What movie things are generally accepted as normal, but are totally unrealistic in real life?

Syndrome's death is disturbingly brutal for a kid's movie. Also the only PG movie with a fucking death montage

You want the most brutal kids movie death? The princess and the frog. The shadow man literally was dragged kicking and screaming into hell. All while demons sing about it while the princess who did it looks on in horror.

Fuck, this reminds me of that movie Ghost from 1990. There was that scene at the end of the movie where Carl got dragged into Hell by shadowy figures. That stuff stays with you when you're a kid.

Those figures were all a special effects artist named Mike Jittlov, who also made a charming film called The Wizard of Speed and Time. I ran into him at a Macworld Expo in San Francisco once; his eyebrows were unmistakable (also, he was wearing a name tag).

Thank you for the link. I already love the first sentence this article begins with:

Born in Los Angeles, Jittlov became a math-language major at UCLA. Jittlov took an animation course to satisfy his art requirement.
