Ah Disney...the things I could tell you.... There's a lot of books about the studio and the man, and it wasn't all mice and glass slippers.

As to a few things already mentioned:
Blood is rarely shed in a Disney movie, while violence is not taboo, that was to an extent. This is why when Disney was looking to purchase Studio Ghibli rights they put out Princess Mononoke in hopes that it would be too bloody for the company's taste. That being said, you'll occasionally see a bit of blood in a few other Disney films, but not much, a cut, a scratch, maybe a drop.

The other thing to remember is that Disney movies are all based on fairytales, and they often have to 'dumb them down' to make the really children's stories. Cinderella? The step sisters cut off part of their feet to fit the shoe, and birds remove their eyes on the way to the wedding. Snow White? The prince is a bit of a necrophiliac in that story. Sleeping Beauty? A kiss isn't what woke that princess. Little Mermaid? No happy time with ehr prince, she's sea foam at his wedding. So, really, the stories are all a bit...modified by the time Disney adds in it's own bit of twisted.

Lyrics, yeah, Hellfire is one of the more risqué songs out there. Even when I watched it I was like O.O Wow disney said 'hell'.

I also love that Disney's not so subtle issue with women is always manifested by a dead disney mom. It's a rare disney movie with a living mom/queen.
I've gone to look for myself, if I should return before I get back keep me here.
