* Disney is infamously known to have some of their animated movies suffer from this every time they try to break away from their [[AnimatedMusical mold]]: for example, because they tried to venture into DarkerAndEdgier territory, the disastrous box-office failure of ''WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldron'' almost ''destroyed the entire studio'', and was quickly forgotten once ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989'' was released into theaters and was proven to be far more successful. However, during the early 2000s, Disney then tried breaking away from the mold again, even revisiting the DarkerAndEdgier trope a second time, but this resulted in movies like ''WesternAnimation/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'' and ''WesternAnimation/TreasurePlanet'' becoming disastrous box office failures, forcing Disney to eventually begin to end their long-running trend of animating traditionally-animated movies for good. However, these movies are still considered as [[CultClassic cult favorites]], preventing them from being completely forgotten.

* Disney In the public mind, Creator/{{Disney}} is infamously known to have some usually synonymous with mass-market, family-friendly {{Animated Musical}}s. Even though many of their animated successful movies suffer from this every time they try to break away from have their [[AnimatedMusical mold]]: for example, because they tried to venture into darker moments, most of their attempts at making fully DarkerAndEdgier territory, movies have alienated audiences by being too scary and violent for young audiences, while the "[[{{Disneyfication}} kiddie]]" stigma attached to the Disney name scares away older viewers, as shown by the disastrous box-office failure of ''WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldron'' ''WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldron'', which almost ''destroyed the entire studio'', and was quickly forgotten once ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989'' was released into theaters and was proven to be far more successful. However, during the early 2000s, Disney then tried breaking away from the mold again, even revisiting the DarkerAndEdgier trope a second time, but this resulted in movies like ''WesternAnimation/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'' and ''WesternAnimation/TreasurePlanet'' becoming disastrous box office failures, forcing Disney to eventually begin to end their long-running trend of animating traditionally-animated movies for good.
