CLASSIC DISNEY MOVIE FAN THEORIES

If there’s one thing the internet has brought us, it’s crazy people with too much time on their hands. And some of these people have developed wacky theories about Disney movies – things that Walt and the animators were really trying to tell us all these years. Here are some of the fan theories, compiled by the Comic Book Resources website CBR:
– One fan theory suggests that Snow White has died and that the Prince is actually the Grim Reaper, kissing her before carrying her to the afterlife. The thinking is that the Prince only seems to appear when Snow White has a brush with death, and because the pair say goodbye to the dwarfs at the end before viewers see the Prince’s castle, bathed in gold and surrounded by clouds as if it were the afterlife.
– Alice in Wonderland is really about Alice taking a drug trip. Well, duh.
– In Beauty and the Beast, the Beast was just 11 years old when an elderly beggar cursed him for his selfishness. The theory is based on a lyric “Be Our Guest,” where Lumière sings, “10 years, we’ve been rusting.” If the curse was in place for 10 years, and the Beast’s “21st year” is approaching when Belle arrives, it would mean he was cursed at age 11, which is an awful harsh curse to put on an 11-year-old.
– Mary Poppins belongs to the same species as Stephen King’s Pennywise the Clown in “It.” Both of them emerge from hibernation every few years to feed on the emotions of children.
– Aladdin is set in a post-apocalyptic future. The Genie claims to have been stuck in his lamp for 10,000 years. If he were around in the third century, that would put the present year at 10,300 AD at the very earliest. Also, the Genie knows and impersonates figures like Jack Nicholson and William F. Buckley, despite being trapped in a lamp for 10,000 years. It also explains the hover technology of the magic carpet.
– Shan-Yu, the villain in Mulan, is a vampire hiding in plain sight. He has fangs, yellow eyes, and seemingly superhuman strength and senses. Also, all his scenes take place at dusk, and he’s often shrouded except for his face and hands.
– The characters from The Jungle Book represent the Seven Deadly Sins. Kaa, the snake, is Lust. Shere Khan the tiger is Wrath. Colonel Hathi the elephant is Pride. King Louie the orangutan is Greed. Baloo the bear is both Sloth and Gluttony. Mowgli the boy is Envy.
– In Peter Pan, Tinker Bell represents the hallucinogenic liquor absinthe, which was also known as “the green fairy.” The Lost Boys represent arrested development induced by substance abuse. Neverland is a substance abuse clinic.
– Cinderella has enslaved all the animals, including mice and birds, who she forces to assist with her chores.
– High School Musical is set in the Purge universe. The kids don’t follow many rules. They repeatedly disrupt classes and events with their singing and dancing. In the second and third movies, there are scenes of trashing schools, bribing business owners, disregarding safety standards while working in the kitchen, and a teacher impersonates a student and forges his signature to gain admission to the Juilliard School. So they are in The Purge universe, where lawlessness or periods of lawlessness are the norm.
