==Background==

In late 1979, Walt Disney Productions released ''[[wikipedia:The Black Hole|The Black Hole]]'', a science-fiction film that was the studio's first production to receive a PG rating (the company, however, had already distributed its first PG-rated film, ''[[wikipedia:Take Down|Take Down]]''—without the Disney name visible—almost a year before the release of ''The Black Hole''.) Over the next few years, Disney experimented with more PG-rated fare, such as the 1981 film ''[[wikipedia:Condorman|Conderman]]''; 1982's ''[[wikipedia:Tron|Tron]]'' and ''[[wikipedia:Tex|Tex]]'' (which featured scenes of teenagers smoking marijuana) and 1983's ''[[wikipedia:Never Cry Wolf|Never Cry Wolf]]'' (which featured male nudity) and ''[[wikipedia: Trenchcoat|Trenchcoat]]''. The latter film attracted major criticism for including adult themes that were considered inappropriate for a Disney film.<ref>{{cite web
