History WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids / WesternAnimation

* ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'', unsurprisingly given its premise, lives off of BlackComedy, FamilyUnfriendlyViolence, and disturbing imagery that makes ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' look childish and tame in comparison. It's all PlayedForLaughs, but it can sometimes get disturbing nonetheless.

* ''WesternAnimation/TimeSquad'': On the outside, it was a funny, unassuming edutainment cartoon (that was more entertainment than education) about an orphaned history whiz taken in by a overly-macho time cop and his effeminate RobotBuddy to the future where, each episode, they go back in time to fix history. On the inside, it got away with adult jokes that were on par with ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'', played up the HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood trope for laughs more than ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', and indulged in more homoerotic subtext than anything that Cartoon Network had aired at the time in the early 00's.

%%* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' seems to look like it's a superhero-themed animated TV series destinated to children, but instead is ''[[SubvertedKidsShow much]] [[ComedicSociopathy worse]]!''.

* ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'', while tame compared to ''Ren & Stimpy'', still has its moments. Social satire runs rampant throughout the series, some of the adult humor is flat out extreme and ridiculous (going as far as showing Rocko working at a sex hotline), a few of its worst innuendos got banned from even the [=DVDs=], one of the episodes was banned for being too sexually sleazy, a lot of crazy and disturbing stuff happens in general, there is often serious abuse going on between characters, and the theme song shows what a sick mockery Rocko's childhood was. Not to mention that it could get [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence pretty violent]] (such as a scene where a bull's arms fall off while lifting weights, with [[{{Squick}} blood and meat coming out of them]]).

* ''WesternAnimation/{{MAD}}'' fits this trope to a T. While somewhat cleaner than the [[Magazine/{{MAD}} magazine]], it's nonetheless filled to the brim with DemographicallyInappropriateHumour (with frequent sexual humor and actual swearing; the fourth episode actually had bleeped usage of "fuck" during the "Rejected ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'' Characters" skit), jokes involving popular characters being severely injured/killed, and the like. It's a wonder that Creator/CartoonNetwork aired the show uncensored, let alone for four seasons.

* ''WesternAnimation/SundayPants'' was a short-lived anthology series and one of the network's first TV-PG rated originals. The show also had characters drinking (in one episode of ''Weighty Decisions'', the angel claimed that the devil was drinking too much) and swearing (such as an episode where the angel says "What the hell is that supposed to mean?" and an instance in an ''IMP'' short where the titular imp says "dammit!" and "double dammit!"), which are most likely what [[ShortRunners led to its cancellation after a mere month on the air]].

* While ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'' is not the most inappropriate kids show around, it has quite disturbing undertones to it[[note]]Take ''Back to Bortron 7'' for example. It is implied that if Jet, Sean, and Sydney didn't improve Carrot and Celery's presentation, '''they would have never gone back to Earth ever again.'''[[/note]]. Not to mention that one of the main child characters was ''almost killed'' by a weather balloon in an episode, Jet's own cousin is pretty much a racist bigot (at least until CharacterDevelopment kicked in), and there are implications of self-loathing in another episode.

* [[ParodiedTrope Parodied]] with ''JustForFun/TheItchyAndScratchyShow'' in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. Featuring the titular cat-and-mouse duo, ''The Itchy & Scratchy Show'' is an [[{{Gorn}} over-the-top violent]] animated segment played within ''The Krusty the Klown Show'', which is for children and is popular with that demographic. In ''The Itchy & Scratchy Show'', Itchy the Mouse [[{{ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill}} gorily mutilates]] Scratchy the Cat [[{{TheyKilledKennyAgain}} to death in almost every episode]]. Bart and Lisa Simpson find it hilarious. This led their mother, Marge, to form [[{{MoralGuardians}} a concerned parent's group]] to ban the show. Though the show had been {{bowdlerized}} in-universe a few times, [[{{StatusQuoIsGod}} the bowdlerization would later be lifted every time]]. Krusty lampshades this in "White Christmas Blues" when he has to block violent images due to modern sensitivity; at first, he's reluctant, but then he catches a glimpse of the show:

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': There's a huge amount of [[NauseaFuel disgusting]] [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence violence]] (most notably from episodes like "The Splinter" and the infamous toenail scene from "House Fancy") and NightmareFuel, especially in the seasons between the [[WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie first]] and [[WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOutOfWater second]] movies, as well as all kinds of dirty references ("Patrick, your genius is showing!" "Where?!"), [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick raising a child like a married couple in one episode, and [=SpongeBob=] and Mr. Krabs thinking they murdered the health inspector and trying to hide the body from police. (ItMakesSenseInContext.)

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' was Disney's first truely dark animated series, with surprisingly mature themes such as gun violence. In the first episode, Goliath performs an on-screen BareHandedBladeBlock that leaves visible bleeding wounds on both palms. The episode primarily regarding Gun Violence hinged on explaining proper gun safety and pulled no punches as to what could happen even to a trained officer of the law was irresponsible with her service weapon (not storing it properly in this case). It likewise gave an excuse as to why the bad guys (and '''only''' them) have [[FamilyFriendlyFirearms laser weapons]], namely that they were stolen test weapons and were more military grade than police weapons grade and are more destructive and dangerous than service weapons (the series never once gave a police character a laser weapon as a service weapon).

* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' was initially criticized for being too kid-friendly. It ''more'' than made up for it from the end of the first season and beyond. Brutal depictions of WarIsHell, {{Family Unfriendly Death}}s abound, and [[BlackAndGrayMorality a good amount of morally questionable moves by the traditional heroes]] turned it into one of the most fearless family-friendly animated programs in recent memory. A few early episodes included mild profanity in their initial broadcasts, though this was caught and {{bowdlerise}}d for later airings. The series also contained lots of [[ParentalBonus extended universe lore references]] and call-forwards to the [[Franchise/StarWars Original Trilogy]] that kids were unlikely to appreciate.

It's easy to forget, despite the horror-comedy (and sometimes outright horror) premise, themes, and audience generally skewing older, that ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' technically has a ''TV-Y7 rating''. Based on WordOfGod, this may have been why the show was cut short, since Disney Channel generally doesn't cater to older audiences.
** Some of the subject matter and themes the show tackles includes the trauma and effects of parental abuse, allegories for chronic illness, and the consequences and damage of cults, among many others.
** With that in mind, a lot of characters are also shown with DarkAndTroubledPast(s), with some of them actually having full-blown panic attacks onscreen, implying mental health issues as well.
** TheReveal in "Hollow Mind" that [[spoiler:Emperor Belos is a WitchHunter named Phillip Wittbane who ''murdered'' his own brother for romancing a witch and that the Day of Unity he's planning is a whole witch '''genocide''', ''regardless of anyone's ages'',]] as well as ''the whole episode'' in general pretty much cements the show as this, especially considering what happens during the rest of Season 2B.
** "King's Tide" is downright horrifying, as it shows [[spoiler:everyone in the Boiling Isles suffering and slowly dying as the Draining Spell kills them, Amity having to abandon her father -not knowing if he will live-, King wandering through a cavern filled with the skeletons and masks of previous Golden Guards, Raine being forced to tear off Eda's arm, Belos mutating into a monster after Luz brands him, plus his eerily realistic attempt at manipulating Hunter and [[LudicrousGlibs gruesome death at The Collector's hands]] followed by the kids forced to escape through the portal when King pulls a heroic sacrifice and arriving at Camila's injured and traumatized]].

%% * ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse''

-->'''Krusty (horrified):''' Oh my god! I've never watched one of these sober! I have to get this bloodbath off my kids' show!

* ''Literature/{{Babar}}'' is an animated series based on a French book series that was intended for children. Within the FiveEpisodePilot, Babar's mother is shot by The Hunter, The Old King dies from eating a poisonous mushroom, and the Hunter is burnt alive by the fire he caused (all while shouting how he'll destroy all the animals), with Babar confirming that the Hunter died for real in a later episode. The later episodes tackle with subject matter such as Babar and his friends being picked on because they look different, Cornelius and Pompadour believing an assassin is out to kill Babar, an elephant-hating general sending Celesteville and Rhinoland to war, Flora nearly dying from being bitten by a poisonous snake, and Babar meeting the ghost of The Old King. The series aired in reruns on the preschool-oriented Creator/{{Qubo}} network as well as Creator/TreehouseTV, both of which gave the series a TV-Y rating.

* The setting of ''WesternAnimation/InfinityTrain'' is essentially an otherworldly train that kidnaps anyone no matter their age and keeps them prisoner until they learn to improve as people, whether that takes weeks, months, or years. And don't expect to learn exactly ''how'' you're meant to improve, as you never learn why you were taken to begin with; you're expected to simply figure it out on your own. As for the plots themselves, they tackle everything from divorce and mourning the dead to identity and the worth of life, with the third season explicitly following the exploits of two cult leaders. Beyond the introspective themes the show is also [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence rather jarringly violent]]. One episode in the second season outright involves a character being run over by the titular train and losing the lower half of his body, after which he spends the next few minutes dripping gore everywhere (although [[AlienBlood it isn't red]]) while admitting he's not long for this world, [[spoiler:and is later killed outright by one of the protagonists]]. In the third season another unquestionably human character dies [[spoiler:screaming while having the very flesh age off his bones with no discretion shot in sight.]] When talking about the possibility of a fourth season, [[https://io9.gizmodo.com/infinity-trains-creator-says-the-shows-future-is-in-jeo-1844852183 the creator said]] it falling into this trope is one of the biggest issues execs have with the show.

* One has to wonder if kids are even on the mind of the showrunners of ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'' given how dark and mature the show can get. Things like child abuse, death, post-traumatic stress disorder, and war crimes are played completely straight and explored in great detail. The psychological horror of season 4 is very intense for a "kids" show.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheDragonPrince'' takes place in a fantasy world where the characters have GreyAndGrayMorality, one of the leads is a ChildSoldier, and at least a few instances where blood is shown onscreen, yet it still has a TV-Y7-FV rating. [[note]]Granted, at least two episodes of the series ([[Recap/TheDragonPrinceS2E7FireAndFury S2 E7]] and [[Recap/TheDragonPrinceS3E9TheFinalBattle S3 E9]], which have [[BloodierandGorier a noted increase]] in the level of violence) are actually rated TV-PG, although Netflix doesn't show an individual episode's ratings until you play that episode.[[/note]]
* Following the premise of ''WesternAnimation/{{Centaurworld}}''[='=]s first season, many noted how there's several... questionable things that happen in the series such as how the Mysterious Woman killed a ladybug centaur to use its blood as paint, Glendale's kleptomaniac behavior and her history with the law, a Very Special Episode discussing suicide, the Nowhere King's appearance, Wammawink's softcore merman magazine collection, and many, many more. Against all odds, it scored only a TV-Y7 rating.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' was Disney's first truely dark animated series, with surprisingly mature themes such as gun violence. In the first episode, Goliath performs an on-screen BareHandedBladeBlock that leaves visible bleeding wounds on both palms. The episode primarily regarding Gun Violence hinged on explaining proper gun safety and pulled no punches as to what could happen even to a trained officer of the law was irresponsible with her service weapon (not storing it properly in this case). It likewise gave an excuse as to why the bad guys (and '''only''' them) have [[FamilyFriendlyFirearms laser weapons]], namely that they were stolen test weapons and were more military grade than police weapons grade and are more destructive and dangerous than service weapons (the series never once gave a police character a laser weapon as a service weapon).
* Fans of ''WesternAnimation/TheLionGuard'' have debated on why it is classified as a preschool aimed show and why it has a Y rating ever since its premiere. None of the fans deny that it's for kids, but the fact its aimed at preschool kids is stunning, given that the violence is sometimes a tad unfriendly to that target audience. There are some suggestive jokes, and we even see a dead body (which, although this happened in the movies it's based on as well, is still unusual), along with some of the Aesops being quite mature for children of that age. Overall, it's often agreed that the show would be better off with a TV-Y7 rating. Season 2 has [[spoiler: Scar return from the dead, resulting in more blatant attempts to kill entire herds, multiple locations are turned to ash, and several major characters nearly wind up dead.]] Season 3 almost completely kicks the show out of typical preschool cartoon territory, as [[spoiler: the opener has Kion explicitly bleeding, Ono loses his eyesight, Ushari burns to death, and Kion gets infected with a venom that causes him to start wrestling quite clearly with his darker instincts, along with the fact that, given this is a midquel for Simba's Pride that they do not appear in, guarantees the Guard does not come back, albeit due to voluntarily disbanding.]]
* Many parents believe that ''WesternAnimation/PJMasks'' does not belong on Disney Junior due to the occasional acts of physical violence and the characters often calling their enemies' names (both of which are rarely seen in preschool cartoons), which they believe shouldn't be copied by the target audience.

* ''WesternAnimation/PickleAndPeanut'', like ''Gravity Falls'', really stretches its TV-Y7 rating, with lots of [[{{Demographically Inappropriate Humour}} moments]] that are right on par with Cartoon Network's ''Regular Show''. For instance, in the first episode, they get away with saying "skinny dipping". That alone makes you wonder how Disney could allow this show to air on their network.
* ''WesternAnimation/HandyManny'' is a preschool cartoon, but the episode "Felipe's New Job" had one of the main characters ''[[DrivenToSuicide try to commit suicide]]''. We couldn't make this stuff up if we tried.
-->'''Felipe''': Maybe Manny should just melt me down and use me for scrap metal.
* ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'' just like ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' has lots of risque humor and some black comedy in it including Wander playing spin the bottle with Lord Hater, Captain Awesome saying he’s going to take Lord Hater down to “Awesome Town” and then pointing at his crotch, and Peepers slicing open and killing a plant monster using the point on top of his helmet. It can also get surprisingly dark in decidedly non-comedic ways at times. The main villain Lord Dominator tries to slice through Sylvia with a giant power drill and make Wander watch as she tries to murder his best friend.
* In a similar vein to ''The Lion Guard'', we have fellow Disney Junior series ''WesternAnimation/ElenaOfAvalor''. While it definitely has enough light-hearted moments and happy endings (or endings where the positive elements are given more emphasis) to have it fit on the channel, it qualifies for this trope due to its realistic take on trauma, the fact that the main antagonist succeeds in ''murdering'' Elena's parents, and its much tighter focus on serialized storytelling (its parent series, ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst'', has many of these elements, but they were more pronounced in later episodes and less in earlier ones). It's still definitely a children's series, but its subject matter is incredibly dark by the standards of a preschool series.
* ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst'' eventually plays this straight in the series finale, "Forever Royal". The standout elements include [[spoiler: the revelation that Sofia's father died at sea, and King Roland's wish for a family caused Queen Lorelei to die since her body couldn't handle it, Vor possessing the more sympathetic villain Prisma to do her bidding and being the first antagonist to actively try to ''murder'' Sofia, a scene that (from the parents' perspective) looks like Sofia is trying to commit ''suicide'' even though she's just trying to escape the boat with Amber and Minimus, and to top it off, Vor's death that's not too dissimilar to the Earth Queen's death on ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra''.]] This was still rated TV-Y by the way.
* ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'' is ''significantly'' darker than the [[WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987 original series]]. A few reasons why include the frequent use of black comedy, a frighteningly realistic depiction of emotionally abusive relationships with [[spoiler: Magica forcing Lena to do her bidding]], Donald and Scrooge being traumatized over [[spoiler: Della Duck's supposed death]] and being ''very'' antagonistic to each other, and the violence is much more realistic.
** In Season 2, [[spoiler: Della Duck is revealed to have lost her leg in her plane crash. Even worse, there's the implication that she had to ''cut off her own leg'', since it was crushed underneath her plane, though no pain or blood is shown and she happily shows off her self-made prosthetic. In addition, viewers watch her grapple with 10 years of isolation on the moon, sending messages home that [[DramaticIrony the audience knows her family never saw]]. Even after she gets home and happily reunites with her family, there are some subtle instances that her trauma from those events is still there.]]
* The Season One climax for ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatianStreet''; "The Devil Wears Puppies" has Cruella return, and seeking out her Puppy Fur Coat again. It shows that Cruella is very abusive in her relationship to Hunter, in order to get him to do her bidding. What makes it especially dark is that she has a skinning machine which she intended to throw the Puppies in, she uses Dawkin's Doll to demonstrate to the Puppies what it shall do to them, and she tells Delilah & Doug that she is going to force them to watch her do this, before turning them into matching luggage.

* ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'' is ''much'' darker than the [[WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987 original series]]. A few reasons why include the frequent use of black comedy, a frighteningly realistic depiction of abusive relationships with [[spoiler: Magica forcing Lena to do her bidding]], Donald and Scrooge being traumatized over [[spoiler: Della Duck's supposed death]] and being ''very'' antagonistic to each other, and the violence is much more realistic.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfDonkeyOllie'' is a Christian program meant for a young audience. Despite this, it does ''not'' away from violence, gore and otherwise "mature" topics. One arc has a group of slavers kidnapping children to put them to work in the fields, whipping them if they underperform in the smallest way. The fourth episode has Ollie get ''mauled by jackals'' and his bloody wounds are put on full display for the audience. ''WebVideo/TheAnnotatedSeries'' frequently wondered if the show was even meant for its target audience.

** Notably in regards to NightmareFuel, as of [[spoiler:"Dipper and Mabel vs. the Future", the world has ended, an extra-dimensional demon-God has taken physical form, and the last thing we heard in the episode was the hysterical screams of the townsfolk as a dimensional rift to what is essentially Hell opened above them. In the next episode ("Weirdmageddon Part 1"), we find out that [[KidHero Dipper]] apparently went around during the apocalypse for three days without knowing if anyone he knew was still alive, a character gets [[FacialHorror the functions of all the orifices in his face rearranged]] (causing him to fall to the ground gurgling/screaming), and group of demons play a variation of Spin the Bottle called Spin the Person, where they spin a dead body and the spinner has to eat whomever it lands on.]] [[BlatantLies TV-Y7, everyone]].

* It’s impossible to talk about this trope and not at least mention ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars''. The first season was initially criticized for being too kid-friendly. It ''more'' than made up for it from the end of the first season and beyond. Brutal depictions of WarIsHell, {{Family Unfriendly Death}}s abound, and [[BlackAndGrayMorality a good amount of morally questionable moves by the traditional heroes]] turned it into one of the most fearless family-friendly animated programs in recent memory. The series also contained lots of [[ParentalBonus extended universe lore references]] and call-forwards to the [[Franchise/StarWars Original Trilogy]] that kids were unlikely to appreciate.

* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'', in the same vein of ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars''. Some fans thought, based upon the early trailers and especially the character shorts released on [=YouTube=] and partially just because the show was produced by Disney, that it was going for a LighterAndSofter direction to the point it might become DenserAndWackier. Instead, it got DarkerAndEdgier as the first season progressed and when Tarkin showed up it got ''really'' dark, to the point of the trope question being sometimes asked without irony and a few complaints that some of the content really ''does'' exceed the show's TV-Y7 rating. The second season kicked off with [[TheDreaded Darth Vader]] rolling into town and reminding everyone why he is the terrifying ultimate badass of the ''Star Wars'' Universe. Then it introduced two new Inquisitors, both of whom are real pieces of work. And guess what? This show does not shy away from tropes like TheBadGuyWins. Then there's the final episode of the second season, in which a much-loved supporting character [[spoiler:performs a HeroicSacrifice and ([[AmbiguousSituation possibly]]) dies]], not to mention the return of [[spoiler:'''[[KnightOfCerebus Darth]] [[AxCrazy Maul]]''' himself, who kills the female Inquisitor [[OffWithHisHead in a very violent way]] and [[EyeScream slices off Kanan's eyes]] with a lightsaber]].

* It’s impossible to talk about this trope and not at least mention ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars''. The first season was initially criticized for being too kid-friendly. It ''more'' than made up for it from the end of the first season and beyond.

The series also contained lots of [[ParentalBonus extended universe lore references]] and call-forwards to the [[Franchise/StarWars Original Trilogy]] that kids were unlikely to appreciate.

** [[WesternAnimation/Animaniacs2020 The 2020 reboot]] also fits here comfortably. Just like the old show, the show is full of hidden sexual humor and biting satire (perhaps even more so, since Creator/{{Hulu}} is more lax than Creator/FoxKids or Creator/KidsWB regarding content). Actual swearing isn't unheard of, either; "hell" has been used more than once. There's a reason why it's rated TV-PG this time around.

* ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars''. Despite the toyline and therefore the show being ostensibly aimed somewhere around the 10-12-year-old boys slot, the show features clever writing, complex characterizations, and surprisingly mature takes on themes such as warfare and revenge, with a healthy dose of KilledOffForReal to match.

* ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'' is a BlackComedy cartoon with the implication that its setting, Miseryville, is {{Hell}}, as seen through the demonic populace, the heat and lava everywhere, and the usage of misery as a euphemism for eternal damnation. [[WhatCouldHaveBeen The setting being Hell would have been outright stated, too, had the creators had their way]], but you still have to wonder what sort of twisted mind would try to make a show about Hell for a kids channel.

* [[ParodiedTrope Parodied]] with ''WesternAnimation/TheItchyAndScratchyShow'' in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. Featuring the titular cat-and-mouse duo, ''The Itchy & Scratchy Show'' is an [[{{Gorn}} over-the-top violent]] animated segment played within ''The Krusty the Klown Show'', which is for children and is popular with that demographic. In ''The Itchy & Scratchy Show'', Itchy the Mouse [[{{ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill}} gorily mutilates]] Scratchy the Cat [[{{TheyKilledKennyAgain}} to death in almost every episode]]. Bart and Lisa Simpson find it hilarious. This led their mother, Marge, to form [[{{MoralGuardians}} a concerned parent's group]] to ban the show. Though the show had been {{bowdlerized}} in-universe a few times, [[{{StatusQuoIsGod}} the bowdlerization would later be lifted every time]]. Krusty lampshades this in "White Christmas Blues" when he has to block violent images due to modern sensitivity; at first, he's reluctant, but then he catches a glimpse of the show:

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' is a good example, with surprisingly mature themes such as gun violence. In the first episode, Goliath performs an on-screen BareHandedBladeBlock that leaves visible bleeding wounds on both palms. The episode primarily regarding Gun Violence hinged on explaining proper gun safety and pulled no punches as to what could happen even to a trained officer of the law was irresponsible with her service weapon (not storing it properly in this case). It likewise gave an excuse as to why the bad guys (and '''only''' them) have [[FamilyFriendlyFirearms laser weapons]], namely that they were stolen test weapons and were more military grade than police weapons grade and are more destructive and dangerous than service weapons (the series never once gave a police character a laser weapon as a service weapon).

Canadian animation targeted toward kids tends to fall in this category from time to time, usually due to ValuesDissonance between Canada and its southern neighbour. While the dissonance usually comes in the form of Canadian kids' cartoons being allowed to occasionally use very light curse words (like "crap" and "suck") and somewhat more crass material that would probably get an American cartoon pulled off the airwaves (including DemographicallyInappropriateHumor), these examples get much more intense than that.

Just like with Teletoon, YTV's animation targeted toward kids tends to fall in this category from time to time, usually due to ValuesDissonance between Canada and its southern neighbour.
