** Moses was [[Badass Grandpa|80 years old]] and father of two sons when he came to see the Pharaoh. He also was "[[Speech Impediment|slow of tongue]]" and so Aaron did the talking. Moses as a younger man is probably more due to the influence of ''[[The Ten Commandments]]'' than this trope.

* ''[[Anastasia]]'' manages to show the Russian Revolution [[Hammer and Sickle Removed For Your Protection|without mentioning Communism]]. Instead, Rasputin is plucked out his historical context for use as a pure [[Evil Sorcerer]] (ignoring his ''complex'' relationship with the Romanovs), and given an annoying talking bat as a [[Non-Human Sidekick]]. They didn't even mention Lenin, the Soviets and the Bolsheviks when they attacked the Czar's palace!

** Which is closer to being [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_Revolution historically correct]. Bolsheviks were not a major power until November in 1917. Well, except for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_(council) Soviets], given you [[Adaptation Displacement|recall what that word originally meant]].

** There was one Communism joke. One. "That's what I hate about this government: everything's in red!" They get out of the USSR about [[Traveling At the Speed of Plot|as fast as the plot can carry them]], saving it from any further inconvenient relevance to the cute-little-bugs musical numbers.

* This actually happened to ''[[Tom and Jerry (Animation)|Tom and Jerry]]'', of all characters, in [[The Movie]], where they ditched most of the slapstick, [[Suddenly Voiced|started to talk and sing]], became best friends, and helped an annoying little girl reunite with her father.

*** We can save time by saying that every single story on ''[[Super Why]]'' is horribly Disneyfied, to the point of barely resembling their original stories. The main characters ''edit the story to get the result they want'' every episode, after all.

*** Ironically, for a show about learning how to read, the writers really don't, or more likely [[They Just Didn't Care]]

* ''[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/HappilyEverAfterFairyTalesForEveryChild Western Animation: Happily Ever After: Fairy Tales for Every Child]'' mellowed down most of the fairytales they adapted. For instance, their ''[[The Little Mermaid]]'' adaptation is closer to the source than the Disney movie, but in the end the Mermaid marries the Prince anyway.

* Just about any comic book adaptation that isn't specifically praised for being dark and edgy. There's a reason why so many people confuse comics books with cartoons, or assume superheroes are for kids (and admitting to reading them to those who haven't may lead to awkwardness). Apparantly, that characters such as the Punisher and Wolverine regularly kill others, and characters like Batman and Spider-Man's entire premise is based around death means nothing to some people, because the cartoons are too childish to be taken seriously sometimes.
