I think you should be more wary of thinking that a) kids are paying attention to social lessons in animated films, even insidious ones, and b) putting forth such a moralistic “protect children from themselves” viewpoint, assuming that they won’t grow up into critical people that can shed any tv junk that stayed with them.

Indeed, it is much worthwhile to think of children’s rights, and protecting them from parents and schools that would regularly beat, emotionally abuse, and condescend to them.
