissing, hard to understand voice ("I am still emperor!") and the way he crumbled apart just frightened me as a kid. Also, just the opening credits on the Skeksis around the crystal being rejuvenated by its eerie purple light was enough to set me on edge for the rest of the film.

It's hard for me to remember back to when I saw this in theaters, but I think the tick-like soldiers of the Skeksis would have been rather horrific to me, especially in that scene where they surround Jen in the darkness of the castle tunnelsnothing but red eyes! The things remind me of giant spiders coming after youvery creepy and scary.
Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?

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.
