The Best And Worst Disney Kingdoms To Live In - After Hours

[@TheLastSaint17]

Just commenting because this video deserves to still be getting comments. Miss these four, and this show.

[@Splatslacks]

Tears in my eyes watching all the after hours in 2019

[@justchillin7896]

i feel you i miss these.

[@tokyworld]

tears no more, if you miss this check out "off hours" by small beans here at youtube or patreon. is it a cash grab by michael swaim, who am i to judge? but seriously michael started a YT channel.

Hello from 2020

[@tophertopia]

Well dry those tears they just released the finale 2020...then cry again lol 😭

[@LiamAnthony_]

What about the Kingdom from Tangled? The king and queen seem pretty decent, I mean, the royal guard is a bit useless seeing as the Horse seems to be the most effective part of it, but then all the bad guys are actually pretty friendly so long as you have a sing-along.

[@nanitemakesstuff1520]

Was about to say

[@gabe5525]

Liam Anthony I was thinking the same thing.

[@Bladez10]

What the other guys above me said. Plus at the end of the movie the horse was whipping the guards into shape by training them in the art of pan handling.

[@NessaWyvern]

Maybe the guards are real softies and never liked using Swords against the criminals (based on how lethal swords can be) so they more readily fight with pans as they are less likely to kill someone :P

[@alechiavassa]

It is a kingdom in which thiefs are executed by hanging

[@AnnaBanana1]

"It's delightful Katie" "F*cking delightful as sh*t" Best part of the video! I love these After Hours videos, this one was one of the funniest ones I've seen

[@jasonblalock4429]

I dunno if they were quite fair to Emperor's New Groove. Sure, at the START of the movie, it's a tyrannical hellhole. But the entire plot of the story is about the Emperor learning to not be a dick and appreciate the underclass. By the end of the film, he's happily mingling with the commoners and hanging out with his BFF the... um... lower-class laborer of some sort. (Did they ever specify that?) Either way, by the end of the movie ancient Inca is a pretty groovy place to live.

[@DavidRodriguez-ux5ye]

Jason Blalock he had probably already spent all the money in that stupidly gigantic castle and remember he is an idiot

[@ILikedGooglePlus]

Jason Blalock I mean it's technically an empire, not a Kingdom, but since they mentioned it I still think it was the best one. I mean Prince Eric's had a ruler called Eric. And they were coastal so relied on fishing, how were they supposed to cope when he married a fish and presumably banned fishing, it would've destroyed their economy

[@ddqfpluskick]

Except now your ruler is codependent of his happiness sending time with your family intruding upon life and low if you ask him for some me time.

[@ILikedGooglePlus]

Eric Badgley But I wouldn't be Pacha, I'd be some other random peasant, so I'd be fine

[@jasonblalock4429]

Also, it's worth mentioning that Disney ancient Inca apparently has a functional economy that doesn't simply rely on village-style communist mutualism with a layer of capitalism grafted on. A country doesn't have roadside diners unless there's plenty of traffic and trade going on. Plus, the existence of the Junior Chipmunks suggests there's even leisure time among the lower classes. Otherwise the kids would just be put to work.

[@BlueEyedBrunette]

About Beauty and the Beast: Most people assume that Beast was the prince of Belle's area, but some princedoms are very tiny. He might not be *their* ruler. Also, nowhere does it say *every* piece of furniture is a corresponding servant. For instance, her wardrobe talks to her but I don't remember the bed doing so. So broken furniture does not immediately imply murderer.

[@majormana1]

Exactly

[@PhillyMotoXTS]

Considering Belle's father stumble's across the castle and doesn't mention anything about being the home of the former prince that seems to have disappeared from sight, I would say you're correct on the first point. As far as Kate's point, the servants weren't murdered, they were just changed to furniture. Also, him "not being a good prince simply because he's not furry anymore". That's literally why he's NOT furry anymore. The spell can tell when he is truly in love and is loved back and is a changed person.

[@RannonSi]

@@PhillyMotoXTS I can't remember anything about him having to change, just being loved.

[@Narashive]

Also, what happened to his parents? Because he was only a child when the witch showed up and turned him into the Beast.

[@chipscreations3987]

[@TlalocW]

Who knew that it could almost have been a true political commercial featuring Roy Moore in 2018.

[@Loremastrful]

I'd put in for a transfer to Atlantis: The Lost Empire. 1) No singing Princess. In fact, not only is Kida supermodel hot, she also serves in the Altantian military so she's like the Bar Rafeli of Atlantis. 2) Hoverfish: Roads where we're gong we don't need roads. In 1910, you can zip around in your own flying hammerhead. Spanish flu might get me in the end, but only if it can fly. 3) Longevity: the Atlanteans aren't immortal but living thousands of years is good enough. 4) Many opportunities. You want to live as a simple fisherman, grab a net and start casting. You want to study ancient civilization, grab a journal and get cracking. You want to build mechanical marvels there are plenty advance tech waiting to be repurposed or reversed engineer. Atlantis has it all.

[@hydrogenone4926]

Don't forget force fields, LASERS, and mechanical war machines of "DOOM".( Leviathan, for all your pesky anti-invader needs)

[@Azrael666Azazel]

While I agree this is probably the best answer, and I did pot a comment that Atlantis is my pick, you still have to deal with the empire emerging from the depths of the ocean just in time for WW2 to break out. You have a civilization that has little contact with the outside world now being thrust upon the international stage and having to decide how to interact and who to be allies with. Plus, people would either try to conquer atlantis andor convert them.

[@tylerharris7081]

The disadvantages of living in Atlantis. 1. you better like live sea food, because that's all you will eat forever. 2. Forget about traveling or meeting new people because your living in an underwater city that is almost completely inaccessable. 3. you're gonna have to live forever with a group of people who are so backward and primitive they can't even read their own language.

[@hydrogenone4926]

Unless you factor in where the 2nd movie left off, along with the setting it gave(though I will admit it sucked). By the way Azrael, the first movie took place around 1914 before WW1. Though the political landscape would definitely change.

[@Azrael666Azazel]

Michael Schuster Thanks for that. I just remember Milo stating in the first movie that the bad guy would sell Kila to the Kaiser.

[@WallzTheGamerplaysGames]

"It's fucking delightful as shit."

[@Fanimati0n]

What about Moana? I know that she's not technically royalty, bu neither is Pocahontas. Moana is a strong, competent leader, she has years of experience in ruling, she saved the world from darkness, taught her people how to sail and fish, has an extended knowledge of agriculture which she uses to ensure lush field and groves of fresh crops. And you get to live on ocean front property. Sounds like a sweet gig.

[@hydrogenone4926]

Well..... as long no volcanoes erupt. It could be paradise.

[@kamenwaticlients]

Also no European, Chinese, or Arab arrival. If that happens then we have another Pocahontas especially if its the Europeans.

[@PunkExMachina]

congrats

[@FFKonoko]

You see this exact comment every time, for the same reason you see people asking when the next after hours is, or complaining about the other videos. Because they need to let people know the very small niche that they care about to try and encourage them to catar to THEM specifically. Because only they matter.

[@BEEFBEEFBEEFIFY]

people are very opinionated and they want attention and/or acknowledgement.

[@lauramax93]

Yeah... when IS the next After Hours?

[@EllieC130]

In fairness the Beast only had people as furniture because of the same enchantress that turned him into a beast.

[@hydrogenone4926]

If all the servants were turned into furniture and accessories. What do think would be the worst thing to be turn into? Me, I am thinking the worst would would be the poor bastard who got transformed into a toilet.

[@vincentrather1010]

Michael Schuster basically every bathroom item is the worst. But honestly it gets really gross when you start thinking darker, i mean you could end up beasts butt plug.

[@NoOne-zd6zb]

Why do people think the Beast had no furniture BEFORE the enchantress? Seriously, the guy would have tons and tons of non living furniture... Enough nonliving furniture to fill a castle

[@Lanoira13]

Exactly. Beast/Adam MUST have had other furniture. Even if the servants possessed the furniture, there is tons of intact furniture that's not alive. Like the table the rose is on. And the destroyed furniture is contained to that room. So it's entirely possible that the West Wing of the castle wasn't affected by the curse.

[@1492irina]

There was some inanimate furniture in the rest of the castle too, wasn't there? They probably just stayed the hell out of the west wing because, well, the Beast told them to.

I would have chosen Rapunzel's Kingdom.

[@LordMoonshadowGaGa]

Lexi Strong A huge criminal element and weird foliage that has super powers that could get you kidnapped by a witch if you ingest it.

[@zwordsman]

yeah.. but most of the criminal element can have a change of heart with literally one random song... i mean you've got the worst element that didn't of course.. but the end of hte movie them, and the witch are just plain out of hte picture. weird foliage.. is weird... but on the reverse you may stumble into magic yourself

[@ddqfpluskick]

+Zwordsman Plus a monarchy that makes you celebrate their day of morning.

[@k9commander]

Holidays are good. You either get the day off, or its good for commerce. The entire time (including after the movie) you're just celebrating the Princess' birthday. It may be sad for the king, for most of the movie, but has no real emotional impact on you. When the Princess comes back, the king is happy and probably buys more stuff from the merchants to celebrate. As long as he's not using the kingdom's money, this is good for commerce.

[@dappperdan5731]

Yeah but the "celebration" of their morning is just lighting paper lanterns. All in all not a bad day. It's like a medieval Fourth of July. Yeah it's because the princess was kidnapped, but the forth of July is at its root the celebration of a whole lot of death, colonial death most of all, so on the whole no more morbid. I bet the whole day leading up to the lighting of the lanterns is a big festival. Every other scene kind of implies it's a pretty good life, in the city proper of course.

I can't even begin to tell you how much better my life would be if I had little mice take care of my drunk father back before I was irreparably damaged... and I'm counting it, because I think it's in the same universe as Great Mouse Detectivesame, which has a kingdom... not entirely sure.

[@AmityvilleFan]

that's not a kingdom. And rodents are the New World Order.

[@zwordsman]

Criteria was kingdoms though.. otherwise that does open some great choices.

[@Werewolf_Korra]

Zwordsman​​ if you believe the Disney one world theory, it takes place in the same world as Great Mouse Detective, which has a kingdom or "mousedom"

[@joeytheredkangaroo]

Yeah abusive parents suck.

[@Loremastrful]

Perhaps, but who looks out for the orphan mice? Remember in Great Mouse Detective, the little girl is pretty much on her own in London, not just Mouse London, but big people London. She was lucky to find Basil and Watson, and luck he took the case and offered protection, but outside of that she was days from being some animals next snack. I wouldn't choose Mousedom. Mice have very short lives, Gus Gus and Jacques would be lucky to see Cinderella return from her honeymoon and Bianca and Bernard probably wound up as eagle chow when the boy wasn't looking.

[@TirasWorld]

I'd live in Atlantis from the Atlantis movie. Just entering a cultural renaissance, joined the surface in the early 20th century plus the Leviathan which would kick ass as a defensive force for the country and a shield so they can't be nuked by jealous foreign governments, plus you get to be fucking immortal (or close to it) I mean Kida's 8000 years old and looks like she's in her twenties and the crystal thing prevents disease so that's some effective universal health care.

[@aardbei54]

[@TirasWorld]

[@IN10SEGAMING]

+Max imilian but you have a chance of being the 99% who die in the tsunami in the beginning of the movie

[@vonfaustien3957]

Isnt it in the same universe as the gargoyles cartoon? If so you might have some problems with the fay, dickish billion airs and pissed off gargoyls who want to kill all humans

[@TirasWorld]

No this is during the movie so you're either one of the survivors of Atlantis or someone living in early 20th century society... Actually I think I poked some holes in my idea. Early 20th century means that WWII is coming, so you have a good chance of dying from the war, or the existence of Atlantis and it's modernization and integration with the surface world leads to a completely different history. But then again Atlantis already has a different history with the way technology and society has progressed, that explains the diversity of the crew, a teenage girl being a lead engineer isn't something that would happen for our world at that time period so maybe my point still stands.

Technically, Michael might actually be able to be a bear in lion king. Since the movie doesn't have any sort of setting for time , the only other option is other movies. Which would be Hercules, since scar shows up there as a pelt. And around that time there might still have been Sahara/ sub Saharan bears still alive since they did once exist there , possibly even during the time of roman republic since they had bears in their games

[@FinalDragoon]

[@amybrown1823]

Jordan Barkley The story starts when she is 21, but she is locked up long before that because of her problems.

[@thevine2010]

Except she didn't bury the kingdom in snow till after she turned 21. Plus learning how to use her powers after she ran away and a few songs later. I am surprised that the sisters were so close even when they drifted apart after so many years.

[@LorieLynn]

The movie shows us Elsa almost killing her sister as a child, then it runs us through several years of Elsa locking herself away while she attempts to get control of her powers. It then begins the story with her at age 21 still not able to control her powers. So basically through her teenage years into her early twenties she was like a bomb that could go off at any second and freeze the kingdom to death.

[@Merilirem]

Yep. Scary times. Good thing nothing happened.

[@dorkmax7073]

Two things on Cinderella: 1. The word for squirrel fur (vair) sounds like the word for glass (verre), so the original probably featured a fur slipper that was later changed as wordplay. 2. "Fur slipper" was probably a euphemism. The Prince spent the night trying out all the young ladies and recognized Cinderella in the morning because she had a tight fit

[@RannonSi]

Which only makes it worse. ^^.

[@LunchladyToby]

The Tangled kingdom would be dope. people in town are nice. There are robbers and ruffians but they have dreams and aren't that bad. p.s. the guards were right pretty much the whole time. bad prison system tho... but what are u gunna do

[@michaelbcohen]

This and Escort Mission are the two best shows here, just make these two more often

[@arabhero10]

Oh come on. Aryndelle would be great to live in. Post-Frozen, Elsa proves herself to be confident, tough yet fair, and smart (when her anxiety isn't taking over). But to balance her out is Anna, who can totally handle being her vizier or something. For a small coastal kingdom, things look pretty good. Happy townspeople that have managed to get on without a huge amount of government oversight, nobody bothered to claim the throne in the absence of the king and queen, Elsa was largely respected on her coronation day. Solid import/export economy, everyone's got nice homes, they're living in a Scandinavian Fjord, which has harsh winters but nobody seems to fussed about it. Even when Elsa freezes the castle town everyone is more worried about Elsa than they are the magic ice. I think it'll be ok.

[@BriAngel476]

the kingdom in tangled looks lovely. the king and queen are barely seen but they seem well liked, and the villagers are all happy to be there. they dance together in public and have beautiful festivals!

[@Highice007]

Being a baker in Belle's time would net you a very short lifespan. Bakers until very recently in history lived an average lifespan of 30 to 45 years tops. They had a documentary on Victorian bakers, and all the ills it entailed.

[@hydrogenone4926]

I would go with Atlantis an Ancient Kingdom with ridiculous amount technology like personal healing/anti-aging crystal, awesome transportation, lasers, and a city force field to defend the island from pesky invaders (while the Levitation beats the crap of them). More than likely if I was citizen of this empire I could probably be a fisherman fishing for those crazy looking lobsters.

[@Sierlea]

Problem is, well, they don't end up well, do they? They're a bit of an ex-kingdom now

[@hydrogenone4926]

Well actually if you go with where they left off in the second film(I will admit it sucked). They are now back on the surface, with advanced technology, and their amazing culture. Of course it's not back to its former glory of the it's past where it was at least 1000x bigger in terms of land mass and population. The biggest problem I see is the political climate for it takes place around the 1920s.

[@ReelSchool]

"F***ing delightful as sh*t" is going on a T-Shirt. That's too funny to throw away.

[@darkmyro]

I would still say emperors new grove, the old man wasn't executed, just thrown out, and pre-adventure you'd only have to worry about having to deal with the emporor building something he wanted on your land. post adventure it would be awesome cause all the corruption is out of the gov't and the emporor is pretty cool to his people apologizing in person for his past transgressions. There doesn't seem to be much of a criminal element outside of the corruption too.

[@sarahgent2674]

darkmyro Pre adventure you would have to worry about having no food and then being one of the lucky few who get to see the emperor, except you don't, because you see his advisor and she is at best apathetic and at worst sadistic. Post adventure you have an 18 year old emperor who spends an inordinate amount of time with some random family (and dressing up as a woman to impress that guy's dad) instead of doing his job. And that elderly man was thrown out of a high window by strong men. If he hadn't landed in the banner, he would have died for accidentally bumping into someone and nobody cared.

[@lazarusa.carmille5351]

The beast wasn't a bad guy. He was 10 years old when the sorceress knocked on his door. He was smart in not letting a stranger inside. You know, STRANGER DANGER! Yes, he might have been a brat, but a smart brat.

[@tevincc1]

Replying to this after 8 years but Daniel does make this same argument in an episode of OPCD.

[@ryanacorn5367]

You didn't touch the political mirage to foster peace and prosperity between nations in "sleeping beauty". That seems aright aside from the evil sorceries that one time putting everyone to sleep, which being honest weddings are super long, who wouldn't like a nap in the middle? Also, in Cinderella, a young women gets made up, by magic, to look super great and turn some heads, and when she does in fact turn said heads your go to is sexism...? How about "hey top self work there fair god mother. The outfit you conjured up to be an attention grabber worked like a charm". You might want to evaluate your preconceived notions on the difference between admiration and objectification.

You have a whole day of dancing and chalk drawing and cupcakes and lantern lighting like a big 4th of July. They even threw one for a whole week that was so crazy, Eugene was too drunk to remember it. I guess the downside is that the guards are so inept at their jobs they have to rely on a horse. Granted it's the Javert of horses but they treat a horse like authority. So... maybe take some interest in home security and you'll be set.

Lol.. I've already begun to rewatch all of the after hour episodes. Such a great show. Great cast and writing

Emperor's New Groove is the greatest animated film ever made..!

[@WarrenValion]

I love it in Cinderella that the Prince's criteria is SOLELY(get it?) the shoe fitting. Like he spent an entire evening with Cinderella, yet he doesn't remember what she looked like? Why see if the shoe fits on some random woman who might not even be the same weight, ethnicity, or whatever feature as the girl he was so smitten with that he desired to marry her.

Lol at myself for going through the comment section and finding my own comment.

[@CinnamonPinch]

Corona from Tangled! A huge library, parties, dancing with the princess in the town square. Lantern party every year!

[@CeilingNinja]

I know a lot about Pocahontas since I'm from one of the Powhatan tribes (the Pamunkey, which was the tribe to which Pocahontas and her father belonged (that movie was terrible, by the way (I mean it was wrong in every way it could possibly be wrong (geographically, historically, linguistically)))). But anyway, Jamestown kind of got wrecked by famine after John Smith left and they turned to cannibalism, Pocahontas left to England and everything was okay until Chief Opchanacanough (Pocahontas's uncle) marched into Jamestown and slaughtered a whole bunch of people, then the settlers killed the Chief and more or less condemned the remaining natives (who'd died through illness and the war) to a life on crappy reservations in the swamplands of eastern Virginia. All that happened in about 40 years. So what I'm saying... Pocahontas's Kingdom ain't a swell place to live.

[@matthewcastleton2263]

It was also in the 17th century, not the 16th century. Jamestown was 1605, which is the 17th century. The 16th century are the 1500's.

[@chaka2allen139]

plus she didnt marry john smith, she married john rolfe

[@willlyon7129]

You do know that she was 11 years old when she meet John Smith, she was kidnaped, rapped, converted to Christianity, and died of small pox at the age of 22.

[@Kholdstare52]

This is just insanity. I love you guys.

[@shesaid7136]

I miss these videos 😩😭😭

[@RobTheCodeMaster]

This show has some of the best writing on youtube. kudos.

[@Giondi]

- Beauty and the Beast: Before Belle was taken prisoner, none of the villagers even knew about the Beast. They all thought Belle's father was crazy when he said his daughter was taken by a monster. Clearly Beast wasn't fucking with them and living there before the movie would have been great, if you can live without internet (which you would have to anyway, it's the one drawback all these kingdoms share). Gaston wasn't the village leader he was just a popular guy. Him being illiterate would have been fairly common in rural France in the 1700s because it was a hunting/agricultural society. It's kind of like when people point out that Hogwarts doesn't teach architecture or whatever, it's just not a skill that's necessary in his daily life. As for sexism, he clearly could have gotten with any other girl (and at least one guy) in the village but wanted Belle because she was more than a pretty face with nothing behind it. Yeah, pretty sexist. He thought a girl reading was weird but again, 18th century rural France, not a useful skill in that time and place, etc. Plus, it's a place where homosexuality was viewed in an EXTREMELY progressive way for the time. Nobody batted an eye in the new one when LaFou started massaging Gaston's ears and fell into his arms. - Cinderella: The prince went to every woman in the kingdom and had them try on the glass slipper before finally finding Cinderella. So either nobody in the entire kingdom had the same shoe size as her (fairly unlikely) or he found some matches, asked them if they had been at his ball, and they said no so he moved on. Judging by the step-sisters' actions, I'm guessing the whole deal with having them try on the glass slipper was to weed out all the girls who wanted to marry the prince and would be willing to lie about being the one he danced with. - Little Mermaid: I kind of feel like Prince Eric's kingdom wouldn't be that fantastic after a while. I mean, the new princess will eventually tell people about her life before coming to the kingdom and everyone would find out that their entire economy is based on killing sentient beings. Even if they have the land and infrastructure to start being an agricultural society (they almost certainly don't), do you eat pork and beef? I mean the fish were sentient without your knowledge, who's to say the cows and pigs aren't too? These people have a pretty big decision to make in the near future and I don't envy them at all. - Pinocchio: Wasn't mentioned in the video. Why? It would be awesome. You would just live your life, with the bonus that all the assholes get turned into donkeys when they're kids. Sure it's unpleasant to think about but seriously, all the worst people get taken out of society before they get to grow up and do anything that could cause any serious damage. In the OPCD video on the movie, one of the points is that the child to donkey carnival place is never shut down, but what if that was on purpose? What if Jackass Island is a thing everyone knows about but doesn't talk about? You may say dystopia, but I say world where Donald Trump is pulling a cart somewhere.

[@dougbecktroyd2692]

is Pinocchio a kingdom thou

[@willlyon7129]

First of all, how come the townsfolk were not aware that the prince was turned into a beast? And that they almost attempted to overthrow the prince. And the reason why Triton is using the human race as the scapegoat, and wants to separate the the two kingdoms is a metaphor for segregation. Also who is the mayor of the village that Pinocchio resides?

[@Actionfan19]

In defence of Cinderella it was established at least 2 years ago the shoe magically changes itself so that it fits Cindy specifically. Also the actual best kingdom to live in is Corona from Tangled, the princess is the most social able royalty ever and there's a good chance that members of the criminal underworld all have a soft side, you just have to deal with an annoying lady in waiting.

[@dansanders9121]

"so do all kingdoms and queendoms suck?" Yes.

[@Varatil]

"Baha! Are we talkin' about *frogs*?" Is my new favorite Soren quote. His excitement is so weird and pure

[@charyzah]

Bring back after hours 😢

[@ilovemartinmilner]

New episode! So excited!

[@Shenn3165]

the end was the best, you ate the falcon that ate your bird?!?

[@ArcaneSky]

The kingdom from Tangled seemed pretty well put together. I mean its guard weren't the brightest, and everybody gets together to celebrate a (probably dead) baby princess every year, but other than that we don't really see any problems.

[@Carlos-ne3zf]

Atlantis seems an awesome place I mean the magic crystal are the best health care ever, their life spam is ridiculous Kidda is over 8000 years and still a hot young adult in their twenties, fishers seems pretty happy, they just united to the XX century surface, the shield around the now island make it imposible to be bombarded or nuked, instead of cars that waste the enviroment you have flying fishes that run of your health care ID, architecture, enviroment and pets are awesome and their Queen actually take leading the place as serious bussines and due to her being in the army she obviously know how to rule but also is very diplomatic and caring of her people is the perfect place to live

[@themermaidmak]

YESSSS! I've been waiting for the new episode!! ❤️

[@angel-kitty-inuyasha]

Greece hasn't had a king for decades though

[@raeris]

That's what they want you to think.

[@michaeliv284]

Depending on the time period. Though about half the move takes place in Thebes, the only king we see is Zeus. So at best you could be a god or even a minor deity, considering the series showed off that Hercules wasn't the only demigod.

[@angel-kitty-inuyasha]

No I meant because Soren stops half way through saying he was to have dinner with the King of Greece.

[@manuelbarros4898]

Greece abolished the monarchy, but the king is still alive, so Soren could technically still go to a party thrown by him.

[@sidneyrosey]

I'm loving the discourse in the comment! Great minds battling it out over disney kingdoms.
