Yeah, Jim Henson wanted the Muppets to appeal to adults as much as kids. (They used to advertise for coffee, and such.) In fact, he was actually scared Sesame Street would give his Muppets a “just for kids” stigma, so he rarely let his usual Muppet characters appear on it regularly, besides Kermit.  
He also wanted to name one of his Muppet TV specials “Sex & Violence,” (a joke on that trend of TV at the time) though censors got upset over that.
 
Ironically, though he didn’t want much exposure for his involvement in the original 1990 TMNT movie, (the final project he worked on) and apparently disliked it, because he thought it was too violent.  
(Frankly, I thought that TMNT movie was more tongue-in-cheek and “kid friendly” then Labyrinth, and the Dark Crystal were.)

@Beau Skunky  
Yes, I know there is; I even mentioned Tom & Jerry.
 
Muppets on the other hand; Jim Henson wanted to make adult content, so you’re not confusing with that? I haven’t watched Muppets myself.
 
The Labyrinth was rated PG in USA, which is relevant as MLP is produced for a US company.

@Liggliluff  
I dunno, I’ve seen worse in other kids/family shows. (Like the notoriously squicky Squidward toenail bit.)
 
Heck, the Muppets are considered pretty family-friendly, but they used to be considered quite edgy back in the ’50s-‘80s, featuring stuff like Muppets’ heads exploding, or getting eaten whole by Muppet monsters, and such. (Heck, “Labyrinth” had a Muppet pissing.)  
Heck, even some old Sesame Street episodes & bits from the ‘80s or earlier are considered inappropriate for kids nowadays. (Yet, having SpongeBob’s flesh ripped off, and such is perfectly fine.)

@ABronyAccount  
That’s not showing the body being split. It’s surely implying it, but it’s obscured by the box.
 
I think you have better examples in Tom & Jerry, but that kind of violence isn’t produced for kids nowadays?

@Liggliluff  
 
Kids shouldn’t be exposed to this kind of realism!

@Beau Skunky  
There’s a difference of the entire skeleton crumbling to dust, and just a section being broken.
 
Same difference if a whole character is turned into dust, or cut in half. First is more cartoony, and the second is more realistic.

this is nothing compared to what Hanna barbera did

this is like total recall x-ray.

That not a bad think?  
Old acme cartoons had anvils fall on a character and shatter them

Suggestive? Not sexually.

What has happened is that Equestria girls during 5 years ago not have broken bones images or violence similar,but make a escalation since 2018 “MLP: Equestria Girls Season 1 - ‘Constructive Criticism’ “ with applejack did not careful with the hammer.

Not really. I mean they had one in one of the early episodes of Rugrats.

@Toyminator900  
I remember an old cartoon, (might’ve been one by Tex Avery, I can’t remember) where a Papa Bear is trying to teach his bratty kid to kick a football, but the li’l turd replaced the football’s inside with a heavy stone. Then when Papa Bear kicks it, he freezes in place as an X-ray visual appears showing his entire skeleton crumbles to dust. Then he wabbles up & down as he walks aferwards as if he’s boneless.
 
So this “edgy” gag has been around loooong before Equestria Girls, or Mortal Kombat did it.

I’ve always known that Equestria Girls is not for kids.
 
Never let kids watch this show.

If you find broken bones “suggestive,” then, well, you do you, man.

My Little Pony is WAY WAY better than Spongebob Lamepants anyway.

FATALITY!

Better than that thing in spongebob with squidward’s toenail

lmao, this is like TV-Y7 level of content

this is what happens when you born in the 2000’s

well i like previous writer than now.

Just remember, depictions of violence and injury are fine. It’s anything that could be called sexuality that is bad for kids.

I’m not sure whether this or Twilight’s heart breaking in “Father Knows Beast” was more painful.

I guess it’s the times
 
But I’m pretty sure there were more than broken bones in old cartoons v:
