YMMV / The Seventh Brother

Go To

  • Nightmare Fuel: The whole movie is made of this. The most terrifying scene in particular is during a song where a disembodied voice sings about how danger is everywhere and to be afraid as they slowly morph a picture of J.C. the rabbit into a creature from hell (starting at the 18:55 mark).
  • Paranoia Fuel: DANGER IS ALL AROUND AND EVERYTHING'S OUT TO KILL YOU! BE AFRAID! BE VERY AFRAID!
  • Refrain from Assuming: The song in the English dub over the sad montage is called "How Lonely," not "I Miss You."
  • Tear Jerker: If you weren't hiding under your bed as a kid, you were crying your eyes out.
    • In the American version, when Tiny is convinced that his owner Angie no longer loves or wants him, a montage of clips of him and Angie together is shown as a rather sad and depressing ballad plays. The whole montage is interspersed with the image of Tiny crying. Made worse by the fact that, taken out of context, the song's lyrics could just as easily be about grieving for a dead loved one.
    • In the German/Hungarian version, the puppy doesn't need much convincing; his owners pulled over and pitched him out of their car. That is ice cold, man. Not to mention he was basically named "garbage" in the Hungarian dub.
    • At least in the German version, he doesn't realize (or more likely, refuses to believe) that his owners abandoned him on purpose and spends half of the movie hoping for them to come back. Seeing his final realization that the rabbits had been right all along is nothing short of heartbreaking.
    • One that could almost overlap with Fridge Horror: given Mrs. Magpie's annoyance about the rabbits adopting Tiny, she takes absolute pleasure when a fox comes around and threatens the rabbits, seconds before they scare him off. Shortly after that, when the river starts flooding, she shows no sympathy either when the rabbits are nearly washed off the side of a waterfall, but rather laughs at their misfortune!
    Eli Stone: Lady, what did the rabbits ever do to you?!
    • The puppy (Vacak/Bobo/Tiny) growing weaker from malnutrition toward the end (which might double as subtle Nightmare Fuel; if he hadn't been taken to the humans in time, he would have died like Setsuko in Grave of the Fireflies) and the rabbit family's realization that he can't live with them anymore.
