No, in Disney their are deaths but you never see a splatter of guts and blood.dulled blade/teeth and contact knockout poison would allow vicious fight scenes that wouldn't scare 7 year olds

Tobias would have been cured by Rachel's kiss instead of the Elimmist.

In movies designed for children, there is very rarely any explicit blood and gore. Nor should there be, honestly. But in The Lion King, the villain is eaten by hyenas while alive and the Good King is trampled by wildebeast. Most fall to their deaths, but very rarely do they reconcile with anyone. I mean heck in Hunchback, we have a song where Frollo talks about guilt and lust. Disney can be more complex than you'd think, if quite a bit Anglocentric. However:

-Comedy relief roles will be increased, like Marco
-The motives of the Yeerks will only ever be implied by their sarcasm and bitterness
-All good characters will receive reasonably happy endings
-They will still play with the nature and cruelty of war, but the effect wouldn't be as strong. However, the Andalites will still be displayed as being arrogant and slighty in the wrong. The Animorphs will explicitly, ham-fistedly discuss that to make it more accessible for younger children
-The Hork-Bajir will have the Noble Savage aspects of their culture played up
-The Yeerks will behave far more like human fascists than usual
-Rachel will be played straight, but Cassie will appear far more timid. After all, Rachel is a "feminist role model"

I've watched a LOT of Disney movies recently. Keep in mind though that this would be "Renaissance Era" Animorphs.

FTFY maybe? :P

The only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.

Alright. Knock-out poison, then. And instead of 'scaring' kids, you're teaching them complete improbabilities. Unless the only morphs they aquired were poisonous.

Improbabilities worse than toys coming to life when you aren't looking?

Ah, see, there is whimsical artistic lisence and teaching factual impossibilites about nature and the animal kingdom. I wouldn't lump these two into the same category. And for the record, toys do that.

Disney is no stranger to fake facts about animals. In the sixties Disney filmed a bunch of chinchilas jumping off a cliff, which they supposedly do every year. In reality, the cameraman forced them off for good footage

Lemmings. :P


Also, it wasn't a cliff (just implied in the shots); it was a low table being rotated slowly in front of the camera.

If Disney portrayed Yeerks and Andalites, likely the Andalites would have disproportionately large eyes, maybe even MLP-esque cutie-marks on the haunches. :P
