2Thomas has decided to talk about the many messages that can be inferred from Disney movies. Princey quickly rises up because he's a Disney fan. Anxiety also pops up, because he also happens to be a Disney fan, but in his case because of the sinister messages he gets from Disney movies. Thomas decides to launch a debate between Princey and Anxiety where he'll tell titles of Disney movies and the others will tell what messages each of them take from each title.

12* FreezeFrameBonus: While Anxiety and Princey are arguing, there's a quick shot of Thomas looking at them and munching popcorn.
13* HiddenDepths: Anxiety reveals that he too is a Disney fan, to which Princey starts laughing at him. Later Princey reveals that, unexpectedly from him, there are also some things that bother him from Disney movies, particularly how hard it is for princes in many of them.
