The road to El Dorado had some semi adult moments between 2 characters, Joe died in Mighty Joe Young, and Toy Story 2 was NOT for little kids the jokes were awful. Oh well, I guess they are playing to the grown up crowd at the expense of their target age group.

Well, The Road to El Dorade was Dreamworks SKG. . . hopefully, one day they'll manage to give the Disney corporation the kick in the pants it needs.
But, I just wanted to point out that you all mustn't forget that Disney owns several other studios besides the traditional Disney. Touchstone Pictures, for one, and it's subsidiary, Dimension Films (they're responsible for all of those teen horror flick vehicles) . . . .
Disney isn't always saccharine sweet like people make it out to be. They're just in awkward place to be in a society that needs to delineate everything as being grown up or childish. . . Believe it or not, there are things that can entertain everyone
It's good storytelling.
Anyway, I'm rambling. . .as you can tell, I have a bit of fondness for some of the Walt Disney Company's finer accomplishments.
