Imagine the baffle when they find Disney artifacts around the world. They'll interpret it as being the biggest religion of the 20th and 21st century. Propaganda material in nearly every home. boringsloth.com will run winkbait articles called "Ancient civilization dressed their little girls like princesses to appease mouse god." Neo-neopagans will have shrines dedicated to the goddess Minnie. Megachurches will preach about Walt Disney's resurrection from cryogenics and how Stan Lee was cast from heaven to rule Marvel... And now it is time for me to get out of the shower.

    You've definitely got a point - I haven't seen the movie in a while... does she actually suffer/feel ill or does she just pass out and faint within a half-second of biting it? Because, actually even if you felt ill for a SMALL amount of time before losing consciousness - still fits.

    One must know that Disney didn't create stories. He picked them from Grimms brother, Charles Perrault and others. The original stories were hardly appropriate for kids. They were cruel, violent and very crude.

    This is... frighteningly true. As Mr. P.K. Johnson states below - yes, it would be weird if she felt sick/ill once she took a bite.... HOWEVER... think of this as yourself. You get an offer from a... uhh... WELL known doctor/genius. You are skeptical... and s/he says: "Now it'll make you feel a bit ill... but patience. A slight queasiness, and a deep sleep, but when you wake up - it will ALL be great" - and that is *exactly what happened*

    There is an official 3 part comic that came out recently from Dark Horse Comics that retells Disney's Snow White from her perspective. In this version, once she's bitten into the apple, she realizes that the old woman was actually her stepmother in disguise.

    Among the slightly disturbing shower thoughts is the theory that because no human beings are shown on the Lion King, the film could be set during any era, like a future where humanity has gone extinct and had to become ruthless and cold-blooded cyborgs to survive. Which is both cool and terrifying at the same time.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Another insight is about how Beauty and the Beast would have to go on a monstrous shopping spree after everyone’s turned back into people (let’s just hope they get a discount at IKEA). Or how about the fact that ‘true love’s kiss’ probably means… well, you know... something that leads to princes and princesses being born 9 months later and new Disney movies being made 18 years after that.

    Plus, Queen is not evil per se. Her country is thriving, there is no war and people do not riot against her. She just wants to eliminate the competition to the throne. Something common in middle ages Europe, where the story is, fictionaly, placed.

    Okay, am I the only one who has thought about the fact that - it looks like pretty much all the furniture and dishes in the castle were replaced with transformed humans, right? Or at least a good portion of them. What about that horrible collection of broken furniture in the West Wing? Given the Beast's horrible temper... isn't it actually a collection of dead bodies? It would explain why they're all so afraid of him when he gets angry...

    There are a lot of dark Disney movie theories floating about the internet. They’re interesting, however, they might ruin your favorite films, so read on at your own peril. Digital Spy writes how one fan theory (one that many of you may have already heard before) is that ‘Aladdin’ takes place in a post-apocalyptic future. All because Genie referred to 3rd-century fashion and mentioned that he’d been stuck in his lamp for 10,000 years. If so, what exactly happened to humanity for everything to change so much?

    Because the shoes weren’t made from something like how the pumpkin was her carriage the fairy godmother made them new so in case if she lost one they wouldn’t disappear and the reason nobody couldn’t fit in the shoe was because it was only made for Cinderella to fit her so that way the prince could find her and have a happy life which is how the fairy godmother helped her

    I think it's more a question of social standing: The prince cannot be sent around the whole kingdom to knock on every hovel's door; plus groupies would crowd around for selfies etc, total mess. So some underling HAD to be sent round. Now, how his entire security detail can have been so unobservant is the real mystery.

    Actually, in the original story he repeatedly rapes her and she later gives birth to twins (while still asleep) She wakes up when one of the babies sucks an enchanted splinter out of her finger. The prince goes back to rape her again and, though surprised to see her awake (and a mother), they fall in love. His wife objects (unsurprisingly) so (psychotically) orders the palace cook to kill and make a pie out of the children, which she serves to her husband. (Spoilers: the cook didn't kill the kids.) Yeah, the original story is pretty dark. https://www.mirror.co.uk/film/origins-disneys-best-loved-characters-13891813

    There is mention though in the story that Snow White was 7 years old when the Queen first learned that she was the fairest of them all. We don't know for certain how much time Snow White had spent with the dwarfs either, so for all we know, the prince fell in love with, and married a 7 year old.

    Another fan theory is that Carl from ‘Up’ (a film that was released by Disney, even if it was produced by Pixar) may have been dead all along, while the kid named Russel is supposedly an angel trying to earn its wings. A third theory is that Anna and Elsa’s parents from ‘Frozen’ weren’t lost at sea, but ended up stuck in the jungle, the mother eventually giving birth to a boy whom we grew to know as Tarzan. Do you think such fan theories have any merit to them? What do you think about the unexpected insights into Disney films? What’s your favorite Disney movie moment?

    Other questions: - how can a lion grow healthy eating only insects? - isn't it a form of dictatorship to have one king without opposition (no other predators) and banning the only ones daring to show resistance (the hyena)? - the king and his harem is eating their subjects. Why do they don't seem to care and are even happy to see the future king? - Mufasa is the only male with Scar. What are Simba and Nala to each other then?

    Also fun fact: The Lion King is a copy of a Japanese show called Kimba the White Lion. Disney asked for permission to re-make it, got refused, and came out with the Lion King.

    I wouldn't call it a "copy" since the story is way different, but it definitely retains the influence and some visual elements.

    Tbh that was a legitimate choice. Having everyone speak with an accent would have probably been a bit daunting to listen to. They chose to give an accent to the character that introduces the castle to Belle, i.e. acts a bit like a travel guide.

    This is why mother gothel never truly loved rapunzel if she did she would probably let her play outside for a few minutes and whenever the lanterns came she would probably let her look at them outside although one nice thing she did do for her she was willing to go on a three day trip to get some new paint so rapunzel would stop wanting to see the lanterns and made her favorite soup on special occasions

    Well, she “escapes” because she wants to see the lanterns the kingdom releases every year on her birthday, right? I still think she would have left to see them even if they weren’t on her birthday, because it would be a beautiful thing for her to see. It might have been a different story if the kingdom didn’t celebrate the princess’s birthday. I assume I’m just in an overthinking loop...

    This is one reason that Disney is pushing so hard to extend the length of time before an artistic work is considered public domain, if not for their successes in this area Mickey Mouse could already be used freely by anyone.

    They didn’t reject her for poor training they rejected her because she was a woman and there was a law saying if women tried to fight in war they would be killed like Joan of Arc and Shang decided killing her wasn’t worth it since because she saved his life so he gave her a chance to go home and never mention what she did

    The Lion King is a wildly accurate portrayal of Lions in the wild. There is only one adult male per pride. When he becomes too weak to defend his position others fight to take over. The challenging males could in fact be his brother, nephew, or son. Some credit is due to Scar for merely scaring off Simba because lions in the wild kill any offspring when they take over a new pride to ensure their genetic dominance.

    1. It's not b********y. He's not another animal. He's a human who has an animal-like form, but he can still understand and consent and all that. "B********y" isn't considered a problem because of physical differences so much as mental ones. 2. IT'S NOT STOCKHOLM SYNDROME. Watch Lindsay Ellis' video on this issue, she explains it better than I can, but any sympathy for a captor doesn't immediately equal Stockholm Syndrome. 3. Slave labour? What, the servants? They're stuck in the castle, but presumably when they were human they got paid. They don't have many options right now and nobody objects to taking care of the prince.

    The earliest version I know of "Beauty and the Beast" is "Cupid and Psyche," which was written in the second century AD. The main theme of the story is the union of carnal love with spiritual love. Cupid was not a tot with a bow and arrow. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cupid_and_Psyche

    Also if Pinocchio said "my nose will now grow" It would be a paradox. If his nose grows like he said it would, he would be telling the truth, so it wouldn't have grown. If his nose didn't grow, he would technically be lying, thus making it grow

    Meh, 16 pre 20th Century were legally adults in most countries. She was above and beyond old enough to sign a contract. The question more is, why as a WOMAN could she sign a contract in 1830's Denmark?

    In the original story, when Ariel signs the contract, she not only loses her voice but her new feet cause her excruciating pain - like walking on shards of glass. In the end, she also loses the prince to another woman and she then kills herself (instead of killing him as witch suggests).

    It probably wasn't a widespread problem because it takes a little extra magic to be able to sign a contract using ink and paper underwater.

    In some states, 16 year olds are allowed to do a lot of "adult"-like things

    Triton is not Neptune/ Poseidon. Maybe distant relatives. Also again, given the times, child brides were 100% legal and commonplace.

    I mean... who in the audience looked at that scene and thought "that is a totally legitimate, legally binding contract"? It was a deal with a sea witch. It wasn't like Ursula was going to take Ariel to court if she breached it. And Triton wouldn't have let her sign it if he knew it was happening, so...

    Yeah, they likely just got fused with the furniture.
