In a word, yes!
We had to screen media for one of ours, as typical preschool movies like Finding Nemo and Cars were too frightening (e.g., that child never made it past the opening scene of FN, when Nemo's mother is eaten by a shark; Cars was "too scary" because of the moment when Lightning McQueen gets separated from Mack). For some children, it's helpful to talk about the safety resources that exist (smoke detectors, 911, fire extinguishers, etc.). (Though I expect you had that conversation already!) DC is still an anxious person, but, with the passage of time and increase in general maturity, no longer routinely overwhelmed by emotions too intense to process.
