Uhhh, not so fast.
Dumbo was the latest offering. You can tell that it's from a long time ago (1941) by the tone of the dialogue - not that family friendly and antagonistic.
But that's not what raised my eyebrows.
Dumbo apparently has a dream sequence brought on by...something, perhaps the titular acid? Forgive me for not taking better notes - we were travelling and it was on in the van. Some of this stuff is pretty out there.
I'm pretty sure I watched Dumbo when I was younger, but I don't remember any of this.
Apparently there's an elephant that shops at Pottery Barn too!

If you liked that, give Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day a try.
The Heffalumps And Woozles sequence continues Disney's proud tradition of acid-trip nightmares for kids.
This is one reason we don't watch Disney movie's in our house. There are others, but that one is enough.
If I recall... Dumbo was drunk. :)
But hey, we *ARE* a Disney family... so maybe my comments aren't welcome here. :)

There is a quote attributed to one of Disney's nine old men (I forget which) when asked by a Cal Arts student about that sequence, and whether they were taking anything at the time. The response: Hell yeah---Pepto Bismol and Maalox!
