Not a silly movie overall compared to some Disney ones, but in Wreck-It Ralph, when Ralph watches the other kid racers demolish Vanellope's homemade racer, and does nothing to stop it...until one of the kids throws her in the mud (which happens to him multiple times a day in his own game), and later when he dreamcrushes her attempt to enter the race, and in desperation finally destroys the racer he made with her to keep her safe and alive. The screams and crying from the kid are pretty bad for a Disney flick. poo poo, just the fact he can't even look at her after her cart is in a hundred pieces is pretty bad. You still admire his very blank face while he smashes the thing though. Wrecking stuff is all he does, he breaks apartments every day, but this cart is personal.

What I loved about that dreamcrushing scene is that based on what King Candy tells him, he believes he's saving her life. If heroes have to make tough choices then this is most heroic thing Ralph does in the entire movie. After spending the first half of the movie acting like a selfish odler brother, he becomes a father figure. Sure, he's bribed by getting his medal back but he's also acting out of what he believes to be Vanellope's best interests.
