* ''[[Fame]]''.
* The third ''[[RoboCop]]'' intentionally toned down the extreme violence, profanity, and drug use of the first two films in order to appeal to children. It bombed miserably.
** The travesty that was ''Robocop: The Series''. Taking the third movie's approach and running with it, Robo now wasn't really allowed to kill people (instead using gadgets ''a la'' Batman to disable them), the humour was lightened to kiddie-friendly levels, and the plots took on a far more unrealistic and dopier slant.
* The [[Joel Schumacher]]-helmed ''[[Batman (film)|Batman]]'' films were considerably lighter in tone and content than the [[Tim Burton]] installments that came before it, in part because of the parental outcry over how dark ''[[Batman Returns]]'' was. ([[What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?|Never mind it was rated PG-13]].) This more child-friendly approach went hand-in-hand with [[The Merch]], and contributed to the [[Sequelitis|artistic catastrophe]] of ''[[Batman and Robin (film)|Batman & Robin]]'', which led to a [[The Dark Knight Saga|reboot]] to start afresh.
