Dark Is Not Evil/Western Animation: Difference between revisions

** Speaking of ''[[Scooby Doo]]'', how about ''[[Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School]]''? The girls of the eponymous school are all quite nice and friendly, and even their father (including the likes of The [[Mummy]], Dracula, and The [[Wolf Man]]) are nice, if frighteningly protective of their daughters. The only really evil monsters to appear in the entire thing are Revolta and her minions.

** See the [[Real Life]] page for more, but in ''[[Scooby Doo]] and the Witch's Ghost'', Wicca is portrayed as good and its even gone into detail as to the fact they're very different from witches. {{spoiler|Of course the 'Wiccan' they thought they were clearing the name of was actually an evil witch, but Wiccans were the ones who imprisoned her inside her own spell book and only a Wiccan could imprison her again.}} The Hex Girls (introduced in this movie) also play this trope; they dress like vampires for their act, but are actually three really nice girls and love the environment. They even help the Gang everytime they meet, and {{spoiler|their leader is the one to banish Sarah the witch back into her prison}}.

* Disney plays with its portrayal of villains in ''[[The Lion King]] 2: Simba's Pride''. Kovu and the other Outlands lions are drawn exactly like Scar (lean build, dark coloring, pointed facial features), but only Zira is actually evil. Especially true for Kovu, who looks like a more muscular version of Scar, and even gets a similar scar after a while

* Then there's the [[Our Vampires Are Different|Vampire Queen]] Marceline from ''[[Adventure Time]]'', who, for the most part, is more [[Chaotic Neutral|mischievous]] than actually evil.

* The film adaptation of ''[[Watership Down]]'' does this with the Black Rabbit. In the book he is a dark omen of death, pretty much the grim reaper for rabbits. In the film he is merged with El-ahrairah, a rabbit folklore hero. At the end of the film {{spoiler|he appears before an old Hazel and invites him to join his Owsla}}. The two depart peacefully into the afterlife.
