Sequel film split into its own page, with relevant examples moved to Nanny Mc Phee And The Big Bang. Some expansion on nightmare fuel from the children nearly getting Cook and Aggie killed.


** Same for the entire sequence. The children nearly [[spoiler:blew up Cook, in addition to nearly boiling Aggy]].



** On the commentary, it's revealed that the prop medicine was relatively mundane and tasted pretty good so the kids naturally freaked out in disgust when they saw the movie version.
* Miss Topsey and Miss Turvey and their threats about what they're going to do to Phil in the sequel film. It's even worse in both the original British version and in the novelization. Showing up in nurses' outfits, planning on scooping out a man's insides while he was handcuffed with no escape while he was still alive... then stuffing him and sticking his dead body on a spike as a warning to everyone else? And actually brandishing a huge scooping spoon thing at one point? [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids That doesn't sound like a kid's movie.]]

--> ''She was very ugly — the ugliest person you ever saw in your life! Her hair was scraped into a bun, sticking straight out at the back ol her head like a teapot handle; and her face was very round and wrinkly, and she had eyes like two little black boot-buttons. And her nose! - she had a nose like two potatoes. She wore a rusty black dress right up to the top of her neck and right down to her button boots, and a rusty black jacket and a rusty black bonnet, all trimmed with trembly black jet, with her teapot-handle of a bun sticking out at the back. And she carried a small brown case and a large black stick, and she had a very fierce expression indeed on her wrinkly, round, brown face.''

In no way is the snow portrayed as frightening, and NF examples should be things that would scare most people.

* The sudden change to a snows-sky-snowfall at the end of the first movie may come across as more than a bit unnerving for some.

This Troper. Also, transferring Trivia item to the proper tab.


** WhatCouldHaveBeen: On the commentary, it's mentioned that the baby originally was supposed to be bouncing in the pot as it got hotter and hotter...they scrapped that when they realized that would be a little ''too'' disturbing.
