With its theme parks, TV series, video games, and films, Disney is one of the most famous brands on the planet. They've grown so large that the conglomerate now owns the rights to the Marvel Universe and Lucasfilm, which is the Star Wars company. You may have mixed feelings about that scenario, but you can't deny the talent of the employees at Disney. Zootopia was the bomb, and Moana was a really incredible movie no matter which way you look at it.

Disney films hold a special place in our hearts, and especially in our upbringing. The characters in Disney films are almost always in a tough spot and they utilized the power of family and friendship to conquer evil. Now, as adults we realize the hidden messages and themes in those early films and notice new weirdness as well. Just take a look a the cover to The Little Mermaid, there's a male part on it. Lots of Disney movies are full of these kinds of things that animators snuck in, which definitely 100% went over your head as a kid.

True fans of Disney are accustomed to quality ideas and stories, so we shouldn't be worried about the company and intellectual properties they gobble up. We're all getting smarter and Disney films are getting better. Now if they'll only release Kingdom Hearts 3 WITH Star Wars and Marvel characters...

30 Cartman Was Right, Gingers Have No Souls

We all must recognize the South Park episode that doomed people with red hair and freckles, dubbed Gingers with Gingervitis, to be known as soulless monsters. Even the people with merely just freckles are known as day-walkers... like my brother. But that's his problem, just like this was Hercules'.

It's funny to think being a ginger saved Hercules from the river of souls, since it's now been proven that Hercules had no soul. It's almost as if at the beginning of the film when Hades had Hercules' God-power drained from his body, he stole his soul too. Makes sense, and it also is a perfect example of a mistake coming back to bite you in the butt.

29 Real Toys Come To Life When The Room Goes Dark

Just look at Buzz's face. It almost seems as if, if his statement were true, he was the one who personally discovered the coincidence of their names. Buzz is a secret starship agent-type guy, so he sneaks around, and he gets around. Stumbling upon this piece of information definitely involved a covert operation involving the investigation of a ruckus emanating from Andy's Mom's room.

Andy's mother was a single parent, and we never heard anything about the dad. Disney does this sort of thing as a way to appeal to the families out there that aren't completely whole, and it works. They also make us appreciate the families we do have. But this is simply explaining to the world that Andy's Mom gets lonely sometimes .

28 Pretty Sure Education With Gorillas Was Just As Crazy

This is definitely a form of misconduct. To be fair, Tarzan was probably just as interested in the actual dress compared to what it covers up. Tarzan is already an outcast, and without all the hair of a gorilla, he has to wear that sweet loincloth. That being said, a dress is probably super cool to him.

You know who else did something like this? Goku. Oh yeah, in Dragon Ball when Goku first met Bulma, she gave him a slap for this. Maybe this is what they mean when they say the consent problem is real. Women aren't treated fairly in the jungles either... just look at lion prides.

27 School Isn't A Place For Smart People

The famous Egyptian artifact, The Sphinx. Or if you know him on a personal level, simply Sphinx. The coolest thing about this meme, or any other Aladdin meme, comes from an article I read about how Aladdin takes place in a post-apocalyptic Arabian world many years in the future from our own. It had something to do with the Genie quoting a 20th-century film and him having been locked away for thousands of years, begging the question of this film's timeline when you use mathematics.

This meme is the product of well-written scene from a talented mind, something Disney is in the top tier of. They added comedy to a film for children that adults also understand and at the same time educated the children on the very existence of the Sphinx itself. Aladdin most certainly opened the door of knowledge to many children who'd become future archaeologists.

26 Mufasa The Taxidermist

Disney has these sweet easter eggs in multiple films. The Great Mouse Detective has a Dumbo cameo, a Mulan poster in Lilo & Stitch, The Beauty and The Beast teapot set in a Tarzan musical number, and all the super-awesome greatness packed into Wreck-it Ralph. All that aside, this Easter Egg of Scar's flayed corpse takes the golden cake.

The best part about this Easter egg is that I remember noticing it as a child. It got me to go back and watch The Lion King for this exact line. Disney knows what they're doing with their storytelling, its an extremely creative idea to place these little scenes into their universe. That, and I'm reminded how I always wanted a lion skin jacket where the lion's open mouth acts as the hood. Is that wrong?

25 This Just Doesn't Make Sense

That's because America is awesome. England is, too, but America is taller, so there. Tarzan must've been like... "yo, chick, why you adding that confusing accent to ya' words? Why ain't you been speaking like my Gorilla friends?" Because, spoiler alert, the gorillas in the film speak English also, and they all sound American.

We were all taught as children in America that we don't truly speak English, but an American dialect of English. Tarzan simply wanted to tear down the barriers of the USA and the UK's differences. We can all love one another no matter how we decide to spell color or pronounce the word aluminium.

24 Free It, Don't Erase It

It's easy to understand leaving Aladdin's body part out of this photo, it's just not needed. It's almost like if it was in this photo it'd be too noticeable and we'd stare at it uncontrollably. It'd draw the eye like most do, and it could be a potential distraction from Aladdin's smooth jawline.

This isn't even an example of bad animation, it's just funny that it's even brought up. We always want to add some dirtiness to the Disney world, even when the animators decide that this isn't the place for torso circles.

23 The Orphans Of Disney Annual Roadtrip

So many orphans. In many spy shows and movies, the main character is often an orphan or from a complicated family. Apparently, it makes for better soldiers or heroes, and even in mythology, Gods often left their offspring to fend for themselves. It's not the coolest subject, orphans, but they make awesome Disney characters.

It's never really explained why so many of the characters in Disney films are don't have parents. Maybe it has to do with the sympathy factor that helps us feel for the character and their station in life. Same goes for having a single parent to establish strong mother or fatherhood and respect for those who raise us.

22 Where Did You Get That Chest?

Li Shang just wants to make a man out of you, don't be so quick to criticize him. He's the ultimate bro. Li Shang doesn't have time to be looking down his subordinate's shirts because he's just trying to train his army. I don't fault Disney or Mulan logic.

My roommate from China has an interesting theory that he thinks the real-life Mulan was just a person with mixed hormones/chromosomes. Which leads me to believe it's the same with the cartoon one. It's certainly never proven either way that Mulan doesn't have all the parts. Who knows? It could be a historically accurate piece of knowledge.

21 Time For This Clock To Mind His Own Business

If all of my appliances had personalities and talked, they better never tell me what to do or say something I don't like. Otherwise, they'd just turn into garbage. However, Cogsworth brings up a decent point. The problem with letting Belle go would be that Beast never gets to turn out of his beast form and alas, never fall in love.

Beauty and the Beast is a weird movie when you think about it objectively. I get it, she falls in love with the monster's personality, but if his reproductive organs follow the same rule as most other hairy mammals, then Belle is a certain type of freak. The thing is, he never tells her that he will change back to a human if they have the true love. So she had no idea what was about to happen, and I can't help but think she was a little disappointed when he turned back into his human form. Losing all them gainz...

20 Ariel Had A Certain Form Of Daddy Issues

Ariel knows what she wants, even if that means meeting the first dude on dry land and making him your true love. For those of you who've grown up around blossoming young females, you know how unruly they can become when being told by their father they can't date some guy. Growing boys are the same way, but for some reason, they get away with more.

Also, King Triton is the ruler of Atlantica, so we're pretty sure he knows what's best for his daughter. Feel bad for King Triton, for he cares so deeply. And why wouldn't he want to keep her around? It's got to get boring talking to fish all the time.

19 Hey, Bro, No One Made You Chill With Hyenas

Weren't there any more rogue lions to make a squad with? Probably not, because let's face it, Scar got no play with the females, he was destined to be alone forever. Being alone sucks for any adult. It's what most of us think about in our daily lives to motivate our decisions. The clothes we buy, the financial decisions we make, the brothers we drop off cliffs into a stampede of wildebeests...

Scar needed some underlings, and the hyenas needed a king. Even if Scar wasn't monarch material, he fell into that role pretty easily. So yeah, Scar may have been surrounded by idiots, but what does that make him? It makes him the lion who likes to hang out with dumb animals. He must have been dependent on something else. Remember how dark the Pridelands grew when he became Ruler of Pride Rock? There must be some dark magic in this dark lion.

18 Obesity And Depression, Best Friends Forever

A wise man once said... "I eat because I'm unhappy, I'm unhappy because I eat."  We can relate to Alice and her binge eating and enjoying the wilds of the rabbit hole. It's hard to knock a person for going hard on some food she found in the forest after being thrown into a new world. Alice didn't know if she'd ever eat again; you must prepare for the worst.

Food tastes good. There has to be a reason why so many people shove delicious meals into their mouths on a daily basis. We eat way better than any other species. We also tend to eat multiple species at once. Which is kind of a brutal concept. It's a simple fact that not eating food will result in us dying and dying is a problem. Therefore, eating does solve problems.

17 God Of Death, Ruler Of Underworld... Employer Of Dullards

Where the hardcore demons at? Pain and Panic were complete morons which proves no one hires dumber people than the Villains. Scar had the hyenas, Ursula had Flotsam and Jetsam, Jafar had Iago, Vader had the Stormtroopers, and of course, Hades had Pain and Panic. The latter, however, is certainly the dumbest of the group.

The thing about Pain and Panic is that they were doing what their boss asked them to, they just failed at it. Whereas the hyenas of The Lion King eventually turned on Scar, but that was only because Scar was a total jerk and he had betrayed them first. Pain and Panic failed to de-God Hercules and never told Hades they messed up. Really, it was dumb of them to lie because they had already done the hard part by stealing the baby from Olympus. So why not be honest? Hades could have swooped in and finished the job no problem.

16 I Bet These Two Are About To Fox

As long as the animals who frolic in the forest practice safe stuff, I'm content. But when you think about that Foxes are sly makes you realize that the male fox in this movie had secret plans. He probably saw her tearing apart a rabbit or stealing some bird eggs and thought she was cute.

A lot of the subtle censorship in Disney is something we look back on with questions and definite confusion. Yeah, those foxes shared some experiences and then a few weeks later a bunch of fox puppies were born. We now realize this meme basically lays it out flat for us about what happened. What truly went on behind the bushes of the forest between two foxes.

15 Hey, Yo, Girl, What's Your Digits? Holla At Me! Yerrrr!!

This is true for multiple films and television shows that were made before cell phones. The thing was that no one really anticipated our world to be like it is. The invention of the internet and the subsequent sharing of it with the public was a huge deal in the timeline of humankind. But to then place this vast mammoth of technology in every single person's pocket changed things again.

No doubt the immersion of cell phones and the lifestyle that we've all fallen into will be a defining factor of our time period. But that doesn't mean we can't look to the past with our technology and laugh. Because this meme is hilarious due to its truth, all the princes would have swiped left on Cinderella if she didn't have those sweet magics.

14 Only Talk To Strangers Who Offer Candy And Puppies

It's a good thing we can spot a creep by their haircuts and clothing. Be real, you've seen a photo of a weird guy and thought... "he's a bad guy for sure" or... "that dude steals women once a month." I'm not being controversial or anything, merely following crime statistics from across the globe since forever. Most creeps are dudes, and they're almost never handsome.

The problem with society, American society, is that too much is based on physical appearance or the standard of beauty. Another problem is that attractive people walk around in this world thinking it's a much nicer place than it actually is. Because most of us schlubs are stuck in our ugly faces and when we see someone pretty it makes the day better. Especially when they talk to us. People be like "you're so attractive, please take my stuff." And the hot person's just like... "thanks, I'm used to this treatment." Paraphrasing, of course.

13 Admit It, Pochahontas... You Have No Friends

Pocahontas may have been exaggerating a bit when she made these claims. But it's definitely not John Smith's place in life to bring it up. Disregarding all of the historical inaccuracies, Pochahontas was an awesome movie. Oh yes, Pocahontas is based on a real indigenous chick who did some cool stuff. However, the 1995 animated film didn't really cover any of that.

This meme tells me that Pocahontas is either super interested in rocks and trees and stuff, like unnaturally so, but it also may mean that she probably doesn't have a lot of human pals to chill with. But now we're starting to think that Pocahontas is just a schizophrenic. Which is awesome if you go back and watch the movie with that in mind!

12 Hide Ya Kids Hide Ya Wife

Perspective is everything. So when we tell our children to dream big and enjoy Disney films, maybe we're accidentally telling them it's okay to leave the house in the night with strangers. The lie of Neverland and staying young forever is simply that the children taken are subsequently killed. Forever young.

Sometimes people in these Disney films tend to be too trusting. It's often their downfall since they seem to ignore the dangerous properties of magic and those who wield it. Flying, crossing dimensions into Neverland, summoning pixies. Peter Pan isn't some second grader at Hogwarts; this is Voldemort-level sorcery.

11 Let Loose Your Pain Water

We're sick of strong female characters swooning in tears no matter how cute they are when they cry. It's getting old. The problem is that: men cry too, but we don't see them reacting in this ridiculous way in films when they do. It's a little unfair to the female race.

That being said, these scenes tug at the heartstrings exactly like they're supposed to. That's why Disney kept choosing it. It's comforting to know that certain things never change. That, and that no matter how sad you are, tossing yourself onto a nearby object and crying comes directly before the resolution of the movie.
