Line 9:
** Genie in ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]].'' A-List actors did not star in speaking roles before this. They all did afterwards.
** The relative tameness of old cartoons is lovingly parodied on ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' with "That Happy Cat", an early Max Fleischer-style "Itchy and Scratchy" cartoon, in which all Scratchy does is walk along a street. Even the 20s and 30s Mickey could be subject to this after the rise of ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' and ''[[Tom and Jerry]]''.
* ''[[The Ren and Stimpy Show]]''. Unprecedented and freakish when it debuted, it practically invented the "gross cartoon" paradigm. The gratuitous amounts of snot, [[Toilet Humor]] and [[Family-Unfriendly Violence]] were something completely new and unknown to the audience. Nowadays, Ren and Stimpy wouldn't shock or disgust many people ([[Squick|unless we're talking about the adult version]]), with the spawn of many cartoons that used similar [[The Grim Adventures of Billy
** This is not entirely true. While it is hands-down one of the most ripped off cartoons ever, the DVD boxes for said series still sport parental guidance labels on them, and the website commonsensemedia.org rates it as unsuitable for viewers '''below 15'''. Many commenters on youtube who watch this show, most of them who hadn't seen it since childhood, often point out how "screwed up" and "insane" it is. Honestly, how many cartoons these days show characters pulling out their nerve endings with a pair of tweezers?
*** ''Ren & Stimpy'' also managed to avoid this by virtue of, as stated on its trope page, its imitators [[Shallow Parody|only copying one of its multiple inventive elements]] (that one being [[Gross-Out Show|the disgusting animation]]).
