Nice of you to respond Rodan, thank you. I don't wanna make it sound like i'm traumatized, because i'm pretty sure that's not the case. It's just that this is a fear i have had for most of my life, and it has always been so deep and invasive. It often (used to)

Glad you mentioned the opening scene, because that's right up there with the mask scene and Bruce's introduction as the scariest parts of the film.

And i'll admit that part of me still enjoys the movie's scary bits, despite my phobia. They're dramatic, funny, suspensefull, and FN itself is undeniably one of Pixar's best films. I guess it's just the "feel" of it that unnerves me. Although, i find it really strange that i have almost never heard anyone else talk about this?. This is one of celebrated and successful animated films of all time, and yet nobody who was commented on it has brought up how disturbing this scene is. Just look at this thing!, it looks like the exact personification of the word horror!. Oh well, i guess i'm just prone to different kinds of fear than most people.

I remember that during the director's commentary, Lee Unkrich and Andrew Stanton say that they used to skip the pages of National Geographic that had pictures of anglerfish on them. Lee even says that the fish itself is the closest thing to an actual monster that we have on this planet. They also say that during a test-screening, a mother said she thought it might be too scary for younger kids, to which all the men in the audience said: "No! no!, it's great!".

P.S. Awesome Zack Snyder burn!.
