Whaa? Iron Giant went too far? I didn't get that at all.
What the hell kinda moralist tales you want?
"Hey kids, you might want to do something about something someday! It could possibly (maybe) be the right thing to do! *wink*"

For what it's worth, I think a lot of what are considered classic Disney movies went too far too... An example of new and old would be Bambi and Finding Nemo. They don't need that heavy crap about death and loss of a parent laid on them. Kids have plenty of time to learn the world can be a horrible, sucky place. They don't need that crap laid on them at such a young age in the guise of entertainment. Its manipulative.

Actually, that is one of the best times and ways to introduce kids to the ills of life. Like it or not, kids experience death, loss, pain, and suffering. Would you rather them be blind-sided by it, or have an innocent fallback memory such as Bambi, or Bridge to Terabithia to help them thru the pain?

Bambi doesn't help, sorry. I'm not suggesting you wait until they're 15 to explain death to them.
The death of a family pet helped my daughter understand, without being bludgeoned over the head with it by supposed entertainment.
Ginsu Victim:
Kids are smarter than people give them credit, but not if we shelter them from every little thing. (This isn't PnR, so I won't go on a political correctness rant...)
I was raised on horror movies and heavy metal since birth. I turn out to be (fairly) well-adjusted. (ignoring some awkward years in junior high and high school...)
