10 Kids Movies That Are Way Darker Than They Let on According to CBR

"Cinematic offerings dedicated to young audiences have been around for nearly a century. The first children's film is difficult to identify, but Disney's 'Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs' (1937) made the genre more or less official. These narratives usually take elements of child psychology into account, explaining why themes that fascinate kids tend to be structurally different than those crafted for adults. In short, children's movies are packed with vivid visuals, lighthearted tones, and uncomplicated plotlines. On the other hand, there are a few examples of the genre that deviate from the norm, often by a huge margin, turning what should have been cheery films into uncharacteristically dark stories." - cbr.com
