If <em>Aladdin<\/em> were set in the past, how does the Genie know who Robert de Niro or Groucho Marx are? The Genie has been trapped inside of the lamp for 10,000 years, meaning the film takes place in at least 10,300 AD. He also notes that Aladdin\u2019s clothes are \u201cso last century\u201d\u009d. So, it\u2019s thought that Aladdin takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where only Arabic has survived.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0gDFIGAXZa4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Andy\u2019s mum owned Jessie<\/h3>\n<p>Pixar\u2019s <em>Toy Story<\/em> is one of the most popular Disney films of the 90s, spurring on a second and third instalment. In <em>Toy Story 2<\/em>, we meet Jessie, part of Woody\u2019s Roundup Gang. It turns out Woody was a big deal in the 1950s; and he learns that Jessie was given up by her owner \u201d\u201c it\u2019s thought the girl Emily who owned Jessie is Andy\u2019s mother. The hat Andy wears to match Woody\u2019s when they play isn\u2019t a Woody hat at all, it actually matches the hat Jessie wears. Could the hat (and even Woody) be a childhood hand-me-down? We don\u2019t know Emily\u2019s surname, nor do we know Andy\u2019s mother\u2019s first name\u201d\u00a6<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TbQm5doF_Uc\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Anna and Elsa are related to Tarzan<\/h3>\n<p>You can\u2019t have a Disney film without heartache, and <em>Frozen<\/em> gets theirs in early. Princesses Elsa and Anna of Arendelle tragically lose their parents in a shipwreck&#8230; or so we\u2019re lead to believe. There\u2019s an interpretation that the King and Queen don\u2019t die in the sea at all. What\u2019s believed is that the Queen was pregnant when they set off on their travels, and although the ship is destroyed, they wash up on shore. They have a baby boy and go on to live in the jungle before they\u2019re killed by leopards. This leaves their son to be raised by gorillas \u201d\u201c as Tarzan was.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/store\/category\/film-and-tv\/dvd\/\">Buy cheap DVDs<\/a> with the musicMagpie Store!<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lfciC33t3M0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Jane is related to Belle<\/h3>\n<p>Whilst we\u2019re on the topic of <em>Tarzan<\/em>, it\u2019s been interpreted that <em>Tarzan<\/em> and <em>Beauty and the Beast<\/em> are linked too. Somewhat based on how similar they both look, there is a theory that Jane, Tarzan\u2019s love interest is a distant granddaughter of Belle of <em>Beauty and the Beast<\/em>. Aside from facial similarities; Jane\u2019s dress sense is similar \u201d\u201c Belle\u2019s famous ballgown is yellow, as is the dress Jane dons. They both have eccentric fathers and go on to fall in love with literally \u201d\u02dcwild\u2019 men. If you look closely enough during Tarzan, you can see Terk the gorilla playing the drums on the tea set from <em>Beauty and the Beast<\/em>, complete with Mrs Potts.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ORFWdXl_zJ4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Up is imaginary<\/h3>\n<p>The Up movie consipiracy theory is one of the darker interpretations of a Disney classic, but there is speculation that the film Up didn\u2019t happen at all. Carl Fredrickson, the grouchy old man in <em>Up<\/em> who is going to lose his house, actually dies in his sleep before he can be put into a retirement home. The balloons on his house help him ascend into Heaven, and Russell the wilderness explorer is his guardian angel. Russell needs a badge on \u201d\u02dchelping the elderly\u2019 \u201d\u201c by helping Carl to Paradise Falls (or, Heaven), Russell will earn his wings. We thought the movie was sad enough, but this interpretation takes the biscuit.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IfePzXxIuvc\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Prince Charming is actually Death<\/h3>\n<p>Again, this one might just break your heart. <em>Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs<\/em>\u2019s Prince Charming, who is meant to save her with a kiss, has become the blueprint for her perfect man ever since. It\u2019s been interpreted that he isn\u2019t her true love after all \u201d\u201c he is the embodiment of Death. When Snow White first meets the Prince, she\u2019s hanging by a well and is scared of him. Scared because of her close brush with death? Potentially. After she dies from eating the poisoned apple, Prince Charming kisses her and is taking her to the afterlife; the white horse they ride on relates to the \u201d\u02dcpale horse\u2019 in the book of Revelations.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/store\/category\/film-and-tv\/dvd\/\">Buy second hand DVDs<\/a> with the musicMagpie Store!<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZGZX5-PAwR8\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Ariel\u2019s family are symbolic<\/h3>\n<p>In <em>The Little Mermaid<\/em>, King Triton has seven daughters and Ariel is the youngest. This is symbolic because each daughter represents one of the seven seas; protagonist Ariel is the Red Sea due to her red hair, Attina is the Bering Sea which is the largest as she\u2019s the oldest and Alana is the black sea due to her black hair. Ariel is also related to another Disney favourite, <em>Hercules<\/em>. In Greek mythology, Zeus (the father of Hercules) and Poseidon are brothers. Poseidon is King Triton\u2019s father \u201d\u201c so Ariel and Hercules are first cousins once removed.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ue_SfrHHBAc\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Boo is a witch<\/h3>\n<p>The adorable toddler in <em>Monsters Inc.<\/em>, Boo, follows Sulley back to Monstropolis leaving behind her normal human world. There\u2019s a scramble to get her door so she can return, although we all become attached to her. It has been interpreted that when she grows old, she actually becomes the witch in <em>Brave<\/em>. Mary (Boo\u2019s real name) becomes obsessed with finding Sulley after she returns home. So much so, she uses the limited information she knows about him to try and trace him \u201d\u201c namely doors. She travels back in time rather than forward, trying to find magic strong enough to find him. Did you spot the carving of Sulley in the witch\u2019s cabin in <em>Brave<\/em>?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JR2Qqh-yHEU\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Jafar is the good guy<\/h3>\n<p>This interpretation kind of turns the whole story on its head, but it\u2019s down to the perspective of the narrator. The story of Aladdin is told to us by a merchant who is trying to sell us the infamous lamp (side note: it\u2019s thought the merchant is actually the Genie) so to create a convincing pitch, Aladdin has to be the good guy. Delve deeper into Jafar\u2019s involvement in the story; he could have been much more menacing but isn\u2019t, because he\u2019s inherently good. Jafar\u2019s issues stem from the sultan\u2019s inability to do his job. Agrabah is rife with homelessness and poverty, the sultan is ageing but does not have a male heir to continue the reign, and his daughter has no intention of marrying to save the city. Jafar hypnotises the sultan and tries to arrange marriage between himself and Jasmine to avoid any further turmoil in Agrabah.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2f516ZLyC6U\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Mother Gothel is the Evil Queen<\/h3>\n<p>The antagonist in <em>Tangled<\/em> is believed to be linked to one of the original Disney classics, <em>Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs<\/em>. There are a few reasons why, and despite the huge gap between production and distribution of the films, the interpretation will definitely make you think. Both women are obsessed with beauty, they look similar in both youth and their old age, and they both become old hags. More intricate details such as their daggers which lookalike, their manipulative by acting as if they are caring when truly they are not and their similar dresses which are dated at the time of each film\u2019s setting.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>We hope this got you thinking!
