Darker and Edgier/Film/Animated Films: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

* As far as [[Pixar]] movies go, only [[Monsters, Inc.|one franchise so far]] hasn't involved at least one death, but ''[[Toy Story 3]]'' and ''[[The Incredibles]]'' are considered to be among their darkest.

** As mentioned in the page quotation, ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'' 3 is considered [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNzb79IQObk much] darker than the first two, as well as unusually dark for a [[Pixar]] movie. This is one of the more [[Justified]] examples, though, since the concepts introduced earlier in the series leave room for [[Fridge Horror]]. The third has a darker feel because it [[Ascended Fridge Horror|calls attention to a fair bit of said fridge horror]]. That, and it's a [[Prison Episode]] rife with disturbing elements like [[Killer Rabbit|sadistic teddy bears]] and [[Cymbal-Banging Monkey|cymbal banging monkeys]]. Considering the time gap in between each movie's theatrical release, this seems somewhat appropriate. It's almost as if Pixar directed the film at an older audience who grew up on the older films. The way ''Toy Story 3'' ended, it felt like Pixar wanted to give the now Teen/Young Adult audience of the first movie some closure on the series they came to love when they were kids.

* ''[[Digimon X Evolution]]''. When Digimon die, they actually leave their corpses behind, the hero has an attack called "All Delete", and previous heroes are ruthless killers.
