Kids today are sheltered more in a lot of ways, but media content is not one of them. Even in kids' shows and movies, there's a lot more going on than I remembered out of my cartoons, Animaniacs excluded.
My generation had "Stand By Me", "Goonies", "Gremlins", and "Monster Squad". Ostensibly for kids, and had intense shit in 'em.
After seeing the thread title I had this bizarre image of JohnM's Demi Moore blow-up doll dying in a fire.
