What happens when you take as many of the [[Franchise/DisneyPrincess Disney Princesses]] (and other characters) as possible and attempt a massive BatFamilyCrossover in the setting of a modern-ish American HighSchool?

An excellent story concept that has been bandied around for years, by [[http://www.deviantart.com/art/Disney-s-Princess-Academy-Concept-Art-01-322530941 Disney executives]] and [[http://www.deviantart.com/art/Disney-High-74840962 fans]] alike, with little to no significant headway made on either front.

What happens when you make that concept into a webcomic, combine it with the brilliant idea of simply re-telling the classic plots of the Disney movies everyone loves a la OnceUponATime, add in a [[LampshadeHanging tongue-in-cheek sense of humor]], a well-paced storyline, a considerable amount of [[ShoutOut Shout Outs]], and the [[AwesomeArt fairly neat artwork]] of a dedicated Disney fangirl?

The ongoing WebComic entitled [[http://morloth88.deviantart.com/art/Disney-High-School-369275091 Disney High School]], by [[http://morloth88.deviantart.com/ Morloth88]].

Set in a modernized AlternateUniverse in which [[Disney/{{Tangled}} Mother Gothel]] and [[Disney/{{TheHunchbackOfNotreDame}} Claude Frollo]] fell in love and [[UnholyMatrimony got married]], the story follows protagonists Rapunzel and Quasimodo, who grew up as siblings and close friends. After [[HomeschooledKids being homeschooled]] for most of their early life, 'Punzel and Quasi are enrolled in a public high school... where they quickly get dragged into the weirdness that goes on in this particular institution.

Hilarity -- plus the clever background re-imaginings of just about every single Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon movie involving humans of some sort -- [[HilarityEnsues Ensues]].

Not to be confused with ''Fanfic/DisneyHigh'', a fanfiction with the same basic premise.
----

!!''Disney High School'' provides examples of:

* AbusiveParents:
** [[TheFundamentalist Frollo]] and [[EvilMatriarch Mother Gothel]], but so far they mostly just seem overly strict/protective rather than outright abusive. At least until [[http://morloth88.deviantart.com/art/Witchcraft-686232128 this]] comic.
** In the series, Hades (who isn't related to Hercules in any way) is portrayed as Meg's uncle/legal guardian, and he's been shown to be a less-than-kind guardian for the poor girl.
** Ursula may be an emotional variant towards Vanessa. And Vanessa seems to be somewhat aware of this, given [[DeathGlare her reaction]] to seeing Ursula arriving to pick her up from school.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Played with--Belle and Ariel walk up to Rapunzel and make her acquaintance in the very first strip, despite Rapunzel's new girl status. However, Vanessa can give Quasi some trouble--but that is quickly mitigated when first Hercules and later Esmeralda, Pocahontas and Tiana, stand up for him.
* AlphaBitch: Vanessa.
* AmbiguousSituation: Apparently, Quasimodo was originally the son of Frollo's housekeeper before she died...but how exactly ''did'' she die?
* [[BadassBookworm Badass Bookworm]]/CuteBookworm: Belle and Rapunzel are each a mixture of the two, with Belle being slightly more badass and Rapunzel leaning toward cute. [[Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire Milo Thatch]] also counts, though, as a background character, he does not see much action at first.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Belle and Adam seem to be in the beginning stages. Adam, at least, recognizes it for what it is, but Belle has no idea what he feels for her...which only makes him even more frustrated.
* BetaCouple: In one strip, Kida casually (and quite effectively!) flirts with Milo as Adam and Meg, tied up in their own romantic drama, look on jealously. Also Aladdin and Jasmine who get together with no drama after Aladdin realizes she's not dating Kuzco.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Platonically, Belle and Milo. Ironically Kida and Adam are another birds of a feather pair and worry Belle and Milo ''aren't'' [[{{GreenEyedMonster}} so platonic.]]
* BigBrotherInstinct: Quasi's very protective of Rapunzel (his sister). Fortunately, though, he's not a [[KnightTemplarBigBrother Knight Templar]]. Their parents, on the other hand...
* BigManOnCampus: Hercules' EstablishingCharacterMoment is when he makes a point of befriending Quasi just after Vanessa and her friends tease him. He has also gathered quite a coterie of guys who are just as awesome as he is, who often take on this role themselves.
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The main trio of Rapunzel, Belle, and Ariel.
* BrainyBrunette: Belle, Jane, Esmerelda, Jane and Tiana.
* CampStraight: [[Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove Kuzco]]--[[AmbiguouslyGay we think]].
* CannotSpitItOut: Ariel is so smitten with Eric that [[CallBack she can't even speak in his presence]], much less sing.
* CloudCuckooLander: Ariel walks around with forks in her hair. That is all.
* CompositeCharacter: Visually, Adam is one [[UpToEleven with himself]]. Obviously, there was no way to include his Beast form in a HighSchool AU, so the author took his post-transformation looks and simply made it a lot scruffier.
** DecompositeCharacter: While the author was a little unsure about it, [[https://morloth88.deviantart.com/art/Mother-of-Pride-702932890 Ursula ultimately shows up as Vanessa's mom]] [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid instead of them just being the same person like in the original movie]]--[[SitcomArchNemesis and Gothel appears to have some kind of rivalry with Ursula.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Belle is the queen of this trope, with Quasi being a close second, Adam not far behind and [[WorldOfSnark everyone else having their moments]].
* DistractedByTheSexy: In P.E., every girl gets this reaction when Shang goes through the obstacle course...
** NotDistractedByTheSexy: Except for Merida, who just facepalms at the other girls' reactions.
* {{Fanservice}}: Acknowledged by WordOfGod with the strip "Changing Room," which (as its name suggests) takes place in the boys' locker room.
** In "Move It," there's actually an arrow that says "Fanservice" pointing at Shang as he lifts his shirt to wipe sweat from his face.
* FiveManBand: The Snarfblats, a popular BoyBand at the school:
** TheLeader: Flynn, as lead singer.
** TheLancer: Eric, as lead guitar.
** TheSmartGuy: Kuzco, on the keyboard.
** TheBigGuy: Aladdin, on the drums.
** TheChick: Naveen, as both bass and back-up singer.
* FriendToAllChildren: Adam plays with [[Disney/LiloAndStitch Lilo]], [[Disney/WreckItRalph Vanellope]] and [[Disney/TheRescuers Penny]] for a PetTheDog moment.
* TheFundamentalist: Frollo, of course, to the point that he forbids Rapunzel from doing a ventriloquist act and Quasimodo from helping with magic tricks in the school talent show, claiming that it "promotes the devil's work."
* {{Funetik Aksent}}: Merida has her Scottish accent in this fanfiction.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Adam and Kida fighting in [[http://morloth88.deviantart.com/art/Eccentric-393862917 this strip]].
** Aladdin [[DopeSlap dope-slapping]] Eric [[http://morloth88.deviantart.com/art/Stolen-chance-598458463?q=gallery%3AMorloth88%2F40412877&qo=0 over learning he dated Vanessa]] while Belle, Ariel and Rapunzel have a collective HeroicBSOD over this development.
* GirlPosse: Vanessa, with Cinderella's stepsisters, [[Disney/{{Cinderella}} Anastasia and Drizella Tremaine]], as her {{Beta Bitch}}es.
* GivenNameReveal: It takes until the 49th strip for anyone InUniverse to call Adam by his name; WordOfGod says she was trying to avoid using it because of its [[{{Fanon}} questionable status]].
* GreenEyedMonster:
** Like Ariel, Vanessa has a crush on Eric, but she tries scaring Ariel away from him by claiming that Eric doesn't like [[CloudCuckooLander Cloud Cuckoo Landers]].
** Adam has a crush on Belle, and when Belle spends some time with Milo at a concert, it takes all of Kida's effort to keep him from killing the poor kid.
** Aladdin is quietly jealous of Kuzco, because he thinks Kuzco is dating Jasmine. He is very relieved to learn that that is ''not'' the case
* HasAType: Jim has a thing for [[HeroesWantRedheads redheads]], apparently.
* HomeschooledKids: Of the [[TheFundamentalist religious fundamentalist]] type most likely, given that Claude Frollo is one of the homeschooling parents in question. However, Rapunzel and Quasi are refreshing subversions to the stereotype--both are fairly intelligent and well-educated, and while Quasi is a card-carrying {{Nerd}} and Rapunzel [[NoSocialSkills hits Flynn nearly every time he flirts with her]], both quickly adapt to the new school conditions and make good friends.
* HoneyTrap: Meg's Uncle Hades wants her to get close to Hercules to get insider information about his father's company, which is Hades' competitor.
* HospitalHottie: One comic reveals that '''''[[Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit Jessica Rabbit]]''''', of all people, is the SchoolNurse! Of course, she's smart enough to know the effect she has on the boys and [[http://morloth88.deviantart.com/art/Hello-Nurse-659533363 plans accordingly]].
* HotLibrarian: The members of the book club (Belle, Esmeralda, Jane, Milo) all volunteer as library aides, though Esmeralda is the only one we've seen working there so far.
* {{Hypocrite}}: WordOfGod actually comments on the fact that Adam's two best/closest friends are both girls, despite how much he hates Milo for hanging out with Belle.
* {{Knight Templar Parent}}s: They ''are'' Gothel and Frollo, after all.
* IllegalGuardian: Gothel kidnapped Rapunzel and passed her off as her own daughter. Frollo adopted the son of his dead housekeeper, presumably out of guilt that the boy was alone...but there are no details on just ''how'' his housekeeper died.
* ImaginaryLoveTriangle: It takes Aladdin a while to realize that Kuzco's playful flirting with Jasmine [[JustFriends doesn't actually indicate]] that the two of them are dating.
* InnocentCohabitation: Adam and Belle's families are close friends, and Belle often stays at Adam's house when her dad's away on business trips. Mind, "innocent" is not at all synonymous with "peaceful" in [[BelligerentSexualTension this case]].
* InnocentlyInsensitive:
** Kuzco and Quasi's first meeting:
--->'''Kuzco:''' WOW cool costume, that mask is amazing! Are you in the drama club?\\
'''Quasimodo:''' No, it's my face... I look like this.\\
'''Kuzco:''' [[OhCrap Oh shi]]... I'm sorry! I didn't... man I'm sorry!\\
'''Quasimodo:''' [[TheWoobie It's okay, it's not the first time]]...
** A thankfully less severe case: when Herc first meets Quasi, he bends down to his eye level. As the author herself noted, most short people just find this more embarrassing.
* {{Irony}}: The Stabbington Brothers appear very briefly as police officers.
* ItsQuietTooQuiet: How Frollo and Gothel eventually figure out that Quasi and Rapunzel sneaked out of the house to go to a concert.
* JerkJock: Gaston, natch. Unfortunately for him, he tries to hit on Megara...who [[GroinAttack doesn't take kindly to such treatment]].
* LIsForDyslexia: Belle finds out Adam is dyslexic while working on an English assignment with him. [[{{CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming}} She offers to read the book to him]], as a carry over scene from when Belle teaches the Beast to read again in the film.
* LovableAlphaBitch: Jasmine and Charlotte. Kuzco is sort of a male example.
* LovableJock: Hercules, Aladdin, Phoebus and recently Quasi are all on the football team.
* LoveDodecahedron: It wouldn't be a HighSchool Drama without one or two. Drumroll, please:
** Quasi has a crush on Esmeralda, who is currently happily in a relationship with Phoebus, who is conveniently on the same football team as Quasi. Frollo's not in the picture this time, which is probably because his wife keeps him on a [[HappilyMarried very]] [[UnholyMatrimony tight]] [[WomanScorned leash]] (plus Esmeralda's technically a high school student in this AU).
** Ariel and Vanessa both have a crush on Eric, with Vanessa doing her best to intimidate any and all competition for his affections. Eric has a crush on the mysterious girl he heard auditioning for the school choir, but he doesn't know what she looks like (and Ariel's too chicken to tell him it was her). And finally, [[Disney/TreasurePlanet Jim Hawkins]] [[CrossoverShip has a crush on Ariel]], but of course she's too oblivious to see.
** Aladdin likes Jasmine, [[AllLoveIsUnrequited who takes some time to realize he exists]]. Meanwhile, [[Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove Kuzco]] has a long-standing acquaintance with Jasmine due to their parents' business partnership, and he keeps calling her his girlfriend because it annoys her and [[ForTheLulz he thinks that's funny]]. Eventually Aladdin and Jasmine get together.
** Adam has a [[ChildhoodFriends Childhood Friendship]] with Belle, and his feelings are starting to develop into love. However, Belle is [[ObliviousToLove completely clueless about his feelings]]. She has a [[BirdsOfAFeather friendly relationship]] with Milo Thatch, who is himself oblivious to the fact that Kida is in love with him (and that she's often preventing Adam from killing him). Not to mention Kida and Adam are PlatonicLifePartners who hang out together a lot.
* {{Meganekko}}: Belle pulls this off very nicely.
* TheMissusAndTheEx: Hera doesn't like Alcmene at all.
* MyBelovedSmother: According to WordOfGod, Gothel ''did'' steal Rapunzel in this universe, so her motivation for keeping Rapunzel at home was probably much the same as it was in canon.
* MySisterIsOffLimits:
-->'''Quasi:''' Flynn! What are you doing sneaking around in our house, with my sister, no less?\\
'''Flynn:''' It's nothing like that! ''[in an undertone]'' Sadly.\\
''[later, when Rapunzel is out of earshot]''\\
'''Quasi:''' ''[grabs Flynn's tie and pulls him down to eye level]'' By the way, Casanova, don't think I didn't hear your "sadly" just now. She's not the only one with a [[MegatonPunch mean swing]] around here.
* NoSocialSkills: Rapunzel has obviously been raised to think of sexuality (and anything associated with it) as a sin (we're lookin' at '''''you''''', Frollo). Therefore, when she still barely knows Flynn, she interprets his mild flirtation as sexual harassment and smacks him in the face with a book. Eventually she grows out of this, but not before much fun has been had from Flynn's pain.
* ObliviousToLove: Belle is utterly unaware how much Adam likes her, and that his snarking is often a clumsy attempt at flirting and he's jealous of her friendship with Milo. Eric is also oblivious about Ariel's feelings. Jasmine starts out as this about Aladdin, but they get an offscreen RelationshipUpgrade later on.
* ParentalSubstitute: Frollo and Gothel toward Quasimodo and Rapunzel--Quasimodo's mother is dead and the author leaves it intentionally unclear as to how she died, while Rapunzel, like in canon, is implied to be an abductee. Yzma appears to be this for Kuzco as well.
* PassiveAggressiveKombat: Ursula partakes in this with Gothel in her debut appearance in the comic.
* PlatonicLifePartners: Adam, Kida and Meg. Belle and Milo. Jasmine and Kuzco.
* PretentiousLatinMotto: ''Somnia Fiat Vera'', meaning "[[Disney/{{Pinocchio}} Dreams Come True]]."
* ReadingIsCool: Belle (obviously), Rapunzel, Ariel and the other members of the book club Jane, Milo and Esmeralda.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Quasi and Rapunzel were raised together as stepsiblings/adopted siblings.
** Hades is Meg's uncle and guardian. {{Inverted}}, however, in that he is unrelated to Zeus or Hercules.
** Somewhat [[TruerToTheText closer to mythology]], Hercules is the son of Zeus and Alcmene, who in this AU are divorced and have remarried Hera and Amphitryon, respectively.
** One bonus page reveals that Ariel and Hercules are cousins, which makes sense when you remember that her father, Triton, is based on a Greek god.
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Subverted. Jasmine insists that Kuzco is not her boyfriend because [[CaptainObvious Kuzco is not her boyfriend]]. Nor will he ever BE her boyfriend. Nor is he looking to be her boyfriend - he just likes annoying her ForTheLulz. Naturally, Aladdin assumes that [[WrongGenreSavvy Kuzco is indeed Jasmine's boyfriend]] and they're just playing the trope straight.
* SnarkToSnarkCombat: Belle and Adam.
* SplashOfColor: In [[https://morloth88.deviantart.com/art/No-talent-709385580 this strip]], when Adam and Belle dance.
* StageMom: Ursula might be this to her daughter, Vanessa--in Ursula's much-awaited first appearance in the comic series, she sees Vanessa's copy of the talent show flier, and tries convincing Vanessa to compete in the school talent show, telling her daughter that"[you're] far too talented not to compete" in it. (Gothel then makes her kids compete, but they already wanted to.)
* StudentCouncilPresident: Tiana and Kuzco both run, Tiana wins with 83% to his 17%[[note]]the author had the readers vote to determine the results[[/note]] because--as everyone tells Kuzco--she'd actually do a good job at it.
* ThrowTheBookAtThem: Whenever Rapunzel feels uncomfortable with Flynn's flirting, she smacks him with the nearest blunt object on hand...which is usually the latest book Belle has recommended.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Phoebus is friends with Hans and Gaston. ''Why'' is a good question, since even he seems to realize that they're both kind of dicks.
* TroubledButCute: Adam.
* [[TheUglyGuysHotDaughter The Ugly Woman's Hot Daughter]]: Ursula and Vanessa are this, respectively--[[https://morloth88.deviantart.com/art/Mother-of-Pride-702932890 just look at them together in Ursula's debut appearance in the comic series.]]
* UnholyMatrimony: It starts with Frollo and Mother Gothel getting married, making Quasiomodo and Rapunzel adopted/stepsiblings.
* UsefulBook: Rapunzel's books are certainly useful for [[ThrowTheBookAtThem clocking Flynn in the face]].
* VisualPun: There are few scattered throughout some parts, sometimes with the characters outfits making allusions to the films' lines and such.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Kuzco and Jasmine seem to have a bit of this.
* WhatDoesHeSeeInHer: The reaction of every one of Eric's friends when they find out that he's seeing Vanessa.
* [[WickedStepmother Wicked Stepparents]]:
** A double-dose for poor Rapunzel and Quasi, given Gothel and Frollo's past history. Fortunately, both seem to be of the [[MyBelovedSmother of the insanely overprotective evil]] rather than sadistic.
** Presumably, Cinderella and Snow White have the more traditional versions at home. Lady Tremaine makes a cameo in one of the comics, seemingly confirming this.
** Yzma appears to be one toward Kuzco, raising him in his parents' stead and evidently not being happy about it.
** Subverted with Hera, who is Hercules' stepmother in this version. She loves Herc, though she does ''not'' like his birth mother (granted that's more due to her being her husband's ex than anything; doubles as a borderline literal MythologyGag).
* YouMustBeCold: Herc with Meg, in [[http://morloth88.deviantart.com/art/Fruitful-search-411020867 this strip]].
