There's a video on YouTube called 'After Ever After' by Paint. It's about four of our beloved disney princesses and what happens after their movies end, and if i might add they're REALISTIC.
1. Ariel: Her ocean is poluted, her whale friends are being eating and she really hates the people who are ruining the ocean.
2. Jasmine: Aladdin has been captured and is in Quantanamo bay, everyone thinks she's a terrorist and she's trying to vouch for her people.
3. Belle: She is suspected of being a witch and could be burned at the stake while she suspects Adam will be taken by P.E.T.A (People for the Ethnic Treatment of Animals).
4. Pocahontas: As those of us with a education in Native American history knows she died of a diseasee. Of course the whole story in the movie is wrong, I learned that young because of a movie I had that told the real story. In the video he tells of the horror that the english, spanish and french brought to the Native Americans.
And he does all of these princess impressions to the toons of their popular disney song. Ariel- Under the Sea. Belle- The Morning In The Town. Jasmine- Alliabawa Pocahontas- Colors of the Wind
Its genius and shows how real those issues are in today's world except belle.
My problem with Disney is their inacruecy with their historical stories.
One big example is Disney's Hercules: All those who know Greek Mythology knows its totally wrong, they didn't even mange to get the big details right. For instance Zeus and Hera aren't his parents, he was born half mortal. Zeus and Hadies appearences where wrong too, their youthful. And they got all the history wrong at the beginning. If you watch it when the Muses (correct but there's 6) start their 'gospel truth' mute it because that is all bull shit. Its wrong and after I've teased my friends for hating it I'm on their side now, I HATE THAT MOVIE. Mostly for the inacurecy in the mythology.
Then theirs Pocahontas which I don't watch anymore, but that's for a different reason, because its discusting if you know the real version.
And lets not forget Anastasia which is really,in real life, tragic for those of us who know the truth.
And the problem is that children are being crippled by these mistakes. Children learning about the story of Anastasia are heartbroken when they realize she really died a sad death with the rest of her family. Children will usually fight against the real version of Pocahontas because its so different. And children or teens are just lost on the concept of Hercules in less you've never seen it then you can be salvaged.
Disney is ruining things for children. It's terrible.
