Talk about the series of these shows.

Did you watch the Tarzan series

Agree!! I also like that he visits her home and have her family knowing about him as they get to know each other. I really think, unless you have a toxic and controlling family, getting families involved early on is a wise thing. They know your greatest downfall and your best self. They have your best interest in mind. And meeting each other’s family doesn’t mean the relationship is now serious or has a level of real commitment at all. I always hated that pressure on meeting each other’s families.

Love your profile pic

@@kittylover4974 Could you explain the pressure thing? Like, isn't that natural? :')

@@Liz66. The way I see it, there is pressure in wanting to show your best sides to the other's parents/ family and have them like you. However, I also dislike the ridiculous exaggeration in movies, when i.e. there's palpable fear of the SO meeting the parents or the father being all overprotective and threatening dismemberment. It's overplayed in cinema and therefore,too many people take it for real.

which obviously would be the best idea even if they hadn't met like they did since the 1st year of a relationship doesn't give you a real idea of who the person is unless you were friends first and feelings only came later.

That's something as a kid I always liked about David from Lilo and Stitch. Other guys were very pushy in movies (even in disney), but David was ok with waiting for Nani until she was in a better place. He spent time with her and her family without any pressure or anger that they couldn't date yet.

@@happybunnyntx David is a gem

@@happybunnyntx It’s also clear that David has a great relationship with Lilo (like an older brother) and that his friendship with Nani is also solid. He could have easily been bitter toward Lilo and tried to convince Nani to give her away, but he knew how important they were to one another; glad he wasn’t a “Nice Guy”.

THIS! On both parts. Shang had to almost pretend to hate Mulan for military/legal reasons. He did what he could do until all hell breaks loose and he could actually "listen to a woman." Naveen is straight up sex and I love that he learns to be more than that. He's a playboy who finds out there's more to life and that's actually kind of awesome.

@@TheMedicatedArtist david is a good egg.

I kinda disagree. It just shows his magical thinking and lack of practical knowledge of the world and his own capabilities. What job does he think he's going to get? How hard does he think a job is? How many hours does he think he'd be working? Tiana's been busting her butt from birth and is exhausted working two jobs but Naveen thinks he can just go pick one up because he's decided to start working and a job will just fall into his lap. At this point, he's been cut off from his parents, he can't even handle "be rich and don't do dumb shit", we don't know if there's any future prince or princesses about to pop out of one of those **thousands** of women he's been with already or how many stds he's picked up along the way. When she meets him he's planning on marrying her friend for her money, and spending his life cheating on her. He spends a day or so with Tiana before he decides to just be a completely different person because that's what she likes, despite having no foundation to achieve his goals. He spends all day on a date she wasn't expecting because **he's planning to marry her rich best friend** then is surprised to discover she actually has dreams and goals. Literally the one thing we know about Tiana is she's working towards her restaurant. Everyone who's ever met her knows that. This guy is trying to propose before he ever finds that out. All he knows is that she likes working on things so he's like "ok cool I'm going to work on things too .... what's work and how is it done?" Her bar is so low he doesn't even need ro cook to impress her, just cut things into smaller pieces. Every single man Tiana knows can cut his own damn food without her instructions. He likes to sing and play music but he's not even good at it .... does he have one single talent or skill? One redeeming quality other than "changed himself for a woman", but changed from "useless arrogant womanizing gold digger" to "useless romantic sugarbaby"? Like, it seems like his job in Tiana's restaurant is "host" at best. His parents show up with money, she does the real work, and he just kinda hangs out having fun. His contribution to her is "teaching" her to have fun or whatever, because apparently her friends inviting her to go out all the time and her suitors trying to get her to relax once in a while were just background noise and only this guy's opinion matters. Tiana isn't having a romance with Naveen, they're experiencing the bridge effect. They barely know each other, their views and dreams are diametrically opposed, and they have no topics in common whatsoever. They fundamentally do not and cannot understand each other. After the honeymoon period ends, how would they really live? What would they talk about once they're no longer frogs? Does he know anything about business, cooking, running a restaurant, or living in pre civil rights american south? How's he gonna settle down to a lifetime of planning menus, dealing with suppliers, arranging employees, cycling product, holding staff meetings and all the other day to day of running a business? Tiana was fine alone, but how's Naveen gonna handle her having no time for him because she's running a business and can't hold his hand through every learning step like a child. How's he gonna handle being the only person in the building who cant boil an egg or tie his shoes without a servant? When all the men he sees are stronger and more competent and all the girls would be happy to be with a rich handsome prince even if he was a lazy bum

I love that he makes a point to include the kids in just about everything he does with Duchess. He gets a bit of one on one time with them and bonds with everyone individually and collectively. He doesn't try super hard to get them to like him, he just treats them with respect and is himself around them.

@@MikaMoonlight Plus he gets burned while working at the restaurant. He also jokes that she could date him, and they'll call it even when he gets her a job at the grocery store and she thanks him, asking him how she can repay him

Just going to say, Lilo and Stitch feels VERY different when watching as an adult, and knowing just what Mr Bubbles was doing there. The aliens coming in to blow everything up actually eases the tension.

Watching Lilo and Stitch with adopted siblings has given me a completely new perspective of this film. Mr. Bubbles is the antagonist for most of the movie, but he really does want what's best for Lilo. Furthermore, he is right. Nani is not in a position to take care of Lilo at the beginning. By the end of the film they have two new parents and the situation has changed for the better. Bubbles lets the family stay together because now that is what's best for Lilo.

I guess it was more possible to be "modern" if the characters were animals? "Lady & The Tramp" is an unexpectedly mature story too, but they got away with it because the main characters are dogs. "Snow White" and "Sleeping Beauty" are fairytales though and didn't need very complex romances back then.

It’s not like Disney can’t do “modern” but of course if they adapt cehturies old material they aren’t going to add the Prince or Princess having kids to it just to be modern. Although I would love to see Rumpelstilskin from Disney. The second half of the story is when the lead is a mother is trying to save her child from the bargain she made with Rumpelstilskin in the past to save herself. The DisneyToons films Lion King 2, Little Mermaid 2, and Return to Neverland had Simba, Ariel and Wendy have children, but the main studio hasn’t had movie like that. Although maybe in Frozen 3 Anna and Kristoff have kids. If so I hope it’s a girl called Gerda who needs to find Elsa to save her cursed friend. You know, close to the original plot of Snow Queen.

@@sarasamaletdin4574 Nice idea!

@@spamachuchan8824 Yessss the show is sooo good! They have their problems but it’s the way they always find an equal compromise

I haven't watched the series. But this scene is actually the one from the movie Tarzan and Jane

I’m sorry to say that I hated it as a kid because my mom made us watch it at all times and it’s because she saw it when she was a kid herself and she was just reliving her childhood I’m ok watching it now she was actually extremely happy that Netflix had it and rewatched it all

I absolutely adore Lotti. I think a fair number of us can see ourselves in her or see Lotti in our best friends. Tiana and Charlotte grew up in completely different backgrounds, but that never really made a difference for those two. They were just BFFs. Lotti grew up spoiled, but she was never a brat. She always went out of her way to help her best friend. Lotti may be boy, or prince crazy, but she is the definition of sisters before Mr.'s. I love that despite her dream of being a princess, she realized her friend's dream was more important.

Gosh I love your comment and this reply 😭❤️

Yup. Underrated movie for sure

Lottie is HILARIOUS.

The Princess and the frog is probably the best not talked about Disney films

I see this point get brought up a lot, but the thing is, she didn't really sacrifice her dream. Sacrifice involves personal choice, willingly giving something up in exchange for something else. She didn't willingly give up her dream restaurant to marry Naveen, nor did Naveen coerce her into letting go of her dream. Outside circumstances made it impossible to attain, so she made peace with that and let it go in order to be happy with the person she loved rather than blame him for the loss, becoming lonely and embittered. The loss of the dream restaurant is like putting an offer down on your dream house, or applying to your dream college, and not making the cut. It's outside of your control, so it isn't a sacrifice, it's just a lost dream. In a way, I think it was good for her to lose it, because I think making peace with the idea that you could lose the thing you want most can make you think about that thing in a healthier way (à la Jedi Code, lol). She was determined, but also I think a little misguided, when trying to make her father's dream of owning a restaurant come true. Having the dream snatched away allowed her to let go of that lingering grief over her dad's death and find a healthier reason within herself to want the restaurant. She realizes that the restaurant isn't the point of her dad's dream, her dad's dream is about doing things he loves with the people he loves most. So she's not being pushed to the brink of her capabilities by the weight of her dad's memory anymore, now she's walking hand in hand with the love of her life and blossoming into her own.

I don't see how not knowing how to change back is a sacrifice. They didn't have a choice. By happenstance, marrying her made her a princess so kissing a princess breaks the spell. They didn't have any other royalty around to try that on.

@@xejelah still the best couple

@@xejelahthey are sacrificing their dreams. The sacrifice isn’t them not turning back human, it’s them letting go of the dreams they would only be able to achieve as humans.

They also forgot to mention that Tarzan also did this for Jane first. He put on a suit and joined her and her father on the boat to adapt to the city life he knew close to nothing about.

Agreed. It's a factor in him letting her go without punishment instead of death as is expected.

i feel like he was just more of uncomfortable than wanting to respect her, he seemed really thrown off by her weird actions.

@@dollpickle he was an innocent teen but when he gulped when her strap was down he was definitely nervous. He was never exactly taught about flirting and such.

lol

Respecting her? There was no reason for him to believe he would be disrespecting her if he reciprocated her advances. As far as he knew, she was very interested in him, and it wouldn't have been against either of their wishes-- especially hers-- had he, again, reciprocated her advances. It wouldn't have made Hercules a bad guy, had he done so. He had no context, and was oblivious to her circumstances.

Yes. I agree. That was awesome that they incorporated that into the movie. Tho I do think it had more to do with him just being uncomfortable in the first place as he's never been in a relationship before, but it's very nice to see that he's respectful of her anyway

I love that scene in the movie, because when he sees her kids (and obviously they're hers), he looks worried for a split second that he was flirting with a married woman. And he later becomes a father to them because that's what they needed.

@@katlyndobransky2419 yeah obviously but it's a cat love story depicting human themes for humans to watch. The fact that the "single mom" theme wasn't shown in a negative light still counts for a lot.

@@LoreCatan no yeah I totally agree, but I feel like this theme would stand out a lot more if it was about an actual human single mom with children. I think this story’s message is mostly the fact that a single mother can still fall in love with a guy that loves her and her kids equally. I never questioned the fact that she was a single mother as a kid because they’re cats, and I knew that with animals, being a single parent is normal. Ofc changing the cats to humans would make the story really boring for a child, and I still love it non the less. But I feel like the idea of Duchess not being shamed for being a single mom falls flat just because she’s cat. However in all cases, single parents should NEVER be shamed. People change, and sometimes tragic things happen that we cannot control. Which is why I love the Aristocats’ message that some strangers can become family

Yeah, it’s definitely more progressive for its time and the owner herself is a happy bachelorette and not pining for a man. It’s too bad my 4 year daughter mover got into the movie 😔

@@FioreCiliegia Well I mean that one makes sense as its a physical change, land or sea, it isn't just about a parent holding on or letting go. And honestly, a parent sticking around TOO long (Cinderellas stepmom, The Evil Queen from Snow White etc) can be a negative.

@@nurainiarsad7395 still as a man reised by monkeys he is way more human then most people

To add to this, Jane LOVES the jungle. Like, she actively shows a love for gorillas and the other beings in the jungle, its something she shares with her father. Jane has the capacity to enjoy and be free living in the jungle. Tarzan, on the other hand, doesn't know if he'd like London life, and he would be going back as a scientific discovery, making it far less likely he'll be happy in Jane's Victorian society. The choice she makes truly benefits both of them.

@@ThePa1riot I simultaneously loved and hated Mulan for trying to console Shang in that moment. She did what was in her nature; she saw someone hurting, and tried to ease that pain. And I love her for that. But on the flip side, her doing so reminded Shang that he couldn't be a grieving son in that moment; he had to step up and be a military commander. To him, a Commander cannot show weakness in front of his troops. He had to set aside his pain, his father, and his duty as a son to keep things moving so that more people didn't suffer the same fate. And every single time, I wish I could reach through the screen to tell her to give him a few minutes more.

This comment needs to go to the top of the pile!! I think Mulan is the most powerful story of respect between a man and a woman, and one where the man must actually confront all his prejudice about women, making the choice to value and support her because in proving herself she gives him no alternative. But it's in line with what you said about their trauma bonding, and feeling most connected to her, like when she gives him her support in the camp and when his father dies, because she's almost lost her father numerous times (when he fought and then when he was conscripted). It's also why I find it so cute that he's completely disarmed by her by the end, he's unused to the feeling of being on equal footing with a woman. Ah, Ancient China.

Ooooh, I agree. I like this angle.

Yes! I think the fact that he left her alive is proof that not only did he see her as an equal but he also saw her side in wanting to protect her dad, it's just that he is also a leader and has to follow the rules so that his men will trust and follow him.

YES. Shang and Mulan have massively strong chemistry because they are character foils. they each feel trapped by the gender roles they were raised in, but Mulan says "enough is enough" and casts off her obligations to femininity at the very beginning of the movie, as soon as her father is threatened. her goal is simply to protect the people she cares about, by any means necessary. Shang is kind of a representation of the equally stifled other path. he was raised with obligations toward performing masculinity, and that has led him to his position at the start of the movie, as someone who is leading soldiers for the first time, and trying to do it well so as to put respect on his father's name and career. this concept of being someone respectable for the honor of one's family can be seen in Shang's attempts to lead his soldiers, and in Mulan's attempts to become a perfect bride. we even see these systems represented in the characters of the matchmaker on Mulan's side, and the emperor's attendant who constantly follows Shang around, recording everything he does and judging him. the scene where Mulan tells Shang that she thinks he's doing a good job, even though the attendant guy is constantly complaining, is important. because it shows that Mulan understands his struggle, even if Shang isn't privy to how different her perspective really is. Shang is still responding to his obligatory role, and Mulan knows that that's difficult. she's felt it too. but also, she only ends up in the same place as him because she rejected her prescribed role, and this frees her up to consider out-of-the-box options. like, Mulan isn't instantly good at masculinity either! she struggles with it, and it is not portrayed as the answer to her woes, or anyone else's for that matter. these expectations lead Shang's father to his death, and nearly kill Shang and all of his men as well. Mulan saves them in the mountains, because she is different from them. they could not do what she did. and by the end of the movie, what we're basically seeing is a reversal of positions, even as they lessen the burden of expectations for one another. think of it this way: Mulan was initially expected to be a good bride, but was judged inadequate by society's standards. then she goes off to be a soldier and eventually excels when placed under different expectations... but the key to that, is that she's being judged by Shang. and he is the type who eventually comes around on her methods when they're effective... he would rather see her succeed than be staunchly archetypal. meanwhile at the end of the movie, Shang doesn't have to exist in the context of war anymore, which frees him from the expectation that he be a good soldier, and the judgement of those who felt he was performing inadequately. he then goes to Mulan's home and tries to make a good impression by a different set of standards... and you know he'll be okay, because the one who would be "judging" him, is Mulan. the ball is in her court now, and she is equipped with the wisdom to both be herself, and let him be who he is. she doesn't need him to be archetypal if they can find a way to be happy.

Does everyone agree that Mulan 2 was garbage though?

I'm also fairly certain that in the animated series, Tarzan did build her a Swiss Family Robinson house.

I snortlaughed reading the gorilla-dad part. It just sounds hilarious. But he’s gorilla-stepdad, right? 😂

@@lunarsiren7216 I see what you're saying, but I think I disagree on the phrasing. Kerchak would be Tarzan's dad through relation of being Kala's partner. But emotionally he has shunned him and distanced himself throughout Tarzan's upbringing. From Kerchak's point of view it's a case of having lost his son only for his wife to go off and adopt a kid without considering his feelings. Tarzan becomes a symbol of loss-- both the death of his son and the rift between him and Kala. [Despite the fact, from Kala's POV, it's a case of help a baby or let it die. And her own grief can't allow her to have another child die when she can actively do something to prevent it.] .... So if anything, I think Kerchak is more 'mom's ex-husband' with Tarzan wishing he'd treat him like his son and that they could have a happy and accepting family.

@@DarkwingSnark i think you hit the nail on the head with your analysis.

@@richardwarnercool1 Technically, Tarzan's mom and dad built it, but they do fix that place up as their perma-home. And the general location becomes essentially a port for episodic characters to land, hang out for a while, and then leave. Jane's friends from England even show up in a couple eps.

Google a history of male affection on art of manliness

Yeah. His reaction wasn't "perfect" but it was realistic. And he had to get his head around a lot of cultural bias.

And that’s why it’s a good thing that they don’t rush into a relationship by the end of the movie (curse Mulan II), because they need time to connect with each other without any disguises, deception, or societal expectations

@@catdragon2584 Yeah, I love that it end with Shang being invited to dinner with the family. It's just wholesome and realistic, as you said, for them to really start to get to know each other

Yeah, the thing about lies is that even if you do consider and somewhat understand the why, you were still deceived by this person. In Mulan's case that's what Shang is trying to get his head around but also why he's automatically distrustful towards her. It's actually quite apt that she asks why Mulan is any different from Ping because she is different, he doesn't know how much she lied about, how much of Ping is just a made up persona, etc etc.

My boyfriend and I grew up loving Wall-E and just how impactful the story was about taking care of the environment, an underdog saving an entire society, and the sweet love story of two robots. We were Wall-E and Eve for last Halloween, and I think it's such a healthy and beautiful relationship when the story ends. I remember I got mad at Eve for not seeing Wall-E's feelings and needs when I was little, but she had a mission to focus on. And when she did see what he sacrificed for her and took care of her during her shutdown, she pushed aside her mission to reciprocate.

@@nikkipittman761 I think he clearly explained that he meant a totally dropping everything and everyone she ever knew. Perhaps he forgot about that scene. The movie is like 30 years old lol. They must have rewatched it for their new review. I'm checking it out now!

Yeah TBH Triton was _terrifying_ and I would've thrown it all away to get out, too. And it's totally fair not to factor in the sequel, but Ariel wasn't trying to dump her old life entirely - they had to come up with a plot device for that to even be a point of conflict. And then in the movie after that we find out Triton tried to _ban all singing_ because it made him sad. Seriously he is a monster. Ariel wanted legs so she could RUN.

Also she was pretty much obsessed with humans and their world way before she met Eric

I thought it was bc they saw her chest binding 💀 and then after that it was bc she dressed feminine

@@chaoxiangalula4086 yea her tities was out and she was acting mad feminine then

​@Captain Mercurian true but its still kinda funny that "Ping" had *shorter* hair than a bunch of the men but the exact same beautiful womanly face and feminine voice as Mulan yet everyone is still like 😱 she's a ladyyyy?!?! Only when they see the chest binder. I feel like Li Shang was attracted to Ping, felt conflicted about it and overeacts during the big reveal ngl 😬

@Captain Mercurian 😂

​@@babyramses5066It's a slight cheat in the animation choices. Mulan as Ping not only has her hair up etc. but her eyelashes are drawn thinner when she's in disguise, and come back thicker when she's "revealed" to be a woman

I would LOVE to see both of these guys react to Treasure Planet. It's my favorite Disney movie, and an underrated classic

Or even just friendships. We've talked about Woody and Buzz, but what about like Aladdin and Genie, Lightning and Mater, Tod and Copper from Fox and the Hound?

Thisss!! Goofy Movie is so underrated

YESS

Yes!!

I should have read the comments before commenting, this is exactly what I said! I've always loved the relationships in Ghibli because it's not all about the happily ever after

Omgosh, yes!

OMGGG YESSSS!!!

Omg YES! they need to look into mote studio ghibli

YESSSSS

Also Shang looked so disappointed that she was a girl 💀

​@@ellielovegood6307 dude is literally bisexual in denial 😂

His voice actor is gay also

@@ellielovegood6307 because he might have been kind of deceived? along with like literally all the other guys?

​@@noorbohamad5796you're a breath of fresh air 👌

I somehow feel like it’s maybe just a tad bit idk🤷‍♀️sexist?misogynistic? like if Meg’s a MALE then would people say pretty much the same stuff but with like a gender swap? or gender flip or idk🤷‍♀️whatever

I don’t think I can/could really remember comments with people saying stuff like that about Meg but then again hello! duh! Meg’s a SHE so um uh OF COURSE there’s gonna be people saying stuff like that about her she’d be basically like demonized/antagonized:(with a certain male coming along and like “fixing” her or something whatever I guess): for having been victimized by a male of course that’s what happens to FEMALES victimized by males another example being how a blonde girl/blonde woman having been liked by the male protagonist but she got sexually abused by her own father so let’s condemn and demonize her cause she got victimized by a rather abusive make obviously

​@@noorbohamad5796 tbh if Meg was a guy it wouldn't really be talked about in this way. So many male characters get away with stuff like this or worse w/o being vilified by viewers. Ex. Aladdin, Bruce almighty, she's all that, 10 things I hate about you, breaking bad etc. I do see your point but I feel like you can't just genderswap an issue like this: Meg's situation is much like so many women today and in history, stuck with an abusive husband/boss with no way to get out of her situation because he controls her life. Yes men can get abused too but this is faaaaar more common and systemic with women. That's why it warms my heart to see them acknowledge the fact that she is a victim, even though what she's doing is wrong.

Well at least some good old kick in the ass can still serve as a good punishment, while hurting a little less than in the face on the other hand, as a more peaceful measure (maybe if peace is always an option somehow ?)...just saying 😅

@LauraKlotz So was running his fingers through his hair, and referring to himself in Meg's words: "-- a big, though girl". (9/28/2022)

You're so welcome! And thank you for your kind words!

That's interesting! As an Asian, I never realize this because the gender color assignment (i.e. red/pink = feminine; blue = masculine) is based on a Western culture. I'm sure in many Asian countries there is gender color assignment, but not necessarily the same formula (e.g. pink/red in my culture is worn by manly men).

@@pGFTuv in Western countries, until the last centuries (when colors were inverted), red/pink was used for males too, because it was related to blood, so courage and strenght, and blue was used for women because it was related to purity (ie. The dress of Holy Mary)

It's almost certainly just natural highlights and a way to show variety in character design. Yao has reddish hair outlines too. Some people have natural reddish highlights. Using red can also indicate a more brown shade rather than black. Using blue highlights in the hair tells the viewer that the hair is truly inky black, rather than brown.

Like how Robin doesn’t want her to be involved as it would jeopardize her own comfort and well being since he’s labeled an outlaw.

@@JapanFreak2595 Yeah, they spend a fair amount of the movie assuming what the other is feeling when they're not around, but once they can finally talk to each other again, they're very open to expressing themselves.

There's actually quite a few notableish others although they are not the prominent relationships in the film such as Jim Dear and Darling from Lady and the Tramp, Dodger and Rita from Oliver and company, David and Nani from Lilo and Stitch, and if you look at their second movie together with their first because it's an official sequel not a direct to DVD, Bianca and Benard from the Rescuers and the Rescuers down under.

THAT'S WHAT I SAID😂

@@rebeccakaff6803 Even could do Pongo and Perdy's relationship... I mean they brought their humans together so THEY could be together

TBH I always saw Lady and the Tramp as a dog version of Aristocats, minus the babies and the attempted murder

@@celianunn2070 lol i forgot there was an atempted murder😂

@@celianunn2070 I love Lady and the Tramp, but Aristocats has MUCH better characters and story. Lady and the Tramp is basically just another "naive young lady falls in (literal) puppy love with 'bad boy,' gets her heart broken, teaches him to settle down" plot, whereas in Aristocats both Duchess and O'Malley are experienced adults who enjoy each other as-is and have no issues with who the other is as a "person" (cat). Also Lady and the Tramp's excuse for a "story" is kind of all over the place, whereas Aristocats has an actual _plot._

@@GoddoDoggo "Pampered city girl falls for guy on the wrong side of the tracks' - both Lady didn't get her heart broken, there was a misunderstanding that quickly she got over And neither "teach" the guy to settle down, in both the guy CHOOSES to settle down "Like each other as is, and have no issues with who the other is" both do that Lady in the Tramp is actually easier to follow as it's been done hundreds of times. Aristocats is the same but with slight twists that make it different. Let me guess you grew up with Aristrocats as your favorite but didn't watch Lady in the Tramp at all?

I loved how at first O'Malley first meets duchess he was a bit taken aback by the kittens and by becoming their father but quickly accepts them in the same scene. Sort of like he was saying "oh well I guess I'm a dad now 🙂"

Or a break down of everyone in the movie. They are all interesting especially the villain I forget his name

@@sashabell2390 Frolo I think it was

Next line up might as well also include Lady and the Tramp (and just when you thought things would go great for both of them… well, wait until the scene before the ending and after “He’s a Tramp”, Mowgli & Shanti, Bianca & Bernard (The Rescuers duology), Nani Pelekai & David Kawena and maybe even Chicken Little & Abby Mallard…

I actually heard an interesting view of Quasimodo/Esmeralda and why she wound up going for Phoebus instead. It wasn't because he was deformed. It was because Quasimodo and Frollo both fell into the opposite ends of a particular view of women (or a woman) called the "Madonna-Whore complex". Quasimodo put her on a pedestal and treated her like an angel, which is not a good place from which to form a relationship. Frollo, of course, saw only her sexuality and lusted after her. The song itself, shared by the two, might as well be titled "Madonna-Whore"... it is titled "Heaven's Light/Hellfire". But Phoebus (again, this is in the movie, I had already read the book and I know it's quite different) treated her fully like a woman - he was sexually and romantically attracted to her, but also acknowledged her strength and intelligence. From the beginning, when he saw through her disguise, he showed that he wasn't just looking at a pretty face, but regarding the entire person as a person. That was why he was the right man for her (again, in the Disney movie).

Sounds like my best friend and I

Omg yes! They kind of remind me of Duchess and O'Malley (and I believe the voice actress for Bianca did Duchess too). If they ever rate or look into the Rescuers as a couple, I feel they'd be first place too.

@@B3llaBambin4 The voice actress was Eva Gaborone also stared in Green Acers

I think Pongo & Perdita have Bernard & Bianca beat by a good 15 years. Both are great couples though.

@phoenixfriend Yeah, and they're a rare example of a Disney female lead actually flirting with and crushing on the _male_ lead first instead of the other way around and him having to chase _her._ It's a nice change of roles!

@@jazzycarlianna I think 101 came out in 1961and Rescuers came out in 1977.

Our editors are amazing!!

@@CinemaTherapyShow how lovely

Oh yes, they are adorable!

When Robin Hood says, “Marian, my darling, I love you more than life itself.” my heart just swooned at that line. Where's my Robin Hood?

Yes!!! Disney's Robin Hood is my all-time favourite male character. He was such a good person (fox?) And his relationship with Marian is beyond romantic

@@rociogallegossanchez3147 Right? I want one of my own, minus him being a fox because I'm not trying to get arrested for that...

yes!!!

Oooooh, now I want to see their take on Bernard and Miss Bianca!!

@@sabrecrafted7409 *SPOILER!* You do know that in the books, Bianca friend-zoned Bernard when he proposed to her, don't you? ='[.]'=

Also, unrelated, but isn’t it just so cute to be able to associate Gabor’s voice to such iconic main characters who are both white and fluffy? And zoologically opposites, like mice and cats?! ❤️

Such an unbelievably charming actress

Yes!

Yes, an underrated couple from an underrated movie!

Kida, short for Kidagakash.

@@breezy3392 thank you for doing what I was going to

What's Atlantis?

O'Malley is an underrated male lead/romantic lead. He is even cool with her kids who aren't even his (obviously) but he forms relationships with them not to get with her but because it's important to her.

@@jocelynfisher3174 Absolutely! He's a great example of a stepdad.

My cats name is O'Malley because lf the aristocats

Yes! They are the best 😊

@LizzyDizzyYo yeah it was 👍

YESSS absolutely LOVE the series and movie-such a FAVE!

I looove how they handle Rapunzel's trauma in the show! So tasteful and it's still Rapunzel and Eugene

Exactly what I wrote. They have so many opportunities to go the silly rom com route, like with the proposals or stallion etc instead both consider the position of the other, don'tget overly mad and they talk things through. They are the best role models ever

Thanks for watching and for your suggestion!

Love this!

How often do I want to blow my brain out? Every time I see this joke

I saw the TV show too! And no one I know remembers it... I wish it was on Disney+

The people that Tarzan and Jane meet are African Natives. Not supernaturals :P You might be mixing up the episode with the were-leopards which did have a supernatural element to it with the main villain (Queen La) trying to break them up. Also Tarzan and Jane's house is the house that Tarzan's Bio Parents built when they were stranded.

That is the most romantic thing I have ever read

@@horse14t Queen La, that was her name. I think it was the episode that introduced her. That was another cool part of the show, including stuff from other pulp adventure fiction of the time like dinosaurs in the hollow earth or lost civilizations. I think Edgar Rice Borroughs himself was a character on the show.

@@giovannalisi3529 it should still be on KZfaq, just search for it :) But yeah, I'm kinda mad that I already pay for Disney+ and can't even watch all of my favourite childhood series there. Also, they tend to not update their catalogue in my country when new seasons of current series come out.

I kind of feel bad for saying this and please no offence at all; but I honestly feel like the people who complain about Tiana being a frog for most of the movie just came off as ungreatful, at least in my opinion they did. I mean they basicly went from "FINALLY; Disney's very first _black_ princess!!" to "I hate that she was an _animal_ for a big part of the film, RIP OFF!!"

@@scarysara9364 I mean, I used to think this as well but learned that just because they give us something doesn't mean we need to take it. I just think now how sad it is that they gave it so much hate that it really didn't deserve over something so small. Just like they did Soul, so our two movies with leading Black original characters were just dragged by my community. Yet those same individuals are okay and say "representation" when we are given Ariel. A mermaid who rarely speaks in the movie and has to go off her looks to get a man, because she literally sold her soul to pursue a man she's obsessed with and ends up marrying while disregarding her family in the sea. While just being 16 years old. Lol, so it's really frustrating but it is what it is sadly.

I agree with this statement as a black woman! I loved Princess and the Frog.

I loved tiana as a ‘princess’ she was a very charming character and her relationship with naveen was lovely too! I’m just disappointed that because the frog princess title has been taken I’ll never get to see the original story I love more then anything come to life…. Tiana is a great character but I don’t think the whole frog thing was the way to go about it Apparently the movie was based off the Frog Princess By E.D. Baker but that story is about a clumsy swamp loving girl (with a big nose btw refreshing not having a ‘pretty’ princess )on her journey to cultivate her magic as a witch decent in a world of magic not uh voodoo?

Watching this video reminded me of how much I love Princess and the Frog

I know right it is soooooo cute!!!! HAHA I hope one day I have a cute husband who compares me to a disney princess and he has a crush on !!!! Why do they raise the bar though my bar was already high to begin with!!!

My husband does this too ^^ Tangled came out when he first had a crush on me, and I’m a lot like Rapunzel, I’m an artist and optimistic and I like going barefoot (also I’m blonde) and now we’re over a decade later, five years married and he buys art of Rapunzel and Eugene cuz she’s still his favorite Disney Princess and mine too 🥹

It’s always been one of my favorite Disney movies.

yeah, cause it came out during Disney's bronze age. It's so nostalgic for me, even though the story itself isn't epic or deep.

I haven't seen it but just based off what I've seen. Looks beautiful.

hah!

YES YES YES YES YES YES YEESSSSS

Yaaaas, Chicha is so awesome, so much sass, I adore her! Wendie Malick is fabulous!

These are top tier

Yes!!!!! Would love to see him look at Bernard and Bianca and Phoebus and Esmerelda 😁

Need Milo and Kida (Atlantis) on this list

Yes! I would love to see them in your next video, they are my favorite Disney couple ❤️

PLEASE. The best relationship in Disney at all (ok caveat, David and Nani). There's no immediate kiss, no romance right off the bat, he's simply there to support and appreciate her and she's there to learn from and teach him. They're friends to start and they trust and respect each other. It's fantastic!

Lol that’s what I was thinking- gotta love the nerdy/ nebbish guy and protective/ strong woman dynamic !!

We're working on it!

I agree. Especially because he showed up right away to help her and the friends out in the Emperor's palace. It was more 'Please, Mulan, are you REALLY not getting how much danger you and all of us will be in if you get caught . . . well, if you're going to go ahead anyway I'd better do all I can to help so we may have a chance of surviving this.' Coming from a military family, I loved so much of the nuance in Mulan and Shang's relationship and the realism of what it's like to be in the military and what you have to be prepared to sacrifice.

While I see your reasoning and where you are coming from, I disagree. When I watch the parade scene, right after Mulan told Shang that the Huns were alive, he immediately dismissed it. He didn't even take a few seconds to think it over. He just disregarded what she was saying, and if he was truly open to the possibility that there was an ENEMY GROUP IN THE CITY, I think anyone in their right mind would take necessary precautions, especially considering it's his job. And even he was trying to protect her, that isn't doing justice to Mulan, to her character, or her accomplishments. She saved his life, even if he didn't trust her, he should at least take her seriously. I think where their relationship left off is a healthy place, but I wouldn't defend his actions. (Not hating on the movie, the characters, or where their relationship was at the end of the movie, BTW. Love Mulan!☺)

I not agreeing that much. But indeed, seconds before the enemies went out of the dragon costume, he was 'looking around', suspecting and wondering. So, if could be that he was suspecting because he took in consideration Mulan's words, or he was just thinking 'wtf this dragon so close, they are breathing in my neck '

Listen to the way he said it tho. He’s not saying it in a way that seems protective. It sounds like he’s angry with her.

I'd also like to think that if the emperor got word of it, he would have executed Mulan and her family, and punished Shang for not reporting it. A woman in the military is against everything they believed in during those times

Lots of works, can I just be... not married and live?

@@lastyhopper2792 if that’s what makes you comfortable then yes, but nothing in life that is worth while is easily obtained. Even friendships are a bit of work to maintain and need clear communication.

This is such a beautiful story. It gives me hope for the future of humanity. Thank you for sharing. I hope you and your family continue to thrive and grow. 💙🔥

Congratulations on 30 years of marriage! I come from parents of a paralleling story (my Mom is white and my Dad is First Nations), but it didn't work out for them. Flash forward 15 years and everyone's much happier now :)

@Lasty Hopper, it's not for everyone. It requires a great deal of maturity to make a marriage work. Most people nowadays do not want to be mature nor do they want to grow and accept responsibility. It results in many broken relationships and marriages.
