This. I grew up watching Don Bluth movies and reading stuff like the Redwall series, both of which had plenty of dark and brutal things/death. And that was seen as totally normal? Like, almost everyone in my class had read Redwall, it wasn't considered to be something that was too "intense" for 8- and 9-year-olds. Like you said, I feel like it's only been recently that the idea that things need to be sanitized for children has become a thing.

DA - but I think “sanitizing for kids” goes in cycles, like a lot of things. Since Redwall/Don Bluth is mentioned, I think we grew up around the same time - and I remember stumbling on older versions of popular kids’ stories and fairy tales that were being sanitized for mainstream consumption then, at least in the US (Disney cartoons being the most obvious example, but also just in common picture books and in classrooms). Or hearing some pushback at a family summer camp where a counselor used a version of the 3 little pigs closer to the original than usual, where the wolf is boiled to death (don’t remember if she kept all the pigs alive...).
