If you really think about it, this studio glosses over a lot of dark events in their movies.
- Aladdin has Haseem's death. He suffers a Cape Snag and gets stabbed by his own sword, dying a painful Family-Unfriendly Death.
- Not to mention the fact that he scalped and murdered a woman as part of a disguise to trick Aladdin.
- Their take on Anastasia. Unlike Don Bluth's version, they blatantly state that Anastasia's family was killed. Anastasia is almost killed, but she ends up with amnesia. The last half of the movie focuses on her living a new life with Alexander and even having a son together. When she finally regains her memories, it's at the very end and she never fully addresses the fact that her family was killed in front of her. It also leads to one of the biggest Karma Houdinis in film with Rasputin getting away with usurping and killing most of the Romanovs and taking over Russia.
- The actual execution scene is genuinely chilling, with the Romanovs under the impression that they’re simply being relocated, calmly and cheerfully walking down the stairs to the basement. The soldiers are even polite to them and vice-versa, reinforcing that the family has no idea these are their final moments alive. And in some releases of the film, the audience hears the gunfire.
- In their second Beauty and the Beast movie, the Beast refused to help a group of starving townsfolk and let them walk away empty-handed. This led to a majority of them, including the three comic-relief ghosts, dying because of his cold and selfish nature. In order for them to pass on, they have to help the man that killed them, thus causing them to develop a dark form of Stockholm Syndrome.
- During the volcano eruption in The Legend of Atlantis, there's a shot where one of the panicking civilians trips and is crushed by a falling column.
- In Princess Castle, the titular castle is filled with living furniture, probably to bank off of Disney's Beauty and the Beast. However, all the food in the castle is also sentient as well. After we see this, there's a scene where the kids throw a living peanut butter jar into a crocodile's mouth to shatter and gum it up so they can escape. He's never seen again after the furniture turns back into humans.
- Not to mention, the crocodiles are revealed to be humans at the end too.
- The thought that all the food are sentient humans also leads to some disturbing ideas about what happens when it's time for dinner...
- Thumbelina has the implication of a lot of people drowning if Thumbelina doesn't get to the Meadow of Tulips. This gets worse when Mona keeps manipulating Thumbelina, disregarding both her welfare and her people's lifes at the same time. She is selling Thumbelina to Mr. Mole, damning her to live unhappily ever after.
