>found out Disney had a weird period where they made several movies about teenage kids in early 1900's America in winter befriending dogs and going on a quest to get money
Surprisingly based by Disney standards, both the movies I saw (White Fang and Iron Will) have the boys packing heat, one gets into a shootout and another pulls a revolver on a Swedish dude in a bar and threatens to blow his brains out for hurting his dog.
