* ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'' is a film about a young girl who learns that the women of her family are [[OurWerebeastsAreDifferent werebeasts]] who gain the ability to transform into giant red pandas in their early teens. She's confused and frightened by the changes to her body, she's at the mercy of her emotions because strong feelings trigger the change and her mother needs to counsel her on how to deal with what she's become. It's a pretty unsubtle allegory for puberty, particularly as her mother describes the first transformation as "the red peony bloom[ing]", which sounds like it could mean [[MenstrualMenace something else]].

** The scene where Triton argues with Ariel in her grotto then destroying it is scary enough, but just listen to it in a...[[AbusiveParents different context]].
*** Triton's character arc can also be interpreted as someone coming to terms with having a behavioral disorder, such as intermittent explosive disorder, after having a particularly devastating meltdown.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Encanto}}'', [[MuggleBornOfMages Mirabel's]] relationships with the rest of the Madrigal family are very reminiscent of how a family would handle a young woman with a learning disability. Her parents constantly try to assure her that she's loved and it doesn't matter that she can't do things that others in the family can; the relative she's closest to is her youngest cousin who hasn't gotten his "gift" yet, and when he does she's both happy for him and disappointed that he's surpassed her too now, like a kid meeting developmental milestones that a handicapped adult hasn't; the family matriarch sidelines her and secretly blames her for the family's problems because of the stress her situation causes them; and while the other adults are usually nice to her there's an unspoken assumption in all their interactions that she's inherently less capable and less mature than them.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'':
** The scene depicting Esmeralda's dance from ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame''. First she appears out of a puff of smoke onto a stage, then starts to perform a sultry dance, then runs up to Frollo, wraps her scarf around him and kisses him, then runs back onto the stage and continues her dance, then splits and winks at the viewer, revealing a brief closeup of her eyes, then gets back up and grabs a spear from one of the guards' hands, before finally driving said spear into the stage and dancing around it as if it was a pole!

* In ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'', after Buzz Lightyear [[TomatoInTheMirror finds out that he is just an action figure]], he jumps over the banister trying to fly to the window... and tumbles down the stairs painfully and breaks his arm off. Many adult viewers have suggested the parallels to a suicide attempt.

** And then there's the clash at Gazelle's peace rally.

* The various racism allegories in ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'', such as Judy's protest that she's not a "token bunny" on the police force, and her claim that [[NWordPrivileges only rabbits can call each other "cute"]].

** On a more disturbing note, the scene Buzz gets brainwashed is eerily reminiscent of a rape scene with him being forcibly bent over, his battery covering removed and them accessing a normally private part. To further drive home the point, he's screaming in pain, begging his tormenters to stop and finally ending with a BigNo.

-->'''Pete:''' Was it because you're damaged? Hm? Did this "Andy" break you?\\

** Jesse and Stinky Pete questioning Woody about being damaged also looks bad from the view of someone who was not abused and was in a genuine accident, or received injuries from a rough activity: The jumping to conclusions, the refusal to listen to the truth, and the belief that injuries must mean abuse. Neither is the way to intervene, especially the refusal to let the person speak.

* In ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'', Jesse and Stinky Pete questioning Woody about being damaged is one "he hits me because he loves me" short of questioning a victim of domestic abuse:

** [[HoYay Miguel and Tulio's entire relationship.]] The entire 2nd half of the movie reads like a breakup. The HoYay was so strong that a rumor was started that Miguel and Tulio were supposed to be boyfriends during production, when we know that Dreamworks wouldn't have been courageous enough to even think of making them a couple, even now.

** Ursula, while not a good character, was sane and composed during most of the film. However, when she transforms into Vanessa, its implied that she lost quite a bit of sanity (to the point of becoming a borderline AxCrazy) when turning into her, as she talks to her mirror in a manner similar to a schizophrenic, emits a psychotic grin when throwing a pin at a mirror's head with enough velocity to knock the mirror back, and most certainly kill a person had that been a human being, not to mention her cackling.

** At the end of the film, just right after Frollo falls to his doom, Quasimodo actually looks like if he is marrying Esmeralda (who, because of her almost being tried and sentenced to death by burning by Frollo for a crime she did not commit, is now left with a long, white dress since all of her other outfits were presumably destroyed by Frollo so that she would be executed properly before the trial) to Phoebus.

--> ''(The computer spits out paper)''

-->'''Lampy (original):''' It's just like that feeling I get when I think about the master.\\

-->'''Computer:''' Ooh! That feels sort of good!
-->'''Mouse:''' What does?
-->'''Computer:''' My memory banks are being stroked and by an expert. I feel something. Something happening inside me. And I can't keep it to myself any longer!

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheBraveLittleToaster'', some of Lampy's lines, out of context, [[AccidentalInnuendo could be taken as a liking for S&M]].

* Given the [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids tone]] of WesternAnimation/TheBreadwinner, it's not surprising that there's a mature and disturbing example of this in Idrees' creepy SweetOnPollyOliver moment. He starts picking on Shauzia-as-Deliwar for collapsing in the middle of her job and Parvana, in her Aartish disguise, pulls him away so he turns his attention to her, pushing her down and pinning her to the ground. [[VisualInnuendo He mocks her for being too weak to push him off, and when she fails to]], [[RapeAsDrama she screams]]. When he does get up, [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty he mocks her again while grabbing her face by the cheeks]]. The fact that he tried to pressure her father into [[MaritalRapeLicense marrying her off to him]] earlier in the movie just makes it creepier, and him chasing her down with a semi-automatic gun after recognizing her and [[TheDogBitesBack getting hit in the face with a brick]] makes it look like he means to do it for real.

* ''{{WesternAnimation/Scoob}}'' Has Dick acting disturbingly like an abusive parent to his robot minions. The rottens are all like young children whose understanding of right and wrong mainly amounts to pleasing their master. They seem to be very aware f Dick's explosive temper, as they are seen trying to pacify him, especially Dusty, who keeps apologizing like a broken record. But Dusty's frantic apologies only infuriate Dick more, and finally blows into a full down tantrum as he pelts Dusty with any object he can find and lobbing insults at the little robot (who is the mental and emotional equivalent of a ''child'' and has curled up into a troubled fetal position at this point) but this point anything Dusty does just makes Dick even angrier, and he only ceases the physical/verbal onslaught when he gets the idea to make an "example" of the poor little guy whose only crime was to fail despite doing his best and sincerely apologizing for it. He grabs Dusty, who at this point is squirming frantically as Dick rips his head of and crudely stuffs a vacuum cleaner on it.

** Ken's CampStraight and TheDandy behavior causes several of the other Sunnydale toys to refer to him as a "girl's toy", and his reaction, as well as the implication that it happens a lot, is similar as a straight guy who's sick of being called gay just because he's InTouchWithHisFeminineSide.
