During the last decades, the animated have ceased to be exclusively for children as it also becomes part of the adult content and in many cases, the Disney+ catalog gives a good account of it. Most of the plots, despite their simple and humorous stories, have a deeper background than one might suppose. Which allows them to be suitable for the little ones, and at the same time, a more sophisticated audience.
This is a curious point that has allowed various stories to be adapted to a more varied audience. Something that Disney takes into account when creating content that ranges from complex and emotional stories to simpler ones. All united by a common point. The way in which the ability to make people laugh transforms them all into a peculiar style of narrating all kinds of plots.

With one season and 16 episodes, the plot follows Lunella (Diamond White), a thirteen-year-old girl in an extraordinary circumstance.

In its last chapters, the argument reaches a harder and more mature point, which opens the possibility of a second installment.
Dino Ranch
The Cassidy family is like any other, except for the fact that they live with dinosaurs in a time when that is the most common thing. The premise, which is distantly reminiscent of the classic The Flintstonesfocuses on an adventure in which there is no shortage of humor. That, while the characters dedicate efforts — and some clumsiness — to living in the middle of a dangerous place.
But this is not a version for young children of the Jurassic Park saga, although it may seem like it. In reality, it is much more a way to explore responsibility for the environment, fauna and flora, through a children’s scenario. Humor is not lacking and the combination manages to create a world in which Although prehistoric creatures are part of the ecosystem, they must be protected and lovingly cared for.
Something the Cassidys put a fair amount of time and effort into. It might seem that this series relies on its simplicity, but there is also a lot to explore in its ecological and friendly plot. That, of course, in the midst of jokes and pop references that will surely delight adults.

With her delirious sense of humor, Star vs. the forces of evil It seems harmless, until it uses subtle adult satire. Which encompasses sexual awakening and even bisexuality. With word games that wink to pop culture and cinema, very soon this journey will also become a search for youthful identity.

This amusing plot becomes more mocking as Scratch discovers that he forgot what it was like to have human feelings. At the same time, Molly will be amazed to understand that all the acrimony of her new friend has a reason. A plot twist that turns this seemingly childlike series into a kind look at life and love.

Between laughter and jokes, Amphibia travels the unusual terrain of magic, time and transformations when recounting the shocks of ordinary life. A pleasant metaphor that will become more complex, chapter by chapter. Its highest point.
