i feel like watership down and poo poo like bambi had more soul because they had some serious underlying themes while shaving off the really horrible edges of real life c.f. stuff post lion king where it's all slick commercial poo poo designed to bring in parents and kids

as a real young kid i liked land before time a lot because it had cool dinosaurs and a really sad tone and then the sequel came out and it was all happy joyful singing and poo poo and i knew that stuff was for homos

I think there was a definite shift in kids media that was gradually happening around that time. Not to get all Buzzfeedy and Athenian with nostalgia and condemnation of future generations. I think that the movies I grew up with are like the candy I grew up with: crunch bars used to be the poo poo but now that I am older and have a more sophisticated palette I realize they are actually just poo poo. And good stuff for kids doe get made (Wall-E from earlier in this thread, for example). But there is a shift in tone and content, I feel. I think we were less afraid to talk about death back then, and parents wren't full-helicopter yet. We also went from the GRITTY REALISM of the Reagan/Bush1 years to the happy-fluffy Clinton years. It seems like after a decade of war we're back on grimdark but we're sort of detached from the actual darkness of reality through ironic, nostalgic humor. We all wish we lived in a pre-9/11 world but caring is for losers. I think monkey cheese has always been around, but it turned up in the late 90s and kind of settled back down.
