It's funny you should mention Scooby Doo because when the LIVE action movie came out, I remember parents were complaining about it, saying that it was bad for a kid's movie to have scary images, monsters, and ghostly visuals in the movie. And I just asked myself "What the HELL is wrong with you people?".

Scooby Doo is all ABOUT monsters, ghouls, and goblins and crap. What'd you expect, a fluffy fuzzy bunny demon who looks like Mickey Mouse? Cartoons don't need adult, mature stuff in them 24/7 but kids do need a concept of REALITY. Even in animation, people die and people bleed, it's apart of our life.

All this on an afterschool cartoon.

Gargoyles was an excellent example of how bad ass a Disney show can be, I've never seen a darker Disney show then that. I remember they even had Demona claw some kid's face out, and you see him holding his face with blood coming out of his hands. Although I don't recall the "hell" line.

Another stupid thing they use to censor toons, guns. Look at the 90's Spider-man series, Teen Titans, The Batman, they have freaking laser guns and high tech future weapons we'd normally see in Star Wars or Futurama. Bonkers and Darkwing showed real guns and bullets.
