-I mean sleeping beauty was about raping a corpse in the woods. Though they did cut that part out.
A lot of Disney movies have very dark elements if you stop to think about it.
-Hunchback of notre dame also had a very rapey storyline iirc, not all of which got left on the cutting room floor. We also ctually get to see someone almost burnt alive (more than once) in that movie, and there's off-screen torture, and on-screen torture (albeit with rotting vegetables). A woman is run down to her death trying to save her baby, whom her murderer than raises to be a prisoner, devoted to him.
-Lion King deals with murdering your own brother, his son, and enslaving his wife and all the women in the area, forcing them to serve you. In the original storyline he also attempts to force Nala to marry him
-Snow white deals with cutting the beating heart out of a woman
-Fox and the Hound - one childhood friend is encouraged to hunt down and kill the other so his master can hang his skin on the wall

-Aladdin - girl is condemned to suffocate to death in sand after trying to use her body to distract her captor long enough to escape a lifetime condemned to be his slave while he torments her father and tries (repeatedly) to kill her fiancé. Earlier in the movie she almost has her hand amputated for giving a starving child an apple

And let's not even get started on Dumbo and pinocchio (<- though, "fun" fact, pinocchio was originally a cartoon that revolved almost entirely around literally torturing the puppet boy in any and every way possible on a weekly basis)
