It looks like the vast majority of these examples are 3D animation, but there\\\'s barely any 2D examples, even those animated with Flash or Toon Boom like Chaotic, Wild Kratts(outside of the live action segments) and MLPFIM. Unless storyboarding counts?

This was actually discussed in the documentary on the Flashback Edition DVD. Gedde Wantanbe (sp?) (aka the Donger) said something like \\\"Calling it \\\"date rape\\\" is a little severe!\\\" (I\\\'m positive he said \\\" a little severe\\\", just not the exact phrasing; it\\\'s been a while. At any rate, this movie was (and this is actually heavily lampshaded in a *whole section* of the doc!) made just before PC [political correctness] became a big issue, making stuff like that near-taboo (if not totally so). So don\\\'t worry too much; it probably was meant as comedy at the time, but much like (although in a different way) the sometimes blatant racism of the pre-civil rights era, it\\\'s a product of its time (much like how no one raises a fuss over the Lion in The Wizard of Oz making a reference to a racist term for [I think] an African tribe during his big solo (namely, \\\"What makes the Hottentot so hot?\\\") Anyway, rambling aside, it\\\'s not that big a deal, at least to me.
