* The [[Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon Disney]] films ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'', ''WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldron'', and ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameDisney'' are some of the darkest films produced by the studio known as the trope namer for {{Disneyfication}}.
** Oh, you think that's bad? You should check out Disney's ''{{WesternAnimation/Pinocchio}}''. That thing was dark both literally and metaphorically. There's a few really horrifying sequences such as the scene [[spoiler: where a boy is seen turning into a donkey, made even worse when we see tons of other boys being turned into donkeys who are either sold to the salt mines or kept to pull the carriage to take more boys to the island to meet the same horrifying fate]]. Even more unusual for a Disney film, there are three different people who serve as villains (four if you count Monstro), and [[spoiler: all of them get away with the things they do, including the ruthless coachmen who kidnaps boys and turns them into donkeys]].
** Disney is rather famous for their [[Franchise/DisneyPrincess Princess movies]] but ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'' is arguably the only Disney ''Prince'' movie.
** Similarly, though Disney has done many movies featuring talking animals, the only times that they've dabbled in [[WorldOfFunnyAnimals full anthropomorphism]] have been, ''[[WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfIchabodAndMrToad The Wind in the Willows]]'', ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland'', ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood1973'', ''WesternAnimation/ChickenLittle'', and ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}''. Oddly enough, three of these movies feature a fox as a prominent character.
** Other unusual Disney work includes ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove'' - which, in contrast to the examples above, is actually much ''lighter'' and more ''comical'' then standard Disney fare - and ''WesternAnimation/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'', which is a sci-fi/action film without any songs instead of a fantasy musical. ''Atlantis'' also has barely any romance to speak of and the villain isn't revealed as such untill very late in the film (This being almost a decade before plot twist villains became a recurring theme in disney movies).
** ''WesternAnimation/ChickenLittle'' can also be seen as an attempt by Disney to copy the then-successful Dreamworks formula of a CG cartoon full of smart-aleck characters, pop culture references and zany humour. Audiences didn't like it and they went back to their usual style.
** ''WesternAnimation/TheThreeCaballeros'' might as well be called ''DisneyAcidSequence: TheMovie''.
** ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}'' represented a fairly radical departure from Disney's usual fare when it was first released. It was all music, no dialogue and didn't have one continuous story, just segments.
