Why do children's films always paint every conflict as black and white, with an obvious good and bad side?

Any Disney or Pixar movie in the past always has a good character which struggles against some foe by mustering help along the way, which in the end they are victorious from. Why have almost of all of them only presented one side, and if they do show the other side of the story, it is always some trivial wrong which evil-doer obviously is in the wrong for justifying an evil deed which is way out of proportion? Do filmmakers just think their target audience is incapable of dealing with gray areas?

I can't remember the citation, but I've seen research suggesting that very young children (preschoolers?) have a very hard time dealing, cognitively, with complex moral situations. They learn lessons about morality through simplified situations, and black-and-white scenarios with clear moral lessons seem to be the best tool to teach morality.

Perhaps moviemakers just don't adjust their method for older children...?
