Tom and Jerry. (These two were so .. violent, Simpsons parodies them with Itchy and Sccratchy!)Bugs Bunny vs. Just About Everyone.
Mighty Mouse.
Woody Woodpecker.
All of the above are vintage, from as far back as the 30's for some of 'em -- and they were far, far more violent than many of the shows today, be it ink and paint or hy00mans.
But your'e right, Disney has always been lily-white, no safe-dropping, no piano-dropping, no exploding cigars. No six-pack of dynamite.
Feh. No wonder I turned otaku.
Besides, isn't Incredibles targeted at *us*?! Just like all the aforementioned toons? I don't think they had the kiddies in mind when they did 'em -- else, they woulda put out such dreck as Barney or Totoro or that weird little locomotive.
I seriously dislike the US attitude that 'toons are for kids.' Double-feh on that. Toons don't make sense till you grow up ;o)
