Most Spine Tingling Moment of animation

[Samurai Karasu]

This is more a thread not for things that scared the everloving crap out of you in animation but something either, uber cool/shocking/or....well yeah frightning. A scene that gave you that little chill down your back. I got a good one for Yu Yu Hakusho.

The Doctor's little monolouge in the hospital about his thoughts on humanity. Then suddenly the "nurse" he's holding captive splashes some sort of chemical she'd been holding directly into his eye causing him to scream in pain.

Anxiously awaiting the awnsers to my question my good Toonzone folks. Peace :D

[Roaming Tigress]

It doesn't matter how often I see The Lion King, I still get shivers down my spine during "The Circle of Life". It's just too incredible.

In 'The Last Unicorn', the final confrontation on the beach makes my jaw drop, every time. I consider it one of the most moving sequences in the history of animation.

Not far behind is Beast changing back to a human, in 'Beauty And The Beast'. That movie is more intensely romantic than most of the films that call themselves romances.

On the scary side, there's Mojo giving himself the Chemical X injection and transforming into an enormous monster ape, in 'The Powerpuff Girls Movie.'

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker. The whole flashback scene makes me go Whoa! Also Tim Drake transforming into the Joker gives me the willies too.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame: Frollo singing Hellfire as he goes insane with lust. Creepy and terrifying.

Gargoyles: WARNING! MAJOR Owen's revelation. WHAT THE-?!

Gargoyles: WARNING! MAJOR Owen's revelation. WHAT THE-?!
Yeah, that about sums that one up. ;)

Mysterious Cities of Gold, episode 33 "The Reunion": When Zia walks up to the Papacamayo after he's been wounded by the Olmecs, and she realizes that the chief of the Mayan tribe they've befriended is her father. Also the flashback a little later in the episode where seven year-old Zia is confronted by a Spanish soldier and taken prisoner on Pizzaro's orders.

Spirited Away: When Chihiro calls Haku by his true name, and its effect on him (HIS memory finally returning, IMO) is so great that he transforms from dragon to human mid-flight. There's just something about those scales just flying off...

The Last Unicorn: As Almalthea-Unicorn forces the Red Bull into the sea, hundreds of unicorns come riding up out of the sea on the waves, run out of the sea and away from Haggard's kingdom forever. At the same time Haggard's castle crumbles into the sea and he falls with it...and he's laughing. This guy is laughing as he falls to his death.

And finally one last mention - Rankin/Bass version of The Hobbit: The Eagles, first when they come to rescue Thorin & Company and then later when they join the Battle of Five Armies.

the first time I saw this scene I got chills but in a good way

TF:TM

Optimus (voice over): Arise, Rodimus Prime


and let's not forget the scene in ReBoot season 3 between Glitch-Bob and Hexadecimal
Especially when Hex ends up more or less Sane and actually has a fully working face

[Pepperidge]

There are two parts of ReBoot season III that always send shivers down my spine:

In 3.1.4 when it is announced that the User won the game, and in 4.4.3 when it appears that Matrix lunges AndrAIa's spear into Megabyte's face.

And also, the end of episode 18 of Evangelion. Best scream ever.

[ShinjiFanGirl]

In Yami no Matsuei episode 5? when:

EVIL!! Tsuzuki chops up Hijiri/Hisoka. And now that scene is a totally sadistic pleasure that I have watched 82 thousand times. I bought the manga even though I find it boring just for that scene. My only complaint is to how the blood was blue.


I wish I could post something American, and no one had better quote that and respond with some quip..

Here's another I forgot: the house raising sequence in Secret of NIMH, when Mrs. Brisby uses the power of the amulet to raise the cement block house out of the mud and rescue her children. The combination of the beautiful animation and the background music makes it one of those moments that makes you go "...whoa."

One of the most spine tingling moments I remember was in Mulan when Shan Yu and his men are traveling to find the emperors castle. They soon discover Imperial Scouts and when Shan Yu tells them to run and tell the emperor to send his strongest army. They run and while they do so Shan Yu asks his archer. "How many men does it take to deliver a message" and the archer replies. "One." and the screen goes blank and you hear the sound of an arrow. Just the way he says it and the sound of the arrow is quite spine tingling.
