Disney and Henson article response

What I Learned

1. I actually did not know who Jim Henson was, and now I know that he is the reason we have The Muppets and Sesame Street.
2. Henson and Walt are pretty similar and brought joy to many people both young and old.
3. Henson's childhood is said to have been impoverished.

My Opinions

1. These two men are/were responsible for great things, whether or not you think kermit and mickey are for little kids.
2. I'm confused as to what it means when it says: " Walt's fairy tales had dark elements; Jim’s were even darker."

What does that sentence mean? Is it talking about the controversial things in disney movies? And are there disturbing things in Jim's works?
ps here is a link to a video of what I mean when I say controversial things in disney movies.
Warning it contains adult stuff.
