It's in the R section. I've been good mommy, can I have it?"Sadly the cartoon doesn't even had to have the Disney name prominently attached. Merely being animated is enough. When some coworkers and I went to see the opening of Princess Mononoke there were parents in line with their children. When I say children I don't mean under 18, I mean some of them were dragging along their favorite blankey and a sippy cup and barely reached knee height.
"Sure... it's a cartoon.... it's for kids,"
Two hours later.
"Hello, obnoxious talkshow host. DISNEY CARTOONS ARE IMMORAL AND WARPING OUR CHILDRENS FRAGILE LITTLE MINDS."
"Hello lawyer, I want millions from Disney because I'm an idiot,"
We even tried warning a few, but after the first few insisted that it couldn't really be rated R even with the movie poster right in front of them (But it's a cartoon! About a princess!) we shrugged and let them find out the hard way. It was interesting to see how many parents and kids in tow left once the first post-opening battle scene came up.
Parents: It's a cartoon, how bad can it be? (Takes kids to theater)
Parents (speaking to theater manager): You. Refund. Now. (while dragging screaming kids away from the movie...)
