Kids used to be raised on far more terrible stuff, Grimm’s fairy tales and all. I tend to agree with Don Bluth that you can show kids a lot of ghastly stuff and they’ll enjoy it, so long as you give them a happy ending.

His films are classics and still fondly remembered for a good reason, he didn’t shy away from the hard life lessons. Sure, we don’t always get a happy ending, but kids deal with death, sickness, loss and bad people all the time. They need media that shows they’re not alone.

Kids are human people, and can experience the feeling of catharsis through art.
Controversial I know, but there you have it.
