I read once that there's a scene in that movie, I believe the opening mental hospital scene, where the filmmakers consulted child psychologists to find out what might be too intense for a child to see onscreen. Then purposefully did all the stuff they advised against.

No disagreement, but special mention to the Brave Little Toaster
Never forget Blankie.
Also, AC got what he deserved, the fuckin' toxic boomer. 🤌🏼
Princess Mombi haunted my nightmares far longer than the xenomorphs in Alien, for real. 😭
p.s. Considering that Fairuza Balk's Dorothy was about my age when I first saw it, the flick was especially evocative, but fast-forward to her films that followed, and I found myself subconsciously looking(fumbling) for aspects of her roles in the dating pool. Mixed bag, for sure, but gawdamn what a time was had. No regerts.

The head lady and the wheelers turning into sand were especially creepy.
