** "Grim Grinning Ghosts" was known to scare a good number of kids. The ending where the kid is talking to his friend "Danielle" (who dreamed up this whole sequence in the first place) will also catch you off guard, if you're named Danielle.

** "Grim Grinning Ghosts" was known to scare a good number of kids. The whole creepy ambiance of Ride/TheHauntedMansion at night, the dancing trees with glowing yellow eyes, the gathering of Disney Villains, the sequence of creepy animatronics from the ride, and the deep voice of Creator/ThurlRavenscroft singing the song all contribute to the spookiness. While there are a few touches of NightmareRetardant comedy, like Donald Duck dressed as a BedsheetGhost and Maleficent scaring the other villains just by saying "Boo!", they only soften the effect a tiny bit. The ending where the kid is talking to his friend "Danielle" (who dreamed up this whole sequence in the first place) will also catch you off guard, if you're named Danielle.

** The other segment to be AccidentalNightmareFuel for some kids was "The Great Outdoors". Shaker and Liver Lips [=McGrawl=] look particularly UnintentionalUncannyValley, there's a bit where kids are seen running out of a cave while screaming as Liver Lips comes out behind them, the song includes the lyrics "And if you won't come join us, ''we'll chase you up a tree!''", and the chorus could be heard as "Ain't nothin' like the Great Outdoors to ''eat your soul!''".

** There's something...off...about the way that "[[Film/MaryPoppins Let's Go Fly a Kite]]" [[LastNoteNightmare ends]]: Professor Owl suddenly grabs a strange black [[TheFaceless faceless]] figure (with very long arms and a legless triangle shaped body and head) and throws it onto a songbook, where it swings its arms and causes the music on the page around it to [[DerangedAnimation go all weird and disappear]], leaving it alone on a dark background. Obviously, this is a character from the [[WesternAnimation/AdventuresInMusicDuology original Professor Owl shorts]], but their appearance here is sudden and comes with no explanation (it didn't appear before or after this). Coupled with its creepy appearance, the DerangedAnimation, the bombastic finale of "Let's Go Fly a Kite" under-scoring the scene, and [[MoodWhiplash the scene]] {{Smash Cut}}ting [[MoodWhiplash to "Heigh Ho" afterwards]], the scene is likely to confuse if not outright scare a kid watching it.

** The ending to the "Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life for Me)" segment from pre-1994 copies of ''Heigh-Ho'' (taken from ''Disneyland: From Pirates of the Caribbean to the World of Tomorrow''). After the sing-along portion, the animatronic pirates (themselves falling into UncannyValley) start shooting each other near some barrels containing explosives. One bullet finally hits a barrel which explodes.
