A friend sent me a message today with a pop-quiz.
Among which, was the question, "Disney movie promoting Stockholm syndrome. What is it?"
I have to admit it took me a minute, but I got it. (Beauty and the Beast)
For those of you that don't know, Stockholm syndrome is the inane feelings of adoration that hostage victims sometimes feel for their captors.
Then I spent some time reviewing a list of Disney films, and looking at all the twisted ways that things could be interpreted (and if they were real, they probably were twisted).
(Alice in Wonderland) A story of self-indulgence. Drink this, eat this, and smoke that.
(Jungle Book) Feral Children.
(Hannah Montana) This is a story of why not to marry a country-music star.
Finally we reach (Bambi). This is a story of the baby deer. He gets born, befriends a rabbit with ADHD, and goes to meet his dad--"Great prince of the forest."

--on a side-note I once had a bunny that got lost. We found our cat nursing the bunny weeks later. He was a good bunny.
(101 Dalmatians) This is a story about a determined furrier that is shamelessly denied her fur coat. I bet she's cold.(Hannah Montana) This is a story of why not to marry a country-music star.
Finally we reach (Bambi). This is a story of the baby deer. He gets born, befriends a rabbit with ADHD, and goes to meet his dad--"Great prince of the forest."
That is not a recognized principality.
So, what have we learned?
That's right.
Bambi's dad was Machiavelli.
Let me end this my saying.....
"Disney, Please I hope you don't take legal recourse."
UPDATE: After talking to a couple of friends, I believe we have have reached a quorum. A consortium of opinionated people, if you will allow. I'm just kidding, we don't care if you allow.
Disney princesses are too starry-eyed. They are like Stepford wives.
New movie premise: Disney movie with a brunette/redhead that drinks a little too much wine, and then goes out of the castle to sneak a cigarette. --Snow White meets Precious, in terms of movie breeding.
BEST SELLER or guilty pleasure?
