The prince raped and impregnated Sleeping Beauty, and she woke up to being a mother. The little mermaid, in addition to committing suicide, as mentioned, did so because the prince married someone else and she was supposed to murder him to keep her legs. The witch murdered Rapunzel, and the prince lept from the tower to kill himself, but survived only blinded by the thorns, and spent the rest of his days wandering and mourning his dead wife. Aladdin kidnapped the princess in the night, repeatedly, and she was terrified of him.
Disney is Disney.
Well, I've never seen any other movies with a herd of wild herbivores stampeding at eye-level, or an animal hanging from a cliff by one paw, or a cloud formation that looks like your dad, but *shruggles*
At least they drew new poses and archetypes, unlike a lot of their other cartoons ;D
btw, stock images usually refers to images that are used exactly in other places, not just similar poses or POVs. e.g. istockphoto.com
Looks like I have a tutor to go and shout at for being misleading!
Alice's adventure in Wonderland was a drug trip. (this one is pretty obvious though )
PocaHOntas.
EDIT: Hey Zues. I read through this whole thread just to make sure nobody else made that joke.
<PaperStar> live fast, die young, bad plefs do it well
I heard this as well. In fact, Wikipedia seems to agree on at least some symbolism.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
So Disney goes through all this work to take upsetting, pointlessly tragic stories and make them into wonderful, memorable tales of magic and love, and all we want to do is lambast that effort and creativity and cling to stories about sexually abused young Indian women, tortured mermaids, raped beauties and drugs and math?
I'm not a big fan of the inner workings of Disney World, but I think the movies, at least the ones I grew up with (I don't know much about the modern stuff), have a positive effect on childrens' imaginations and world view. But better than what we'd have if they were cartoon adaptations of real world horror.
And I didn't know that Pocahontas meant whore.
(SPOILER)I find math equally or more horrifying than drugs
Did it mean whore though? I thought they said it means "one with many male friends". Just sleeping around doesn't make you a prostitute.
everything is wrapped in gray
i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
Judging by my infinitesmall understanding of history, I'd guess that they didn't respect Pocahontas, whoever she was, enough not to call her a whore.
But maybe it simply meant that she had a lot of guy friends. After all, dudes are totally chill, and girls are always sabotaging each other- or something like that. I hear this sort of argument very frequently among young women who surround themselves with men.
When I said one with many male friends, I was putting it nicely, Pocahontas literaly means little whore
