To Infinity and Beyond with These Disney Pixar Costumes

Posted by historymaniacmegan on June 8, 2016

BRAVE

While Pixar may never have existed during Walt Disney’s lifetime, there is no doubt that it shares Walt’s vision in animation and film. Pixar may only be part of the Disney empire that produces animated masterpieces that we’ve all known and loved in recent years. But it plays a significant role in the Disney dream machine as well as produces movies that could make a grown man cry. Interestingly, Pixar began when George Lucas (yes, that George Lucas) invested some of his Star Wars money to form a new Lucasfilm division called “Graphics Group” which is best known for its simulation of the Genesis scene in Wrath of Khan. Working there at the time was an animator who got fired from Disney named John Lasseter for trying to push the company to experiment with computer animation and a computer genius named Ed Catmull. You’ll hear about these guys later. Anyway, seeking money to cover divorce costs and the failure of Howard the Duck, Lucas would sell the “Graphics Group” to Steve Jobs for $10 million (yes, that Steve Jobs). It would be renamed Pixar after their first product which was a video rendering computer for medical use. It didn’t do well sales wise, but Jobs kept putting money into it and the company repurposed itself to do computer animated commercials. Meanwhile Lasseter would use CGI to make short films and show them at conventions. And eventually, Pixar would become a leader and pioneer in these CGI shorts in hopes to make an all-CGI feature film. So in the 1990s, Pixar made a distribution deal with Disney, created Toy Story, and the rest is history. Later Disney would buy Pixar for $7 billion (which was more than they bought Marvel at $4 billion) as well as made Steve Jobs a company shareholder. And eventually it bought Lucasfilm and have J.J. Abrams make The Force Awakens. Nevertheless, Pixar is a leader in CGI animation with 13 out of its 16 released so far having been nominated for at least an Oscar. Not to mention Up and Toy Story 3 were both nominated for Best Picture (and deservedly so). Nearly all their films take their subjects and turn them on their heads such as friendly monsters who only scare kids for a living, a race car remake of The Hustler, robots that teach humans to feel emotions again, etc. and in doing so pack them full of humor and drama. Their films have also been very successful at the box office mainly because they tend to cater to families and people of all ages.

That saying, you’ll find a lot of Pixar fans out there. After all, they make movies that resonate with most audiences around the world. Then there are people who are my age as well as grew up with these movies all their lives. For instance, I watched Toy Story in theaters when I was 5 as well as saw Toy Story 3 when I was in college. And it’s not unusual for some of its fanbase to dress like Pixar characters. You might find people dressed up in Pixar costumes for Halloween, at the Disney Parks, or conventions. So for your reading pleasure, I give you a treasure trove of Pixar costumes.

No aspiring cook can’t make a stew without a rat on their head.

This is from Ratatouille no doubt. But isn’t the rat supposed to be in the hat? Then again, it doesn’t matter. The kid’s cute.

2. Looks like the Child Detection Agency is on the job.

The Child Detection Agency was in Monsters, Inc. which is charged with finding kids in the monster world. Also, they believe that kids are toxic contaminants, which Mike and Sulley realize isn’t the case. Still, this is a very creative costume.

3. Iron Man Buzz Lightyear to the rescue.

Yes, this is Iron Man in a suit designed like Buzz Lightyear. Or Buzz Lightyear in an Iron Man suit. You take your pick.

4. With Carl and Russell, adventure is out there.

These are kids dressed as Carl and Russell. I guess Carl’s costume was fairly easy. And Russell has a plushie of Dug.

5. As long as Boo is in this disguise, no one can detect her.

Boo is a little girl who finds herself trapped in the Monsters, Inc. factory. But she’s unafraid of most monsters except Randall. Love how she calls Sulley “Kitty.”

6. Seems like Andy’s Toys are checking out the neighborhood.

Well, some of them anyway. Like the Rex costume. I bet someone really spent a lot of time making that.

7. For Pixar, there is no better love story than of that between Carl and Ellie Frederickson.

It’s a romance of childhood sweethearts that lasts 8 minutes with no dialogue. But it’s way better than Twilight. Anyway, these kids are so cute.

8. Looks like we have some contamination with George Sanderson.

This kid is dressed up as a monster who arrives at the factory with a sock on his back. He’s later shaved and has to wear a cone. Let’s just say it makes scaring rather inconvenient.

9. Hey, the cast of Woody’s Roundup has reunited.

Well, with the exception of Woody’s horse Bull’s Eye. But Sheriff Woody is still the rootingest, tootingest cowboy in the Wild, Wild West. The dad’s Stinky Pete the Prospector’s costume is awesome.

10. Edna Mode can always make a superhero look good.

And yet, I found another Edna Mode costume. I guess she’s a very noteworthy character based on Edith Head. Still, this is funny.

11. WALL-E is looking a bit rusty.

This one seems to be a DIY. And I bet this boy has a parent who’s a repressed art major. Nevertheless, WALL-E is so adorable and so sweet that you just want to give him a hug.

12. If you loved Up, then you’ll like seeing Carl and Russell with Kevin and Dug.

Guess this is a group costume pose. I especially like Kevin’s with the bright feathers. So creative.

13. In Toy Story, Buzz and Woody will always have a friend in each other as well as Jessie.

After all, Buzz tends to have a thing with cowgirls. But I like how the dad’s Buzz costume is DIY. Guess this is a Toy Story family.

14. For super family fun, you can’t go wrong with Syndrome and the Incredibles.

Well, they don’t look quite like the Incredibles. But I guess their costumes aren’t that hard to make. Like the Syndrome kid though.

15. Oh, Boo, did you draw a picture?

Oh, Randall’s your monster who’s voiced by Steve Buscemi. Nevertheless, this kind of funny.

16. Sorry, Darla, but you’re just not good with fish.

In case you don’t remember, she’s the dentist’s niece from Finding Nemo. And there’s a good reason why the aquarium fish are afraid of her.

17. Spare some candy for a little trash collecting robot?

Yes, this is another WALL-E costume that’s also DIY. And yes, it’s adorable as can be.

18. “I’m watching you Wazowski.”

Sure she may be an administrative worker and a slug. But Roz is more than what she seems. Yeah, she’s awesome.

19. Carl Frederickson is off for an adventure to Paradise Falls.

I guess this was a fairly easy costume to make. Like the balloons and the plush dog at the cane.

20. Seems like Riley’s emotions are acting up.

And it seems all 5 have made an appearance. Seems like Fear really knows how to dress.

21. For complex operations, you can count on the plastic army guys.

They’re characters in Toy Story by the way. And they play a role in the first movie. These are clever.

22. Mr. Incredible and Frozone are always the best of friends.

Mr. Incredible has super strength and a family to back him. Frozone has ice powers and the voice of Samuel L. Jackson.

23. Marlin always tries his best to keep Nemo by his side at their home.

I bet the mother’s costume in this took the longest. Still, like the Marlin and Nemo costumes. So adorable.

24. No little green man can ever resist the power of the Almighty Claw at Pizza Planet.

Those aliens are so memorable in Toy Story. And these costumes are just great.

25. Seems like we have child on the premises.

Because we have the CDA showing up. Oh, wait these are children dressed as the CDA monsters.

26. As you know, Marlin and Nemo live in a sea anemone.

At least that’s what appears in the movie. Still, wonder how many balloons it took for this costume.

27. Princess Merida never leaves without her bow.

This is especially when her mom’s been turned into a bear. Then again, it was her fault because she wanted to “change her fate.”

28. For a party crisis, it’s Bud Lighyear to the rescue.

Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. But you have to admit, making a Buzz costume with six pack boxes is quite clever.

29. Wonder what Bo Peep is looking for this time.

Keep in mind that she has a sheep with 3 heads. And is Woody’s main squeeze by the way.

30. Jessie is always a kind of rough and tumble cowgirl.

However, you don’t meet her until Toy Story 2 by the way. And she has a thing for space men like Buzz Lightyear.

31. This family is so monstrous it’s scary.

Looks like this family is really into Monsters, Inc. I kid costumes, especially Boo's.

Looks like this family is really into Monsters, Inc. I like the kid costumes, especially Boo’s.

32. Roz always pays close attention to the scare floor.

I guess this woman is a teacher. Doesn’t resemble a slug too much. But I could tell by the outfit.

33. Wonder what this guy has hiding in his chef’s hat.

We know it’s Remy the Rat. But don’t tell the food inspectors that. By the way, the kid is Alfredo Linguini and he’s not chef material.

34. No, that’s not Buzz Lightyear. That’s Mrs. Nesbit.

Okay, that’s Buzz Lightyear as Mrs. Nesbit at Sid’s sister’s tea party. And yes, it’s hilarious.

35. Guess this family really has to sort out their emotions.

This must be an Inside Out family. Too bad the dad is scared while the kids are sad, angry, and disgusted.

36. Looks like Russell and Kevin are taking each other well.

Yes, I know Kevin’s female. But Russell made an honest mistake naming her that. Because female birds don’t tend to have bright colors. So Russell mistaking Kevin’s gender isn’t far fetched at all.

37. Those who remember Inside Out might recall Riley’s imaginary friend Bing Bong.

When you make him sad, he’s known to cry candy. He also rides a unicorn.

38. Carl may be an old man, but don’t try to remove him from his home.

Because Carl will take the house with him when he gets out of town. Like the little Up house here. The kid is so cute, too.

39. Sometimes you need a rat to help you in the kitchen.

Yes, this is a dad and kid costume from Ratatouille. And yes, these two look so adorable.

40. For those real into Pixar, this lamp costume might make your day.

I know this is from Costume Works and is for a young child. But considering that this lamp is used for Pixar’s logo, it’s fitting.

41. You never know what monster is lurking under your bed.

However, if they scare you, just remember they’re trying to make a living. And that their world is powered by your screams.

42. Those who’ve seen Toy Story 3 can’t forget Barbie and Ken.

Guess the guys played up the Ken Doll jokes in that movie for all its worth. And yes, Ken was hysterical.

43. Riley’s imaginary boyfriend would do anything for her.

This is probably one of the easiest costumes I’ve seen from Disney. All it takes is a Zac Efron getup and a speech bubble.

44. Even at an advanced age, Carl shows no signs of slowing down.

Like how they used a walker with tennis balls on the ends. So adorable.

45. Guess this is an old picture of Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl.

Well, before they got married and had kids. It’s not wonder their children turned out to have super powers.

46. Somehow, Bo Peep tends to take to pink.

Doesn’t seem to have her shepherd’s crook with her for some reason. But I have to admit she’s has a lovely dress.

47. Seems like Merida has found something.

Not sure what she’s looking at. And I don’t know if I’d want to find out.

48. Carl will always be there to Russell to lend a helping hand.

However, he’s not going to like him at first for being a stowaway to his trip to Paradise Falls. But eventually, he’ll warm up.

49. Not sure who this little monster is supposed to be.

I know this is a character from Monsters, Inc. I just can’t put a name on him or her. Anyway, this is so cute.

50. Carl and Ellie have always shared a spirit for adventure.

Sure Ellie didn’t live to go to Paradise Falls. But that’s okay, because her best adventure was her life with Carl. And she always felt blessed to have him in her life.

51. Guess the toys are back in town at this party.

I think this might be a group costume idea for a Halloween party. Like the Potato Heads.

52. Who knew that Pixar wasn’t just for humans?

To be fair, this dog is probably not in a costume. But I think the owner is having a lot of fun having their dog in a cone.

53. See, I told you Bo Peep had a 3 headed sheep.

However, don’t ask whether it was a product of a nuclear accident at Three Mile Island. Still, at least this proves my point.

54. Seems like Russell has found a very rare bird.

I guess this is a couple’s costume idea for Halloween. All Russell needs is that helping the elderly badge.

55. When danger strikes, the Incredibles will be on their way.

And it seems everyone’s here but Jack Jack. Then again, Syndrome might not want to know what Jack Jack is capable of.

56. Among the Incredibles, Jack Jack is the baby.

However, he’s one baby you don’t want to mess with. He has a multitude of superhuman abilities like shapeshifting.

57. On Woody’s Round Up, nobody can ever forget Sheriff Woody and Jessie the Cowgirl.

Guess these two are brother and sister and are dressed for Halloween. Still, these two are so cute.

58. Looks like Russell and Kevin can’t leave without the house.

Since this is a Pixar costume post, I had to show the Up House. Just because everyone remembers it.

59. Those who like the ocean but aren’t fans of The Little Mermaid might want to go with Finding Nemo.

Yes, this is a Finding Nemo family. And it seems the parents are a diver and Darla. Like the dog shark.

60. Seems like Russell came across Mr. Frederickson’s house.

Well, he’s actually a stowaway. But still, this seems like a cute costume idea for couples.

61. EVE always has an eye for green on earth.

Yes, I know she doesn’t look quite like EVE. But you have to like the plant in the shoe that WALL-E found for her.

62. WALL-E will always go to the ends of the earth and beyond to be with EVE.

Before WALL-E, guess no one thought a robot love story could be done. But Pixar showed it could work and would make grown men cry, too.

63. Guess this picture was taken in Riley’s head.

Looks like it from how her feelings are grouped together. And Anger seems to be reading the news.

64. For some toys, the party starts when the kids are away.

I bet you can recognize some of these Toy Story characters. I have a feeling that Mr. Potato Head took the picture.

65. For this Buzz, it’s to infinity and beyond in the 19th century.

Yes, this is a steampunk Buzz Lightyear. And yes, his suit has all the gear but more suited for a bygone era.

66. This little boy has all the makings of a Wilderness Explorer.

And what an adorable Wilderness Explorer he makes. He also has most of his badges, too.

67. Looks like we have a couple of army men at work.

One is taking aim and the other is checking for mines. And in green plastic, too.

68. Apparently, Mike Wazowski is really bad with turning in paperwork.

Man, that’s almost like you see the guy in the flesh. I guess Pixar would certainly be proud with this.

69. Frozone can always keep the scene cool when it needs to be.

By “cool” I mean like anything below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Like you’d have in a walk-in freezer.

70. Wonder what Buzz Lightyear is doing at this moment on a bench.

Maybe he’s deep in thought and wants us to mind our own business. Then again, he might be waiting for Woody.

71. There is no robot that can capture WALL-E’s heart like EVE.

And it seems like this EVE really has a lot going here. Well, until she finds a plant and shuts down.

72. This little Mike Wazowski can make anyone green with envy.

Well, not quite. But you have to admit. This Mike costume is so cute.

73. I’m sure this WALL-E family is out of this world.

Well, the space station gives us a sad commentary on our culture. But this seems kind of cute costume wise.

74. Wonder if Andy will have the decency to pick up his toys on the steps.

Oh, wait. Andy is in that picture. And maybe even Bonnie. Still, this is kind of cool.

75. Apparently, two umbrellas can also find a connection.

This must be from a Pixar short I’ve never seen. Because I don’t recognize the umbrellas here.

76. I’m completely positive that not even Woody can resist this little Bo Peep.

And here she is in a little pink dress and bonnet. So adorable that she’ll just melt your heart.

77. Man, Russell must’ve found some gorgeous bird.

Yes, I know it’s a Russell and Kevin couple’s costume from Up. But this Kevin costume has feathers.

78. WALL-E always has to bring his cooler along.

Because that’s where WALL-E keeps some things of personal interest. Still, this is quite creative.

79. Greetings, Sheriff Woody at your service.

Well, I had to get Woody by himself for God’s sake. Because in Toy Story, he’s basically the main character.

80. As an Incredible, Violet has the makings of a teenage superheroine.

For some reason, I’ve seen more Violet cosplays than anyone else from that movie. Then again, it should be no surprise.

81. Looks like Carl and Ellie are having a good time at Pixar Studios.

This must be at Disneyland, California. But they do seem to be having a really good time there.

82. Looks like Bullseye has to show us whom he belongs to.

Oh, I get it. He has “Andy” spelled out on his hooves. That’s clever.

83. Even a monster can never resist Boo’s innate cuteness.

Because she’s such a sweet, little girl in pig tails. And she thinks Sulley is a kitty. Costume is so adorable.

84. Hope this Pixar lamp brightens your day.

Because it’s the kind of lamp you can’t get enough of. I mean you see this before every Pixar movie to date.

85. Oh, crap. CDA has caught up with Boo.

Well, Boo should’ve been in her bedroom but wandered off in her closet when she wasn’t supposed to. Still, this is pretty clever.

86. Seems like Anger’s being a bit temperamental lately.

Well, that’s not surprising. Still, it’s nice to see Bing Bong in there with the feels from Inside Out.

87. Looks like this dog’s house is a little Up.

Yes, this is another canine costume. And yes, it’s the house from Up on a chihuahua.

88. “I’m tour guide Barbie.”

Another character from Toy Story 2. Her romance with Ken makes you think they were made for each other. Which is very much the case.

89. Looks like EVE resembles a trash bin, literally.

Well, her costume was made from a trash bin. Like the WALL-E one, too.

90. Check out Barbie and Ken’s new jeep.

It’s said that Ken goes through several costume changes in Toy Story 3. And he’s voiced by Michael Keaton, too.

91. Uh, have you come across a large lamp?

Well, we all know the lamp gets around through jumping. Wonder how this girl sits down now and then.

92. Carl and Ellie always like to spend Halloween in the Magic Kingdom.

And here they show Ellie’s adventure book. Like their hats.

93. I’m sure this kid is just a little Buzz.

And if it’s Halloween, he’ll go to infinity and beyond for candy. So adorable.

94. Looks like this family is going UP for adventure.

This one has Carl and his wife along with Russell and Kevin. And yes, it has balloons, too.

95. With Woody and Buzz, they’ve always got a friend in each other.

Helps that the theme in their movies is “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” by Randy Newman. Still, you have to like these costumes.

96. Not sure if you can attach balloons to a cardboard house.

Apparently, you can when you see this kid. Just love the colors on them.

97. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Slinky Dog.

Yes, it’s a Slinky Dog costume for a dog. And apparently, it’s utterly brilliant.

98. Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head.

Had to get these two in sooner or later. After all, they’re among the iconic couples of Toy Story.

99. Never before have I’ve seen Buzz all blown up.

Let’s hope he stays away from sharp objects. Or else, his costume would be totally ruined.

100. Finally, to end this post, I bring you Dolly.

Dolly is one of Bonnie’s toys who helps Andy get back to Sunnyside Daycare. And yes, you can’t help but like this costume.

May You Not Live Happily Ever After in These Disney Villain Costumes

Posted by historymaniacmegan on June 5, 2016

If you think Disney is a company that specializes in cheesy movies, family friendly fairy tales, and everyone living happily ever after, then you’ve never come across these guys. Yes, dismiss Disney all you want as entertainment that reeks with a saccharine sweetness aimed to children. However, mark my words, we have to come to terms that these Disney bad guys are anything but saccharine and barely meet the decency guidelines in what can be considered children’s entertainment. In fact, for a company known to make Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh cartoons, Disney has managed to come up with some really sinister villains who have done their share of damage for the protagonists or their loved ones. And some of them have been seen among the greatest villains of all time. Some of them have even got their own songs. But even at their most evil, a lot of them attract fans since they tend to seem quite interesting, cool, and entertaining. And Disney has taken notice. However, since these are Disney movies, don’t expect them to live happily ever after or at least get what they want in the end. In fact, expect some of them getting killed through falling down from somewhere. Or worse. Though they will be missed to an extent.

sleeping-beauty-maleficent-1

Since Disney villains have their share of fans, it’s not unusual to see some of them dressed as their favorite Disney baddie. Of course, for some villains like Maleficent and Gaston, since Maleficent is an attractive sorceress who has way more lines and screentime than Aurora while Gaston, well, is so full of himself that it’s funny and even has an excellent song about how great he is. Hades and Ursula may be bad but they both have really great personalities. Ratigan and Scar are voiced by the talents of Vincent Price and Jeremy Irons respectively and both have really great songs. Also, Captain Hook and Jafar really know how to dress. Then there are others who have fans that make your scratch your head over like Hans and Frollo since Hans managed to get Anna to fall for him only to stab her in the back while Frollo thinks he’s a virtuous man of God when he’s really a complete self-righteous hypocrite who is abusive toward Quasimodo whose mother he killed and sees him as an abomination, tries to burn an entire city because Esmeralda refuses to sleep with him, goes after Captain Phoebus for disobeying an order that goes against his principles (like burning an innocent miller and his family for hiding gypsies), throws down the Archdeacon for standing in his way, and using his personally twisted theology to justify his actions. Nevertheless, I bring you a treasure trove of people dressed as the bad guys from Disney.

In Wonderland, it would be wise not to piss off the Queen of Hearts.

Because the Queen of Hearts tends to say, “Off with their heads!” which whenever someone makes her angry. And she tends to get irritated by the slightest upset.

2. As the Sultan’s Vizier, Jafar uses his cobra staff to hypnotize his boss.

I’d love to see Jafar going through airport security. Bet he’ll use his staff to hypnotize TSA agents.

3. Yzma always takes great pains to look glamorous.

It’s widely said that Yzma has a secret lab. Don’t tell anybody I said that.

4. Cruella De Vil is an absolute slave to fashion that she’ll risk animal cruelty for a fur coat.

Well, this is a 101 Dalmatians family. Still, I feel for the little puppies in this picture.

5. Didn’t know that Yzma and Syndrome were an item.

Well, Syndrome is the villain from The Incredibles who started out as a crazed fan. As for Yzma, well, she’s a sorceress from the Emperor’s New Groove who turned her boss into an alpaca.

6. Sometimes wickedness has a tendency to run in the family.

Well, to some extent. Still, you might not want to mess with this bunch if you can avoid them.

7. It would be wise to invite this little Maleficent to your party.

Because if you don’t, she might put a curse on somebody’s baby. Yeah, she doesn’t take being rejected very well.

8. As a sea witch, Ursula always tries to look her best.

And this Ursula seems quite pretty compared to what she looked like in the movie. Still, the sea witch can be captivating in her own way.

9. A little evil queen like her always desires to be the fairest one of all.

Then again, I bet she relies on a magic mirror to boost her ego. But if the mirror doesn’t do his job, oooh boy.

10. As we know, Gaston is quite a guy.

However, you have to wonder why he just get over Belle. Because I’m sure there are plenty of women in his village who’d want him.

11. As Gaston’s toady, LeFou always knows how to cheer him up.

By getting a local bar to sing a song about how great he is. Because no one does it like Gaston.

12. Cruella De Vil can always keep up her appearances.

However, not sure about seeing her with a Dalmatian and in a coat like this. Makes me wonder.

13. Someone should tell Captain Hook to avoid crocodile infested waters.

I know I’ve tried to avoid putting Peter Pan on my Disney posts. But Captain Hook is such an iconic Disney villain that I’ve made this article an exception.

14. Only Maleficent can look this good in green skin and horns.

She can also turn into a dragon if she feels the need. However, she ends up getting disembowled by Prince Philip in the process.

She can also turn into a dragon if she feels the need. However, she ends up getting disemboweled by Prince Philip in the process.

15. Sometimes it’s always the bad girls who look glamorous in Disney.

Well, as far as these costumes are concerned. But I wouldn't call Ursula, Cruella, and the Queen of Hearts as attractive in their movies.

Well, as far as these costumes are concerned. But I wouldn’t refer Ursula, Cruella, and the Queen of Hearts as attractive in their movies.

16. As Mufasa’s brother, Scar always aspired to be king of the Pride lands.

Yet, for some reason Mufasa didn’t suspect that Scar would stab him in the back. Well, until it was too late when Scar threw him off a cliff.

17. Seems like Cruella and a henchman caught at least one puppy.

However, one pup isn’t going to be enough for her. She has to have 99 of them for a coat her size.

18. Sorry, Ariel, but Eric is Vanessa’s prince once and for all.

Oh, and “Vanessa” is Ursula by the way. And she’s deliberately trying to spoil your chances with Eric so she can usurp your dad.

19. With Triton’s crown and trident, Ursula is unstoppable.

As long as Eric’s not around to impale her with a sunken ship. Because that’s how she meets her end.

20. Please don’t take an apple from this evil queen.

Because it’s laced with poison that could only be revived through an act of sexual assault. Yeah, magic potions and spells are funny that way.

21. With her staff and her trusty raven Diablo, Maleficent is a formidable Mistress of All Evil.

Sure she may attractive in black and purple. But she’s the green skin woman who people like Captain Kirk should avoid.

22. There is no tot as manly as baby Gaston.

No one poops like Gaston or give big toots like Gaston. No one goes stomping around wearing boots like Gaston. I bet little guy will use antlers in all of his decorating.

No one poops like Gaston or give big toots like Gaston. No one goes stomping around being so cute like Gaston. I bet little guy will use antlers in all of his decorating.

23. Cruella De Vil is always clad in black, white, and red all over.

Like how she’s carrying a red handbag with her costume. And she’s wearing leopard prints, too. So creative.

24. At Agrabah, Jafar wishes to have Jasmine in his clutches.

Mostly because marrying her gives him a way to legitimate his power. Other than that, he doesn’t care what she thinks.

25. Apparently, this little Maleficent isn’t pleased.

Let’s hope she doesn’t have your teenage daughter pass out after touching a glowing spinning wheel. Yes, this is one mean witch you don’t want to cross.

26. “Magic mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?”

“And if it’s anyone other than me, I’ll kill em.'” Look, Queen, maybe you get rid of that mirror, and be the fairest one of all in your own life. Seriously, do you think you can solve your problems by killing Snow White? No.

27. Ursula never underestimates the importance of “body language.”

I know some said that Ariel should’ve known better than to sign a contract with Ursula. However, Ursula clearly didn’t hold her end of the bargain and did everything she could so Ariel wouldn’t succeed with Eric. Oh, and she used Ariel’s voice to hypnotize Eric, too.

28. Introducing Maleficent in her armored glory.

I don’t think Maleficent needs an outfit like that as Mistress of All Evil. She’s pretty badass in her traditional get up already.

29. I wouldn’t look right into Jafar’s staff if I were you.

Because that’s how he hypnotizes the Sultan. However, before the Genie, his powers can only go so far.

30. “Do you play croquet?”

And yes, they play with hedgehogs and flamingos in Wonderland. Animal rights people, if you see anything wrong with it, shut up in her presence if you want to live.

31. “And now that I’m grown, I eat 5 dozen eggs so I’m roughly the size of a barge.”

And that if Gaston wasn’t killed by the fall in Beauty and the Beast, heart problems would’ve gotten the better of him. Seriously, that’s not healthy.

32. Judge Claude Frollo always sees the world engulfed in hellfire and sin.

However, Frollo is a self-righteous hypocrite who never admits that he’s in the wrong. And despite being “justly proud” of his “godly virtue,” he’s willing to burn a city because some gypsy girl won’t sleep with him.

33. For Mother Gothel, mother always knows best when it comes to Rapunzel.

And she’s basically keeping Rapunzel in a tower because her hair has healing powers and could make her look young. But yes, Gothel is really nasty.

34. On Villains Vogue is Cruella De Vil.

And she sure knows how to dress. Wonder how many dogs had to die for that fur coat she’s wearing.

35. Stinky Pete the Prospector from Woody’s Round Up has never been removed from the box.

Well, until he got himself out of it, of course. He’s quite manipulative and does everything to make sure Woody never returns to Andy. Then again, he has no idea what it’s like to be loved as a toy.

36. Ursula is always willing to lend a hand for some “poor unfortunate souls.”

Well, for a fee anyway. Still, if you don’t keep your end, well, you’ll just end up in her polyp garden.

37. A queen always looks regal in purple.

However, an evil queen is never satisfied unless she’s fairest one of all. And she’s willing to resort to putting an ugly disguise and poisoning her stepdaughter to have that.

38. In Neverland Captain Hook wants Peter Pan dead.

However, if some kid sliced your hand off and fed it to crocodiles, you’d be angry, too. So you can’t really blame Captain Hook for going after the guy.

39. If Cruella De Vil doesn’t scare you, no evil thing will.

Well, this woman’s Cruella coat is almost spot on. And it has a red lining to go with it.

40. This little Ursula is a real sea monster.

And despite her demeanor, Ursula is really not to be trusted since she only cares about herself. Still, I think this costume is adorable.

41. Guess this little girl can be a bit Cruella so to speak.

And she doesn’t look happy either. Though to be fair, Cruella isn’t a happy person, at least towards the end.

42. As god of the Underworld, Hades is lord of the dead.

Yet, in Greek mythology he’s not a bad guy. And in the Hercules legend, all he does is tell Herc not to harm Cerberus and bring him back when he’s done. And Herc did.

43. There must be some gathering of Disney villains here someplace.

Yes, you see a lot of your favorite Disney baddies. That guy in the hunting outfit is from Bambi, by the way. He shoots Bambi’s mom.

44. Didn’t know Deadpool was a fan of Disney villains.

Yet, here we have a Deadpool Jafar and Maleficent. Wonder what side these two are on.

45. Guess Aurora is now what you call a “sleeping beauty.”

Because Maleficent had to put a curse on her since she wasn’t invited to her christening. Now on to capturing Prince Philip.

46. Ursula can be quite a looker in her human form.

But she hypnotizes and seduces Eric with Ariel’s voice in her shell necklace. Thankfully the sea creatures intervened before she could marry him.

47. Mother Gothel will do almost anything to retain her youthful appearance.

After all, how else can she retain a body like this without Rapunzel’s hair? So that’s why she kept the girl in a faraway tower.

48. Maleficent may be a bad girl but she’ll never back down.

Besides, she can be quite cool since she almost won part way through. If she had Philip killed and had the Good Fairies turned to stone, she would’ve been victorious.

49. For a Pre-Columbian priestess, Yzma always decks herself in feathers.

May not be over the top, but it’s quite clever. Even if this costume is mostly made from tulle.

50. Which will it be poison apple or heart in a box?

And both will be used on Snow White, her stepdaughter. The Evil Queen can be quite nasty as you see.

51. Man, does Stinky Pete have a big pick.

Wonder if it helped him get out of that box. Still, despite his grandfatherly exterior, Stinky Pete isn’t a nice guy or he wouldn’t be on here.

52. Dr. Facilier is a witch doctor you might want to avoid in New Orleans.

Yes, turn Naveen into a frog and have his servant take the form of the prince. Wonder what can go wrong there.

53. Guess the Evil Queen is insistent on offering the apple.

Guess this is a couple’s costume idea with the guy as the Magic Mirror. Doesn’t seem too happy here. But does he ever? No.

54. Lady Tremaine is a social climbing fiend who really hates her stepdaughter.

Of course, her own daughters aren’t lookers themselves. Also, I have no idea why she doesn’t use Cinderella to further her interests. I mean I’d do the same if I were her.

55. It’s always hard to imagine Yzma without her Kronk.

I guess her henchmen position had few takers. Because Kronk is a complete tool. Funny, but a tool.

56. For Captain Hook, Smee is his right hand man.

As you can see, Disney henchmen mostly tend to be idiots. Smee is no exception but he’s not a mean guy though.

57. Madam Mim is said to be a rather powerful sorceress.

She’s from the Sword and the Stone which is about King Arthur. She doesn’t have a lot of screentime but she tends to be rather popular.

58. A Queen of Hearts always has to have her robes lined with furs.

And here she is with a flamingo as a croquet mallet. Don’t piss her off. Really, if you value your life, just don’t.

59. In some Disney families, it’s good to be bad.

Here we have Jafar, Curella, Maleficent, and Syndrome. And yes, everyone in the clan looks very evil.

60. Cruella De Vil always has to look stylish in furs.

Notice how she dresses in black, white and red? But at least in this one she’s wearing a big hat.

61. When hungry, avoid women like her.

Because her apples are poison. Also, she’s the Evil Queen in disguise by the way.

62. Apparently, Kronk and Yzma seem to have a good time.

In movie the Emperor’s New Groove, this isn’t the case. Because Yzma is always mad at Kronk being an idiot, which is good comedy.

63. Lady Tremaine always tried to get her daughters to marry well.

Unfortunately, her girls don’t fare well in the looks department. Though that may not matter much.

64. Looks like little Cruella has found at least one of the puppies.

And it seems like this little puppy is crying. Then again, you would, too, if you were near her. Still, this is perfect.

65. So Gothel, Jafar, and Ursula walk into a bar.

And they seem to get along together. Then again, Gothel isn't over dominating the world. But Jafar and Ursula, I'm not sure.

And they seem to get along together. Then again, Gothel isn’t hot with dominating the world. But Jafar and Ursula, I’m not sure.

66. Seems like Snow White is in a lot of trouble here.

Because this one has the Evil Queen and her hag disguise. And she’s offering a poison apple, too.

67. Jafar might want to watch his back if he’s smart.

Because Aladdin is wielding a sword at him for good reason. Perhaps he should try to aim for his pride.

68. Even the notorious Cruella De Vil had to start out small.

Yes, I know Cruella isn’t nice, especially to animals. But this costume is so cute.

69. Looks like the Disney villains are having a poker night.

Then again, they might be scheming against each other. Or maybe not. I can’t tell.

70. Mother Gothel never leaves home without her cape.

However, she always makes sure Rapunzel never leaves the tower. Ever. Because she’s really intent on staying young.

71. Claude Frollo always sees himself as a righteous man.

However, he’s not because he abuses Quasimodo and lusts after Esmeralda that he makes life miserable for everybody when she rejects him. He’s a real nasty piece of work.

72. No, Cruella, I don’t think your dog wants a fur coat.

Then again, it’s probably part of the outfit. You have to give kudos to creativity to say the least.

73. “Off with their heads!”

Now there’s a woman you really don’t want on your bad side. Unfortunately for you, it’s very easy to get there.

74. Sometimes Gaston likes to show off now and then.

However, I have strong doubts Belle would be impressed. Because she rejected him multiple times.

75. Oh, dear, Mother Gothel has a knife.

Guess she found out that Rapunzel left the tower and skipped out. That can’t be good.

76. No I don’t think Elsa would get skimpy for Prince Hans.

Because Hans is the bad guy in Frozen and he’s no Han Solo. I mean he tried to take over her kingdom. What don’t you understand?

77. Don’t tell me that Cruella already skinned some of the puppies.

Okay, this is kind of sick. Seriously, this is demented. But pretty creative since you don’t see costumes like that.

78. Didn’t know that was Sid all grown up as a garbage man.

Okay, he’s not a villain at this point. But some of the things he did in the first Toy Story really freaked the toys out. I mean really.

79. Introducing Maleficent and the Evil Queen, steampunk style.

Yes, these bad girls are dressed like they’re from the 19th century. Doesn’t make them less menacing though.

80. Prince Hans is a man from the Southern Isles.

And he wants to rule a kingdom but being the youngest of 12 brothers, he doesn’t have a chance. Unless he marries Anna and takes over Arendale. Then again, maybe he should’ve just given up his power trip and find himself a hobby.

81. Here we have Yzma and Kronk in the secret lab.

Actually it’s a “secret lab” that everyone knows about. And let’s just say, it doesn’t go all well to Yzma’s plan.

82. Ursula is always accompanied by her eels Flotsam and Jetsam.

Basically the only two creatures Ursula cares about or mourns for. As for everyone else, well, they’re either a pawn or an enemy.

83. The Queen of Hears would like some tarts after a game of croquet.

Now I like the use of the garden flamingo in this as a mallet. I think think it’s ingenious.

84. Here Vanessa takes a stroll on the beach at night.

I guess that’s where she’ll get Eric to dump Ariel so she could get back at Triton. Yes, this is Ursula as you see.

85. Looks like Hades is enjoying himself after all.

And is that Persephone? Then again, probably not. Still, that’s a pretty good costume of Hades.

86. Sorry, Vanessa, but you’re not fooling anyone.

I know that’s a painting instead of a mirror. But it kind of illustrates the point if you don’t get me wrong.

87. “Choose me or the fire.”

Okay, that’s kind of a disturbing cosplay. But then again, Frollo is a really disturbing guy who really needs to admit that something’s wrong with him.

88. Oh, dear, Ursula is about to stab Flounder.

And she’s going at him with a fork. Disturbing, but appropriate.

89. Where would Yzma be if she didn’t have her gigantic plume?

Well, the plume was much bigger in the movie. Yet, this one is made from construction paper. Obviously.

90. Who knew that Maleficent could look so pretty in purple?

Sure she may be the Mistress of All Evil. But even you have to admit that this is adorable.

91. Apparently, Ursula is not amused.

Then again, a tutu skirt would be perfect for Ursula. Because she is part octopus as we know.

92. Relax, Hades is cool, at the moment.

Well, here he is with a skull. Poor Hades. All he wants is to take over Mount Olympus because his job as ruler of the Underworld sucks.

93. Yes, Cruella’s hair isn’t always a consistent color.

But you have to admit, the woman really loves her furs. And her fashion.

94. Maleficent is just out to get some fresh air.

Well, maybe she’s trying to look for Aurora. However, I don’t think she’s up to any good at this point.

95. Want to share with Hades?

Okay, that cup is filled with gummi worms for flames. But still, don’t touch his awesome blue hair.

96. Of course, this little sea witch hasn’t been in a good mood lately.

What’s the matter? King Triton won’t let you borrow his trident? Oh, there, there.

97. As Governor of Jamestown, John Ratcliffe believes that riches are found below.

Unfortunately, he was completely wrong about the gold. So he blamed the Indians and tried to attack them. What a prick. But nice pigtails.

98. Somehow, Hades seems to approve for some reason.

Well, he’s giving a thumbs up. Still, you have to admit, he’s pretty funny in Disney’s Hercules if you ask me.

99. Here we have the Horned King getting chummy with Marvel’s Doctor Doom.

The Horned King is a villain from the Black Cauldron that was made in the 1970s. He wants to use the cauldron to make a zombie army. That’s all I know.

100. Yes, Frollo just stand pretty with your hands folded.

Sure Frollo has a cool outfit. But his falling off Notre Dame’s roof and into molten metal. Bye, bye, Frollo. You won’t be missed.

Be the Fairest One of All in These Disney Princess Costumes

Posted by historymaniacmegan on June 3, 2016

As you may know, Disney tends to be known for their official Disney Princess franchise which consist of female protagonists who’ve appeared in their movies and somehow left a mark on pop culture. They could be royal by birth, royal by marriage, or just be a kickass heroine in her own right. Let’s just say Disney throws the term rather loosely. As of 2016, the official Disney Princess line-up consists of Snow White, Aurora, Cinderella, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan, Tiana, Rapunzel, and Merida. There are also unofficial Disney Princesses who aren’t included since their films didn’t do well at the box office, marketing wasn’t successful, or they’re too young. Or in Anna and Elsa’s case, their franchise was so successful that it was irrelevant for them to be included in the line-up. But since Mulan and Pocahontas can be official Disney Princesses, I’m just going to play fast and loose with the term and include the unofficial line-up. After all, when you want to do a post about Disney Princesses, I’d rather just go by the line-ups according to the fans, not the franchise.

Princess-and-the-frog-disney-magical-moments-16506368-1280-720

As you can see, a lot of Disney Princesses tend to have a wardrobe full of iconic outfits you’ve seen in their movies. And it’s not unusual for many Disney fans to dress up as these leading ladies either whether it be for Halloween, on a Disney trip, or for a convention. So for your royal reading pleasure, I present to you a treasure trove of Disney Princess costumes considered the fairest ones of all.

Guess Snow White bit into the wrong apple.

You know what they say about not taking food from strangers. Now she needs a guy to kiss her so she can come back to life.

2. Seems like Cinderella started doing chores for her stepmother and stepsisters at a young age.

This is a baby Cinderella in rags costume. Wonder if it comes with its own little broom and dust bin.

3. Here we have Ariel washed up on the beach.

And I see she has straps to her purple seashell bra. I’m sure Ariel didn’t have that in the movie.

4. In Thebes, Megara wears a simple purple Grecian gown.

Yes, I know Megara isn’t an official Disney Princess. But being a daughter of Creon, she’s a royal by blood. Also think this costume is amazing.

5. Looks like Queen Elsa is letting it all go at the moment.

And it seems like she’s changing her coronation dress in favor of a blue Snow Queen gown. But she had Arendale suffer eternal winter in the process.

6. Princess Anna has just put on her winter get up to search for her sister in the snow.

Well, that’s a cute costume. Not sure if it’s good for increment weather. But I like it.

7. Seems like Cinderella doesn’t like being bossed around by her wicked stepmother and ugly stepsisters.

This one has a little girl dressed up as Cinderella with Disney costumed characters. It’s kind of adorable and it seems like the evil stepmother and stepsisters are good sports.

8. Seems like the jungle has a little Jane Porter in their midst.

Sure Jane isn’t an official Disney Princess. But I think this photo op is so cute. Like the little girl’s dress.

9. Pocahontas always has a soft spot for her woodland creature friends.

This is her with Meeko the raccoon. She has hummingbird friend, too. But I forget its name. Is it Flick?

10. Man, Genie always has to appear at the worst moments does he?

I’m not sure what to think about that Jasmine costume. But I do love Genie’s.

11. Here we have Belle in the garden with a rose in hand.

And in her yellow ball gown, too. However, if she was outside, I’d think she’d be wearing something else. Like her normal blue dress.

12. Sometimes a beauty comes with a little beast.

I guess these two are brother and sister. Love the little boy’s beast outfit. So cute.

13. This steampunk Snow White comes with a goggles and gas mask.

I can tell because she’s dressed in primary colors and has an apple in hand. Still, I think this outfit is pretty.

14. Looks like Snow White isn’t the only one calling dibs on her prince.

Uh, don’t the other ladies have men in their lives? Also, Snow White’s prince doesn’t really do much of anything except kiss her out of a coma.

15. In her mother’s pink dress, Cinderella is all set for the ball.

Until her stepsisters end up defacing it to ruin at her stepmother’s insistence. Fortunately, she has her Fairy Godmother to help her this time.

16. For the love of God, Snow White, don’t take the apple.

I think this is a mother and daughter cosplay. Nevertheless, this Snow White is so adorable in her little dress.

17. This little Pocahontas is confident she can paint with all the colors of the wind.

And she doesn’t look much younger than the real Pocahontas in 1607. Still, like how they did the necklace.

18. In Disney, even a princess isn’t below dressing in rags and doing chores.

This little girl is dressed as Snow White in rags. And here she is with a Snow White at Disney. Seems so proud.

19. Jane Porter can never do without a parasol in the African jungle.

I know Jane’s outfit isn’t suited for the African climate. But a Victorian lady must keep up appearances even when it’s inconvenient.

20. As a mermaid, Ariel is bound to sparkle.

And here she is with her Prince Eric. I know that she has a mermaid dress and a sparkly bra. But it’ll do.

21. Guess this little girl makes a perfect Pocahontas.

Well, this costume is almost close to the real thing. And this girl doesn’t seem much younger than the real Pocahontas either. So cute.

22. Seems like Cinderella showed her ungrateful folks.

These women are great in their roles. And the little girl in the Cinderella gown is smiling. Love it.

23. This Belle gown seems quite fancy for some reason.

Doesn’t look like the one in Beauty and the Beast. But it doesn’t look bad. Might be a little heavy though.

24. Apparently, Jasmine has to accept that Aladdin can’t go without his little monkey.

You may notice that there are more modest Jasmine costumes out there. But this family photo op is adorable.

25. Seems like Gaston can be quite a gentlemen when he wants to.

Even so, I don’t this little Belle is going to accept him. But it makes a cute photo op.

26. For Belle, there must be something more than this provincial life.

And here she is with a book in her hand. Just like you’d see in Beauty and the Beast. Love it.

27. Looks like Ariel is spending some quality time with her father King Triton.

Maybe. But I think the guy thought that King Triton was much cooler. After all, he has a muscular build, a long white beard, and a golden trident. And he tends to sound fairly reasonable to a point.

28. Seems like Merida has chosen a suitor.

Then again, this is a couple’s costume idea. Still, I think it’s quite amusing with the guy showing off.

29. Here we have our Disney Princesses and back from the grave.

Hmmm…..zombie disney princesses. Not sure whether it’s a great idea. But it sure is an interesting one.

30. Ariel is just going to dip her feet in the water for awhile.

I think this might be a more doable Ariel costume. At least it only consists of a bow and a dress. Hope the skirt doesn’t get wet.

31. Apparently, Jasmine simply looks stunning in red.

This is a slave Jasmine costume when she was held prisoner and Jafar took over the palace. Thankfully, Aladdin had Genie around to save the day.

32. Normally, Esmeralda tends to stand near a wall waiting for people to entertain.

Well, she ‘s a Gypsy street performer in Paris. It’s part of her job. And even that has its lows now and then.

33. Come winter, you can see Belle in her red snow cape.

She wore this when she and the Beast were feeding birds. Like when the birds are all over the Beast.

34. In armor like this, Mulan took on the Huns and saved Captain Shang’s life.

However, she got wounded, was discovered as a woman, and got left for dead. However, she gets better. Like how this woman used black construction paper as armor plating.

35. Guess Belle and her B-I mean prince are doing quite well lately.

Didn’t know the Beast had a lighter hair color. But Belle’s gown sure looks stunning here.

36. Even a little Cinderella always needs a stick in hand.

Yes, it’s another little girl as Cinderella in rags. And yes, she’s just as endearing and adorable.

37. Instead of waiting for your prince to come, perhaps dress as your prince.

Unless you’re Princess Jasmine. Because women’s toplessness tends to be frowned upon. Unless she’s dressed as Prince Ali.

38. For some reason, Belle hasn’t been full of life lately.

She seems more undead than anything these days. And the blood on her dress is making her seem a bit beastly.

39. A little girl who’s wheelchair bound can go as Cinderella in her coach.

And one that can even light up, too. Really like how they did this. Girl must be so happy.

40. With providing housekeeping for a stepmother and 2 stepsisters, Cinderella can really use a break.

And it seems Cinderella has her day cut out for her. No wonder she wanted to go to the ball.

And it seems Cinderella has her day cut out for her. No wonder she really wanted to go to the ball.

41. Only the most worthy is worth Jasmine’s heart even if he’s a diamond in the rough.

Of course, he probably won her over by pretending to be a prince. Then again, Jasmine might’ve known better. Not sure if it’ll lead to major trust issues.

42. Anyone can be a Disney Princess. Doesn’t matter who you are.

Well, I’ve seen women dress up as superheroes and sci-fi characters. So I don’t see why a man shouldn’t dress as a Disney Princess if he wants to.

43. If you liked Frozen, then Anna and Elsa costumes are perfect for 2 sisters.

After all, the movie is a story of sisterly love. And these girls look so cute in their costumes.

44. Introducing warrior princess Jasmine.

I’m sure Jafar would never mess with a woman armed to the teeth. Note that she also keeps a pet tiger.

45. Princess and the Frog fans are sure to love Tiana’s iconic bayou dress.

I think she might be a costumed character. But I don’t see a lot of Tiana costumes around. So I have to go with what I have.

46. I bring you Disney Princesses: Hipster Edition. Because regular ones are so mainstream.

And it seems that Ariel shows more skin than Jasmine. I wonder which princess the one on the right is supposed to be. Or is that Tinkerbell?

47. Even in her finery, Merida can still kick ass.

Well, here she is in a finer dress and with her red hair in a blazing glory. Very pretty but you don’t want to mess with her.

48. Ariel’s tail has gadgets and gizmos aplenty.

Here’s Ariel with a steampunk tail. I know it might seem far-fetched. But it works.

49. As princess of Atlantis, never underestimate Kida.

She later becomes queen by the way and remains under the sea. However, she’s not counted among the Disney Princesses because her movie didn’t do well at the box office.

50. Seems like these two are nearly the perfect match.

However, the girl’s Cinderella ball gown is closer to the original movie. Despite what you see on merchandise, Cinderella is a strawberry blond and wore a silver ball gown. Not a blonde who were blue.

51. Never underestimate Rapunzel with a frying pan.

And I can tell this one didn’t come with the costume because it looks fairly modern by design. Still, this is clever cosplay.

52. This Snow white has a blue sweater and a yellow skirt for her get up.

Well, this Snow White costume seems do able. Just make sure the clothing is the right color.

53. Mulan doesn’t need a man to save China. She can save it herself.

Well, at least the armor is right. However, real armor in historical China was made of leather though.

54. As you may know, Merida learned archery from her mom.

However, their relationship becomes strained when Merida is a teenager. And she ends up turning her mom into a bear.

55. Though a redhead, Ariel doesn’t look bad in pink.

However, she has no idea that she’s using an eating utensil to comb her hair. Now that’s really unsanitary.

56. This Aurora costume almost seems once upon a dream.

Okay, Aurora doesn’t really do much in her movie. But this girl really looks cute in this costume.

57. Queen Elsa of Arendale always feels at home in the snow.

After all, most of her powers relate to winter weather, particularly ice. However, causing eternal winter didn’t have her kingdom fare well.

58. To keep warm, Pocahontas always wears moccasins.

In the movie, she tends to go barefoot even in a temperate forest. However, unlike what Disney shows you, the real Pocahontas grew up around swamp land.

59. As a warrior princess of the sea, Ariel is armed with a golden trident.

That she probably got from her dad. Hope she could handle its magical powers.

60. I’m sure Princess Aurora will wake up sooner or later.

I mean she can’t be like that forever. After all Philip has to kiss her. Or Maleficent.

61. As a human on land, Ariel makes a dress of sail and rope.

Well, it doesn’t necessarily look like this in the movie. But close enough.

62. When winter’s in the air, Elsa’s hair can be as white as snow.

However, the girl needs serious therapy. Because “Let It Go” isn’t an empowerment song, It’s a “fuck em’ all” song.

63. For Princess Anna, she can’t contain herself during the coronation.

Because it seems that Anna doesn’t have much of a life outside the palace. And doesn’t know much about men as you might learn from her relationship with Hans.

64. Looks like Mulan is all dressed up for the matchmaker.

However, in the movie, she doesn’t feel like showing off her clothes. But this woman might’ve made this Mulan outfit herself.

65. Now that Snow White’s prince has come, wonder what she’s going to do about the Seven Dwarfs.

I know it’s probably a stock costume photo. But those dwarf kids are cute. Like their outfits.

66. Apparently, Aladdin and Jasmine decided to go more formal.

I guess this is what Aladdin and Jasmine wore at the end. And Al always has to have a bare chest. But at least they match.

67. At her place, Mulan likes to saddle up with her horse.

And the horse doesn’t seem like a smartass. If you ever see Disney movies, the horses all seem to have the same kind of personality for some reason.

68. Here we have Princess Aurora with her parents.

Sure she may not do much in Sleeping Beauty. But at least she’s one of the few Disney princesses who has both parents still alive.

69. When Merida has her bow at the ready, nothing gets past her.

And she does it in her finery and with grace. Still, don’t piss her off. So cute.

70. As a warrior princess, Megara will not back down.

After all, her get up is similar to Xenia. And she’s carrying a spear. Also, her extended family has a lot of drama that’s depicted in 3 plays by Sophocles.

71. This baby Ariel is a little mermaid under the sea.

She even has Ariel’s red hair in yarn and in a braid. So adorable.

72. Seems like Princess Jasmine is covered in leather and veils.

This might be a steampunk Jasmine. She has leather on her arms and a lot of bling.

73. Hope Mulan shines with her parasol.

I guess Mulan’s matchmaker costume is quite popular. But I don’t think Mulan was ever comfortable being in that outfit or her situation there.

74. Looks like Belle and Snow White have gone all Rococo.

Well, as Cogsworth said, “If it ain’t Baroque, don’t fix it.” Still, those outfits must be very uncomfortable.

75. Rapunzel sure knows how to put flowers in her hair.

And yes, it looks pretty. Nevertheless, I wonder how Rapunzel keeps her hair so clean, neat, and shiny. Magic?

76. As a princess, Snow White must always keep with fashion.

I’ve wanted to put this one in my Disney costume post. But I ran out of room. So it goes here.

77. To escape from her daddy’s control, Jasmine leaves home dressed as a peasant.

But as with any rich girl, she has no idea what to do once she’s in the streets. That’s where she meets Aladdin.

78. Sometimes being a Disney Princess isn’t all about being prim and proper.

I think these girls must be acting goofy. Still, I kind of feel for Alice being in Aurora’s grip.

79. Sometimes Belle would like to sit and read.

And here she is in a green dress. I’m sure she got it from Wardrobe. Looks nice on her.

80. Looks like Alice is going to out grow that house.

Sure Alice isn’t an official Disney Princess. But this is a really great costume I had to put on there.

81. To own a restaurant, Tiana works as a waitress to save her money.

Here she is with her friend Charlotte. Charlotte may mean well but she’s not the smartest girl in the patch.

82. With some Disney Princesses, there always has to be a perfect prince.

And I guess some of these here have more historically accurate costumes. Not sure about two of the hats.

83. As a mermaid, Ariel occasionally rises from the sea.

I’m not sure if Ariel has surfaced that way. But I think this is a fine costume.

84. For Esmeralda, there’s no better guy for her than Captain Phoebus.

Maybe in the Disney movie. However, in the original Hugo story, Phoebus is not a nice guy and only wants Esmeralda for one thing.

85. In Frozen, Prince Hans pays his respects to Queen Elsa on her coronation.

If by “respects,” you mean getting engaged to her sister in hopes of seizing her throne. Yeah, Prince Hans isn’t a nice guy. And I’m sure Queen Elsa would turn him into a human popsicle if she could.

86. For Anna, Kristoff can be counted for anything.

Well, these are baby costumes. But these little ones look so adorable they just melt your heart.

87. Uh, I’m not sure if Belle should venture out in the woods alone.

This is especially during the night and in the snow. Because she and Philippe nearly fell in a frozen lake surrounded by wolves.

88. As the oldest, Merida has to look after her younger brothers.

Well, her brothers are kind of a handful. Have to note that they also turn into bear cubs.

89. As sisters, Elsa and Anna always stick it together.

However, I don’t think they could build a snowman in that kind of weather. Well, unless Elsa uses her powers.

90. None of these Disney Princesses need a man to get them out of trouble.

Because these are warrior Disney Princesses. And they have the guts to save themselves.

91. Seems like Cinderella is happy to see her Fairy Godmother.

Look, I know the Fairy Godmother should’ve been there for Cinderella sooner. But this is a very cute photo op.

92. Seems like there are 2 Jasmines in this picture.

Mostly because Jasmine is the only female character in Aladdin. Yet, this mother and daughter moment is too much.

93. Apparently, Cinderella and Belle have to show who’s better.

Yes, Cindy, rub it in Belle’s face. Nevertheless, these girls are so adorable in their dress.

94. Looks like Anna and Kristoff have just visited his troll family.

Yes, Kristoff was raised by trolls. I know it’s weird but don’t ask me. I didn’t write Frozen.

95. Looks like Elsa and Anna are on a trip down Fury Road.

This is a Mad Max Elsa and Anna. Nevertheless, between Frozen and Mad Max, I think Frozen was way better since it had way more of a plot.

96. For Mulan, there’s no better man for her than Captain Li Shang.

If you dismiss that he thought she was a guy and left her to die after finding out she wasn’t. Other than that, he’s a swell man.

97. Megara always prefers a man with god like strength who’d save her from hell and back.

However, in the original myth, Hercules and Megara don’t live happily ever after. In fact, quite the opposite.

98. For a golden ball gown, Belle wears a golden cape.

Well, in winter, anyway. And not in the movie since she goes outside like it’s nothing.

99. This Snow White comes super powered.

Best known powers are singing to woodland creatures so they can clean houses. And being the fairest in the land.

100. These princesses seem as if they come from a work of art.

These are Disney Princesses in the Art Noveau style of the late 1800s. Yet, you might still find them rather gorgeous beyond compare.

Be Our Guest for These Disney Treats

Posted by historymaniacmegan on June 1, 2016

960

So I give you Disney costumes, merchandise, and crafts. Now it’s on to the treats. Since even Disney characters have to eat, there’s a lot of stuff revolving around food. In fact, there’s a Disney Pixar movie called Ratatouille that revolves around a rat who aspires to be a chef in Paris. You also have the famous spaghetti scene pictured above from Lady and the Tramp where our two lead dogs share a romantic dinner to “Bella Notte.” Then there’s the “Be Our Guest” number from Beauty and the Beast where Belle is entertained by a production of singing and dancing inanimate objects. Yes, you will find tons of food moments like this in plenty of Disney movies throughout the years. Hell, there are even movies when the characters are seen as food like in Bambi (since I know a thing or two about deer hunting season even though Bambi’s mother was poached). Or in The Little Mermaid when there’s a scene of a chef making a mess in the kitchen when trying to kill Sebastian (who eventually gets served to Eric’s butler). Yes, it’s bound to give some children or parents nightmares. Outside of the Disney movies, you’ll find plenty of Disney theme park cuisine at the parks. There are also plenty of treats on Pinterest where I’ve found plenty which people make for Disney themed parties. Now for your reading pleasure, I give you a treasure trove of Disney goodies to fawn over.

Since she’s the first Disney Princess, let’s start with a Snow White Bento lunch.

And it seems this is the first time I’ve seen Snow White on cheese. But she still looks adorable.

2. You don’t have to go to the Hundred Acre Wood to get a hold of this delicious Pooh snack.

Well, I’m sure even a honey loving bear would find these cheese and cracker treats tasty. So adorable.

3. For your Alice in Wonderland party, make sure you have cookies like these.

However, since we don’t live in Wonderland, you don’t have to worry about them making you larger or smaller. Well, maybe gaining a few pounds but that’s about it.

4. Monsters Inc. fans might want to take a bite out of these Mike Wazowski cake pops.

As far as mythological creatures are concerned, Mike Wazowski is one of the most lovable cyclops monsters I’ve ever seen. However, Monsters Inc. is really about his friend Sully.

5. Fans of Cars might enjoy these traffic cone cakes.

Just have some ice cream cones, graham crackers, and cake filling. Don’t seem too hard to make at all.

6. If you like Up, then you’ll like this mass of cupcakes.

The bottom cupcake is the of the Up house. The rest our balloons. So creative but probably professionally done.

7. Fans of the Sorcerer’s Apprentice sequence of Fantasia might enjoy a cake like this.

Let’s just say, Mickey shouldn’t have used his magic to avoid doing chores. That just caused a lot of trouble.

8. Cars fans might want to take a bite out of this Mater sandwich.

I know Cars isn’t one of Pixar’s best. Nor is Mater one of its best characters. But having a sandwich shows that the film had ample popularity.

9. Now that’s one big loaf of Mickey bread.

Guess this is made from a Disney park chef. And he seems to be proud of it, too.

10. There’s nothing more sweeter than a gingerbread Up house.

I know it’s not for eating like most gingerbread creations. But it sure is amazing to look at if you agree with me.

11. A Sleeping Beauty cake like this will make any birthday girl feel like a fairy princess.

Not sure if you can eat the book. But it sure makes this cake stand out to some extent.

12. There’s no magical cake from Disney than one of Cinderella’s castle.

This is especially when you have Cinderella and her prince in front of it. Of course, no on really cares for her prince much.

13. A Maleficent candy apple is a fitting treat for any Mistress of All Evil.

Doesn’t hurt if it’s green like Maleficent’s skin. Like the horns, too.

14. This Belle bento lunch shall be more than enough to tame a hungry beast.

And this seems to be a good likeness of her. Wonder what the hair is made of.

15. There’s nothing fishy about this Finding Nemo bento lunch.

Not sure if it contains any fish. But we all should agree that this rice Nemo is so adorable.

16. Wake up in the morning to some Mr. Potato Head pancakes.

Said to be a great treat for those with angry eyes. Not sure if there’s a Mrs. Potato Head equivalent though.

17. Any little girl is sure to delight in these Disney Princess gingerbread cookies.

Only 8 of these are featured. Some with the dress variety. But these are cute and doable with the right icing and food coloring.

18. This Disney Princess cake seems to have the whole castle bunch.

I’m sure this was made for a 4 year old before Frozen. Otherwise, you’d be bound to see Elsa and Anna on it.

19. No Toy Story party could ever be complete without cupcakes depicting the little green men.

Even better if you serve these via the claw like in the Pizza Planet scene of the first movie. Still, seem quite easy to make and very expressive.

20. Remember that Pixar short with the birds on wire? Well, there’s a cake for that.

Like the movies, Pixar shorts have their fans. I forget what this one is called. But the cake design is spot on.

21. These Monsters Inc. donuts will sure give you a scare.

Sure they're not scary. But you have to admire how this person could get their faces just right.

Sure they’re not scary except in nutritional content. But you have to admire how this person could get their faces just right.

22. This Pinocchio bento lunch will help you munch upon a star.

Includes a Jiminy Cricket apple and a Pinocchio sandwich. The cheese on the crackers are depicted as stars since “When You Wish Upon a Star” is from that movie.

23. This cake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs will make you say “Heigh-Ho.”

I’m sure this guy is proud of the cake he made. Even has the Wicked Queen in her old hag disguise.

24. Make this Ariel bento lunch part of your world.

Ariel may not be one of my favorite Disney Princesses for obvious reasons. But they really got this lunch in her likeness.

25. These Mickey Mouse pretzel bites are a real Disney treat.

Like any pretzel bites, these are quite easy to make. Except you have to use different sized M&M’s.

26. No magical party on an Arabian night is complete without an Aladdin cake of the sultan’s palace.

Definitely professionally made due to the attention of detail. But you have to admire the design.

27. Nothing makes a better Toy Story lunch than a little green man on toast.

He’s mostly made from guacamole. But he’s so adorable you can just eat him up.

28. Fans of Roz from Monsters Inc. will surely enjoy this ice cream sundae.

She’s that slug monster with the raspy voice who administrates the floor Mike and Sulley work on. And this is almost captures her perfectly.

29. This WALL-E cake is impossible not to love.

Because WALL-E is such a cute, expressive, and sweet robot that brings you to tears. This cake is so adorable.

30. These enchanted stained glass rose cookies are perfect for any Beauty and the Beast occasion.

As you’ve seen the movie, the intro is told with stained glass windows and there’s an enchanted rose involved. I’m sure these were professionally made as well.

31. You can’t go wrong with stuffed Mickey Mouse peppers for satisfying your Disney appetite.

I may not be a fan of Mickey. But I’m sure if you know how to make stuffed peppers, you’ll know how to make these.

32. No Up house cake? A Spirit of Adventure blimp is as good as any.

The Spirit of Adventure blimp was the ride Carl’s hero Charles F. Muntz. He’s the movie’s bad guy, by the way.

33. No Pooh party is ever complete without some “hunny” pots.

I bet these are made in a similar way to the cupcake cauldrons. Yet, these are quite clever and adorable.

34. No Disney party could ever be complete without some Mickey Mouse pizza.

They’re made the same way as regular small pizzas. But with Mickey Mouse ears of course.

35. You’ve heard of sushi. How about Poohshi?

Yes, that’s Winnie the Pooh sushi. Not sure if has honey. But it’s so cute that you just want to eat it up.

36. A headstrong princess can always do with a Merida lunch from Brave.

This is in the bento style with Merida in a seaweed dress, a rice face, and noodle hair. Comes with a side of tomato soup.

37. You can’t have a Disney party without serving up some Mickey Mouse pizza.

I think this might’ve come from some pizzeria that makes them. Maybe at the Disney parks. But this looks doable.

38. There’s no such bother with this Winnie the Pooh lunch.

Yes, it’s a bento Winnie the Pooh lunch. And it has Pooh made of cheese. But it’s adorable to say the least.

39. You can’t go wrong with these Mickey Mouse buns.

Comes with cheese to dip in according to this picture. However, these seem rather easy to do and look tasty.

40. Try to munch on this Cinderella lunch before midnight.

I know Cindrella is in a pink one instead of blue or silver. But there’s not a lot of blue or silver food around. Plus, her hair looks cheesy.

41. Melted Olaf always makes a great Frozen treat.

Okay, this might be kind of crazy for the little ones around. But I think it’s kind of clever, especially around summer.

42. This Lumiere lunch will brighten your day.

And I assure you that it’s quite healthy, too. As Lumiere is made from cheese and banana.

43. Those who love Disney will find this macaron set hard to resist.

Well, they consist of plenty of Disney characters from movies and cartoons. You see some from Winnie the Pooh and Monsters Inc.

44. No Disney Princess party is eve without cupcakes like these.

These may be professionally made. But will go nicely with the castle cake I showed earlier.

45. No Frozen party should ever exclude these marshmallow Olaf bites.

And they really seem to resemble Olaf, too. Let’s hope he’s not on a beach towel at the moment.

46. Wonder how this Beauty and the Beast cake manages to strike a balance.

I’m sure this cake was professionally made and not cheaply. Still, makes me scratch my head just looking at it.

47. If you liked Toy Story 3, then you might take to a cake like this.

Of course, it might make some parents cry, especially if they have kids all grown up and have been to college. Still, this is kind of neat to see.

48. For a monster party, try some of this Mike Wazowski guacamole dip.

We call it because it’s green and has one eye. Might be good with crackers.

49. This Belle bento is a lunch befitting any princess.

Somehow Belle seems to be quite cheesy. Then again, she seems mostly made from cheese in this one.

50. You can’t have a Pooh party without these “hunny” pot cake pops.

You see these “hunny” pots a lot in Winnie the Pooh. Because the bear really loves honey.

51. But I didn’t think I’d see everything when I see a cake of an elephant trying to fly.

This is from Dumbo. It’s a movie about a cute baby circus elephant who eventually learns how to fly. And is separated from his mother.

52. No Frozen party is complete without a marshmallow Olaf in blue jello.

Here he is lying in jello in a fantasy of lying in water. Doesn’t seem to know that by summer, he’ll be melted and evaporated by that point. Because he’s made of snow.

53. Let it go in the morning with an Elsa pancake breakfast.

Sure she may be an icy snow queen. But this pancake breakfast doesn’t have to.

54. No Aladdin themed party is complete without a cake like this.

Mostly consists of a Genie lamp and cushions. But I think it’s very well made and matches with the movie perfectly.

55. This Buzz Lightyear lunch will take you to infinity and beyond.

And this benton really seems to capture Buzz's face that it's almost creepy. Like how they used carrot stars.

And this bento really seems to capture Buzz’s face that it’s almost creepy. Like how they used carrot stars.

56. If you loved Ratatouille, this is the cake for you.

Normally, such a sight might be a chef’s nightmare. But since it’s on a cake honoring a Pixar film, it’s adorable.

57. Any Disney party will always have to include cookies like these.

These are cookies depicting well-known Disney characters. Some from movies you’ve seen. Some you haven’t.

58. This Bambi lunch is fitting for any forest creature.

However, despite it’s reputation, Bambi isn’t a cute little deer story, especially since his mother gets shot. And it wasn’t based on a children’s story either.

59. This Mickey ice cream bar cake will never give you a frosty reception.

This was made for a boy called Vinny who was turning 49. You see, Disney kids could be of any age.

This was made for a boy called Vinny who was turning 40. You see, Disney kids could be of any age.

60. This Sheriff Woody bento lunch will help you reach for the sky.

Like how they made it really look like Woody here. And put him over Buzz Lightyear table cloth.

61. Nothing can bring you the magic of Disney at your party than a cake like this.

This castle cake features many of your favorite and important Disney characters. Includes Mickey and friends, princesses, and Pixar.

62. If this is the night for your party, then this Lady and the Tramp cake will make it bella notte.

Yes, it depicts that romantic spaghetti scene I put in as an introductory picture. And it’s so cute.

63. If you are more crazy about cats, then perhaps this Aristocats cake might suit your fancy.

This depicts a movie in which an alley cat helps a cat and her kittens return home. Also has a jazzy musical number, too.

64. For healthy desserts, this Minnie Mouse fruit pizza will do.

Minnie is Mickey’s female counterpart and girlfriend who’s just as annoying. But this fruit pizza seems doable and nutritious.

65. You have to have no heart not to love this Bambi cake.

Yes, this a cake that captures a heartwarming moment. Too bad the hunters got to his mom during the winter. However, it’s clear that she was poached.

66. A brave princess has to have a Brave cake like this one.

It’s of Merida shooting arrows in the forest. Also has trees that are made from icing and pretzel sticks.

67. You can’t have a super party without these Incredibles cupcakes.

Well, mainly these are Mr. Incredible cupcakes. But everyone in his family has the same kind of uniform so I’m going with the plural.

68. This Piglet bento lunch will have you tickled pink.

It’s also kind of interesting that Piglet’s original voice actor was in 12 Angry Men. He was Juror #2.

69. Hope this Mulan lunch makes a man out of you.

Well, I was just kidding on that one. But this Mulan lunch is befitting for any female badass.

70. These Mickey and Friends pretzel snacks should be great for any party platter.

And they should be no trouble to make. However, Mickey Mouse and his buddies are annoying as hell in the cartoons.

71. Didn’t know a house cake can be held up by so many jellybeans.

Actually it’s not. But this is a great cake of the house from Up. Like how it looks raised.

72. Remember the starfish from Finding Nemo? Well, say hello to these cookies.

Well, her name is Peach. And she functions as a lookout for the aquarium fish at the dentist’s office. Still, these cookies are neat.

73. This WALL-E and EVE bento lunch will melt their heart.

Who knew that Pixar could make a robot love story that would make you cry? This is so adorable, by the way.

74. No one with a lion’s appetite could ever resist some Simba hummus dip.

Well, at your Lion King party anyway. Still, like how they used nachos and peppers for some of the features.

75. A Rapunzel Tower cake is always great for a Tangled affair.

I think it’s for a wedding. But I like the flowers on it. Very pretty.

76. This Pocahontas bento lunch is said to paint all the colors with the wind.

Sure Pocahontas maybe one of the stronger Disney Princesses, but as a history major she’s not one of my favorites. Mostly because her historical counterpart didn’t have a romance with John Smith because she was 10 or 11 at the time.

77. If you don’t have the dough, you can always do a Mickey Mouse pizza with pepperoni.

Make sure you use a different size for the head and ears. Still, looks pretty easy.

78. Candy poisoned apples are always befitting for an evil queen.

Well, these aren’t actually poison. But I have to like the icing skull decorations on them.

79. You might be able to fly with this Tinkerbell fruit salad.

Truth be told, I didn’t put any Peter Pan stuff on my Disney posts because I’m not a fan of the film. But I think this is well done.

80. Toy Story fans will surely delight in a cake of Andy’s room.

Really like this cake. And it really seems to capture the kid’s room. So cool.

81. A dream is a wish your heart makes with this Cinderella glass slipper cake.

I wonder why the glass slippers seem to remain after everything changed at midnight. However, it’s easier to see that you can’t fit a foot into glass like into leather.

82. Anyone who simply doesn’t like this Mary Poppins cake is simply quite atrocious.

Yes, this is a Mary Poppins cake from the movie. Like how it has her umbrella and Burt’s porkpie on top.

83. You can’t deny that this bento will make a fine lunch in the Hundred Acre Wood.

Consists of Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and Eeyore. And yes, they’re all so cute you’d want to eat them up.

84. This Mulan cake is fitting for any kick ass heroine.

This is a cake of Mulan in a Chinese garden at home. Considering her circumstances, she’s not from peasant stock to say the least.

85. Guess the feelings on this cake are all mixed up.

This is an Inside Out cake. And it seems that Fear and Anger have to share a tier.

86. What’s not to love about this Eeyore cake?

Sure he’s depressed all the time. But there’s a reason why he’s so popular, especially when there’s a butterfly on his nose.

87. Pooh is always in his element when he’s in honey.

Yes, Pooh is certainly loving this. Cake may be professionally made but it’s adorable.

88. It’s no lie that you can’t do without Pinocchio cookies for a Disney dessert platter.

Sure they may only show his head. But I’m sure some people can’t help but love them.

89. This Princess Aurora bento is a lunch that seems once upon a dream.

I don’t know about you but Aurora seems to be among the least active Disney Princesses. Then again, she’s supposed to be a sleeping beauty, but still.

90. These Snow White posioned apple cookies are certainly to die for.

Oh, wait did I say to die for? Maybe knocking you out until someone kisses you. Hope that doesn’t happen to me.

91. For an easy Little Mermaid cake, try one of Flounder.

You know, one of Ariel’s fish friends. This one has blue cookie fins to spare.

92. If you like Pixar movies but can’t decide, this cake is for you.

I guess this is for a boy since it has Cars, Toy Story, the Incredibles, Monsters Inc., and Finding Nemo. Not on there are Brave, Ratatouille, WALL-E, A Bug’s Life, and Up.

93. This Olaf cake is great for any Frozen occasion.

And it doesn’t seem to take much trouble to make either. And unlike Olaf in the movie, can withstand the heat.

94. Not Pooh party can be complete without some Piglet cookies.

These are icing covered Oreos with jelly bean noses and marshmallow ears. So cute.

95. This Jafar bento lunch will leave you hypnotized.

Like when Jafar is with ths Sultan. Okay, maybe not that far.But this is kind of cool.

Like when Jafar is with the Sultan. Okay, maybe not that far.But this is kind of cool.

96. It’s about time Disney villains had a cake of their own.

Kind of wish Maleficent is on there because she’s a well known bad girl of Disney. But this is sufficient.

97. These Tangled cupcake treats certainly let their hair down.

As you can see by the cones, if you please. Like the purple icing tops, too.

98. There’s simply nothing sweeter than some Pooh buns.

Hopefully they have honey in them for Pooh’s taste. So adorable.

99. This is a kind of cake that can melt a Frozen heart.

Since it has Anna and Elsa on them. After all, Frozen is the kind of story depicting sisterly love.

100. Finally, this Jasmine bento lunch will put you in a whole new world.

Well, her outfit wasn’t that color in the movie. But this is a fairly good rendition.

Capture the Magic of Disney with These Wonderful Craft Projects

Posted by historymaniacmegan on May 31, 2016

Pinocchio-facts

While some Disney fans buy merchandise to own a piece of the Disney magic, there are some who make their own. In Disney, you find a lot of people doing crafts. The Good Fairies from Sleeping Beauty make a dress for Aurora’s 16th birthday even though Flora and Merrywether can’t agree on the color. You have Gepetto who makes Pinocchio out of wood before the Blue Fairy gives him life and a chance to become a real boy. Then there’s Cinderella and the mice who touch up a dress that her stepsisters later tear apart right before it’s time for a ball. I may not think that Cinderella is one of the best Disney princesses since she had almost everything handed to her. However, you have to admit that she at least did something to achieve what she wanted, even if it was to go to a party. Since Disney is very popular as a brand all over the world, I didn’t have much trouble finding craft projects. Yet, whether they’re licensed by Disney is anyone’s guess. Nevertheless, you’ll find all kinds of Disney craft projects on Pinterest whether they be for decoration, parties, or what else. So for your reading pleasure, here are some magical craft projects from Disney. Just not the kind of magic you see in Disney movies.

No poor unfortunate soul shall go without this clay Ursula seashell pendant.

This is where Ursula stored Ariel’s voice and used it to get Eric to dump her while disguised as Vanessa. It later broke.

2. This wreath will let guests know that monsters are always welcome in your home.

This is from Monsters Inc. a movie where monsters scare kids from their closet doors at night. Because it’s their job.

3. This Cinderella wreath will be perfect for any ball.

Well, that’s cute. Of course, Cinderella isn’t one of my favorite Disney movies. But this is well done.

4. Let it all go with this crocheted Elsa cap.

Yes, I know it’s from Frozen. But it’s adorable. And I’m sure young girls would like it. Also, Elsa’s braid could be used as a scarf.

5. If you liked Up, then you’ll enjoy hanging this wreath on your door.

This one is of Carl’s house with balloons stringed to it. However, the balloons aren’t blown here. But it’s cute.

6. Those who’ve had their pennies pressed at the Disney parks might want to use them for this bracelet.

There's a machine at the Disney parks that all you to have your pennies pressed to make these. I haven't used it when I was at Disney World though.

There’s a machine at the Disney parks that all you to have your pennies pressed to make what’s on this bracelet. I haven’t used it when I was at Disney World though.

7. This Eeyore wreath bids you welcome.

Eeyore is a fairly popular character in Winnie the Pooh. Sure he’s depressed but he can occasionally be funny and adorable.

8. This crocheted Winnie the Pooh backpack looks as sweet as honey.

After all, who can’t resist this? It’s so adorable for all ages. And in Pooh’s colors, too.

9. How about Cinderella’s castle on a panel?

Cindrella’s castle is in Magic Kingdom and is used for the Disney logo. You see it a lot in silhouette.

10. This felt Up hanging took two samplers.

Well, I don’t think the house was in that color. But it’s certainly in the spirit of it.

11. Keep your money safe in this Mike Wazowski change purse.

Wonder if there’s a Sully purse to go along with this. Then again, like the horns.

12. The Wilderness Explorer in your life will sure enjoy these badge pins.

Yes, these are the badges Russell was wearing from Up on his sash. Still, love these.

13. This lamp and magic carpet display will make a great Aladdin centerpiece.

For some reason, there don’t seem to be a lot of Aladdin craft projects on Pinterest. Not sure why.

14. This Mickey Mouse birdhouse will bring your birds plenty of cheer in the outdoors.

I’m not a fan of Mickey at all. But knowing this is a Disney craft post, I understand that I have to have some things pertaining to him whether I like it or not.

15. If you like the Little Mermaid, remember that old bottles make great lights.

Well, if you put lights in them and aren’t under the sea. Because you know what they say about water and electricity.

16. If you like the Three Cabelleros, you might enjoy a wreath like this.

“We’re three caballeros,/Three gay caballeros,/We sing like we are birds of a feather….” Man, wonder who could remember this song.

17. Be your own mistress of all evil with this Maleficent wreath at your door.

Sure Maleficent might be incredibly evil. But I have to admit, she certainly makes evil look cool at any rate.

18. Any little girl who loves Disney just has to have their own little princess bag.

Each one has its own Disney Princess tutu. Those familiar with Disney can tell which princess is depicted in which.

19. Any Frozen fan should always have two wreaths at the door of Elsa and Anna.

Notice how they almost match each other in style. Because after all, they’re sisters.

20. These pictures illustrate Ariel’s terms for manmade objects.

The one on the left is a corkscrew used for opening wine bottles. The one in the middle is a fork that’s an eating utensil. And the one on the right is a pipe for smoking tobacco. Too bad Ariel didn’t know what they were called and what their functions were.

21. Looks like the cards are painting the roses red on this wreath.

It derives from a scene from Alice in Wonderland with the card soldiers painting the roses red. When the Queen of Hearts notices, well, it’s off with their heads.

22. Those who wear this knitted hat are subject to the power of the Claw.

This is from those little green aliens from the Toy Story series. They’re weird little things but adorable and funny.

23. If you liked Finding Nemo, then you should know what the words on this bag mean.

It’s the address of the dentist’s office where Nemo’s at. And yes, it’s in Australia.

24. This mobile will give you a 3D view of Ariel’s world under the sea.

It’s a good rendition of the Little Mermaid to hang from the ceiling. I can see Ariel, Flounder, and Sebastian on there, too.

25. Sorry about this mug having a little Chip in it.

Didn’t know I was talking about Chip from Beauty and the Beast. Well, after you wash him, he goes back to the cupboard with his brothers and sisters.

26. I’m sure Pooh would find this “hunny” pot hard to resist.

Well, it’s actually a cookie jar. But since it’s inspired by Winnie the Pooh, I’m sure that silly old bear would approve of the design.

27. If you loved Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, you’ll adore this peg doll set.

I’m you can tell which dwarf is which. For some reason Grumpy doesn’t seem to wear red which he did in the movie.

28. Raise a glass to your favorite royal heroines with these Disney Princess wine glasses.

This may only include 7. But each one is well painted that you might not want to drink from any of them.

29. This Enchanted Rose is sure to light up your life.

Unlike in Beauty and the Beast, it doesn’t lose petals or isn’t enchanted. Just lights up from electricity which is good enough for me.

30. As far as talking clocks go, you can’t do better than Cogsworth.

When it comes to repairs, his motto is, “If it ain’t Baroque, don’t fix it.” Still, it’s not an exact likeness. But I’ll put it on there.

31. These Seven Dwarfs amigurumi would make you want to cook and clean for them.

Not sure if they bear an exact likeness to any of the ones in the movie. But these are certainly adorable.

32. Fans of Dumbo might want to have this wreath at their door.

Sure it’s a very cheery decoration with flowers and such. But Dumbo isn’t known to be a cheery movie, at least until the baby elephant learns to fly.

33. Here is a table and chairs set made for any mad tea party.

You see that the chairs represent a major character. And each is well designed. Not sure if I’d want to see it outdoors though.

34. Any girl is bound to be enchanted by this Disney Princess charm bracelet.

Each figure is made from polymer clay. However, I won’t recommend this to kids under 3 years old for obvious reasons.

35. Fans of The Lion King might enjoy a pendant depicting Rafiki’s sketch of Simba.

Of course, this is what Simba’s portrait looks at night when he was a cub. It later gets a mane when he’s an adult.

36. Preserve the magic of the Magic Kingdom with this quilt of Cinderella’s castle.

Seems whoever made this did a very good job with the castle and fireworks. Of course, Mickey has to be included to know that it’s Disney we’re talking about.

37. These signs show the rides of Walt Disney World in Orlando.

I’ve been on some of these rides when I was at Disney in high school. But you have to love this though.

38. If you want to build a snowman, this Olaf wreath is perfect for your home.

Yes, he may be annoying and wants to see summer. But you have to like this wreath of him made of tulle.

39. If you’re into Mickey Mouse cartoons, this flower pot arrangement will do you wonders outside.

Again, I’m not a fan of Mickey Mouse cartoons. But I do think this is an interesting flower pot arrangement.

40. May you always have a friend in these Toy Story flower pots.

Includes Woody, Buzz, and Jessie. Hope Woody’s doesn’t have a snake in it.

41. Rest your head on one of these Disney Princess pillows.

Only includes 9 of them. But each is made in the same style with hair and eyes.

42. A tiara like this can be only well suited for Princess Ariel.

As you look at the forks near the large jewel. And the fact that it uses green stones.

43. I’m sure anyone can bother with this Winnie the Pooh wreath.

Yes, that’s with Pooh’s famous catch phrase. Still, this is so adorable and so fitting for Pooh.

44. Cars fans might be in awe of this lounge chair of Mater.

You know the annoying tow truck voiced by Larry the Cable Guy. Yeah, that’s him. But I have to like how the person made this lounge chair of him. Now that’s clever.

45. You can easily build a snowman with socks.

Yes, this is a sock Olaf from Frozen. And I believe he bears close resemblance to him in the movie.

46. As we know, Winnie the Pooh always likes being near his honey pots.

I like how they have a larger flower pot for Pooh and a smaller one for the honey jar. So cute.

47. Oh, what a Tangled web this wreath is.

Because this wreath is from Tangled and depicts Rapunzel. Like the blond braid in this which seems fitting.

48. No amigurumi will make you smile like these of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Yes, I had amigurumi dwarves before in this post. However, these are smaller and include Snow White.

49. Fans of Gaston will agree that his tombstone has a perfect epitaph.

I know Gaston is a Disney villain who can be quite a monster in Beauty and the Beast. But he’s just so funny and full of himself that you can’t help but like him. Also, uses antlers in all of his decorating.

50. There is no one in Toy Story that makes a better piggy bank than Ham.

Man, that really looks like him. Wonder why Disney doesn’t sell Ham piggy banks more often. They could make a profit with this.

51. In Beauty and the Beast, Babette proves herself as an efficient duster.

Well, she is a feather duster and a maid in human form. She’s also Lumiere’s girlfriend.

52. Each of the Disney Princesses on this display has their name signed on a color.

Only 10 are shown here. Anna and Elsa share since they’re sisters and in the same movie.

53. With WALL-E and EVE it’s robot love.

Yes, WALL-E and EVE may be robots. But their story is kind of cute. And so is this pillow.

54. As Lion King fans know, “Hakuna Matata” means no worries.

Don’t know why this wreath doesn’t include Timon and Pumbaa. Because “Hakuna Matata” is their song.

55. No Disney girl could ever be without this Disney Princess quilt.

Sure it only shows their outfits. But I think it’s pretty and clever.

56. Have your Disney Princess snuggle up with one of these amigurumi dolls.

Well, these are only some of the Disney princesses. But I have to admit these are really adorable.

57. Those who treasured that tale as old as time, you may love this stained glass window painting.

It’s the stained glass window of Belle and the Prince at the end of Beauty and the Beast. And yes, the rose is prominently featured.

58. These Disney Princess felt dolls are certainly hard to resist.

Yes, these are all made the same way and feature 13. But they’re so cute.

59. For Dalmatians, Cruella De Vil is among the most feared people on earth.

Because in 101 Dalmatians, he has a bunch of puppies kidnapped so she could make coats out of them. She also smokes and doesn't have a nice temper. Oh, and she drives like crazy.

Because in 101 Dalmatians, she has a bunch of puppies kidnapped so she could make coats out of them. She also smokes and doesn’t have a nice temper. Oh, and she drives like crazy.

60. As cups are concerned, these two belong together.

Here we have WALL-E and EVE mugs by the fireplace. So adorable.

61. For a model house like this, you’d want to put balloons on it to see how it flies.

Yes, this was made to look like the house from Up. No, I wouldn’t recommend you to put balloons on it because I wouldn’t want to risk damage. Love it.

62. Snuggle with a friend with a Toy Story pillow.

Includes Woody, Buzz, Jessie, Rex, and Mr. Potatohead. Still, these are cute. Love their eyes.

63. Recreate your moments in Toy Story with this peg doll set.

Well, here are some of the toy characters as you see. Like how they made Mr. Potatohead and the little green alien into different shapes.

64. These Disney Princess wine glasses are sure to sparkle.

And yet, another set of Disney Princess wine glasses. But these have glitter on them. So it’s fine.

65. Guess time’s Up on this clock.

Because this is a clock from Up. Love how they used balloons for the bottom part of the face.

66. A wreath like this will sure make your home a wonderland.

Yes, this is a wreath from Alice in Wonderland. But you have to like what’s in the center.

67. This wreath will sure make your guests feel welcome in your own Hundred Acre Wood.

This wreath includes Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and Eeyore. However, despite that he usually has a key role to play in the cartoons, Rabbit is not included because he’s a killjoy.

68. This crocheted Pooh hat will keep your warm as you think.

Well, it doesn’t show all of Pooh’s head. But it’s so adorable that you don’t even care.

69. If you love the Disney Princesses, then you’ll adore this peg doll set.

Not sure if includes all your favorite Disney heroines. But I’m sure people will enjoy them.

70. For Pooh fans, snuggle with one of these amigurumi.

I may not care for Mickey Mouse and his friends. But I do like Winnie the Pooh. And I have to admit, these are adorable.

71. In Lilo & Stitch, Ohana means family.

That movie is about an alien that falls to earth and is adopted by a Hawaiian family. Both are pretty weird.

72. With this onesie, your baby will always be watching you.

That’s coming from that old lady slug monster in Monsters Inc. Nevertheless, this is hilarious.

73. Don’t go to a winter ball without this Cinderella hat.

It’s a crocheted version of her hair. Also, if you’re subject to Cinderella laws, keep that in mind as well.

74. There’s nothing more regal for a little girl than these Disney Princess ribbon pins.

Instead of wearing ribbons, these princesses are ribbons. And I assure you girls will love them.

75. Keep your candy safe in this Cinderella dispenser.

It’s outfitted with its own tulle skirt so you’ll surely have a ball. Like the tiara.

76. Fans of Timon and Pumbaa may appreciate this wreath of Timon in a Hawaiian skit.

Yes, this blue deco mesh wreath features Timon when he and Pumbaa put on a song and dance routine to distract the hyenas. It’s in the movie, by the way.

77. If you liked Sleeping Beauty, then you’ll like this jeweled face of the book in the movie.

I have to admit, it’s almost perfect. However, while Aurora isn’t the best Disney Princess, Maleficent and the Good Fairies are awesome characters.

78. For some reason, I find this Alice in Wonderland wreath simple but fancy at the same time.

Makes you curiouser and curiouser, doesn’t it? But you have to appreciate a wreath like this.

79. No one says your wreath shouldn’t include mouse ears.

I had to put at least one Mickey Mouse wreath some where. Otherwise, I’m sure viewers would complain about it.

80. What could ever be cuter than seeing Pooh in a balloon?

I think this might be for a baby room. But it’s just so adorable you can’t resist. After all, Pooh is such an endearing bear you got to love.

81. Adorn yourself with these Lion King Simba earrings.

According to Simba’s portrait by Rafiki that is. Wonder if my sister would like them.

82. “There’s a snake in my pack.”

This is a Woody backpack from Toy Story. Has bandanna stripes and a star.

83. Fans of Up will sure want to wear this necklace.

This one is a pendant of the house from Up with balloons. Yes, it’s fine craftsmanship but very delicate.

84. Nothing makes your dreams come true like this Mickey rainbow quilt.

Sure it has Mickey Mouse ears on it. But at least it’s in a nice rainbow pattern that I can put on this post.

85. Now you can wear a pendant of the magic rose on your necklace.

Well, it’s not really magical. But it’s certainly inspired by Beauty and the Beast.

86. Bring the magic to the kitchen with these Disney Princess aprons.

Well, this set only includes 5. But I wonder why Aurora’s and Cinderella’s almost look the same.

87. No Little Mermaid party is complete without a candelabra like this.

Notice that the candle holders have cutlery on them. Mostly because Ariel doesn’t know that a candelabra is used for candles.

88. Show your love for Disney with this Mickey Mouse lamp post.

I may not like Mickey. But I think this is pretty amazing. Some of his fans are bound to want one.

89. Raise a toast to these Disney Princess champagne glasses.

Well, there are only 5 in this set. Yet, each of them have glitter. And I’m sure they’re not for drinking.

90. Snuggle up with this pillow of Simba and Mufasa.

Of course, we all know what happens to Mufasa. Yeah, I know plenty of people remember that moment in our childhoods.

91. Make a stitch in time with these Disney Princess embroidered necklace pendants.

Shows 6 examples. But each is lovely in its own way to say the least.

92. Apparently, a Mickey Mouse shelf can store a lot of things.

Weill, this is a Mickey Mouse shelf with Mickey Mouse figures. Also available with Minnie.

93. Those who liked Timon and Pumbaa might enjoy a painting like this.

Now there’s Timon and Pumbaa. I’m sure plenty of people my age will remember this moment fondly.

94. This Cinderella’s Castle shelf is a great place to store paints.

And it seems to do a fairly good job. Like how the paints are sorted by color.

95. Fans of Jasmine might adore this tulle wreath.

Contains the Genie lamp and Jasmine’s headband. Is also mostly blue, too.

96. This Beauty and the Beast wreath certainly has character.

Well, it has Belle, the Beast, and other characters. And it’s in purple, too. What more can I want of this?

97. This Little Mermaid wreath comes with its own fish tail.

I think this might be for a kid’s room. Nevertheless, it’s quite fitting.

98. No Disney bathroom is complete without a Mickey Mouse mirror.

This one has a bow tie. Wonder if Walt himself had one of these. Probably. Somewhere.

99. If you have a collection of Disney pins, you can display them anywhere.

Such as in a frame like this. Nevertheless, that’s a lot of Disney pins. Never seen so many in my life.

100. What this wreath depicts is a tale as old as time.

Yes, I know it’s another wreath. And it’s of Beauty and the Beast. But I couldn’t pass this one up.

Wish Upon a Star For These Disney Merchandise

Posted by historymaniacmegan on May 28, 2016

Hercules03

It’s no secret that Disney makes a killing off of merchandise and that was when they didn’t own Marvel or Star Wars. And as a kid, I’m sure I got my parents to contribute generously to that company so I can have some Disney crap of my own. And I’m sure there are plenty of kids who did the same at some point in their lives. Nevertheless, Disney merchandise is everywhere, especially at their theme parks. One of my biggest gripes about going to Disney with my high school marching band during my senior year wasn’t that the Disney merchandise was everywhere but that most of it was associated with Mickey Mouse and his friends whom I’ve said before don’t really care for. In fact, I didn’t include Mickey and his gang among the Disney costume set because I simply don’t like a lot of Mickey Mouse cartoons. The guy is creepy and has an annoying voice. But I understand he’s Disney’s mascot and when it comes to doing the other posts unrelated to costumes, you can’t avoid him. I mean every time I look for Disney stuff, I see Mickey all the damn time. Anyway, I don’t mind so much for merchandise since I usually feature the crazier stuff instead of your standard things. So for your reading pleasure, I give you a glimpse into the wonderful world of Disney merchandise.

Fans of Toy Story will surely adore this Slinky Dog tote bag.

Seems like Slinky Dog is stretched out of shape. Yeah, I don’t think he’s in the best mood.

2. Show your love for Disney with this Mickey Mouse pocket knife from the 1933 Chicago World Fair.

Handy for opening letters and packages. Also great for attacking rival gang members.

3. Keep everything magically fixed and sealed with some Frozen duck tape.

Yeah, I have no idea why they have this. It doesn’t seem to make much sense. I mean it’s duck tape. Everyone buys it plain.

4. Slow cook your favorite dishes in a crock pot of your favorite Pixar films.

Well, it certainly looks rather adorable. But I’d be afraid to use it for fear it might lead to the paint getting off of it.

5. Feel the love tonight with this commemorative pin from The Lion King.

Is it just me or do Simba and Nala seem to have darker circles around their eyes? Doesn’t really look great to be honest.

6. This Lion King Nature Fun book will certainly delight the kiddies for hours.

Uh, why’s Scar colored like Simba and Mufasa? Seriously, the color’s not right at all.

7. This Disney lighter will make everything seem brighter.

To be fair, this probably came out when Walt Disney was still alive. He was known to be a chain smoker. You can guess what killed him.

8. Those who love the Little Mermaid might enjoy a Dinglehopper hair brush.

Shouldn’t it be a comb? Because Ariel uses a fork as a comb even though it’s really for eating.

9. Commemorate Disney’s 101 Dalmatians with this Cruella De Vil figurine.

Cruella and the puppies seem a bit too chummy with each other in this. I mean in the movie Cruella has the puppies kidnapped so she could make coats out of them. So why should she get along with the pups?

10. Keep the fire out of your house with your very own Mickey Mouse fire extinguisher.

Yes, this exists when it doesn’t need to. I think it might be from Etsy. But it’s still strange.

11, Parents, if you’re son is swept by the popularity of Frozen, I suppose this set of undies will do just fine.

Now Frozen little girl underwear I understand. But this? Uh, I think Disney’s trying t aim for the wrong demographic.

12. For any Disney barbecue, these Mickey Burgers will surely come in handy.

Just what I want, burgers in the shape of a mouse head. Then again, they might have more meat on them. But they might not turn right grilled.

13. I’m sure Mickey will be happy to hold a roll for you.

Yes, this is a Mickey Mouse toilet paper holder. Now if only they had Mickey Mouse toilet paper.

14. Wake up in the morning with this Mickey Mouse toaster.

And yes, you get a toast of Mickey’s face on it when you put bread in it. Not something I’d want in mind.

15. On a cold day, it’s great to warm up to Frozen’s Campbell’s Soup.

Yes, kids, pour some of this soup into a bowl, microwave it, eat it, and watch your sodium levels go through the roof. Because Campbell's Mmmmm....salt.

Yes, kids, pour some of this soup into a bowl, microwave it, eat it, and watch your sodium levels let it go. Because Campbell’s Mmmmm….salt.

16. If you loved the Lion King, then you’ll like Battle Action Banzai with Zazu.

Let’s face it, Banzai could probably take down Zazu at any day of the week. Then again, it’s been a long time since I saw the movie. By the way, Zazu is voiced by Rowan Atkinson who’s better known as Mr. Bean. Yeah weird.

17. If you liked the mice on Cinderella, you might like this sewing mouse figurine.

Because there’s nothing more endearing than seeing a mouse with a needle. Okay, that’s kind of unsettling.

18. A Mickey figurine like this captures the magic of Disney.

I don’t know. But to me it seems like smaller versions of himself are pinning him down like that scene from Gulliver’s Travels. Still, this is pretty weird, even by Disney standards.

19. Keep your kids save in the car with this seat belt from Frozen.

All cars contain seat belts nowadays. So why is this necessary? Then again, maybe I should let it go.

20. Smell like a pirate in the Caribbean with dab of Pirate Water cologne.

In reality, Golden Age pirates of the Caribbean stank like they never had a bath in years. So maybe you don’t want to smell like a pirate, historically speaking of course.

21. Beauty and the Beast fans will surely enjoy sipping their drink through a Belle plastic cup.

Look, I’m a big fan of Beauty and the Beast and all. However, this thing is so disturbing that it can’t be unseen.

22. Have girls aspire to wishes and dreams with this Disney princess toilet seat.

If wishes and dreams mean staying dry, not wetting the bed, and never having to put the toilet seat down. Then again, I don’t want to imagine how Belle, Cinderella, and Aurora went to the bathroom.

23. Kids who like Tarzan are bound to enjoy this jungle Rad, Repeatin’ action figure.

Okay, Tarzan, I know you might have certain “needs.” But can’t you keep your jerking off to yourself? It’s pretty disturbing.

24. Sing-A-Ma-Jig Minnie Mouse is sure to delight kids of all ages.

Believe it or not this toy was aimed to children. But the unfortunate shape of the mouth makes it more suitable for Spencer’s more than anything.

25. How about spend some time on a Donald Duck ride?

From LOLWOT: “While this ride is likely supposed to be Donald Duck just leaning back and relaxing, when someone sits on him, it looks like he’s getting ready for something quite frisky.” Like the awkward look on that woman’s face. It’s priceless. If you think Donald’s dirty in that, you should see him in the Three Caballeros.

26. I’m sure this Winnie the Pooh toy won’t raise any objections.

Okay, I was wrong. As LOL WOT says: “It’s hard to know just what this toy is supposed to do, other than make us incredibly uncomfortable. There’s a reason there’s little information available about this toy other than this picture.”

27. Sing along with Mickey with this Mickey Mouse microphone.

From LOL WOT: “This is a toy that is just supposed to let kids have a microphone that has some of the characteristics of Mickey. The problem is the device had a rather phallic shape that encouraged kids to put it near their mouths.”

28. Nothing makes a great Disney lunch like Dip Sea Dooz fish sticks.

Uh, isn’t Ariel part fish? And she’s on the package to sell fish sticks? Do you see a conflict of interest here, people?

29. Drink to infinity and beyond with this Buzz Lightyear sippy cup.

From LOL WOT: “When it comes to this sippy cup, it’s not just the incredibly unfortunate placement of the straw, but it’s also the crossed arms and self-satisfied look on Buzz’s face that makes this such a terrible item.” Oh, my God, I guess the merchandise people at Disney didn’t think this one through in the least bit. He just seems more “woody” than “buzzed” at the moment.

30. Recreate the beginning of the Lion King when Rafiki holds up Simba with this toy.

From LOL WOT: “This small little toy was supposed to emulate the famous scene where the monkey wiseman holds Simba up to the heavens to show the new Lion King. Unfortunately the way the toy is positioned, makes it look like something else entirely is on Rafiki’s mind.” What it is, I really don’t want to know.

31. Fans of Hannah Montana might enjoy some gummy concert candy.

From LOL WOT: “While the Hannah Montana Concert Candy is billed as being gummies that are in the shape of guitars and microphones, you don’t have to look that closely to see the rather phallic shape of these treats.”

32. Any real boy might have some fondness for this pair of Pinocchio boxers.

The fact that Pinocchio has no nose on this just makes me suspect a lot of dirty things going on. So when his nose grows does it mean he’s dishonest, horny, or both?

33. If you like Donald Duck and the most badass bounty hunter of them all, look no further.

Yes, that’s Donald Duck as Boba Fett. Not sure what Fett’s fans might think about this. But at least Donald’s wearing pants this time.

34. Disney Star Wars fans might enjoy this figurine as Mickey as X-Wing fighter Luke Skywalker.

Because there’s nothing more family friendly than a mouse that kisses his sister and blows up a space station with thousands of people inside. Okay, that’s kind of disturbing.

35. If you like the Incredibles, step into these super high heeled shoes.

Well, at least they’re not stilettos. However, they don’t seem to be something a woman might wear to a formal event.

36. Commemorate Finding Nemo with this snow globe of Marlin and Dory.

Because nothing brings fond memories like being surrounded by sharks and thinking you’re gonna die. Sure these guys think that fish are friends not food, but still.

37. If you liked Pinocchio, then celebrate Christmas with this commemorative ornament.

Because nothing says Merry Christmas like lying your ass off and being locked in a cage. Yeah, Pinocchio is way more disturbing than what most people remember.

38. Even die hard Frozen fans can’t seem to let this toilet seat go.

Yes, this is the kind of toilet that helps kids to let their bowels go. I know it’s kind of sick but what do you expect?

39. If you think Mickey is the king in your life, then this jeweled Mickey king is for you.

By the way, this is said to cost only about $1500. Or as I call it, “a magical waste of money.”

40. Look sharp with these Frozen pressed on nails.

From Bustle: “Because your kindergartner doesn’t always have time to make it to the salon, okay?” Why would any kindergartner need this anyway? Pressed on nails suck.

41. Now your kid can sleep anywhere with this On the Go Frozen slumber set.

From Bustle: “Just in case your kid needs to take an immediate, stylish nap in the mall, or the grocery store, or the post office…” For a moment, I thought this was an ironing board.

42. Commemorate a Disney Halloween with this Chip and Dale pin.

Now this is kind of disturbing. Because Chip and Dale seem to act like their lounging in a Jacuzzi while they’re basically being cooked alive as chipmunk stew. Doesn’t help that Dale is adding some spice to the brew. This is sick.

43. Now you can watch your favorite Disney movies outside with a Mickey Mouse outdoor TV screen.

Really? Sorry, but I kind of prefer the experience of watching outdoor movies as something you experience on a campground on a fair weather Saturday night. This is ridiculous.

44. Turn on the waterworks with your very own Disney faucet set.

I don’t think this would look good in any home. Then again, I guess fans will buy anything.

45. Fans of Aladdin would certainly gawk at this Precious Moments Jasmine figurine with Rajah.

Uh, why does Rajah have no stripes? Seriously, he’s a tiger. They are born with stripes in their skin. Apparently, the designer didn’t understand this.

46. This Frozen bowling set is said to bring loads of family fun.

How is this necessary? Seriously, I don’t understand this. Can someone cue me in on why these exist?

47. Fans of Hercules will certainly like this Hades plush toy.

Okay, I understand that Hades is the bad guy in Hercules just to avoid Herc's being a product of divine rape on Zeus's part which explains why Hera hates him in the original myth. I get that. But even as a Disney villain, Hades is quite likable and entertaining. This plush doesn't really show this.

Okay, I understand that Hades is the bad guy in Hercules just to avoid Herc’s being illegitimate son of Zeus and a mortal named Alceme which explains why Hera makes his life hell in the original myth. I get it. But even as a Disney villain, Hades is quite likable and entertaining. This plush doesn’t really show this.

48. Don’t let your boobs go with this Elsa bra.

Yes, this is real. And you can get it at Hot Topic. I don’t know why it exists. But it does.

49. For those who wish to keep clean, this Olaf soap pump will keep your liquid soap in store.

Because there’s no better way to get soap than through being pumped from a snowman’s head. How does that even make sense?

50. This Frozen T-Shirt will show any man that he’s hot stuff.

Sounds a bit flirtatious doesn’t it? Then again, Disney is very well aware of its adult fanbase. But I’m not sure about trying to cater to young men.

51. Go through rugged terrain with this Frozen toy jeep.

Yes, this toy mainly catered to boys is now outfitted with girly colors like its Barbie predecessor. Not sure why they thought it was a good idea.

52. Of course, you can’t go wrong with a Winnie the Pooh sippy cup.

On second thought, you can. Apparently, there are very disturbing things going on in the Hundred Acre Wood that we don’t see all the time. Still, this is just mind boggling to me.

53. When it comes to Frozen sometimes this decal will help you deal with what’s inside.

Personally, I find this decal hilarious. However, it kind of gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, “Let it go/Let it go/Can’t hold it back anymore…..”

54. Stand out at Disney with this commemorative 50th anniversary Mickey Mouse ears jewel encrusted cap.

I don’t know about you but $1500 is an awful lot of money for a Disney Mickey cap. Just sayin.’

55. Train your kids to go to the bathroom with this Toy Story training potty.

I’m sure your kid will be totally comfortable trying to take a dump while the toys are watching from the lid. Then again, probably not.

56. There’s no one on Naboo more regal than Queen Minnie Amidala.

Yes, I get it with Disney issuing these figurines. But I’m not sure if I can see Minnie Mouse marrying and having kids with a future Sith Lord.

57. Of course, Frozen underwear isn’t just for little girls.

I know this is catered to kids. But I can't help wondering whether it's a thong. Probably which is kind of disturbing.

I know this isn’t catered to kids. But I can’t help wondering whether it’s a thong. Probably which is kind of disturbing.

58. This Mickey Mouse light bulb will light up your life.

Just what I want, Mickey Mouse’s head lighting up a room. What will they come up with next? And I thought a Hunger Games light bulb was crazy enough.

59. For the upcoming film Finding Dory, you might want to check out this figurine.

Because there’s nothing better than being in a coffee pot held by an octopus. And you know what octopuses do to fish Dory’s size.

60. Keep cool this summer with your very own, Mickey Mouse mini fan.

I don’t know about you, but Mickey seems to look quite sinister for some reason. Then again, I tend to think he’s kind of creepy anyway.

61. Feel the power of the Force with these Star Wars Cars figurines.

As if I didn’t think the Mickey Mouse Star Wars figurines were stupid enough. Now they have to depict the characters as cars? Seriously why?

62. Chill out on the beach this summer with your very own Olaf beach towel from Frozen.

Well, at least Olaf fantasizes about spending summer on the beach. Too bad he’s made out of ice and snow that he’ll melt when spring comes around.

63. These Disney fish nuggets will surely make a great lunch.

Again with the Little Mermaid promotions. I mean she’s part fish for God’s sake. Then again, sharks are also considered fish. But still.

64. Reel it in like a princess with your very own Disney princess fishing rod.

I’m sure there are some girls who go on fishing trips. It’s just that it doesn’t strike as something associated with Disney princess fans. But at least Ariel is not on the packaging.

65. Seems like Mickey Mouse can really wield a lightsaber as Anakin Skywalker.

I’m sure he’s soon going to use that lightsaber to murder a building full of kids once he turns to the Dark Side. After all, Anakin did so in Revenge of the Sith.

66. This Precious Moments Jasmine with Rajah will melt your heart.

Again, Rajah is a tiger. That animal Jasmine is holding doesn’t look like a tiger cub at all.

67. If you loved the movie Up, then you’ll adore this figurine of Carl and Russell.

I don’t know about you. But at the angle this was photographed, it doesn’t seem to have good connotations. I don’t know if I want to divulge why.

68. Wonder how Donald is going to get out of this.

This is him as Han Solo in carbonite. Interesting how Disney made the choice to depict Donald like this. And I’m not sure if he’s wearing pants.

69. I’m sure the magic and the Force will be with you with these Star Wars Disney figurines.

Wonder what Mickey will think when he finds out that Goofy is his father and that Minnie is his sister. Only time will tell I guess.

70. Nothing makes a trip for the beach better than wearing your very own Elsa flip flops.

From Smosh: “Nothing captures the feel of Frozen like beachwear. Yes, there are Frozen swimsuits. Yes, there are Frozen beach balls. And yes, somewhere someone is proudly introducing Frozen beach homes, made entirely of sculpted ice. The residence will melt away just as you pay the property tax.” Do you want to build a sand man? It doesn’t have to be a sand man. Okay bye.

71. Of course, there are many young women who dream to be married in an Elsa wedding gown.

From Smosh: “Despite the age of your average Frozen fan, this Elsa-inspired bridal gown is not made for children, but is instead designed for adults who probably tried to wedge their feet in glass slippers in hopes of landing royalty. The person who gets this gown is is the type of person who can’t leave behind the idea of a “fairytale wedding”, no matter how much medication their doctor prescribes them.”

72. Sing “Let It Go” all you want with this Frozen microphone and amplifier.

From Smosh: “Remember the karaoke scene in Frozen that turned into an epic rap battle? Well, clearly someone got the unofficial director’s cut, because now kids everywhere can belt out “Let It Go” as often as they want … until there’s a rise in child abandonment cases.”

73. Now your little girl can tee off with her very own Frozen golf set.

From Smosh: “When children left the theater after seeing Frozen, their first thought was probably, “I hope I can get in a quick nine at the club”. Now, thanks to this Elsa and Anna-endorsed set, kids everywhere can relive the wintry magic of the film while making important business contacts on the green! Should they snap their clubs in half after being caught in a sand trap, they can always pick up the official, and real, Frozen Bowling Set.”

74. Dreams will come true one mile at a time with a pair of athletic Cinderella glass slippers.

What the hell? Seriously, that doesn’t look like anything practical as athletic gear. In fact, its existence defies all logical explanation.

75. Of course, boys will live happily ever after playing with this Disney prince playset.

Except that many boys aren’t really that interested in these kind of toys. Also, the earlier princes don’t have much character to them either.

76. Now you can make your own Frozen treats with an Olaf snow cone maker.

Yes, Olaf is made out of snow. But it doesn’t make this thing less disturbing since it churns snow from his chest.

77. If your kid needs to breath, perhaps this Mickey Mouse gas mask will come in handy.

To be fair, this is from WWII for children in air raid drills. However, no kid really asks for a Mickey Mouse gas mask. Unless they’re a budding WWII buff.

78. Nothing makes you light up like a pack of Hannah Montana cigarettes.

Naturally, like the Harry Potter condoms, these aren’t licensed (thank God). But it doesn’t paint Miley Cyrus as a great role model during the late 2000s. Well, until the VMAs and “Wrecking Ball” anyway.

79. Any child is sure to do delight in one of these Mickey Mouse dressers.

As far as children’s furniture is concerned, these give me nightmares. Don’t know why.

80. Nothing is more fun at a mini golf course than teeing off with Donald Duck.

Then again, seeing Donald at a mini golf course like this might make you wonder whether he wants to murder you in your sleep. Not to be critical.

81. There’s nothing better than two baby dolls dressed as Mickey and Minnie Mouse.

These babies look dead inside even in Disney attire. They make Mickey and Minnie seem cute by comparison.

82. Of course, Minnie seems to be in skimpy attire as a slave to Jabba the Hutt.

Now I’ve heard Disney wanting to discontinue the Slave Leia merchandise which I think is stupid. Meanwhile, they come up with Slave Leia Minnie which is in some ways more unsettling. I wish someone would explain this.

83. Keep yourself clean and wash your blues away with these Mickey and Minnie shower heads.

These are from Japan who have a Disney theme park of their own. Not sure if I want water coming out of their noses though. Or anywhere else on their faces.

84. Store your pez candies in this set of dispensers from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Well, these may seem harmless. But the dwarf ones have acquired a dubious reputation when you try to put a pez in them. And I’ll leave it at that.

85. Grace your Christmas tree with this memorable ornament of Winnie the Pooh.

Well, memorable for all the wrong reasons. I might’ve posted it before a few years ago. But this is just so freaky. I mean what the hell is Pooh wearing? Oh, bother.

86. Smell Pixar fresh with a bottle of Toy Story 3 cologne.

Its scent is of tears from grown men and women. Lots of tears if you know what the movie’s about.

87. Help Buzz Lightyear back on his feet with Toy Story Operation.

Funny, Buzz doesn’t seem to have much wrong with him. Then again, in the first movie he had been under the delusion that he was real instead of a toy.

88. How about a pancake skillet with Mickey or Cinderella?

These are so you can have their images on pancakes. I don’t know why people would. That’s what they do.

89. Beware of the power of the dark lord of the Stitch.

Really, Stitch as Emperor Palpatine? I can’t see that. I mean Stitch really isn’t evil. Just innocent and misunderstood.

90. Snuggle up with one of these plush Disney princesses.

For Disney princess dolls and plushies, these are utterly creepy. And no, I don’t think the Disney princess franchise is about that.

91. Smell like a baddie with these bottles of Disney Villain cologne.

Because Disney villains are all delightfully vile in their own way. Not sure about the Frollo or Radcliff ones because Frollo is creepy as hell and Radcliffe, well, he's kind of lame.

Because Disney villains are all delightfully vile in their own way. Not sure about the Frollo or Radcliffe ones because Frollo is creepy as hell and Radcliffe, well, he’s kind of lame.

92. “Do or do not. There is no try, Mickey.”

Yes, Mickey has Master Yoda on his back. Yoda is training Mickey to be a jedi. Don’t really see him as one to be honest.

93. Have Mickey in your kitchen with this set of teaspoons.

They just consist of his disembodied hands. Kind of disturbing in context if you really think about it.

94. Master Yoda Stitch is wise in the ways of the Force.

Approve of it, I do not. Nonsensical it is. Conforming with character it does not.

95. I’m sure anyone is bound to remember this vintage Mickey with his beloved dog Pluto.

Pluto doesn’t look so good. Wonder what’s wrong with him. Hope Mickey doesn’t have to have him put down.

96. Mickey Mouse will do anything to safely get the golden monkey.

Now there’s a mouse that can destroy an entire temple of doom. Of course, what he he has in his hand belongs in a museum.

97. Have a drink from these oil cans from Dinoco.

Yes, kids, drink your beverage from oil cans like the characters on Cars. Then again, it was also featured in Toy Story.

98. Keep your coffee warm with this Frozen coffee mug.

Because even 5 year olds need a buzz during their morning commute (just kidding). Then again, I don’t think this is catered to kids.

99. This Mad Hatter bottle stopper is great for anything holding wine.

Uh, the Mad Hatter usually prefers tea. Then again, Alice in Wonderland is supposed to be a nonsenical kids story anyway.

Uh, the Mad Hatter usually prefers tea. Then again, Alice in Wonderland is supposed to be a nonsensical kids story anyway.

100. Now you can look great at the beach with these Disney swimsuits.

Yes, these are Disney swimsuits and they’re for adults. Whether they look stupid at the beach remains to be seen.

Dreams Will Come True in These Magical Costumes from the Wonderful World of Disney

Posted by historymaniacmegan on May 27, 2016

As far as the Walt Disney Company is concerned, I have posts on at least two of the franchises they have rights to such as Star Wars back in November and Marvel Comics back in March. However, the company has gained some notoriety for its idea of American cultural imperialism, these few Disney posts aren’t about the media conglomerate. Or else, I’d have a lot more to work with. In fact, these posts are about Disney as a brand which is more associated with Mickey Mouse cartoons, animated movie musicals, Pixar, as well as networks that feature corny sitcoms and bubblegum pop music aimed at 11-14 year old girls like Hannah Montana. As someone born in 1990, I was a child during a very good time for Disney when they released some of their greatest and more famous films such as Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, The Lion King, Toy Story and Toy Story 2, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, James and the Giant Peach, and Mulan. My adolescence and college years saw a lot of good movies from Pixar such as Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc., The Incredibles, Ratatouille, WALL-E, Toy Story 3, and Up. And there are recent movies which aren’t too shabby either like The Princess and the Frog, Brave, Frozen, and Enchanted. Of course, I also watched the old stuff, too like Pinocchio, Dumbo, The Fox and the Hound, 101 Dalmatians, The Great Mouse Detective, Bambi, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Lady and the Tramp, The Jungle Book, Mary Poppins, Peter Pan, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Fantasia, The Rescuers, Alice in Wonderland, and Song of the South (on Youtube out of curiosity). I’ve also seen a few Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh cartoons as well. Nevertheless, one of the great things about these Disney movies is that they tend to appeal to such wide audiences around the world and at all ages. Children who grew up with Disney will like it forever and pass their love for it to their kids. And there is absolutely no shame with liking Disney movies at any age since almost everyone has watched them either in theaters or on DVD. Because no matter how sappy and wholesome Disney movies might seem on the surface, a lot of these films are still as entertaining and relevant as they always have.

Aladdin_Prince_Ali1

Founded in 1923 by Walt Disney and his brother Roy as a cartoon studio, what would be later known as the Walt Disney Company started out by releasing a series of shorts called Alice’s Wonderland which featured a child actress interacting with animated characters. After that series ended in 1926, Walt did a series of shorts featuring a character named Oswald the Lucky Rabbit through Universal Studios. But two years later in 1928, he lost a contract with his distributor which took 4 of his fellow animators save Ub Iwerks to form their own cartoon studio. However, that same year he’d create Mickey Mouse and release Steamboat Willie which was the first cartoon to feature synchronized sound, a smash hit, as well as made Mickey a household name, changed animation forever, and became Walt Disney’s big break. During the early 1930s, Disney would release more cartoon shorts such as the Silly Symphonies series and more Mickey Mouse cartoons as well as experiment with Technicolor. These toons would provide Walt Disney to finance a project that was practically unheard of at the time: a full-length animated feature film in English called Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1934. However, despite what some critics would say, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs would become the highest grossing film after its debut in December 1937 to 1939. Disney would use the profits to build his Burbank, California studio as well as produce more films, cartoons, and TV shows. In the 1955, Walt Disney would open Disneyland in California. Disney World would open after Walt Disney’s death in 1966 from lung cancer due to his chain smoking catching up to him. However, the Walt Disney Company continued to live on despite suffering a slump in the 1970s and early 1980s. Then this would be the time when Disney would start to take its modern form with releasing several of the movies people in my generation grew up with, the Disney Channel, buying up networks, and its partnership with Pixar, a studio known for making a well done film at the worst. Nevertheless, while many people might dismiss Disney as a company specializing in children’s entertainment, they’ve been known to produce films that would make a grown man cry and its partnership with Pixar has increasingly shown how the movie industry hasn’t been taking animated films as serious as it should.

Cinderella-disney-31583119-701-422

However, while Disney has had an unmistakable presence in my childhood, it turns out that there are a lot of huge fans out there way more obsessed with these movies than I’ll ever be. In fact, it’s not uncommon for many people to dress up as Disney characters on Halloween, on their Disney trips, or at an occasional comic convention. And sometimes this consists of whole families as well as people of all ages. You’ll see plenty of Disney princesses, Disney villains, as well as characters from Pixar. Personally, I prefer most of the recent Disney movies I grew up with as well as the Pixar films. I’m not a huge fan of Mickey and his gang despite seeing a few cartoons. However, I do like Winnie the Pooh since those cartoons contain characters people at all ages while having G rated plots and themes. Nevertheless, for your reading pleasure, I give you a treasure trove of magically costumed characters all from the wonderful world of Disney.

Paint the colors of the wind with this Pocahontas costume.

Kind of ironic that she’s dressed as a character who’s based on a real historical figure who was supposed to be 12 at the time she “saved” John Smith. Then again, Pocahontas had been subject to age ups before the Disney movie came out.

2. Princess Merida always takes her best shot in all her finery.

The thing I like about Merida is that it focuses more on mother-daughter relationships and that she’s one of the few Disney princesses to act like a typical teenager. Well, at least not in a very destructive way (unlike Anna, Elsa, and Ariel).

3. Oh, no, looks like Ariel’s become lunch!

Yeah, I know I’m going to get comments for this. But I think this is really funny. Besides, it’s a wonder she didn’t get eaten.

4. Looks like this family has gone to Wonderland and back.

Then again, the dad seems to be dressed as the Mad Hatter from the Tim Burton movie. However, my favorite in this bunch is the kid dressed as the Ace of Spades.

5. Remember, at Agrabah, no one is safe from evil and powerful Jafar.

Interestingly enough, Jafar was based on a real guy who wasn’t that bad but ended up executed. However, that Jafar had usually been the go-to guy for inspiring evil grand viziers ever since, particularly in the Arabian Nights.

6. Looks like the office Genie has come out of his lamp today.

I know Genie wasn’t dressed up like that in Aladdin. But I have to admit, this is a really cool costume. This guy definitely deserves to win his Halloween costume contest at work.

7. I hope that little girl doesn’t take a bite out of that apple.

I may not be a big fan of Snow White since she’s kind of a bland character. However, I often envy her for being able to get a bunch of woodland creatures to clean a house she broke in with a song.

8. Unlike Ariel, this Disney Princess didn’t leave her home under the sea.

This is Princess Kida from Atlantis: the Lost Empire. She later becomes queen and ends up shacking up with a much younger man.

9. As we all know, Mulan was destined to be a Chinese housewife but ended up risking her life to save her father and China.

Well, this is Mulan in her outfit when she went to see the matchmaker. She didn’t do very well. Thankfully, she ended up with her boss who kind of had some sexuality issues.

10. Yet, here we see another picture of Mulan kicking ass.

Of course, when she dressed up as a guy, she managed to keep her gender under wraps for months. And it’s a wonder the other guys didn’t find out when she was bathing with them.

11. Here we come to the Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty.

Of course, she didn’t know her name was Aurora until her 16th birthday. Till then, she was called Briar Rose.

12. Remember at your Disney party, always invite Maleficent.

Because if you don’t, she’ll crash your party and curse your baby. Yeah, she can be an evil witch but she’s not a woman to mess with.

13. For a modern day Briar Rose, love is once upon a dream.

However, it doesn’t help that she’s dancing in a parking lot. Yeah, real smart. Not.

14. This baby Belle is surely hard to resist.

Yes, she’s so adorable in that little yellow tutu dress. So sweet.

15. Who remembers Bing Bong from Inside Out?

He’s Riley’s imaginary friend when she was a little girl. Nevertheless, his death scene kind of makes you cry.

16. Guess this woman doesn’t really go on magic carpet rides.

Because she’s the magic carpet from Aladdin. And she seemed to have made it herself according to the pattern.

17. “Me, Tarzan. You, Jane.”

That’s Tarzan and Jane Porter all right. I guess Tarzan is a rather easy costume since it only entails a loincloth and wig.

18. The Ace of Clubs is ready for a paint job at the Queen of Hearts’s rose bush.

Unfortunately, he’ll end up losing his head over it. Yeah, the Queen of Hearts is one nasty bitch.

19. Apparently, Buzz Lightyear had just been to a tea party.

It was in Sid’s sister’s room. And his arm was detached at the time. Still, this is a clever costume.

20. As we all know, Belle is kind of a bookworm.

She’s also said to have her head in the clouds and coming off as a bit odd. Oh, and rejecting Gaston for no good reason, according to the villagers’ point of view.

21. Cinderella can’t go to the ball? Don’t worry her magical Fairy Godmother will fix it for her.

Yes, with flick of her magic wand, she can turn a pumpkin into a coach, mice into horses, and dogs into coachmen. Still, this costume looks easy to make.

22. It’s well known that Flynn Rider can be quite a charmer.

He can also climb towers on his girlfriend’s long golden locks. Then again, I’m not very familiar with him because I’ve never seen Tangled.

23. Hey, I wonder what’s going on in Riley’s head.

Yes, this is a family rendition of Inside Out. Also, Bing Bong is played by the dog.

24. When it comes to activities, Merida would rather shoot arrows than comb her hair.

However, ask her to get married and she’ll throw a huge hissyfit an justifiably sow. Still, you have to like her long red locks.

25. As a gypsy woman, Esmeralda earns her keep as a street performer with her goat.

Too bad she ended up making Frollo horny during Mardi Gras. Yeah, he’s not known to take unrequited lust very well.

26. Guess Ariel didn’t think Urusla would try to steal her man when she signed the terms and conditions.

The dark haired woman is Vanessa, by the way who’s actually Ursula. Still, you have to wonder why Ariel didn’t just write notes to Eric in order to talk to him. I mean she has some degree of literacy. Then again, she might be that stupid.

27. In Frozen, there’s no couple more endearing than Anna and Kristoff.

Sure he may be rough around the edges, but Kristoff is a nice guy who mines ice and takes care of his reindeer Sven. Princess Anna shouldn’t have gotten engaged to Prince Hans who turned out to be a jerk.

28. On the floor here is Sailor Jasmine.

It’s basically Princess Jasmine in a Sailor Moon outfit. And it’s in her color, too.

29. As we know from Disney, every princess has her prince.

Or so it seems that way. Unless you’re Merida or Elsa. Still, not sure who the couple in the middle is supposed to be. Haven’t seen their costumes before.

30. Apparently, Snow White seems to be a friend of all the woodland creatures.

And it seems the bunny has a ruff around its neck. Kind of messed up. But I’ll put it on this post.

31. Here we have Ariel kindly escorted by Prince Eric.

Not sure what to think about Eric. Then again, he was under a spell. But he still kind of seems like a ditz. But so is Ariel.

32. Seems like this family comes from deep in the Hundred Acre Wood.

This family seems rather well dressed as the cast from Winnie the Pooh. Too bad they couldn’t include Rabbit. But what’s not to love?

33. In the ocean, Ursula always advertises in helping poor unfortunate souls.

Well, this Ursula has green hair and is really a sea witch. But boy, she’s so entertaining.

34. There’s no man who rules the waves under the sea than King Triton.

Too bad he pays more attention to his job than his 7 daughters. With a dad like him, could anyone be surprised that Ariel ended up like she did? Not really.

35. “I’m not a puppet. I’m a real boy.”

Pinocchio has never been among my favorite Disney movies. However, I have to admit that this is a really good costume.

36. As always, Kristoff is always accompanied with his trusty reindeer Sven.

Keep in mind that Kristoff probably has really bad BO since he was raised by trolls. But this is such a cute costume.

37. Fans of Tangled might remember Flynn Rider and Rapunzel.

Note to self: try to watch Tangled as soon as possible. Because I know it’s based on Rapunzel and not much else.

38. For this couple a rat infestation can only help their restaurant business.

This family is dressed as the 3 main characters from Ratatouille. It’s about a rat who aspires to be a Parisian chef. So cute.

39. From Atlantis: The Lost Empire, we have Milo and Kida.

Sure there’s a two millennium age difference at least, but they seem to be going strong. After all, that didn’t stop Aragorn and Arwen from getting together either.

40. The movie Frozen always teaches us that sisterly love is perhaps the strongest love of all.

Not sure if it’s like that between me and my sister. But at least neither of us have their problems. Queen Elsa should probably loosen up while Princess Anna should use her head.

41. Olaf always looks forward to summer.

Unfortunately for him, he’s a snowman so he’ll basically evaporate when it gets above a certain temperature. Lucky for him, Elsa gives him a cloud.

42. Working for supers, Edna Mode always designs outfits for heroes.

Like Jafar, Edna Mode is also based on a real person. In her case, it’s the famous Hollywood costume designer Edith Head known design outfits for a lot of classic movies.

43. Seems like this family comes all the way from Monsters Inc.

Guess we have here Mike, Sulley, Mike’s girlfriend with the Medusa hair, and Boo. Still, such a good movie, but not to the degree of Toy Story.

44. If you need a gospel choir from Ancient Greece, say hello to the Muses from Hercules.

Well, there are only 5 Muses in Hercules. But in Greek mythology, there were 9. 5 is a manageable number.

45. If you’re not into blue, perhaps a pink dress will do.

This is Princess Aurora in her pink dress. Yes, it’s beautiful but she spends more screen time in the blue one. Just saying.

46. For big families, perhaps you’ll do well going as Snow White, the Prince, and the 7 Dwarfs.

I know this is more of a stock photo. But I’m including it anyway since it has all the costumes of the 7 dwarfs.

47. I’m sure Esmeralda will be fine seeking refuge at Notre Dame.

Here she’s praying to God for the outcasts. Yet, in the movie, she’s also one herself. And it’s too bad Frollo is lusting after her which is creepy.

48. Their love story was a tale as old as time.

Yes, this is Belle and the Beast all right. Love the yellow dress. And that beast doesn’t look shabby either.

49. As we know, Pocahontas always tries to be one with nature.

However, she’s engaged to be married to a warrior because her dad said so. Then again, Powahatan went through the same deal. Well, he had multiple families in real life.

50. Sure Aurora may be the heroine in Sleeping Beauty, but Maleficent makes evil look cool.

I mean there’s a reason why Disney made a movie revolving around her. Also, can I tell you she turns into a dragon? Too bad Prince Philip kills her.

51. Dr. Facilier always has friends on the other side.

He’s also known to turn spoiled princes into frogs and making voodoo practitioners look bad. Sorry, but voodoo isn’t Satanism.

52. This slinky costume is always a great idea for a couple.

You know Slinky Dog from Toy Story? Yeah, this is a really cool costume of him if you ask me.

53. Remember, Cinderella, have fun and be back home around midnight.

Yes, this is the standard Cinderella ball gown made by the Fairy Godmother. Still, I think the Fairy Godmother should’ve came earlier when her dad died and called child services. But no one’s asking me.

54. Scottish Queen Elinor always tries to look regal.

However, she ends up being turned into a bear because her daughter didn’t want to get hitched. Her sons get turned to bears, too.

55. The Parrs always tend to be a very super powered family.

Yes, this a family dressed as the Incredibles. And the baby is the most dangerous member. Really, Jack Jack actually killed a guy.

56. Here we have Ariel on the beach after getting legs.

Still, remember, girls, trading your voice for plastic surgery so you can get together with a guy you just met is a really bad idea. Seriously, don’t try it.

57. Seems like these two are ready to spend a day outside of the castle.

And yet, this is another of Ariel’s wardrobe changes. Still, you have to admire Prince Eric’s patience with her. Then again, I think his servant seems to be the only guy who has a clue.

58. Here we find Belle spending a day outside in the snow.

Belle also goes through a few wardrobe changes in Beauty and the Beast. And here she is with a bird.

59. In Finding Nemo, it’s said that all the tank fish in Dr. Sherman’s office fear Darla.

Because Darla’s a girl who’s not very good with fish. And yes, she would’ve ended up killing Nemo if he hadn’t gotten himself flushed down a toilet.

60. As we know, Belle certainly looks stunning in green.

I think she wore this outfit when the Beast showed her his library. And yes, she was certainly awed by it despite that he kidnapped her father earlier.

61. Sometimes you have to let it all go like Queen Elsa.

Except in her case because she ended up causing eternal winter. So maybe that’s not a good idea. Then again, she wasn’t emotionally healthy to begin with.

62. Seems like Ariel has found herself under Ursula’s spell.

Ariel should’ve known better than to consult Ursula to give her legs. Seriously, Ursula had a beef with her dad. She was going to use Ariel’s voice to steal Eric away from her. Couldn’t the girl see that coming?

63. Mulan has some skill with a sword thanks to being in the Chinese army.

And here she is hiding in the woods in her blue outfit. I’m sure her parents would be proud of her.

64. Those who’ve seen Up can never forget the friendship between Carl and Russell.

These are babies dressed as the two protagonists from Up. It’s just so cute it melts your heart.

65. For Aladdin, Abu is always his trusted friend.

Well, Abu is stuffed in this. But I do like Aladdin’s outfit though. It’s probably from the end.

66. Oh, shit, Darla already has Nemo in her bag. That’s not good.

Actually this is a mother and baby costume thing. So it’s fine. But I think it’s pretty clever how they made a tank out of a wagon.

67. In Alice and Wonderland, I kind of think the Caterpillar seemed stoned out of his mind.

However, this is a really good costume. Like how it seems like this woman painted herself green and wore a sleeping bag.

68. Looks like this quaint house is going up to Paradise Falls.

Now that’s a really cute costume. Like how she’s wearing balloons on her head. So amazing.

69. Looks like Russell and Carl have already met Kevin.

Seems like this is Up for the whole family. By the way, Kevin is a girl despite her fancy appearance. Wonder what the male of her species looks like.

70. As Hercules’s love, Megara always plays the damsel in distress.

In the original mythology, Megara doesn’t fare well since Hercules kills her in a Hera induced rage. Also, her family is really dysfunctional as she’s a kin to Oedipus.

71. For Woody, there’s no girl he’d rather be with any more than Bo Peep.

Of course, their relationship doesn’t last since Bo Peep is later given away. But you have to appreciate them as a couple.

72. Seems like this Snow White always has to have roses in her hair.

Well, this is a very dress. I think this look was inspired by the 1500s. Love the ruff and the rose crown.

73. Looks like Ursula messed with the wrong princess in the sea.

That’s one of Ursula being covered in starfish when she’s about to marry Eric. Now that’s just priceless and very creative.

74. This little princess seems all decked out for the ball.

And she seems so happy in her ball gown, too. Hope she doesn’t leave any glass slippers behind.

75. When it comes to WALL-E’s love, it’s always EVE.

And this costume seems to be made from a plastic trash bin. So cute and creative.

76. Looks like Rapunzel really let down her hair.

Like how the baby’s dressed as Rapunzel and the dad’s dressed as the tower. Now that’s being a great parent. So cute.

77. Not sure if Princess Jasmine should rub that lamp in.

Yeah, I know some guys say she’s their favorite Disney princess for obvious reasons. But the lamp belongs to Aladdin though the Genie is really nice.

78. Here we have a heartwarming picture of Princess Merida and her mom.

Remember that her mom ate a tart that turned her into a bear. Still, this is pretty good.

79. For Aladdin, he’s lived his life on the streets.

Yes, Aladdin’s a homeless guy who’s lived his life stealing stuff. Still, in his world, he didn’t have many options but to live as a street thief.

80. Here is the royal duke presenting the missing glass slipper on a pillow.

Well, the duke is thinner in Cinderella. But he sports the same mutton chops.

81. Hey, here’s Emperor Kuzco from the Emperor’s New Groove.

Well, basically this guy starts out as a spoiled brat until Yzma turns him into a llama. But I sure like his outfit.

82. As we all know, Carl and Ellie had a love that would last a lifetime.

They were childhood sweethearts, after all. Still, though she died before the plot kicked in, at least Ellie was happy with her life for she was with Carl.

83. Esmeralda always decks herself in red when dancing for the Feast of Fools.

Unfortunately, this gets Frollo a bit turned on to her. And you really don’t want to do that because he’s a really bad man and an authority figure.

84. Looks like Jasmine seems quite taken with Prince Ali.

To be fair, I think Jasmine knew it was Aladdin the whole freaking time. I mean Aladdin’s disguise was just blatantly obvious.

85. With this family, who wouldn’t want to be their guest?

Yes, this is a family dressed as characters from Beauty and the Beast. Well, at least the ones at the castle.

86. On the Emperor’s New Groove, who could ever forget Yzma and Kronk?

Sure Yzma can be a real witch with a “secret lab.” But Kronk is just so incompetent he’s hilarious. Everyone likes him.

87. Seems like Elsa is feeling a bit anxious for her coronation.

Too bad she didn’t have access to a good therapist when she was young. I think that might’ve helped her tremendously.

88. All Princess Anna wants is for things to be all right for her sister Elsa.

Unfortunately for her, Elsa has gone so nutty that she nearly gets Anna killed. And it doesn’t help that her fiance Hans wants to take over Elsa’s kingdom. So there.

89. Apparently, Mary Poppins doesn’t mind if her man is a bit dirty.

It’s about time I got to Mary Poppins. That was one of the Disney greats with Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke.

90. All WALL-E wants is a little robot love.

WALL-E was such a great movie from Pixar. And this is such a cool costume made from a box. Adorable.

91. Theirs was a tale as old as time a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

Well, if you imagine Belle as Princess Leia and Chewie as the Beast. Like how they have C-3PO as Lumiere. Brilliant.

92. Of course, Gaston has no understanding of the value of books.

He also doesn’t have a clue that Belle isn’t interested in him. Seriously, Gaston, you have groupies. Marry one of them.

93. When Aurora and Philip met, it was once upon a dream.

To be fair, Prince Philip does more than some of the princes up to that point. But he’s still pretty bland.

94. Seems like Rapunzel always likes to put flowers in her hair.

And her long blond hair has a lot of flowers in it. Then again, she’s been locked in a tower all her life. So she doesn’t have much to do.

95. To ward of Maleficent, these good fairies are the ones to call.

I tend to think the good fairies are kind of underrated in Sleeping Beauty. Sure they’re nice old ladies. But they also have flaws and disagreements. Like dress colors.

96. Only Taco Belle can tame the ugly beast of hunger.

Guess she’s a stoner’s dream if I ever did see one. I listen to too much of the band.

97. Here we have a little beauty and a little beast.

That’s just so cute. Here they have a little baby as Belle. And a boxer as the Beast. The dog doesn’t seem pleased.

98. I think this is the kind of dress for Aurora that would please everyone.

Because why does her dress have to be all one color? Better yet, maybe the fairies should’ve asked Aurora what color she wanted for her dress.

99. I guess Mulan didn’t impress the matchmaker on her visit.

Walkerville Elementary School PTA’s Petition to Fire Ms. Frizzle

Posted by historymaniacmegan on August 20, 2015

TO: Principal Julius Ruhle

FROM: The Parent Teacher Organization of Walkerville Elementary School

SUBJECT: Petition to Fire Ms. Valerie Felicity Frizzle

Dear Mr. Ruhle:

In response numerous complaints from parents, teachers, and staff of Walkerville Elementary School, the Parent Teacher Organization has decided to issue a petition regarding the immediate dismissal of fourth grade teacher Ms. Valerie Felicity Frizzle. And we have received the necessary number of signatures all across the area to send this petition on your desk.

Now we are well aware that Ms. Frizzle is a very popular teacher among her students as well as described as intelligent, kind, happy, funny, supportive, loving, and somewhat motherly. She’s also known to be rather enthusiastic about scientific subjects according to her outlandish fashion sense. We’re well aware that she’s very good at her job and her students’ test scores reflect that her teaching methods are very effective. Normally a teacher like her would receive awards for her accomplishments. But she has also attracted a considerable amount of envy and scorn from the other faculty members whose students lack the enthusiasm and grades than those in Frizzle’s class. And it doesn’t help that her students’ high test scores have basically given her job security while other teachers have to struggle reaching out to their students. In short, while Ms. Frizzle has proven to be an effective and much loved instructor, she has made life for the other faculty members at Walkerville Elementary more difficult as well as a living hell. However, her effectiveness in the classroom is more of a source of complaint only among her colleagues than anything.

We are all aware that Ms. Frizzle is a rather strange and possibly completely nuts. However, it has come to our attention that she has behaved in a way that’s unbecoming of a public school teacher as well as possess a certain regard for school policy. Among her violations, these consist of:

Failure to Enforce Dress Code Policies: It comes to our attention that two of Ms. Frizzle’s students have repeatedly violated school dress code policies which she has failed to discipline. This consists of a boy who always wears his hat in class and never removes it and a girl who wears a long sweatshirt and tights (as well as nothing else over these tights as far as we know). School policy dictates that hats are prohibited inside the building at all times while tights aren’t considered pants at all.
Failure to Conform to Pet Policies: Though classrooms are allowed to keep pets, they must be small and kept in some sort of containment like a tank or a cage. Ms. Frizzle’s class keeps a pet Jackson’s Chameleon named Liz who is always outside among her students. This makes her a walking health hazard as reptile bites can cause salmonella. Not only that, but Ms. Frizzle also takes her on field trips as well as leave her in charge of her students whenever she has to leave for a brief period acting as a substitute teacher. Then again, it’s said the Liz is no ordinary lizard.
Questionable Vehicle Possession: She owns a school bus which is said to be “very unusual” and have a mind of its own in which she uses to take her students on field trips. Her students claim that it’s capable of shrinking and expanding as well as transforming itself into many kinds of items during field trips like robotic animals. In fact, it has been known to provide its passengers necessary equipment as well as transform them into animals. And whenever it shrinks, so do its passengers. It’s even capable of time travel and traveling through screens as well as a lot of other stuff. Though usually under complete control, it can also exhibit independent or even irrational behavior. One student remarked on how the bus malfunctioned with size despite Frizzle trying to repair it, disassembling itself into raw materials while scowling after having done so to several other structures (though one student did slam her fists on its hood before the incident), and becoming a bear wandering off from the class in search of food. We are unsure of the vehicle’s origin or its safety record. In fact, we’re not sure if this vehicle is even street legal, licensed, or even inspected. Okay, she has had her vehicle inspected by a mechanic but he was lousy since he did so not only while eating a peanut butter sandwich, but also insisted that the bus had to go to the junkyard to be crushed. We know better but the bus is still hard to classify.
Misconduct Involving Field Trip Policies: Ms. Frizzle tends to take her students on field trips fairly often which seem more like spur of the moment decisions than anything. School policy dictates that field trips need to be planned before receiving administrative approval. And furthermore, before the trip, teachers are required to distribute permission slips to the students for their parents to sign. Ms. Frizzle has observed none of that whatsoever. Obviously, this has led to plenty of complaints from parents, particularly those who’ve had to pick up their child early. We will elaborate on the nature of these field trips later in this petition.
Supervision Failures: Like we said before, Ms. Frizzle tends to put the class pet Liz in charge of the class when she has to leave for brief periods of time. A lizard does not make an adequate substitute teacher at all under any circumstances. Nevertheless, there were some incidents where she left some students alone or with the lizard for long periods of time.
Sanity Issues: Ms. Frizzle may be a good teacher academically, but some of her teaching methods have led us to question her sanity. For instance, she seems see nothing wrong exposing her students to learning experiences that either puts them in danger or psychologically traumatizes them. Nor does she have any understanding of parental notification at all. When she addresses any dangers, it’s usually in rather casual manner. Therefore, we believe that she might need some psychiatric evaluation or even be put into an institution. Or a terror watch list.

As you’re well aware of, Ms. Frizzle tends to take her students on many exotic field trips pertaining to scientific topics. She also has a supply of other gadgets she takes along with her as well. While it’s apparent that these trips provide valuable educational experiences and provide no costs to taxpayers (since she always uses her bus for these), we find her field trip ideas questionable. Not in educational content mind you, but in the realms of safety and trauma inducing. We should keep in mind that Ms. Frizzle teaches third graders but her field trips present all kinds of safety hazards and content that might send them to a lifetime of therapy. Unsurprisingly, many parents have complained about these trips, especially since they seem to be otherwise impossible to execute. Some initially questioned whether these “field trips” consisted of Ms. Frizzle distributing hallucinogenic drugs to her students but it’s turned out not to be the case. In fact, her bus is either magic or just a very advanced piece of technology. We’re not sure which. Nevertheless, some of her field trip ideas consist of the following:

Outer Space (went there at least 4 times. One incident had a student taking off his space helmet on Pluto which should’ve frozen him to death, instead of give him a mere chill. They also were close to a super massive star that exploded into a super nova, which also should’ve either vaporized them or crushed them to death in a black hole. Not to mention, they have been inside the sun which should’ve incinerated them on the spot just for getting close. Also, there’s the fact that Ms. Frizzle is willing to travel to places in space where NASA wouldn’t even risk sending their own astronauts to)
Inside a Human Body (with the body being one of her students, no less. Another time they went inside a body of another student who was home sick {which was filmed for a Broadcast Day project} as well as one who turned orange. One incident had a student being caught on a wad of swallowed gum in the small intestine. Another had white blood cells attacking the bus. The sick student’s mother was mortified at the disturbing footage of his classmates being inside her son. And she’s a doctor out of all people)
The Waterworks (yes, this might not seem unusual at first, but her idea entails the whole class to be in scuba suits as well as turned into actual water that results in them being carried through the water purification system and going back to school through the pipes leading to the girls’ bathroom)
Through the Center of the Earth (which would’ve vaporized everyone at the earth’s mantle which is filled with molted magma)
The Ocean (not the beach as we know it. But the actual ocean involving underwater food chains, salmon migration, coral reefs, tides, and the ocean floor. Incidents range from having kids turned into sea creatures as well as being swallowed by fish)
Prehistoric Times (with one of the students leaving a fossilized footprint from the Cretaceous period as well as the class being attacked by a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Fortunately, they weren’t attacked by the large herbivores despite the fact that Ms. Frizzle allowed her students to be near and touch their babies)
The Desert (where the whole class spent the night. This trip has received a lot of complaints from these students’ parents, some of whom have called the police to file a missing person’s report when their children didn’t come home from school that afternoon. The school suffered greatly in accountability because it had absolutely no idea where Ms. Frizzle and her students were at the time until the next morning. Most teachers, parents, and staff were in total emotional panic over this and were outraged that you didn’t fire Ms. Frizzle over this)
Inside a Hurricane (which is dangerous enough to wipe out whole cities and kill people. One student got sucked out of the bus and fell into the ocean several hundred feet below. Luckily he only got soaked even though he should’ve gotten him severely hurt if he was alive. Nevertheless, unless it’s their job or they have nowhere else to go, we usually have a name for those who stick around during a hurricane. They’re called, “morons.”)
Inside a Beehive (as worker bees, even the boys. Hive was also infiltrated by a honey hungry bear)
The Power Plant (but this involved the bus turning into a dump truck where it pours and shrinks the class into the plant that leads to them traveling through the electrical system. Again they should’ve been fried when going through the electrical circuits)
The Bakery (another seemingly normal field trip except that it involved a the bus malfunctioning and shrinking the students having to make the cake themselves, all the while the baker in question calls pest control complaining about moths and is called crazy. The bus and the students were also stuck in the oven during baking time before bursting out of the cake. All this with Ms. Frizzle being in the auto parts store the whole time)
Inside an Underwater Volcano (which should’ve fried them for getting too close to the lava)
Inside an Anthill (which the students have filmed. From an adult perspective, it’s terrifying, especially the part when the ants carried off the students one by one)
The Arctic (where the bus froze and two students were stranded with it on an ice flow. Students also jumped into the water covered in blubber but there’s a strong chance at least one of them should’ve caught hypothermia)
Inside a Monster Movie from 1953 (which resulted in the bus being hijacked by a military general in the film as well as at least two students being caught in a spider web. Also were attacked by a giant praying mantis as well as at least one spider. Not to mention, class fell into a spider burrow)
Inside a Student’s Home Bathroom (in which they were all shrunk by Ms. Frizzle’s Porta-Shrinker before being locked in by the same student’s toddler brother, no less. Toddler also destroyed the Porta-Shrinker as well. Class had to use the materials available to build structures in order to escape from a bathroom window. One student nearly fell in the toilet during the process. Meanwhile, the toddler in question was playing with the shrunken school bus after the dog dropped it from its mouth. Also, keep in mind that this student’s mother keeps a gila monster in the sandbox as well as an alligator in the bathtub. Why they don’t call child services on this family is beyond us)
The Rainforest (in South America. It’s amazing that nobody caught any tropical diseases, were chased by crocodiles or piranhas in the water, or ran into kidnappers or Colombian drug lords. In fact, they were lucky just to be caught in a stampede)
Inside a Chicken and an Egg (all while you entrusted her your pet rooster Giblets who later flew the coop, idiot. One student would even be stuck in the egg as it incubated at a very fast pace until it hatched)
In the City Streets (with the bus as a bear and the whole class as critters, which led it being chased by the city authorities. Not only that, but Ms. Frizzle had no control of the bus since it turned into a bear and wandered off from the class who had to search all over the city to find it)
Inside a Bean Plant (with her turning one of the students into that plant in question, no less. I mean she still had her human head to prove it)
Inside a Model Airplane (which crashed and resulted in two of the students having to rescue Ms. Frizzle and the rest of the class)
The Sound Museum (of course, parents knew about this trip ahead of time as being overnight. However, there’s reasonable evidence that Ms. Frizzle triggered a bus breakdown deliberately so the students could stay in the haunted sound museum overnight)
A World Without Recycling (where the bus basically disassembled everything, including itself with a recycling ray)
Inside a Pickle Jar (which Ms. Frizzle might’ve “accidentally” got the whole class stuck in. Another time some students were almost squashed by a cucumber)
On a Mountaintop (in which the bus triggered and was involved in a rockslide, intentionally)
Walker Lake (where the whole class panicked over the notion of a monster eating their fellow classmate. In another incident that same student was dragged to the bottom by seaweed)
At a Junkyard (a trip to this place would seem normal for Ms. Frizzle. However, a junkyard is filled with all kinds of safety hazards and is a very inappropriate place for a field trip. Still, in this place, the students built a robot that eventually went rogue. Also, witnessed a space shuttle crash through a garage roof)
Inside the Bus’s Engine (in an attempt to fix it due to a mechanic’s careless mistake with his peanut butter sandwich. However, the fact that it’s internal combustion would pose a safety hazard for students)
A Pond (which led to a student nearly drowning twice as well as the class being chased by a brown, hungry cat)
Inside a Rotted Log (where the class narrowly avoided being stomped)
Her House (in an attempt to fix her doorbell on Valentine’s Day where she invited the class to her bedroom {though nothing inappropriate happened in there}. However, the bus with all but one of the students gets stuck inside a lightbulb as well as in a circuit and a battery. Now being struck by lightning is lethal enough. But we’re amazed that these kids were in an electrical circuit and returned alive. All this without Ms. Frizzle’s supervision)

As teachers, parents, and staff of the Walkerville Elementary community, we find it amazing that Ms. Frizzle’s field trips always has everyone returning alive and in one piece. However, we must understand that these field trips show that Ms. Frizzle is completely nuts and should never be around children. Among the incidents that happened on these field trips include:

Being turned into various animals like bats, salmon, bees, sea creatures, mussels, reptiles, or city critters (yes, it’s all for scientific purposes, but still)
Leaving the students unsupervised on multiple trips (with one of them being in outer space)
Being shrunk on multiple occasions (which leaves them encountering animals several times their size)
Casually referring to mortal dangers as it was nothing more than a usual safety hazard (such as looking in her insurance manual as the bus is being attacked by a Tyrannosaurus Rex. She also seemed calm or possibly rather excited while the bus was being eaten by a tuna fish as well as when the whole class was being chased by a brown, hungry cat)
Being transformed as water on two occasions.
Might’ve deliberately set some “accidents” in order to use a certain situation as a field trip opportunity.
Allowing a student to create a thunderstorm (which understandably got out of hand as you would expect)
Entering at least two students’ bodies without any informed consent, parental or otherwise (no, she didn’t molest them. She just used their bodies for field trips with that bus of hers, which might violate their privacy)
Having no qualms about doing anything to her students without any parental consent, especially when it pertains to them being constantly shrunk, blasted, baked, nearly devoured, electrocuted, trampled, and other life threatening and traumatizing situations.

Nevertheless, parents who have children in Ms. Frizzle’s class are always advised to take out a living will on their behalf as well as a possible life insurance policy. Yes, we’re aware that Ms. Frizzle’s students usually survive her field trips without serious injury, but it that doesn’t mean such incidences won’t happen in the future. The last thing our school needs is a lawsuit from the parents, especially if it pertains to personal injury or wrongful death. Unsurprisingly, we tend to see Ms. Frizzle as a big liability and as you know, our school budget simply can’t afford to accommodate litigation and settlement costs, especially if they pertain to her field trips. Such financial constraints have made us increasingly nervous any time Ms. Frizzle and her students go on a field trip on that magical bus. And we all know how many politicians are happy to cut funding to education, particularly during bad economic times. We see nothing wrong with teaching children science. In fact, we strongly believe that science should be included in our education curriculum since it’s important kids learn about our natural world. It’s just that we don’t think giving students an adequate science education is worth putting them in dangerous situations like Ms. Frizzle does which we believe just goes way too far.

We also have to be aware that while Ms. Frizzle’s students may excel academically, they also run a severe risk of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Now there’s nothing wrong with exposing children to science but most teachers prefer that students learn through textbooks and documentaries for a reason. Ms. Frizzle, on the other hand, exposes her students to life-threatening as well as nightmare inducing situations. As far as we know, she doesn’t seem to take into account whether her teaching methods jeopardize her students’ safety or scar them for life. And it’s no surprise that many of her former students have sought intensive psychotherapy. Some of have even attracted academic interest from plenty of experts as well when it comes to assessing the potential psychological damage. The bespectacled red haired boy in Ms. Frizzle’s current class will certainly make a fascinating addition to that bunch after he’s done with her.

Thus, as the faculty, staff, and parents of Walkerville Elementary, we are absolutely convinced that despite her effectiveness, Ms. Frizzle is significantly unfit to teach at this school. Her disrespect for school policies, dangerous teaching methods, casual irresponsibility toward her students, and questionable sanity have made a huge liability for the school that we strongly urge her dismissal from Walkerville Elementary School immediately. She may have a loveable personality and sound academic credentials but she’s literally insane that no sane parent would want their kids anywhere near her. We know such measure might hurt Walkerville Elementary School academically as well as be unpopular among the students. But we insist that this school can’t deal with the unfortunate implications of keeping her here, especially when it pertains to putting students’ well-being at a significant risk in the name of education. She simply can’t be trusted with children and the records show this. If not, then the faculty and staff may have no choice but to go on strike as some parents might consider sending their kids elsewhere. Therefore, Mr. Ruhle, we strongly advocate that you get rid of this woman before she causes any further damage.

Sincerely,

The Walkerville Elementary School Parent Teacher Association
