Did you ever realize how dark children's movies were back in the 90's and further back?

i think those sorts of movies were great. not everything in life is sunshine and roses. a lot of children experience tough times, whether its poverty, or the death of a loved one like a parent. some children want to see movies that they can relate to, and some children cannot relate to a movie where everything is disney perfect and rainbows and happiness. some of us live in the real world.

also some childrens movies had a political message in them, whether it was "save the earth from pollution": or "love one another, even those who are different" it is important for children to become familiar with our social view points so they can make up their own little minds as to what is important to them.

mindless entertainment with no higher meaning is pointless. i think children are often too coddled these days. it isnt real. not everything is easy.
