* The Grand Duke is one of the most frightening creations to come out of Creator/DonBluth's imagination. Except for the part where [[spoiler:[[AntiClimaxBoss he gets shrunk down to three inches in height and then cartoonishly chased away by his nephew]]]] right after his OneWingedAngel act. Isn't it a rule that the villain gets a [[RuleOfCool more dignified death]]?
** For more than a decade the Grand Duke was responsible for my little sister's deep and abiding fear of organ music.
** [[Tropers/{{Chaos009}} This troper]] found the Duke's [[FanNickname Lucky Charms]] breath scary as hell. Think about it: a force that could summon storms and turn kids into kittens comes with little stars, hearts and other brightly-colored symbols?! It was my first experience of LightIsNotGood and it ''freaked me the **** out''.
** What about when the Grand Duke drops his hamminess and [[spoiler:strangles Edmund with his magic]]?!
* [[Tropers/AnonymousUser I]] can't be the only one who finds Snipes's panic attack in the chest disturbing, as he pecks holes in it causing water to gush in.
** The water ''itself,'' oddly enough, is scary. For small children who watched this movie, the idea that their homes and parents could be impermanent is disturbing enough, without a veritable biblical flood swamping Edmund's town. It doesn't help that the water is colored black.
