Who is your favorite Disney Princess?!

[@jamesmills2491]

Mulan

[@yusufgazi7]

Jasmine

I love mulan And I also love Cinderella

[@Cesia845]

No, Belle doesn't love Beast for his Castle. She loves him for his Library.

Thank you i was looking for that

[@Tophkaneki]

[@צלילכשר]

Thats true!

[@bluegreen-ti6tu]

[@dannorlin2716]

I dream of having that library myself at least once a week!

[@emilyhedrick2851]

There's a little Disney children's book that tells how Jasmine got Rajah. She was lonely and needed a friend, so her dad got her a tiger cub. She named him Rajah and basically raised him. That's the story. I read it when I was a little kid.

[@LitoraLee]

I was about to type this down too. I had the book myself when I a kid, but I can't remember if it was from the leap-frog or an actual kids book.

[@_Fizel_]

Oh. I remember the name was from a story her mother used to tell her.

[@kenziehurlock]

"My daughter needs a pet. Let's get her the largest most dangerous cat there is"

[@mandyrose_1992]

Rajah came from a circus and Jasmine being young beloved him to be a gift from her mother. Thus promoting her to name him Rajah after the stories they would read.

When it comes to sleeping beauty, Maleficent’s curse is that she’ll die when she touches the spinning wheel, but the blue fairy changes it to that she’ll fall asleep instead

[@chrissiegerber8939]

Wanted to correct this one, this is so difficult to remember, for a lot of people.

[@tinas_hotdog_sophie]

Thank you. I only saw the movie years ago and whwn he answered I was like "Wow, did Disney really change that from the Grimm's version?" but now I am relieved

[@hly1226]

Yes! I was like, Maleficent wanted to expire her, not put her to 💤.

[@M.M.Y.B]

And as a curse, it works really well, as it basically forces you to love someone you know will die soon. They would spend 16 years knowing their daughter was doomed to die, and honestly the merriwether's fix doesn't really fix it. She would still fall into a "death-like sleep" and be unreactive to the world.

[@rleutz13]

and furthermore, the "Only spinning wheel" is an an enchanted one of Maleficent's doing, if I'm not mistaken

[@Madhattergirl122]

I think Mor'du is there as a physical representation for Merida on what can happen to her mother and quite possibly her siblings but that never really gets brought up

[@MisunderstoodNeko1]

And the prince that Mordu was before wanted to break the tradition and do his own thing. Similar to Merida, but he never made up with his family to fix the curse. So he's almost the mirror of Merida but the bad way

[@toschiworlds7212]

@@MisunderstoodNeko1 Yeah, I basically see him as the moral of the story. He made a mistake and didn't own up to it or try to fix it, Merida learns from that and corrects her own mistakes.

[@MerijnH]

12:37 okay lemme address this real quick. Belle kind of has Stockholm syndrome, but not in the way everyone thinks. Cinema Therapy here on KZbin just did an AMAZING video about this, explaining the thoughts behind it. To put it shortly, people always think Stockholm Syndrome means falling in love with someone who keeps you captive. Belle doesn't do that (technically). She feels compassion, sees him as a friend, but she does NOT love him romantically when he held her as a prisoner. It was only after he freed her and she chose to come back that she saw him offering himself, not fighting Gaston that she fell in love with him. Go watch their video, it's awesome haha .kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmaXpaOloK2lptE

[@MasterCrander]

It's also not a real diagnosis and is widely rejected as a genuine condition by both psychiatrists and psychologists. It's not in the DSM and was made up after a botched hostage negotiation by incompetent cops. It's a normal survival strategy to empathize with a human you have to be around constantly, especially when doing so may mean the difference between life and death. Furthermore it's often used as a sexist label, predominantly against women; so there's that. Better to not spread it as if it's real - cause it isn't.

[@DakotahTWilson]

@@MasterCrander Agreed. Reducing survival tactics to Stockholm Syndrome undermines survivors' credibility. The initial "study" that characterized the "syndrome" was not based in science at all and was quite dismissive of the survivors' experiences. I kind of equate Stockholm Syndrome to "female hysteria" which is another outdated term that, thankfully, we know better than to use nowadays.

[@kmbehrens14]

Glad somebody said it! In addition to what others said here about the term "Stockholm syndrome" undermining survivor credibility, it also erases any complexity in the fictional story of Beauty and the Beast and reduces it to a joke. It's a lazy way to think about stories.

[@beastwriter3915]

May I add that the Beast is more likely to have Lima Syndrome, where the captor cares for the captive. When Belle was freed, she did not hesitate to leave, but the Beast was devastated. im not sure i could be wrong tho...

[@karencoon6243]

Oh! Someone already brought up Cinema Therapy too, guess I should've checked the comments before. It's annoying when people say it's stockholm syndrome.

[@BassSpiikkeri]

6:42 I always thought that Mor'du had just been a bear for so long due to the spell that he eventually became feral / savage (like we see happening to Queen Elinor gradually during the movie). And maybe one can throw a nice classic "he had grown to envy and hate humans, because he could possibly never become one again, which then motivated him later on subconsciously as a bear". Honestly, I have no freaking clue.

[@desiismeroko]

I agree with this, but I want to add that he also stands to be an example of what Eleanor will become if Merida does not mend the bond (which was not the stitching of the tapestry, but admitting she was wrong and asking for forgiveness, as well as forgiving her mother.

[@BassSpiikkeri]

@@desiismeroko Thematically, yeah. Nice catch. I clearly focused on the "in-universe" view, it seems. Thanks for the assist! :)

[@erinnix3197]

Yeah I thought it was part of his curse, to roam his home for years, feral, not dying of old age, waiting for the right person to put him out of his misery. I think it's funny that the Carlin brothers forgot why he was in the movie. I thought it was important to have him in the movie, seeing the consequences to action in the past that still affect the present, which Merida has to face in order to get her mom back to normal and save her kingdom from falling into war. Mor'du's story is a great way to warn Merida what will happen if they don't correct their mistakes.

[@mistingwolf]

My head-cannon for the Disney merfolk is that little fin around their waists is actually external gills, kind of like axolotls.

[@JT5555]

i feel like bronies broke that wall down YEARS ago: if grown men can like talking ponies then they can also like princesses.

[@BassSpiikkeri]

9:40 Folks! Apparently J is not far off regarding Rajah, which is hilarious. :D According to Disney's 1995 print book called Tales From Agrabah, Rajah was originally a circus tiger as a cub and was found by Jasmine who thought - GET THIS - a gift from her deceased mother! And "Rajah" was the name of a star her mom told her stories about, so she named the tiger after said star. And the sultan eventually came around to letting Jasmine keep the tiger and bought it from the circus.

[@Kaylascurves]

Per Brave.. The tapestry quilt thing was meaningless. Merida took the curse's rules to literally. "Mend the bond torn by pride" is referring to the bond of mother and daughter, and what ACTUALLY broke the curse was Merida's apology and acknowledgement of her mother's efforts and love.

[@M.M.Y.B]

Yes thank you! First of all, it was a tapestry, a historically significant and particular craft chosen for the time period, so not a quilt. And the fact that they don;t know that the relationship was the point not the tapestry makes me mad.

[@Orion_TheyThem]

Also, her literally stitching up the tapestry is significant of her admitting she's wrong and wanting to literally mend the bond with her mother. She's fixing her mistake.

[@bettycrash3092]

​@@Orion_TheyThem yes, this! And Mor'du wasn't just random. He is the example of what happens when you don't mend the bond. Its all about family disputes, and if you don't apologise and/or fix the initial argument, then it will just get worse and worse until you have a whole rift in your relationship. So like, the mum turns into a bear, but is still herself. But the longer it goes on, the more animal she gets, and they'll never be able to fix it. soz, i waffled.

[@OkGoGirl82]

Yes. I came here to say this too. They need to rewatch.

[@deniseclair6100]

I love the return of the Google Autofill videos, they are such light hearted fun, and very entertaining. I like that both of you are involved in the video now, it’s a nice change. But… couldn’t believe you didn’t find a way to sneak in “I know what a nickname is” quote for the Lottie question, haha!!

[@Amcsae]

Seriously! I said the same thing. I mean, Lottie makes more sense as a nickname than Roonil

[@Thewolfartist24]

6:37 by telling her mom how much she loved her and telling her what she was doing was out of love. 7:09 Because mor'du is an animal

[@charleslee8313]

The answer to question 8 is: Maleficent put a curse on the spindle, and Aurora was supposed to die, yet one of the fairies put an alteration on that spell, so Aurora would just sleep, but true love's kiss would awaken her

[@ChibiNetherlands]

Actually, regarding the questions of why Belle loves the beast and why she doesn't love Gaston. Cinema Therapy did a very interesting video on that recently. Also Johnatan Decker, who is a licensed therapist, addresses Stockholm Syndrome and what it means for this movie, which is not as simple as "Belle falls in love with her kidnapper".

[@kurtpryor6334]

I had always assumed Malefacent had magiced the spinning wheel into existence.

[@captainspaulding5963]

That's basically how it happens, the wheel was either directly created by her (original animated version) or the curse itself (live action)

[@ajwinberg]

I agree that the princess and the frog is underrated. It is one of the best Disney princess moves ever made mainly due to the music.

[@JT5555]

ya,the princess and the frog is pretty great (i'm not a fan of some of the aspects like "princess of mardi gras" being a legit was to become a princess" because that's nonsense but it's overall pretty great and dr.facilier is hella fun to watch).

[@cmcole86]

I grew up obsessed with Ariel (born in 86), but as an adult- Moana hands down. A modern classic in every respect of the word. It’s a near perfect film and I hold it very close to my heart.

[@aionicthunder]

Mulan (2020) has a lot of problems, but I’d honestly say that Mulan having superpowers is definitely… in the middle of that list: yes, it is a problem, but the worst it does it add to a much larger problem. That problem is how Mulan isn’t challenging the system: she apparently says “I know my place”, a line that Mulan’s father says in the original, who is disproven in that philosophy, but Mulan (2020) praises her for it. Here’s where the chi midichlorians factor in: as they’re “rare in women”, it doesn’t highlight the issue with not allowing women in the army by treating Mulan as an exception. That means that she likely had very little impact in changing the system, compared to Mulan (1996), who demonstrated how different mind sets allow for more effective combat, will have meant that women would be much more likely to be allowed in the army. EDIT: Belle does not get Stockholm Syndrome. I would explain it, but Cinema Therapy did a great job of it and you should watch that video (in fact, watch their entire channel; it’s great stuff)

[@PurpleGermanShepherd13]

Yeah, the 1996 Mulan was best because she wasn't training to be a warrior all her life. She was just a brave woman who risked everything for her father, and when she went to war, skills she hadn't used previously before came to the surface. And YES. I am tired of people saying Belle had Stockholm Syndrome too.

[@maxkimpland1746]

Also, I like the 1996 version of Mulan because of Mushu, because he brought a lot of comedy relief to what could’ve been a too serious movie, whereas the 2020 version had absolutely no comedy relief, which kinda made the movie not as enjoyable for me or my family.

[@friend_trilobot]

The entire concept of a fairy godmother was introduced by Perrault (French court author who wrote down many fairytales a couple centuries before the Grimm brothers) and seemed to be a combination of the classic fairy helper/divine helper with the concept of actual godparents, who are traditionally tasked with offering help and support to their god-children. His version of Cinderella (the version Disbey used to adapt his) features one (along with a pumpkin and glass styles slippers) but an older version had a fairy tree and the later grimm version had a tree with the spirit of her dead mother. In other less similar variants (like Thousandfurs or Catskin) they don't get help from anyone.

[@aprildibs4121]

Love your videos but 1 correction: Maleficent was (seemingly) mad for not being invited to the christening party for Aurora when the whole rest of the kingdom was (Didn’t see the backstory movie. I’m sure there is more to it) She decided to still give a ‘gift’ to Aurora hence the curse to DIE if she pricked her finger on a spinning needle. One of the 3 fairies changed it to making everyone sleep instead. Also, I think the remaining spinner wheel was either magically created, built by Maleficent (or a minion) or was left over where no one thought to look (like an attic?)

[@kaiseremotion854]

i believe the reason she wasnt invited was because she already had a ...reputation.

[@mqk1697]

The Take did did a great video on Cinderella suggesting that The Fairy Godmother is the personification of her self parenting and that Cinderella actually makes the things happen for herself using her resources, creativity and optimism.

[@JT5555]

the take is wrong and that is a really dumb theory.

[@qizhu1938]

[@LauraSomeNumber]

Maleficent cursed her to die, but Merryweather still hasn't given her gift and changes it to sleep. Also as I remember it in an older version of sleeping beauty I think maleficent isn't invited because they don't have enough gold plates to serve one more person.

[@syberyah]

7:14 It was my understanding that Mor'du was a bear for long enough that he just when savage and insane, and so he just attacks basically anything he sees.

[@meghanhammond8167]

Technically out of the 12 official princesses at this time, 6 of them have living mothers during their movies (Aurora, Mulan, Tiana, Rapunzel, Merida, and Moana) It's mostly the early princesses who have dead moms. If we count Raya, then the stats go from 50% with living moms to 46%, but that's still a lot with moms.

[@alexiswelsh5821]

That one spinning wheel was created by magic. In the animated version it was created by Maleficent herself, but in the live-action version it was created by the curse. Also in both movies, Maleficent wasn't mad at not being invited (mistakes do happen), she was mad that she wasn't wanted.

[@toschiworlds7212]

In the original Grimm version of the story, she wasn't invited because the royal family didn't have enough ornate cuttlery for all fairies and had to exclude one of them. Why they didn't just invite her and then apologize for the inconvience is beyond me though.

[@Sarah1519]

@@toschiworlds7212 because she would have been insulted either way in the original. That’s just how fairies work. They either had to invite all of them and give each of them something or not invite any of them. That’s how it works with fairies.

[@JT5555]

she was mad at the lack of respect: she's a VERY powerful fairy,yet wasn't invited to the biggest celebration in the kingdom and that was pretty much the same as spitting in her beautifully green face so she retaliated by making it all about her via cursing the baby princess to death (pretty hard to ignore THAT).

[@Boundwithflame23]

I thought in the Maleficent movie she was mad because she got betrayed by someone she thought loved her and held a grudge.

[@davidalicea6705]

No in the original movie according to the villain series Maleficent was mad because she wasn't invited to her daughter's christening yes daughter and she only cursed her daughter by making her daughter die so that way she wouldn't have to go through the hardships in life that she went through but still she's a bad mom

[@FaithOriginalisme]

You talking about the scenes in Moana gave me chills.. just you talking about it OH, and on the topic of weird nicknames. Most of them stem back to ye olden times when 8 out of 20 people in your village were all named Richard after the king. There's a whole series odd nicknames like this. And it's very often a rhyme scheme thing.

[@chrinaboehler5609]

SO much fun, good answers! As for Mor'du, I believe even in the movie they hinted at him being a cursed human of royalty, I think for one, he's a savage bear, and two, he some-what remembers the curse that was laid on him and not broken, possibly taking it out on Merida because she herself incidentally laid the curse onto another human! Also my mom works with wildlife, he totally looks like he has mange disease or distemper, which can cause such behavior. Also commenting on Rapunzel's hair weight, I'm a hair stylist and took a stab before you did, I guessed between 90 and 100 lbs! Proud of that, I cut a bunch off of my friend's hair recently, she had dreadlocks and we weighed them in at 3 lbs, only the top section(her sides were and back totally shaved, undercut) and only to her shoulders. Hair weighs a surprising amount. You guys have the best fan feedback! A lot of the fun is reading the comments, many many good points made!

[@silver9wolf6]

Seeing J rant about live action Mulan just makes me happy 😂

[@Nonashi]

Fixing the quilt isn't what broke the curse on Merida's mom. Merida THOUGHT that was how to break it but when it didn't work she broke down, finally admitted what happened to her mother was her fault (something she'd been denying the whole movie) and apologized to her. That's what 'mended the bond' between them.

[@kaiseremotion854]

i think giving him a break when he has 15 seconds is fair imo. but good catch

[@lildee1814]

As far as Moana making you cry, I honestly believe that the music plays a huge part. I'm sure I've read somewhere that the tones in music can seriously effect your emotional state, which is why scores and songs are so important to movies. (You'd have to look it up because I don't remember where I heard it, so I could be wrong. But personally I get effected by music in movies more than anything else, so I believe it 😊)

I think that Esmeralda from The Hunchback should be on that forgotten princess list. She stood up for Quasimodo - that was a heroic deed.

[@linnywines8014]

Sewing up the tapestry, very pointedly, did not undo the spell in Brave. Mending the bond between Merida and Elinor did. It took Merida apologizing, recognizing her part in the conflict, and honestly reaching out to her mother. Mor’du was under the same spell as Elinor, but he brought it on himself out of greed. He was consumed with rage that had built up over centuries and caused him to attack everyone he saw. He was specifically targeting Merida in the end because she had gone into his home and drawn his attention

You guys don't seem to understand what Stockholm Syndrome actually is. Firstly, it's a social phenomenon, NOT a clinically proven psychological disorder. Secondly, if you examine Belle's behavior throughout the movie, and compare it with the common signs of stockholm syndrome, it's very clear that she doesn't even come close to suffering from that particular affliction.

Like I've heard this opinion a couple of times now by other people, but it wasn't the quilt that was the issue, it was her bond with her mom? the prophecy was "fate be changed, look inside, mend the bond torn by pride".... her saying she loves her mom right as she was (dying from being crushed by the rock/turning fully into a bear?? haven't watched the film in a while), is what mended the bond torn by pride... Merida is the one who confused mending the tapestry as the actual solution...

[@silver9wolf6]

I don't think you're crazy, that's how I interpret it to. The tapestry is symbolic mending, but it's the relationship that really needed to be healed :)

[@im_living_dead]

[@erinnix3197]

I do. I thought it was different from their normal movies in some ways. Some good lessons in there too.

[@paschameleon]

Beauty and the Beast is definitely not Stockholm syndrome. There are key components that characterize Stockholm syndrome and Belle does not show these: 1. Refuse to leave their captors, even when given the opportunity to escape. When an act of violence occurs and threatens Belle’s safety she leaves right away, not caring about the promise she made. 2. A hostage's development of positive feelings towards the captor. Yes, she does end up feeling compassion towards the Beast but only after he stops his abusive behavior entirely and does not return to that behavior. She develops positive feelings when the Beast stops acting like a captor and she isn’t captive. The Broadway musical even says, “You are no longer my prisoner. You haven’t been for a long time.” Plus, Belle doesn't even fall in love with the Beast until the very end of the movie when she is about to lose him. The Beast lets her go because he loves her, but the spell didn't break... why? Because she didn't love him back in a romantic way. So, in actuality, Belle did not fall in love when she was a prisoner 3. Self-preservation instinct on the part of the captor. The victim avoids triggers that will set off the captor. Belle never does this… just look at the scene where she is cleaning up his wounds, she yells back at him and does set him off, same for the scene when Beast asks her to diner. 4. Power imbalance, in which the captor dictates what the prisoner can and can’t do. See the Beast defines rules and Belle any of does not obey any of the requests. She is seen to hold some power too, especially after she was saved from the wolf attack. The Beast argues but Belle stands her ground and outsmarts him. 5. Negative perceptions towards police, family, friends, and anyone else who may try to help them escape their situation. Belle loves her father and leaves to save him; she doesn’t even plan on going back to the castle because she wants to help her father. When Maurice is about to be sent to an asylum, she stands up for him and saves him once again.

👏👏👏🏅 EXCELLENT breakdown, thank you!

[@kazfreedman9964]

Yes one of these again!!!!!! (Like the old google autofills)

[@madnessarcade7447]

Elena is totally snubbed so are all their kids from descendants

[@mattwearden3542]

Wasn’t expecting this one 😂🙌🏻

[@HarCoolReviews]

I love this channel so much!

[@Biotek2389]

I'm happy that when you showed the mulan clip it was from the good one.

[@JeoreoUincorn123]

Love you guys

[@roguequakewitch]

2:00 there is also a theory that her husband is a distant relative to the emperor

[@oliviagagon2117]

Hey brothers! I think you’d really like the video that Cinema Therapy just did about Belle’s and Beasts relationship! (And idk how you’d do this, but a collab between your channel and theirs would be killer!!! I love hearing your guys thoughts about therapy on the pop, so it could be a cool crossover!) Also, thanks for the video! It brightened my day 😊

[@jorgecarbajal8076]

2:20 Although that is true, I still consider Elsa and Anna as Disney Princesses, especially since they all appear together in Ralph Breaks the Internet. 13:30 Elsa is my favorite Disney Princess, and I love her so much that I can’t even think of a second favorite.

[@thespiderofhonor3732]

I am like 50% sure that there is a book that went with like one of the original 90s toddler dolls for Jasmine talking about why and how she got Radha but if not I would guess you know when you’re a princess and you’re basically locked in your castle all day you start to get a little whiny so the salt and gets a little annoyed and he’s like what do you want and she’s like I wanna tiger

[@mollychankawaii]

Princess and the Frog is an amazing film.

[@blueskiesandstarrynights]

Actually, the reason that there are so many dead mothers amongst disney princesses and disney characters in general is because Walt and roy helped move their mom into a new house but it turns out it wasnt up to code and she died of carbon monoxide poisoning and walt felt guilty for it ever since.

[@loracorwyn3713]

:(

[@tia7520]

I do love how live action beauty and the beast fills out the plot holes and gives beast a song. Beyond that, I think they really overused their musical motifs to the point that the rest of the new songs kinda just sound like the same song.

[@davidfitzpatrick2684]

Technically Lindsey Ellis actually did a video essay on why Beauty and the Beast actually IS NOT A CASE OF STOCKHOLM SYDROME.

[@faeriefairies]

And Cinema Therapy just did a video why it actually is a bit like Stockholm Syndrome. Can really recommend it :) but the one from Lindsey Ellis sounds interesting. Definitely have to check it out.

[@davidfitzpatrick2684]

@@faeriefairies yeah Im pretty sure that's the name of the YT but not sure. I just remember finding her after typing in Beauty and the beast Stockholm Syndrome. I'll have to checkout the Cinema therapy video thxs! Also Whar the heck does the psychological community have against the city of Stockholm? Naming a ilnnes after the cap of sweden?

[@Nanalagoon]

What's braver than sewing a tapestry? There's nothing weird about that Haha Also, cool shirts, J! Fun fact: there are so many orphans in Disney stories so you don't have to remember all of the characters' names (probably)

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

I think Maleficent just made her own spinning wheel…like she just makes it appear and then Aurora pricks her finger on it. Like..she’s the most powerful fairy in the land and you think that burning all the wheels in the kingdom will stop her? It’s so confusing

[@victoriapyles7752]

I’ve got a video idea for you 👀 who was the fifth spirit before Elsa? I have this whole.. thing worked out where I think it’s the guy King Runeard killed. That it’s a familial thing, and that guy was also Elsa’s grandfather (iduna’s father? Grandfather?)

[@supermidget4549]

I misread the title as “Disney Princess Google Autofill” and got very excited. A new take on an old SCB classic

[@GraceOfDiamonds]

6:29 is "sewing back the tapestry" the official cannon way Merida turned her mom back from a bear? I've seen a lot of ppl say this but I think it's not true, "mend the bond torn by pride" always meant to me that she needed to mend her relationship with her mother, which she does at the very last second when she cries for her mom. The tapestry thing was just Merida not getting the Witches instructions. It also doesn't make any sense that mending the tapestry would be the fix for the spell cuz the Witch gave the exact same spell for Mor'du and he split the stone carving of him and his brothers, how was he supposed to mend that? If *he* wanted to be turned back into a human he would have had to fix his relationship with his brothers. 6:43 Additionally Mor'du attacks Merida cuz he's a magical savage monster like seems p r e t t y o b v i o u s but also he shows Merida what's at stake if she can't fix her mistake Honestly, I feel like the only reason ppl don't like this film is because they never understood the meanings and messages.

The question about Rapunzel's hair made me lagh a little, as there is a related question (or, better, fact) in German/Austrian movie history: Starting in 1955, an Austrian production company made a movie trilogy about the life of Austria's most beloved empress, Elisabeth, born Duchess of Bavaria, and better known as "Sissi" (pet name for "Elisabeth"). The movies cover the time period from Princess Elisabeth of Bavaria meeting Emperor Franz Joseph I. of Austria-Hungary ("Sissi"), her early days as empress ("Sissi - the yound Empress") to her assassination ("Sissi - An Empress's years of Destiny" - I translated the movie titles to the best of my ability). Sissi was portrayed by German actress Romy Schneider, who had to wear a absurdly heavy wig, as the real Elisabeth had an elaborate hairstyle that reached the floor (when standing). Romy Schneider even complained about how straining it was to wear this 2kg monstrosity of a wig. Romy Schneider was just 16 when she landed the role. Hair is awfully heavy...

[@makaylakilmer4448]

Actually Beauty and the Beast is more an example of Lima Syndrome (where the captor begins to sympathize with the captured), while examples of Stockholm Syndrome (where the victim sympathizes with their abuser) are Frollo and Quasimodo and Mother Gothel and Rapunzel. Both break free from their captors psychological hold while Belle doesn't respond positively to the Beast until he shows her kindness (saving her from the wolves). Before (and after when he growls at her and tries to turn his injuries around on her) Belle is defiant and outspoken against his behavior, valuing herself and her own autonomy above her captor's.

[@aaronpotter2893]

Belle loves the Beast for his library, mostly.

[@desiismeroko]

What about Princess Eilonwy? She is very heavily snubbed.

[@vine1313]

1:30 I was informed that Pigs on a boat is actually bad luck, but that was probably just a rumor.

[@SarushaIsMyName]

I think Aurora was originally cursed by Maleficient to die on her 16th birthday. One of the three fairies - Merriweather, I believe - uses her remaining gift to the baby to reduce the power of the curse to just falling asleep. The other two fairies had already given her beauty and song before Maleficient showed up. They sent Aurora away with the fairies and then the king burned all of the spinning wheels, though it was badly done because they weren't all destroyed.
