Hit them with Animal Farm and Watership Down, and send a therapist's kid to college... Throw in Wizards early enough, and pick up a psychiatrist's kid, too!
He recovered after the deer, but the picosecond the giant’s eyes turned red, he said, “What does it mean when his eyes turn red?” Then there was much wailing and I had to ask if he wanted me to stop the movie or if he could promise to keep it together. He absolutely did not want to shut it off and we negotiated a two-minute break to collect ourselves before starting again.
“I never want to see a movie with a dead deer again!” So Bambi is out forever.
This is the kid who totally blindsided me by saying he never wanted to watch Guardians of the Galaxy again because of the mom dying at the beginning. He was obsessed with talking about cancer for a week.
Luke is traumatized by the destruction of Cloud KooKoo land in the Lego movie. He made me promise that they went back and rebuilt Uni-Kittie's home after the movie was over. I swear he cried for 2 days.

He lived in a hut built over a dug-out at Squirrel Narrows. Found frozen to death in the 1930s by Kettle Falls pioneer Oliver Knox; Upton was perched lifeless in the snow just a half-mile from his home. Shunning civilization, Upton defined the word hermit. First spotted rowing his crude log raft on Namakan, no one knows how he got there. Upton’s accent implied an English heritage but any personal inquiries brought a stony silence.

Just five feet tall and wildly unkempt, Catamaran wore hacked-off pants and walked barefoot with a stick. Winter demanded shoes but no socks, a cast-off Mackinaw, and a trailing cap made from the leg of old underwear. He was oddly religious, and suspicious of being poisoned.
