I have a deep loathing of Disney. I don't really have much of a good reason, and considering I quite enjoy Kingdom Hearts, It's odd. But I hate them. Various friends of mine have suffered me ranting on to them about ways to ... hurt ... various characters from Disney. And now I have discovered the dark side of Disney. Those characters which made you smile and laugh as a child are actually quite shrouded in mystery. The results ... scary ...
Case Study # 1
Name : Peter Pan
Found : Never-Never Land
Problems : Drug related
After extensive research of this popular character, we discovered that he seemed to have broke a few rules of his favourite place. Never Never do drugs. You wonder how he *flies*? Now you know!. Now, I bet you thought the boy would never do such a thing! And parents trust their children in this ... madman! And Captain Hook ... the bad guy? Oh no oh no! This was twisted! Captain Hook just wants his money!
It started on a pleasant day in Never Land, whilst Peter Pan and Hook were getting together, moaning about how kids liked yoyo's more than them nowadays, and Hook, after .. 'accidentally' .. locking Tinkerbell in a CO chamber, offered Peter the chance of a lifetime..to fly again! So Hook gave Peter some pixie dust he aquired from the late Tinker before her unfortunate passing on, and has not, to this day, paid Hook for it. In our research for this study, an anonymous source, also known as 'Not Hook', told us this.
"Well, I remember giving .. I mean .. being told Peter was given the dust by 'someone' and not paying for it. If I was Hook (cough) then I would get the little green runt and ki..."
The phone, by the way, was firmly placed down at this point.
We asked Mr Pan for an interview, but he gave us this statement.
"I have never, in my albeit extended life, ever met or conversed with a Mr Hook. And on the subject of Tinkerbell, she has been taken to a resort in Possibly-Probably Not Land to relieve her senses and stimulate the mind. Directions for use : twic..."
(This is the main extract, before we discovered how to thoroughly wash our hair and what conditioner to use)
Case Condition : Hook wants his money, Tinker's family want justice. Peter wants dust. Needs dust. Must .. have .. dust!
Other victims : After taking a hallugenic drug, Alice claimed to have visited 'Wonderland', described with having a 'funneeee caaat' and the 'Queenie of farts (snigger)'. This is currently being investigated.
Case Study # 2
Name : Snow White
Found : Cottage, Mystic Forest
Problems : Kidnap & Ransom
One of the most elusive and problematic characters ever was Snow White. Good, and terrifically old, Walt Disney, however, changed her round to be little miss perfect. But the story was quite different. She was a wannabe teenage rebel, living with her loving evil aunt, and escaped the castle with the completely normal mirror to show them she was 'independant' and 'didn't need them'.
It was this that led her through the a mystic, scary forest (aka the Mystic Scary Forest) which shoved so much fear into her it was coming out as human waste. Just what every rebellious teen needs. And in her complete insanity, she wandered blind through the woods (she ate a bad berry .. or was it Nick Berry? She wasn't sure) and made her childish way to a cottage which was rumoured to have the source of all riches.
That was, in the form of 7 ridiculously small miners. And I mean 'ridiculously'.
Repulsive, Dozy, Lazy, Drunken, Stupid, Hopeless & Phil were their names. Walt Disney twisted this too : they got fun names, 'comedic' (I say 'comedic' I mean 'abysmally distressing') names, such as Happy and Silly and another 5 random ones. And what happened when Snow White found her happy little way to them? The only diamond supplier in the whole of that Snow White world?
She took them, their house, and their diamonds (plus mine) hostage.
(Note : At this point in Walt Disney's ... 'adaptation' ... Snow White is happy, has had the poisoned apple, and is somewhere else in Snow White land, having a great time with Prince Charming (although still wondering what life would be like if he'd gone with Prince Good-looking-but-emotionally-distraught)
She demanded respect, authority, a less lovely aunt (the idea of evil aunt came from here, mr Walt - PLAGIARISM! - Disney) and 3 30cm by 30cm by 30cm cubes of cheese. The latter, she said in her note, was
"smelly. Like me. hahahah!"
Of course, the aunt paid the ransom, and the situation has calmed, but the fact remains - it happened.
Case Condition : Snow White has learned of Walt Disney's actions, and is preparing a lawsuit against him (or at least, his 100 strong legal team).
Other 'victims' - Cinderall had it *all*. Walt Disney claimed otherwise. The rest (including many disgruntled looks and long, loud meetings) is metaphorical history.
Case Study # 3
Name : Aladdin / Genie
Found : Near Princess Jasmine (and Peridot, and Sapphire..)
Problem : Fraud
Aladdin. A perfectably reasonable character you may say. And yes, I'd aggree with you, a little. Actually, no, I wouldn't. He's a theif, a fraud, and a love rat!
Firstly, after meeting the Genie, and co-operating with him on many thefts, such as robbing Prince Opal of his prized assets (evidence found : meat cleaver) to make him inferior too, ooh, the ENTIRE MALE POPULATION, and through crimes such as theiving of jewels from palaces, temples, shrines, anyone, they collaborated for their biggest fraud ever..
They planned to rob the master of genies (ironically called Rob) of the Wish-Pile. It was a, well, pile of every wish grantable. And to do this? He had to become a genie himself. Not so hard, you'd think. Just fit into an immensely small lamp of sorts, and 'boom & poof &
So after travelling across the globe (by easyJet no less) and accessing research labs based at Twycross, Genie turned Aladdin into a variant of sulphur. He smelt like an ever-lingering fart, but hey, it would be worth it.
(Note - Genie and Aladdin were not available to comment about anything but their miserable shot at a film. By Disney. Damn them.)
So they flew back to Arabia (assuming thats where they .. 'live' ?) by easyAir (for the gas members of society) and put themselves into lamps. After self-propulsing themselves up to genie-heaven (as it's called) and stealing a bundle of wishes, they were caught by the genie version of Barbara Streisand (it smells as bad as her singing) and imprisoned. Possibly the only rogue Disney 'good' character caught.
Case Condition : Imprisoned in their own sulphurous lamps.
Other Victims : None so far discovered.
Well, there you have it. The real truth behind 3 of Disney's most popular characters. Fun and happy now? I think not!

I never liked Disney......
Creepy in so many ways.
Although Fraud and drug problems never came into it....
:D

(Excuse me, but even just a couple more reads would be nice)

> Good never(land)the less
Apologies if it has been done, but I just hate Disney.
Ask Cubist, he'll tell you :D
Good never(land)the less
