Well, damaging and poorly written are two different things.

Damaging is telling your kids to just sit and wait for your problems to be fixed, and if that doesn't happen, complain. (Disney is known for this, though unfairly in my eyes, though Sleeping Beauty is debatable)

Poorly written morals are like in Pokemon: The First Movie, in which the moral is anti-violence, yet that's what the rest of the show advertises. It's not a bad moral, but doesn't belong in something like Pokemon. A good moral for the show would be something like taking in an ugly looking pokemon, which presents the topic of fighting discrimination against people for their looks.

Both types suck, but the latter is just bad story-telling, and the former could be messing up your kid.
