To be fair, Lincoln getting lost or separated isn't necessarily a dark plot inappropriate for kids. Other kids shows like Arthur and Hey Arnold! have had similar episodes (Lost! & Downtown as Fruits) and even Rugrats have had similar plots (albeit, the episodes escape me right now). From a storytelling point of view, Lincoln getting lost in a big city can lead to a pretty cool, lighthearted and endearing adventure.

Lincoln running away on the other hand...it's a bit harder to swallow, but other kids shows have done episodes about kids running away (Owls Well Ends Well for example), so it could probably be done, but it has to be done with grace, no grimdark nonsense.

Personally, I think the movie will probably be about the Louds going on a vacation to a big city, an accident happens and the kids are separated from the parents and the rest of the episode is about both parties trying to find one another.
