[Albertosaurus Rex]

That could very well be it. I don't believe Disney specifically targeted children (and only children) with its first couple movies, though. Just consider Bambi. people always seem to think of the first half of the movie, but the second half is much more mature.

I visted a friend of mine the other day and he's quite into anime these days. We wound up watching Sword of the Stranger together (In Japanese, with English subtitles_ and I was astounded again. Why can't we do stuff like this in the west? The he showed me an episode of Time of Eve, which I liked, and an episode of Ouran High School, which I found rather... odd.

Then I showed hikm the first episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. His comment? "They've made My Little Pony cool!"

Meanwhile, I'm watching more and more of Gargoyles and it's pretty close to what I would imagine a western cartoon for adults to be like. Almost, because sometimes it still has to pull its punches, like when an airship crashes in the water and the crew gets away. In a story for adults, they would have died. Still, one episode a character actually getting shot with a gun and fighting her life in a hospital - how many childrens' cartoons do that?
