The Friends on the Other Side/High Council WMG was becoming so AWESOME that it got its own page that can be found here~
Everything's been moved into folders. Two movie crossovers are WMG's between two things, like two movies or "The Disney Animated Canon and Whatever'', as long as it doesn't list every movie in the DAC. Same idea for the three movie crossovers. Massive Multiplayer Crossovers are more than three crossovers. If the movie you want to WMG for doesn't have a folder, please feel free to make one. Currently the movies are in alphabetical order, and it would be nice if (to keep the page clean), that could continue.
The WMGs
- According to computer trivia game the D show, the Beast's real name is Adam.
- I remember reading somewhere that Snow White's prince's name is Ferdinand.
- Lest we forget Professor Padraic Ratigan, from The Great Mouse Detective. His first name wasn't even MENTIONED in the film, though it was revealed in a non-Disney book.
- And at Cinderella's wedding, the party banners at the reception probably read "Cindy + Chad."
- The films never identify either prince as being named "Charming". Word of God says only the one from Cinderella is named that.
- Funnily enough, there is a Brazilian book, and later a Live-Action Adaptation of said book, which explicitly stated all of the princes were brothers, making all of the princesses sisters-in-law.
- Now that, I have to find. Anyone know what it's called?
- That explains the short film Ben And Me too!
- Please, don't bother explaining "Ben And Me." Just shudder and try to forget.
- And maybe even Cinderella.
- Don't forget about Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers. And The Aristocats, which has a mouse character named Roquefort who dresses like Sherlock Holmes. And thus, by extension, any film that has cat characters, and probably dog characters too. Heck, let's just go with the first WMG on this page and save ourselves some time.
- Roquefort is either Basil's Mycroft or a descendant.
- And Ratatouille. Make it work!
- Makes sense. After all "Be Our Guest" is sung in the same tune as "Les Poissons".
- Triton is in fact the name of Poseidon's son in Real Li-er, Real Mythology, who is also a god of the sea. In any case, Triton's trident is of course THE trident of Poseidon, and its powers are of divine origin. (It was probably forged by Hephaestus himself.) Nice family heirloom!
- Not to mention in the musical, it is specified that Triton and Ursula are children of Poseidon.
- The series states that Poseidon is his father and Neptune is his grandfather, making Triton and Hercules cousins and Ariel the first cousin-once-removed of Hercules in all technicalities.
- When Elisa is put on trial by the New Olympians, a minotaur named Taurus mentions how his ancestor was beaten by a "human hero" with much distaste on the word "hero". In the animated series of Disney's Hercules, Hercules fights with a minotaur in one episode. This minotaur and Taurus (and Proteus impersonating Taurus' father) were all voiced by Michael Dorn.
- The Friends on the Other Side weren't just satisfied with taking Facilier's soul - they decided to curse his descendants as well. Hence why Oscar is the Chew Toy in his own universe.
- Oscar seems to have taken the brunt of the curse, since Suga Mama and Bobby don't appear suffer in anyway. Though Suga Mama's "curse" is having a son she doesn't like or wanted (Oscar), and Bobby's singing not going anywhere (though he doesn't seem to care).
- Except Lewis' mother has a facial structure similar to Franny Robinson.
- Still possible that Syndrome is the father, and his unnamed mom dropped him off there to protect him.
- Scar burns alive in The Lion King, and cannot be defeated by Hercules, as the film suggests. Also, the Nemean Lion appears in the Hercules animated series as the child of Echidna, instead of Scar's canon mother, Uru.


- Professor Porter did mention an Aunt Isabelle.
- If we assume Cindy's prince is descended from Aurora and Phillip, it might explain a few coincidental similarities between the stories. Apparently rebelliously wanting to marry for love instead of politics (and wanting grandchildren when you are older) runs in the family. And the similar taste in women. And if we then assume that Cinderella is her prince's Perfect Match and destined soulmate, it opens up a lot of interesting possibilities:
- Why is Cinderella tormented by an evil woman who is voiced by Eleanor Audley? Because Lady Tremmaine is the reincarnation of Maleficent, and subconsciously wants revenge. So she seeks to make sure that the descendent of her enemies, Aurora and Phillip, never meets his soulmate Cinderella and makes her life a living hell. Lady Tremainne and Maleficent have very similar mannerisms as well, and both possess animal familars.
- And why does Cinderella suddenly have a Fairy Godmother at this point in her life, when she was certainly miserable many times before? Why, because the Fairies are still looking after Aurora/Phillip's family, and want to ensure a happy ending. At first it looked like the prince would meet Cindy naturally at the ball, but when her dress was unfairly destroyed, supernatural intervention was required.
- Looks like the blue fairy won in the end!
- There is actually an Indonesian movie where all of this happens, but in reverse!
Sleeping Beauty is portrayed as the daughter of Cinderella and her Prince, and the wicked witch who cursed the princess is Cinderella's stepmother. The fairies who helped Cinderella are Sleeping Beauty's guardians.
- There is actually an Indonesian movie where all of this happens, but in reverse!
Evidence:
Both Beauty and the Beast and Cinderella are set in 18th century France. Take a look at the dress styles between the two films. There are a few differences, but a LOT of similarities. The styles in Beauty and the Beast are a little older, but that is explained by Belle living in a "poor, provincial town" where the newest styles would take a long time to reach and Cinderella lives in Paris, where the latest fashion trends would begin. The styles in the Beast's castle are even older, because they're from 21 years ago, before the curse. If you look at Cinderella's father from the beginning of Cinderella, he's wearing clothes that are very similar to the Beast's ballroom look.The Beast being a younger son makes sense because otherwise him being cursed would create a national crisis.
- Via trade and/or war and pillaging?
- That's quite some plastic surgery for the Renaissance - not only facial structure, but skin color and eye color? Wow! Jossed by the opening monologue of Beauty and the Beast, where it specifies that the time limit for the Beast to fall in love is "his twenty-first year," often interpreted as his birthday.
- His 21st year could easily be interpreted as being a beast for 21 years. And maybe he's actually regenerating rather than simply being immortal, in a similar fashion as the doctor?
- Also, you've got the fathers mixed up. Stefan is Aurora's father, and Hubert is Phillip's.
- This also makes this a four-movie crossover, with "The Sword In The Stone"
- Kingdom Hearts. Duh.
- Nah, that's an Alternate Universe of the DAC universe.
- What about ''House of Mouse?
- It's an Inn Between the Worlds.
- Isn't it obvious? That takes place in Toon Town in the year 2000!
- But Toon Town has Looney Tunes toons as well- is the House of Mouse segregated or something?
- I'm fairly sure the series says House of Mouse is a "club". If it's a private club, the owners could set whatever membership requirements they want (and thus determine who may eat and watch cartoons there and who may not).
- Who Framed Roger Rabbit IS transparently about racism and segregation, after all.
- What with Enchanted, it follows from this that there exist various portals between that universe and ours.
- That explains how The Genie knows about our pop culture.
- And how the alley cats in The Aristocats know about psychedelic jazz and '60s slang despite living in 1910 Paris.
- And then there was also that Aladdin/Hercules crossover.
- We know about them because the portals were discovered during our early explorations of space. Von Braun told Disney how to access them when they made those space shows back in the 1950s. Man, this WMGing is fun.
- It would logically follow that Disney and Co. set up several of these portals for ordinary people to enter — the theme parks. Not wanting to give his company secrets away, he made these portals imperfect or looped them every few minutes. To us, we see the new universes fold over their time and again, giving a repetitive ghost image of woman whacking pirates with brooms or a rhino goring adventurers. To them, we appear the same way, as a car of ghosts passing the spot time and again. Because the tampering is imperfect, some areas remain stagnant (such as the Jungle Cruise, relatively unchanged since it started) and others are in a constant state of flux (notably, Haunted Mansion, probably given ectoplasmic interference from that particular universe, and the Carousel of Progress, which uses the flux as its main attraction.). Some rides (such as monorails and trains) have flux capacitors on board, explaining how they can go from 1910 middle America, to 1870 western America and 1990s era cartoon land stations in one trip.
- It seems more likely that they see us as either one train of people appearing several times throughout their life/the event, and then reappear later in their time only when we go through the next portal. That, or they don't see us as human at all, just caterpillar-like dense, blurry objects that appear occasionally due to the effect of seeing thousands of ghosts going through the same path at the same time for the same couple of their minutes. That is, thanks to every group passing them at the same time from their perspective, and either erasing all previous groups from the timeline or joining all other groups, past and present.

- The Disney World consists of the main Disney characters featured in various television series. Characters and associated characters include Mickey, Donald, Goofy and Pluto; each have their own associates and locales, just as Spiderman tends to stick with Spiderman characters while the X-men stick with X-men characters.
- Alternate continuities have their own separate universe and are not restricted by older continuity. This includes an alternate Junglebook (TaleSpin), an alternate DuckTales (Quack Pack), an alternate Donald Duck where Donald doesn't abandon the idea of being a superhero (Paperinik, PKNA, and PK Reboot), a Carl Barks/Don Rosa-only version of Duckburg ignoring everything else, a dimension where each animated movie is left intact with no sequel or TV series (maybe), and a version where every sequel and TV series counts.
- There is a separate universe where the original animated movie never has a crossover and never cameos anywhere else, and a universe where the characters do cross over. Taking a character from their home dimension creates a separate timeline where they were removed, leaving the original untouched.
- Live-action movies are part of the multiverse, including Song of the South, Pete's Dragon, and any other world where an animated character can interact with a live-action character.
- Live-action adaptations such as 101 Dalmatians have their own dimension but are unaware of their animated counterpart.
- In order for an animated movie character to appear alongside a Disney World character, it must hop dimensions to either Earth or the Disney World, making a crossover appearance such as Who Framed Roger Rabbit or Kingdom Hearts, which are conduit dimensions where two or more universes can connect.
- Toon Town is a dimensional conduit; parts of it exist on Disney World Prime and on Earth in several theme parks, allowing interdimensional travel. It also allows travel from the Warner Bros. universe, Woody Woodpecker, and the Bonkers Earth and Bonkers toon world (which is likely its original world). It may include Toontown Online.
- It's unknown if these dimensions resemble Earth from being a variation of our Earth, or if our Earth is a variation of one or more of them.
- Also, Kim Possible, the Recess kids, Jake Long and The Proud Family all appeared on Lilo & Stitch: The Series.
- Is Prince Charming a redhead? Lazarus is.
- Ever hear of hair dye?
- The Charmings could just be descendants of one another. Ariel most likely married the great grandson (at least) of the Charming from Sleeping Beauty.
- Sleeping Beauty's prince was named Phillip. Snow White's might have been a Charming.
- Phillip Charming?
- Sleeping Beauty's prince was named Phillip. Snow White's might have been a Charming.
- Has it ever occurred to anybody that "Charming" is a very common name in the Disney Verse, ala Smith? Or that since they are all medieval Europe Monarchs, they're probably all related?
- Word of God says only Cinderella's prince is Prince Charming. Aurora's is Phillip and Ariel's is Eric. Snow White's prince is officially just The Prince (right down to his signature in the parks.) The Beast is unnamed. Some people like to think he's called Adam, but Word of God (as well as the parks) says he has never been named.
- Fanon has it that Snow White prince's name is Ferdinand.
- Also, none of the princes are ever actually identified in the movies as being named "Charming" (unless you count Snow White saying "everyone could see that the prince was charming", but she could've been using the adjective).

fic listed below is true. All of it.This fic. For those of you for whom this is tl;dr, this
◊ image.
- Most of those characters have unofficial or not-widely-known official names. The Queen from Sleeping Beauty is Leah, the Beast is Adam, the Prince from Snow White is Ferdinand, the Evil Queen is Grimhilde, Cinderella's Prince is literally named Charming.
- Really? Cool~ The "artwork" is all based off of what the fic calls them, though... Um, curious, but where did you get that info? (Is genuinely curious).
- Various Disney books and interviews, which I don't think I'll be able to compile. If you look up the names individually, I'm sure you'll be able to find their sources. The only one I distinctly remember is we get "Leah" from one of Sleeping Beauty's children's books. Adam and Charming are very official, Grimhilde I think is a fan nickname, and Ferdinand is the name I think they called him in development, but it's not the official name (they just say "The Prince").
- Thank you~ That is so cool! XD
- Sleeping Beauty's name is definitely not Leah. Watch the movie. Her name is Aurora. She also goes by Briar Rose.
- Not Sleeping Beauty/Aurora/Briar Rose- her mother. ^_^
- Cinderella's Prince is not really named Charming (or at best it's a recent Retcon): the 1971 TV special Disney on Parade gives us his name as "His Royal Highness Prince Otto August Ferdinand".
- Really? Cool~ The "artwork" is all based off of what the fic calls them, though... Um, curious, but where did you get that info? (Is genuinely curious).
- Those who have to make a token appearance in his wife's movie has to buy the next round before they leave.
- Simba and Nala, for the Tomoe Nage
which gave Nala her edge when she was pinning Simba, and which Simba used to defeat Scar.
- Woody, for the O Goshi
which he uses in the Black Friday Reel to throw Buzz out the window.

- Aladdin takes place around 1000 AD, roughly the same time as the Crusades. Jasmine and Aladdin could have escaped into Africa, where they, due to royal connections, would have been well off enough for status. Between 600-800 years down the line, their descendants went to America and Tiana comes from there.
- The earliest European princess is Merida, at around 800 AD to 1200 AD. Down her line comes Aurora. After all, Merida lives in Scotland and Aurora is supposedly France (Britain in the remake).
- Sleeping Beauty or her children or grandchildren had at least one girl (in those days, boys inherited, girls went to foreign princes) who became Snow White's mother or grandmother in Germany.
- Snow White lives about two hundred years after Aurora, in the 1500s AD. Down her line, through close neighbours, we get Cinderella's prince (northern France), the Beast (Provenience France), Eric (Denmark) and Rapunzel (Germany).
- Another theory says that Rapunzel is Elsa and Anna's cousin, but they might be related, since Norway is close historically and geographically to Germany.
- The real Pocahontas had a child, so we can assume this one had children as well. Due to the English, French and Spanish spending the 1500s to 1700s AD fighting over become North America, those descendants could be bargained off in marriage, one of which may end in a Spanish-controlled country (i.e., Maldonia).
- Another may go off to a French marriage, descended from Cinderella or Belle.
- Mulan is impossible to fit, but the new princess Moana might be related to Lilo and Nani.
This is how a simmer friend and I see it Snow White is the grandmother of King Stefan. Aurora and Phillip have two boys one is the father of Prince Edward well the other is the father of Prince Charming. Prince Edward is the father of Prince Eric. Who is the great-grandfather of Prince Hans. Prince Adam is the maternal cousin of Prince Charming making Belle&Cinderella cousin-in-laws. Belle&the Beast are the grandparents of Elsa&Anna's dad and Rapunzel's true mom. Eugene and the two thieves from the Tanged movie are half-brothers by two different peasant women of Hans&his 12 older brothers. We also have a theory that the Step-moms in the movies (Queen G, Lady T, and Narcissa) got taught magic by Maleficent. But Lady Treamine decided to marry for love and not money and she got disinherited. Nancy Treamine is Cinderella's long-lost aunt.
- Snow White
- Roman Catholic. The movie seems to take place in a Germany-ish area in a medieval-ish time period, so Roman Catholicism seems the most obvious answer
- Belle
- Jewish. Based off a WMG on the respective page, she and her father are both highly educated compared to the rest of the town, a town which shuns them.
- Hercules
- Well, duh...
- Elsa
- Irreligious. Raised Lutheran, she progressively lost faith as her powers consumed her, believing that no God would give her this curse, or at least not a loving one.
- But her line "Heaven knows I tried" during "Let It Go" shows she does have some religious beliefs, even at that low-point of her life. Most likely she always knew God never hated her for being born with powers; it is only people who are hateful and bigotted. In any case, from the looks of the religious figure who crowns Elsa, Arendelle probably is (and Elsa was raised) Lutheran, Anglican or Catholic.
- Irreligious. Raised Lutheran, she progressively lost faith as her powers consumed her, believing that no God would give her this curse, or at least not a loving one.
- Merida
- Celtic Deities
- Roman Catholic. Depends when her movie takes place. It's quite ambiguous...
- Aladdin
- Could be any Abrahamic religion, but most likely Islam given the setting. The Sultan notably uses the phrase "Allah forbid you have any daughters..." at a certain point. In Arab "Allah" means (a monotheistic) God, but contrary to most people thinking only Muslims use this word, Christian Arab-speaking people use the same word for God.
- Aurora
- Catholic. It takes place in the Middle Ages (most fans pinpoint it at about 1100 A.D.), in a European country (mostly pinpointed to be France). I have study history and Prince Phillip states that they're in the 14th century which would actually make it 1300AD (or CE) if it was the 1100AD/CE it would be the 12th century. It because the Romans who invented the years had 1-99 be year 1st Century, 100-199 be 2century, 200-299=3century, 300-399=4th century. For instance the time where WWI and WII happened? Was in the 20th century even though for the years it was 1900-1999. And if you watch Murdoch Mysteries the first several seasons happened in the 19th century even though they were in the late 1800s.
- Moana
- Indigenous / polytheistic / animistic. The setting is Polynesian islands, about 1000 B.C.E., so this makes sense. Within the story itself it's clearly explained there are multiple God(desse)s and how they created the world and life.
- Ariel
- A confusing one. Her father is King Triton, which heavily references Poseidon, the God of the Sea within the Greek polytheistic religions. However, the story itself must be taking place in either Denmark (if you go on the origins of the fairy tale the Disney movie was inspired on) or in the Caribbean (if you look at the wildlife and landscapes), so Greek religion doesn't seem at place. And then there's the fact that when Ariel marries her human love interest, they're married by what seems to be a bishop or a reverend—apparently the humans in this universe are Christian/Catholic, and the mermaids polytheistic/pagan.
- Mulan
- Confucianism. Seeing how important ancestors and adhering to social norms are, and the setting of China...
- Pocahontas
- Indigenous / pantheistic / pagan: As she tells John in "Colors of the Wind", Pocahontas (and her people) mostly feel spirituality in their connection to nature / their lands.
- Quasimodo
- Catholic, obviously. Most of it takes place in a church, and archbishop plays a big role, and though Frollo was changed to a judge in this adaptation, in the original book he was a priest. As for Esmeralda and the Gypsies in general, it's ambiguous; they could either follow another (pagan?) religion or be Catholic as well.
- Or it still could've been flirtatious and Thomas could be trying to get back with her.
This would probably explain Thumper's parents emphasizing family.
- This is impossible. There have never been such castles as the Beast's anywhere in Canada.
- There is evidence that Bambi is a European deer, not an American one.
- Gaston's residence is not necessarily relevant. For all we know, he could have just taken a vacation to wherever Bambi is set.
- Hmm. Spending a year in the New World, clashing with brutal savages, tracking fearsome new beasts...it certainly sounds like the sort of thing that would appeal to Gaston.
- In the Felix Salton book, Bambi takes place along the Danube river
- "No one kills Bambi's mom like Gaston."
- But what i could tell from the hunter's tent, it looks like this film is set in modern times.
- This was offered in the original script of Who Framed Roger Rabbit: Roger asks Eddie if he knows which of the Toons killed his brother, and Eddie responds, "Probably the same guy who killed Bambi's mom." But it isn't canon because Eddie's comment never made it to the final release and it probably was a Deadpan Snarker line anyway.
- It takes place in a universe where all cartoons are portrayed by immortal actors, seemingly assuming that all cartoon characters are the slapstick kind. So wouldn't that kind of imply that Bambi isn't one of those kind of cartoons and, instead, really happened? I prefer the Gaston theory because of this. The idea of Bambi's mom being killed by something like a paintball gun, except (ironically) filled with paint thinner-like Dip is just... meh.
- Well, he had to test the dip to something. Seeing he's a sadistic monster, killing a poor, cute fawn's mother sounds exatly like something he would do....
- It's a known fact that all Storm Troopers are clones, and that they can't shoot the broad-side of a barn. None of them want to kill another living thing after seeing how killing affected the life of a young deer.
- As with the Deadpool example above, Disney bought Lucasfilm, and Star Wars with it. Hence, this is just begging to be retconned.

- Because, why not? She left her bow at home in favor of a rifle and there you have it.
- Because the idea of this somehow happening amuses me.
- She called it "The heart of a pig". Not sure how she knew it was a pig's heart on sight or why she never bothered looking until she asked the mirror who the fairest one of all was.
- The reason the characters from Bambi were there was so they could also be experimented on, these experiments were done so they can evolve the animals to a human-like form, creating the world(s) of Robin Hood (1973) and Zootopia.
- I always thought that the Beast not hurting gaston was the latter's pleading— probably something the Beast did when he was face to face with the Enchantress. He knows the pain of one's pleas falling on deaf ears, so he shows Gaston mercy. We all know how that turned out, though...
- Anastasia was in love with the baker, and with the baker at the end of C2.
- Anastasia was not with the baker, nor was she in love with the baker in C3, ergo C2 is false.
- We know that the Baker scene in C2 cannot have happened in C3, because by then Lady Tremaine and Druzella had been punished to live as servants, and would not have had the control over Anastasia's life as they did in C2. Using all of this (and the fact that C3 is a bit better than C2), we can determine that C2 NEVER HAPPENED. (And there was MUCH rejoicing).
- Jossed. In the end credits of Cinderella 3 you can see the baker with Anastasia. So it's still canon.
- I'm not saying that Anastasia doesn't ever get with the Baker- I'm arguing that, if she does, it's a whole new seperate timeline in a world where Cinderella 2 doesn't exist. After all, Anastasia managed to redeem herself at the end, so it's possible that she would not be punished as severly- or maybe she was made to do "community service" by working in a certain bakery... ^_^
- I always just assumed the second movie is set after the third, or at least the last part of it is.
- Jossed. In the end credits of Cinderella 3 you can see the baker with Anastasia. So it's still canon.
- According to Don Rosa it's the Library of Alexandria in single-book form, which makes little sense considering how much modern-day knowledge it contains ...
- Actually, it's the condensed wisdom of all the greatest libraries of the last 2,000 years- Alexandria was just the first, with each sucessive library passing on their most important information.
- Not if a Time Lord wrote it.
- According to Don Rosa it's the Library of Alexandria in single-book form, which makes little sense considering how much modern-day knowledge it contains ...
- Dumbo was made before America entered World War II, so Disney would not have cared enough to bother with WWII symbolism. However, speaking of that scene...
- I mean, if the alcohol was EXTREEEEME enough to cause that hallucination in the first place, it could happen. Also, Dumbo is able to fly afterward because he's an angel in Heaven. They get to be famous because it's exactly what they both seemed to want. Paradise.
- And it becomes even weirder if you say that the crows (only appearing after the hallucination scene) are the souls of the gentlemen who set up the circus earlier in the film. They finally got worked to death in a literal sense.
- The fact that we see his bare chest, which, unlike the prominent breasts of the harpies in the same sequence, is obviously a male's?
In reality, the kidnapping was a much less sensational case which Basil solved very quickly. The movie ended sometime before the end of the scene where Basil is introduced, with the premature solution to Olivia's case omitted. The rest of the film (until the very end when Dawson is invited to live with Basil) is entirely imaginary.
See The Seven-Per-Cent Solution for more information.
On a related note:
- The moviemakers most probably made him a rat to avoid confusion: he was called Ratigan, and announcing that he's a mouse would only confuse the viewers and not add anything important. But the WMG is good in that Maligned Mixed Marriage, Half-Breed Discrimination and some combination thereof is an appropriate background for a villain.
- That would explain why Athens looks like New York and why some characters use Yiddish slang and / or have New York accents - it's obviously a museum in New York.
How did that happen? After visiting Disney World, seeing the Princess floats in the Main Street Parade all pass in order, seeing Mickey's float and hearing this quote (he says it with a flirty tone, too - also, paraphrasing): "Didja see all those princesses?" Then adds quickly, "No one like my Minnie though!"
Why'd he date Minnie for so long? He didn't want to have his fame crash and burn over bestiality charges.
- Mickey wants to marry a princess because of the perks of being royalty. True, he's made millions upon millions in merchandising alone; perhaps he became a money-hungry jerk over the years who wants a crown to be adorned upon his head. Also, what stopped Jessica from marrying Roger Rabbit (even if only he made her laugh) despite being different species?
- The Princesses probably want in on the Mouse's money, too.
- He IS royalty.
- Um... actually, only by marriage - it's implied that Mickey became King through Minnie; she's a Princess in the Land of the Musketeers and probably became Queen. This explains why she stays behind at Disney Castle - it's her castle. She rules it, Mickey is just King Consort or has the crown matrimonial - he can rule after she dies - thus allowing him to go off in the middle of the night like he did.
- The Princesses probably want in on the Mouse's money, too.
What with all the various stories and places and time periods they've been in, it's possible to say that they married each other in each one, but we just never got to see it.
They were clearly married in Mickey's Christmas Carol and Kingdom Hearts.
Then after the happy ending, someone pressed the Reset Button, and poof! they're back to square one. Donald Duck and Pete are prime suspects here.
And besides, why would a mouse find a human princess attractive anyway?
- We're three caballeros, three gay caballeros...
Truth in Television: The previous voice actor to Mickey was married to the current voice actor of Minnie. They're the only people in the world who know what Mickey and Minnie sound like having sex.
By then, Mushu had been treated like garbage for so long that he was thinking it was just his fantasy to be the Dragon.
- You got that from the movie Hook.
- Oh, sorry, I didn't think of that. Anyway, this probably applies to the original book and Disney film as well.
- The Fox version suggests that Peter thinks all grownups are greedy, cheerless, and self-absorbed, so he simply decides not to ever be one. Considering the only adults he's ever met are Capt. Hook and his (deceased) brother Patch, it's little wonder he's so prejudiced.
- Similar to Filmation's Happily Ever After and Pinocchio and The Emperor of the Night.
Also, consider that the Rescue Aid Society is their U.N. equivalent and it apparently has nothing better to do than covertly sort out problems in Human World. Doesn't that suggest that any and all problems in Mouse World must have already been taken care of?
- A lot is made of the "He kissed her while she was unconscious!" Values Dissonance. Being a legitimate Nice Guy, I think he didn't want to feel "So fucked up!" by prolonging the act to service his own desires, so he performed the kiss as quickly as possible.
- Think about it, Aurora is just so overwhelmed with the knowledge of her true identity and the fact that she's destined to marry this "prince" that her parents arranged for her the day she was born and something the faeries agree to. Obviously she's not yet aware the prince is Philip, the man she loves and so she's pretty much overwhelmed with stress, depression, and more than likely is looking for escape, anything that can return her to that time she was momentarily happy. Enter Maleficent, whom offers to take Aurora back to that time when she was happy. Aurora agrees to follow whatever Maleficent asks to make it possible and so becomes a willing servant to Maleficent whom lowers her will power and stress to the point she's easy prey for the Will-O-Wisp to drain her will completely. And thus, Aurora allowed herself to be victim to Maleficent.
- This could also mean Aurora knew about the curse and ''wanted'' Maleficent to kill her.
- Merryweather is the Maiden - she's noticeably younger than the other two fairies, and more enthusiastic and energetic as a result, with her own ideas about her magic and what she should do with it. Her name also suggests tempestuousness - Merryweather.
- Fauna is the Mother - while she doesn't seem to have any children, she has a distinctly maternal manner with regards to the other two fairies and seems to be the calmest and most collected. Her name - 'Fauna' - is a word used to refer to animal life, but also comes from the Goddess of the earth: Mother Earth.
- Flora is the Crone - she seems to be the oldest of the three and is definitely the wisest. She has a slightly disagreeable manner, but is the most vital to the story - it's her who ultimately enchants Phillip's sword to kill Maleficient. The names of all three fairies together would seem to represent three different aspects of nature.
- In a blink-and-you-miss-it moment in the film, Phillip's sword turns black while it's impaled on her cloak. Perhaps she's a Sealed Evil in a Sword now?
With Maleficent out of the picture, it might seem that the balance has shifted, but as another troper pointed out, it's possible that she's just hiding, since we only saw a cloak. Either that, or something will spawn to replace her.
The fairies are all actually witches: Maleficent is a Slytherin Dark Arts practitioner, and perhaps an early matriarch of the Malfoy, Lestrange, or Black clan (or all three). Fauna is obviously a Hufflepuff, Flora is a Ravenclaw, and Merryweather a Gryffindor (I know Flora wears red and Merry wears blue, but Flora acts more like a Ravenclaw and Merry acts more like a Gryffindor).
It seems obvious doesn't it?
Queen Leah, as she's sometimes known, was originally barren, which is why the narration in the opening said that she and Stefan had longed for a child for many years. So, in a desperate bid, Queen Leah made a deal with Maleficent for her to use her powers to give her a child, and all Maleficent wanted was for respect to be paid to her for helping provide an heir to the kingdom. But out of fear for what the reactions of others would be, she welched on the deal. Maleficent viewed this as a serious snub, and decided that, in her mind, if she was refused credit for helping in Aurora's birth, then the deal was off, and Aurora had to go. The whole sixteen years bit was just because she felt like being cruel by having it hanging over their heads all that time. Also, to further this theory, observe everyone's reactions; all the subject are incredibly frightened, the fairies are shocked, and on a close, but quick focus on Stefan and Leah, Stefan's eyes are wide with horror, complete with Jaw Drop, but Leah's expression is, more just concern and worry, because she suspected this might happen. Notice how also, when Merryweather told Maleficent that she wasn't wanted, Maleficent looks genuinely shocked
, because she honestly did believe that she was simply not invited by sheer accident. Further bolstered by Queen Leah being the only person to treat Maleficent with respect, asking her, "You're not offended, your Excellency?" It fits!

- Or, all franchise toys start out believing they are that fictional character, but eventually grow out of it. Woody's so old he's forgotten where he came from, and more generic toys don't have much backstory to bother with. Zurg supports this, and the Barbies are acting out the personality they've been given, it just doesn't come up very often because of the suspicious absence of franchise toys in Andy's room.
- Rex asked what company Buzz was from and seemed to know a lot about the company that made him.
- Which is actually pretty weird considering the references to Hasbro and Mattel toys in the two movies. One would think we'd see toys of Optimus Prime or Duke.
- I always thought the boy in Woody's Roundup was actually all in Woody's mind while he was watching the episode. After all, he had already watched all the existing episodes of the show earlier in the movie and hadn't noticed this. I thought it was the moment where he realises what is at stake if he were to go to the Toy Museum, and he "hallucinated" Andy in the Roundup episode interacting with the marionette Woody - note his look of surprise!
It's not known why they have to repeat the adventure so many times; most likely punishment on the original Silver for his treachery, or Disproportionate Retribution on the original Jim for remembering his great adventure with such bitterness. The many different repetitions of this story have been told through the several adaptations of Treasure Island.
The curse was broken at the end of Treasure Planet; with that goodbye between Jim and Silver? Not surprising.
- Not in a mental ward, but the now aged Christopher Milne is recalling his adventures with his toys as he lies dying in hospital, as depicted in Ian Chachere's Good Night, Billy Moon. Excuse me, there's just something in my eye...


And the getting-sucked-down-the-plug thing was creepy.
Also, it's been mentioned several times that he can't read human writing, even if Christopher Robin, the most literate character in the Hundred Acre Wood has written it. It's because he's got the speech but not the written words. This explains why, in the original books, he can't write his own name when even Pooh makes a decent attempt.
What's his motive? Well, perhaps he feeds off negative energy caused by disrupting harmony and order, which explains why he does not like honey. The Hundred-Acre-Wood is full of the stuff, and thus he's come down basically to keep fed. His appearance as a stuffed tiger and nature as the Big Friendly Dog of the gang could be a way of masking his true intentions, keeping him safe from harm while he builds strength for some unnamable purpose. We just haven't figured out what.
He could be from Chaosrealm, or he could be Lovecraftian in nature; that's not the point. If you chose to take this seriously, then the phrase "Everyone's scared of Tiggers" from Winnie The Pooh and The Blustery Day sounds instantly a lot more frightening.
- This theory is totally awesome. Also, the "Very Tigger Movie," or whatever it's called, has a new frightening implication — THERE ARE OTHER TIGGERS OUT THERE.
- That is very interesting, indeed - Tigger claims to be "The Only One", but perhaps he was sent down to the physical realm as a baby, away from his many many hundreds of relatives. Therefore, he's grown up with no knowledge of his true family. When he does meet them, there's going to be hell to pay. Also, it doesn't help that he appears to have a lot of female cousins...
- Also, notice how he's the one that first tells Pooh about Heffalumps and Woozles in the Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day segment of the original film, which causes Pooh to have a nightmare about them, and then they turn out to be real in the series and later films. Was Tigger deliberately trying to create a path into Hundred Acre Wood through for them through Pooh's dreams because he knew some of them weren't nice and that Pooh and company would be scared of them? Perhaps the heffalumps and woozles are Eldritch Abominations as well?
- It would certainly explain the monstrous Heffalumps and Woozles seen in Pooh's dreams. Those things might have been closer to their real forms than anything else, and those in the movies and TV shows might be taking a recognizable physical form to adapt to our reality. It would also explain why Lumpy was so scared of our heroes - Pooh and his friends look strange to him because things like them don't exist where he comes from, and so they're the strange and horrible things in his mind. Eventually, the two sides come to understand each other, implying that Heffalumps aren't inherently monstrous. Woozles, on the other hand, have so far been shown to be kleptomaniac jerks and proud of it ("Woozles have always stolen!"), and with the one exception of Wooster they never seem to have the best intentions for Pooh and his friends...
- The 2011 Winnie the Pooh film has been accused of being a ploy like this too; being released the same summer as a Harry Potter movie and the franchise itself having been marketed to toddlers for decades almost completely assured its failure at the box office, giving Disney a good excuse to blame traditional animation for its failure again and stop producing it.
- Confirmed! Animator Eric Goldberg revealed in a recent interview that Disney will be returning to 2D animation for future projects. These will not be pure 2D, but hybrids in the vein of "Into the Spiderverse."
- If it's based on Rumplestiltskin it could use the plot of the scrapped film "Uncle Stiltskin". This would have followed Rumple finding out the true meaning of family during a plot to get another child. Keeping with the name of "Spinning" it could be a reference to 'spinning' your own threads of fate.
- Beauty and the Beast: Male Beauty, Female Beast and Female Yandere.
- Aladdin: Female Street Rat, Female Genie, Male Prince and Female Evil Sorceress/Royal Advisor.
- The Little Mermaid: Male Merman, Female Princess, and Male Sea Warlock/Sorcerer.
- Ralph Breaks the Internet, Frozen, Maleficent, and Descendants 3 suggest there may be a film where the female lead delivers True Love's Kiss.
- Partially jossed. Sequels for entries have been approved since then, just not quick-buck Direct to Video ones. Remakes being considered over sequels would still make sense on that note however, since it would have less requirement to match the voice and legacy of the original film, especially after the Winnie the Pooh theatrical sequel bombed in box office.
The creators probably tried their hardest to make the story as kid friendly and far away from the plot of Attack on Titan as possible, due to the justified fear of people comparing the two despite potentially being as thematically different as possible (as well as the equally justified fear of crossover fanworks), which might reflect badly on the film's, and possibly Disney's, reputation. Ultimately, they must have decided to give up entirely.
