Line 3:
** As mentioned in the page quotation, ''[[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.
** Before ''[[Toy Story 3]]'', there was ''[[The Incredibles]]'', with gun violence, [[Electric Torture]], [[Interrupted Suicide|suicide attempts]], large-scale destruction, bad guys who [[Would Hurt a Child]], and "[[Anti-Hero|good guys]]" who run from the police and lie to their own families, all in the same film. [[Brad Bird]]'s history of working on ''[[The Simpsons]]'' really comes through in the style and tone of ''[[The Incredibles]]''.

** Pixar's twelfth film ''[[Brave]]'' is said to be darker than the previous Pixar entries.
* As for the [[Disney Animated Canon]], ''[[The Black Cauldron]]'' and ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]'' are considered to be among Disney's darkest.
