Adult who's a fan of children's media as well, here-- my favorite genre, in (almost) every media is horror. And that very much came from my early years. I was enraptured by the scary parts, every time-- the wicked witch's ominous sand timer (and then EVERYTHING about The Return to Oz), the rats of NIMH, Chernobog and the fighting dinosaurs in Fantasia, the elaborate death trap in The Great Mouse Detective! Any time death hung over a character's head, any time we were given something dark and inhuman...

It's GOOD for kids to have scary things, and deep thoughts, and thorny questions, and tragedy-- it's good for kids to experience big emotions in a safe way, before they have to face terror and grief out in the real world! And so many kids have to grapple with those things in their day to day lives-- for them, fictional worlds provide a road map, but also the comfort of knowing that you're not alone in fear, in pain.
