Oh yes they did! They f*cking killed Bambi’s mother!? Like five minutes in the movie! Although over half a century ago, I remember it vividly, I was there with my grandmother in the theater. I cried my eyes out…..bastards!
and 'where the red fern grows' was another one. lots of sad stories about animals. doesn't make any sense that it's considered entertaining/don't know what purpose it serves.
like some of them don't have feelings unless it's tragic, reminds me of a couple of people I know.
Totally relate, though I've never seen Bambi. I think my generation's version of that was Artex dying in The Neverending Story (not Disney but DAMN that shit was sad).
My mother had to attend wakes and funerals as a child, they were school functions in Spain.
Kids all over the world see corpses along the street until they're removed. We try so hard to sanitize and shelter, Disney was okay to introduce those concepts because life is messy and people do die.
Having a pet is a learning experiences in many ways and their lives are short enough where you are confronted with the reality of death young enough.
At some point we have to learn, Disney did that rather tastefully, there are tons of things they did wrong, but tragedy is a part of life.
I was gonna say the same. Parables myths and stories often teach a life lesson. Disney sanitized alot of stories written much harsher
Sex is a whole other ballgame that small children don't need to know about.
Looking back on it and re-watching the old Disney stuff, I've found that it wasn't moral programming, even back then. Not even in the beginning.

yes it really does seem like they like to torture us; to get us all worked up.
gathering loosh I suppose.
What about “The Yearling”? Hard watch.
How about Old Yeller? Bawled my eyes out, and was scared to death our dog was going to get rabies. :-(

BECAUSE of killing Bambi's mother, I can't watch that movie or Dumbo! EVER...NEVER!
Many Mouseketeers lived messed up lives. Wondered if they were being groomed
