Mufasa, Bambi's mom, both of Tarzan's parents — Disney wanted to make sure you knew early on that the safety and comfort of your parents could be ripped away at any time and without warning. That's the trouble with mortality, kids: It comes for everyone eventually.
The dark underbelly of the circus is explored in Dumbo, 101 Dalmatians is a PSA against fur, Bambi showcases the horrors of hunting, and The Rescuers Down Undertaught you all about poaching. If Disney didn't turn you into a passionate animal activist, then nothing will.

This trend con...
Babies are born, new toys are introduced into your perfect toy ecosystem, and if you are Alice from Alice in Wonderland, sometimes you wake up just knowing you aren't who you were yesterday. These movies made sure you were prepared for any curve ball life had waiting for.
You have to look no further than Winnie the Pooh to see the dangers of over-indulgence. Too much of something you love can end with you getting stuck in a bee hive, which never ends well.
